With the Crosstown Rivalry tomorrow, let’s hail the king, George Tirebiter. Here is George when he bit Oski in 1947. Here is George upset at Bill the Goat of Navy in 1949. It’s not actually Bill the Goat but a substitute that was brought in from a Naval station in Southern California. And here is George at a USC-UCLA rally in 1947. George in glorious … Continue reading A Look At The Real King Of USC
It’s definitely not as fun when the USC-UCLA game is Thanksgiving week. The rally got moved to Monday. Students go home for the holiday. UCLA’s Daily Bruin even declined to play the Blood Bowl against the Daily Trojan this week because of the holiday. Is this going to be the future if Jen Cohen and Lincoln Riley cancel or move the Notre Dame game? Gone … Continue reading If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column
Oregon coach Dan Lanning told John Canzano that he didn’t know how unprofessional the USC press release was last week until people from CBS Sports pointed it out. That’s pretty bad when the employees at CBS — who probably swiftly go through the press release for stats and game notes — notice it’s so bad that they have to mention it to the opposing coach. … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Dan Lanning Got Assist From CBS On Pre-Game Motivation

The interview starts around the 17:45 mark. “I’ve never heard of a three-loss season being called a success at USC,” I said. “Either you’re in the College Football Playoff on a regular basis or … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: No Holding Back On Holding Program Hostage
Today was quite a day for USC. Below is the most unprofessional press release I’ve ever seen from USC. It was written for last week’s Oregon game. A press release is supposed to be a straight forward listing of the facts. Here’s one awful excerpt: “In the wise words of Vince Vaughn’s character from the movie Wedding Crashers, `let’s go kill some birds, I’m psyched.’ … Continue reading It’s Quite A Day For Bad Moments
I will be on with Petros Papadakis and Don MacLean around 4:30 p.m. on 570-AM. I mentioned that Lincoln Riley has never gone to the USC football rally held on campus the week of the UCLA game, including last night. Last year, a prominent USC football player who you would all recognize told me he was around the program the week of the Crosstown Rivalry … Continue reading Someone Tell You Know Who It’s Crosstown Rivalry Week
