Another quick story regarding Brian Kennedy, the booster in the news who called the USC football program “dogshit” on Saturday night. There used to be a scoreboard at Howard Jones Field that Kennedy donated and bore his name. But when Pat Haden — who had a falling out with Kennedy — was athletic director the scoreboard was mysteriously torn down and replaced with a smaller, … Continue reading Brian Kennedy’s Comments Were A Long Time Coming
LSU isn’t the only team with USC ties. Clemson offensive lineman Trymayne Anchrum is the son of former USC basketball player of the same name.
