Saturday Buzz: USC Goes Viral For All The Wrong Reasons

The USC athletic dept. seems to really push employees regarding social media.

It’s almost as if they view engagement as more important than actually winning. And this has led to multiple embarrassing moments.

USC committed one of the worst this week. As the movie “The Odyssey” enjoys a huge opening weekend across the country, USC social media tried to capitalize on it. But it was a complete own goal that has become a talking point everywhere.

And here is the worst part. It’s not the first time USC has made this mistake.

      2. I can’t take the idea of One Big Victory every decade. We should stop playing real games and show classic old ones every season at theaters….like old movies….

    word is when Bruins beat the troJies next season, Chesney will drag Lil’ Lord Riley around the Rose Bowl three times!! Riley will fall thunderously, with his pads clattering down upon him!

      1. No one is going to top O. J.’s performance with the Bills, especially that 275 yard day against Detroit [I think]. It’s almost like he’s being punished for something the general public doesn’t know about.

  5. KAM: ’67 reminded us of that 2016 SC team’s amazing victory in the Rose Bowl

    DON: But in 2024 Penn St got a measure of revenge with its overtime win in Los Angeles, although in 2026 SC has to go to Penn St. Some Trojans have chalked this up as a pretty sure victory

    KAM: “Not so fast.” This is one of Penn St’s games of the year, they’re turning it into a ‘WhiteOut; I’d imagine the Trojans come in as a slight underdog

  6. DON: So Iran backed out of the MOU Deal; “I couldn’t care less”

    KAM: You used the term correctly. If you had instead said “I could care less,” the retort could be “Oh, so there’s a chance you care a little”

  7. DON: –And so it is the dawn of the biggest soccer game in 4-years, I know the world is abuzz but I’m not one of them. I’m an ‘American football’ guy

    KAM: The buildup for the game is fun and it’s often better than the game itself.

  9. KAM: Turning back to the upcoming Penn St game, the ‘Lions have always been cemented in as the No 3 team in the ‘Big-10 behind Ohio St and Michigan

    DON: So you’re saying that Penn St doesn’t want to lose its No. 3 ranking behind some upstart like SC

    1. Remember: Penn State’s new Coach, Matt Campbell, started crying like a little girl when he was introduced to the Penn State Alums….”Oh..boo hoo…I’m going to need a minute….oh, booo…boo hoo”

  10. DON: I was thinking how if the Pac-12 was still in place it would continue to be an uneasy path for SC’s Playoff chances– there is the Utah ‘curse and of course Wash&Ore who are still present. And what about the Arizonas and Cal, they usually give us a good game

    KAM: Murderers Row of Ohio St, Indiana and Penn St would like to have a say in this debate

  11. KAM: And now the SC team has to deal with 5-hour flights across 3 time zones like to Pennsylvania

    DON: No wonder oddsmakers give visiting teams about a 3-point disadvantage
