A USC student sent me this photo Monday. They said it was on a wall of a building on Figueroa St. about 2-3 blocks from campus. It’s surprising because that’s the kind of thing you might see in the SEC. Then again, I wrote yesterday that fans are even more fed up after not being able to vent last season, so maybe it’s not surprising. Continue reading Morning Buzz: A Sign USC Can Be Like SEC Schools
