With the USC-UCLA game tomorow, here’s a picture from the Crosstown Rivalry in 1967. The teams actually played each other four times that season.

Bland was sentenced to two years of probation and 100 hours of community service in June. I’m also told USC is conducting another internal investigation of USC basketball.

So you can read plenty of media reports tonight on the USC-Villanova exhibition game at the Galen Center at 8 p.m. But I’m more interested in behind the scenes. Villanova athletic director Mark Jackson would love to become the new athletic director at USC. There was a time when Pat Haden described Jackson as an “A+” to athletic dept. employees and built a plaque to … Continue reading What’s Going On Behind Scenes At USC-Villanova Game?
