My guess is a large majority of USC fans want Clay Helton removed as head coach. But there is a faction that said last night to just be happy and accept last night’s “road win” as a big deal. They said the fact USC survived is all that matters. This is the era of low expectations. Any win is a big win. The sloppiness or … Continue reading A Road Win To Be Savored?

Someone I know saw John Robinson on the field before today’s LSU-Auburn game and took this picture. So I told them to ask Robinson if he were happy Lynn Swann got fired. “Aw, you know . . .” Robinson said. It all seems to have worked out for Robinson, who is on the sideline for LSU.

Chase McGrath was 9 for 9 on field goals … Continue reading USC-Colorado Live Blog

And Clay Helton probably gets to wear his slippers for a second straight week as … Continue reading My USC-Colorado Pick
