Is This Any Way To Travel?

USC will travel to Indiana on Friday.

Now this is funny, or maybe pathetic. But USC reportedly could not find hotel rooms on Thursday night because of a band convention in Indianapolis.

When USC goes to Notre Dame, it actually stays around 35 miles away where it’s easy to get rooms and there are no distractions.

Couldn’t USC find hotel rooms 35 miles from Bloomington?

This usually falls on the director of football operations but USC’s graduated from college in 2024, so I’m putting this squarely on the shoulders of Lincoln Riley. He’s the veteran coach and makes $11 million. So he should have sorted it out.

  2. It is not a band convention. It is the Bands of America Grand National Championships!! It’s a 3 day event at Lucas Oil Stadium and is America’s premier national high school marching band event featuring three days of competition!

  3. I’m always ready to pile on the Coyote … and in this case, my hunch is it does fall on him ultimately (based on something as thin as reading the October 1978 SI recounting of USC’s thrashing of Alabama in broiling Birmingham and how John Robinson had insisted on the program doing something that was then innovative and rare – bringing air conditioning units for the sideline).

  4. Incredible. Nothing escapes the keen lupine eye of the wolfman!!! his amazing attention to the smallest detail is positively Wooden-esque!! the bullies on this blog will no doubt attack me for saying it, but i’m SAYING it: If wolfman were coach of the trOJies after Sneaky Pete ran outta town, they’d have 3-4 more Nattys (not counting the vacated Nattys of course).

    1. As posted multiple times over past couple of weeks, those of us who are old enough and remember know the SEC has been doing this for a long time … MU’s coach Eli Drinkwitz this week in a weekly press conference questioned why programs remain affiliated with conferences at all when it serves no benefit … the article I’m attaching is rich with irony in that ESPN has been the primary conduit for SEC propaganda and manipulation … USC fans should remember how they used this exact approach in 2003 to elevate LSU into the BCS against Oklahoma, 2007 to elevate LSU against Ohio State, and 2008 to elevate Florida versus Oklahoma … and that one of the catalysts for elevating SEC aggression was the 2004 championship when a clearly inferior Auburn team (that USC had manhandled in 2002 and 2003) was left out in favor of USC and Oklahoma.

  8. A well run program doesn’t have these issues. Sounds like a perfect example of what LR is not- a real leader of a program. So happy O blew out OSU – so LR is still 5 years in without a signature win . Way to go doofus

  9. CFB rankings:

    1. GA 2. UT 3. AL 4. Ucla 5. the princess 6. TX 7. Miami 8. TN 9. IN 10. BYU

    USC has risen to # 18…should USC defeat IN this Saturday they will be close to thecut off (# 12) and then Ucla, they’re in…very possible but it depends on Riley learning how “…to play the man!” No more Larry Smith redux….win!
