The USC-Notre Dame game in South Bend will kick off at 4:30 p.m. PT. It’s no surprise because the game has been at night for the past decade. But it’s a shame because for decades this was an early afternoon game, which can be a wonderful atmosphere at Notre Dame. You also had a chance for a nice, sunny game. It was traditional college football … Continue reading USC-Notre Dame Game Will Be Night Kickoff, Of Course
So who runs the USC athletic dept. right now? There are no fewer than 7 administrators with the title “Executive Senior Associate Athletic Director.” No wonder Mike Bohn didn’t need to show up. Before it would have been easy to guess who would step into the void when Mini-Me (Sosna) was Coach Bohn’s sidekick. That’s no longer the case.

Austin Overn had a 3-run homer and 2-run triple as USC defeated UCLA in the first round of the Pac-12 Tournament in Scottsdale, Ariz. Overn’s triple was his nation-leading 14th of the season.

USC will now play Washington on Thursday at 2:30 p.m. The Trojans’ top starting pitchers … Continue reading USC Beats UCLA In Pac-12 Tournament

He credited the sports analytics company, SportSource, but called them “Sports Sorts.” He said “jooner” instead of journey. It reminded me of former USC athletic director Mike McGee‘s press conference introducing a new basketball coach in 1986, where he said, “Jim Raveling, George Raveling.” Here’s the press conference with the Bohn gaffes. Continue reading Another Blast From The Past
Lincoln Riley and Andy Enfield put out statements thanking Mike Bohn. You know who has been conspicuous in their silence? Women’s basketball coach Lindsay Gottlieb. Bohn hired her and gave her the crazy sum of $1 million per year to come to USC. So you would think she would at least thank him for hiring her. But all Gottlieb, who is active on social media, … Continue reading USC Notes: Preseason Honors For Football
Former Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren definitely has some Larry Scott in him. And it looks like a good thing he departed, especially after ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported Warren gave the 2026 Big Ten title game to NBC “without the full authority to do so” and behind the back of Fox. That sounds like Scott. So does the part about Warren expecting a bonus from … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Beware TV Streaming Deals
