I have to say at the moment I’m in agreement with the oddsmakers right now about USC winning the Pac-12. It has to do with two things: Caleb Williams should be the eraser to overcome the defense in many situations while Oregon seems to find a way to stumble when it shouldn’t.

One of the longest transfer sagas I can remember is finally over as former USC wide receiver Gary Bryant committed to Oregon tonight. This started early last season when Bryant decided to “redshirt” but it was common knowledge he would transfer. He chose Oregon over Texas A&M and Arizona.

Naturally, I find this ranking ludicrous. He also has Bronny James starting over DJ Rodman and Vince Iwuchukwu. This happens if LeBron James makes a phone call, I suppose. But I think USC has … Continue reading USC Basketball Ranked Higher Than USC Football?
When you throw a bunch of college coaches together at a showcase like yesterday’s event at St. John Bosco, what do they talk about? Here was a conversation: Some Pac-12 coaches talked about how one school in the conference fed its quarterback and receivers more expensive food (like steaks) than the rest of the team on Friday nights before games. Talk about a great way … Continue reading As We Say, Some Positions Are More Equal Than Others
