Last year, USC conveniently did not schedule a Signing Day press conference for Clay Helton. It was probably the first time in history the school blew off Signing Day like that. But Helton will speak at noon today to the media as USC feels confident about its Top 10 recruiting class.

No one cared.” Continue reading A Night Time USC Horror Story
Remember the hoopla when USC hired two hype video guys from LSU, the national champions!?!? Well, one of them (Jake Brown) quit once he saw the actual working environment. Today, USC announced it hired Nick Mitchell as its new head of video production. Mitchell came from Cal. So USC went from hiring someone who was at LSU to hiring someone at Cal? Got it. What … Continue reading USC Hires New Hype Video Producer . . . From Cal
