USC Morning Buzz: Time For A Spring Practice Observation

Did you know that during a reception with alumni on Friday night, USC president Beong-Soo Kim referred to Jen Cohen as the “best athletic director in the country.” It is not unusual for him to coach up every position on the defense at practices, not just the secondary, which is his specialty. This bodes well overall for the defense but as I’ve alluded since he got … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Time For A Spring Practice Observation

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

USC Saturday Buzz: Where Is Eric Musselman?

UCLA coach Mick Cronin, the angry gnome, has made two videos this week for students about attending tonight’s game at the Galen Center. Eric Musselman? Crickets. It’s a shame that Musselman, who works harder than any coach trying to drum up interest in the program, has gone MIA this week. It gives the impression, rightly or wrongly, that he has given up. Maybe he is … Continue reading USC Saturday Buzz: Where Is Eric Musselman?

If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column

Where would we be without breathless spring reports that wide receiver Trent Mosley is really good? Who knew? It’s similar to when the Penn State fan bought the ticket to run out on the field before the USC game. These fans are wired in 24/7. 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
