USC Sunday Buzz: Some Hard Truths With Basketball

Eric Musselman is now 0-4 against UCLA. I think he has done an admirable job to try to inject energy and interest in the program. But it’s clear he needs to rethink how he has run the program. He can’t keep brining in an army of transfers every season and there needs to be higher standards about the character of players. I’m well aware the … Continue reading USC Sunday Buzz: Some Hard Truths With Basketball

Fox Sports Bungles USC-UCLA Broadcast

Fox Sports 1 pulled a debacle tonight. It did not broadcast the USC-UCLA game until 10.9 seconds were left in the first half. That’s because the Panama-Puerto Rico baseball game ran long (and it was a great game!). Fox said you could watch the USC-UCLA game on its app but several USC fans told me they couldn’t even get the game on the app. Why … Continue reading Fox Sports Bungles USC-UCLA Broadcast

The Iron Maiden concert has been rescheduled for the following day. The manager of the team was Sparky Anderson, who … Continue reading If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column

USC Notes: A Tradition Looks Primed To Continue

Su’a Cravens will be the guest speaker at the 57th annual Trojan Football Alumni Club golf tournament. It’s a good time to remind everyone Lincoln Riley has yet to appear at this golf tournament since becoming USC football coach. Here’s the thing: In its past two games, USC has been outrebounded, 91-49. That is atrocious. Lindsay Gottlieb getting exposed when she doesn’t have a huge … Continue reading USC Notes: A Tradition Looks Primed To Continue

USC Morning Buzz: Two Special Teams Coaches And Three Linebacker Coaches On A Busy Staff

USC now has two special teams coaches. Ryan Dougherty, who is Lincoln Riley’s friend and worked with him since Oklahoma, will continue to coach kickers and punters. Mike Ekeler will coach the rest instead of Dougherty. “When we’ve evaluated it, there’s certainly been some areas we’ve been really strong special teams-wise, and there’s been some areas that have held us back and obviously need to … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Two Special Teams Coaches And Three Linebacker Coaches On A Busy Staff
