The Big Ten football draft has been going since last week, where the three networks (Fox, CBS, NBC) pick their games. Fox announced its first three games for its Big Noon kickoff: Sept. 7: Texas at Michigan Sept. 14: Alabama at Wisconsin Nov. 30: Michigan at Ohio State The best chance for USC to get in that time slot is Sept. 21 when the Trojans … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Big Ten Draft Underway
Bronny James was listed at 6-4 by USC. But his measurements for the NBA Draft Combine show he is 6-1.5, without shoes. Now this is where I would ordinarily chastise USC for being off on someone’s height/weight, which has been a problem with football for decades. However, I’m going to cut USC some slack here. Why?

For example: USC had a publicist who wanted to go to the relays, which were the same day as the spring football game. The publicist made plans to drive up with NFL commissioner Pete … Continue reading The USC Friday Column Supplement
When USC canceled today’s main graduation ceremony two weeks ago, I said Carol Folt was afraid of getting booed. Well, Thursday’s events certainly bolstered that theory. USC held the Student Recognition Ceremony at Bovard Auditorium. Folt always opens the ceremony with her opening remarks. But she was nowhere to be found at Bovard. Keep in mind this event has the Creme de la creme of … Continue reading If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column
