What was Mike Bohn doing with all that free time at USC when he was supposed to be at meetings or events? We all knew what Lynn Swann was doing? Playing golf. Pat Haden used to play on the golf simulator in the basement at Heritage Hall. Maybe Bohn just liked hanging out at Manhattan Beach. He told me once he read this blog so … Continue reading USC Notes: At Least Bohn Wasn’t Playing Golf

I’d love to be able to see texts or emails within the conference Friday. There were definitely some USC employees also enjoying the moment. “He let his minions do all the work,” one said Friday. “He was … Continue reading USC Saturday Buzz: More Fallout From Mike Bohn

Mike Bohn has been deleted from the online USC athletic directory. And he has deleted his Twitter account. It’s been quite a day.
