Now let’s point out a little athletic dept. hypocrisy in between the good feelings about the USC baseball team. Jen Cohen told the L.A. Times that athletic dept. revenue at USC is up 60 percent the past three years and donors have increased the department’s financial reserves by more than 700 percent since she took over as athletic director. How hard was she patting herself … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Some Things Don’t Add Up
In his latest ESPN MLB mock draft, Kiley McDaniel has the Mets selecting USC pitcher Mason Edwards with the No. 27 overall pick. But Max Nikias, who micro-managed the project on Jefferson and Hoover, obviously felt differently. Texas A&M coach Tom Chandler was good friends with USC coach Rod Dedeaux, so he invited the Trojans to help open the new facility.

The Louisiana game on Sept. 12 will start at 8 p.m. … Continue reading USC Kickoff Times Are As Bad As Expected
The kickoff times for USC’s games during Week 0-3 will be released around 12 p.m. today. The suspense must be killing everyone who needs to know when USC plays San Jose State, Louisiana and Rutgers. The Week 1 kickoff time vs. Fresno State has already been announced (6 p.m.). Is this the worst opening four-game stretch in USC history? Not if you judge by how … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Kickoff Times Announced Today
Several people in the athletic dept. have joked that some who work there believe social engagement is more important than winning and losing. If that is the case, can USC finally bury its slogan that “USC is the pLAce to be.” It’s backfired when UCLA just won the women’s basketball title, its softball is in the College World Series and its baseball team is No. … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Who Owns L.A.?
