I’ve been intrigued by the potential attendance figure for the USC-San Jose State game. There’s not a lot of enthusiasm for USC right now. San Jose State won’t excite anyone. And now the kickoff time will be 2 p.m. On Sept. 4. How hot will it be that day? This is a trifecta for missing a game. Also that day at the Rose Bowl is … Continue reading A Small Crowd Can Roast At USC-San Jose State Game
Freshman defensive tackle Jay Toia has entered the NCAA transfer portal after being labeled one of the breakout stars of spring practice.

Knoxville wanted to get pummeled by the team and USC agreed to oblige him. But the players wanted to hit him so hard that defensive end Matt Childers broke his hand or wrist trying to tackle him. If … Continue reading Johnny Knoxvile And The Stunt That Backfired
USC will only play Washington at home and only play Colorado on the road next season. Andy Enfield is probably upset he can’t play struggling Washington twice but is glad he can’t lose twice in the regular season to Colorado, which has beaten the Trojans seven straight games. USC will open its Pac-12 schedule at the Galen Center against Utah on Dec. 1 and a … Continue reading USC Won’t Lose Twice To Colorado Next Regular Season
