This is a crazy story. Two USC students who went to the 2023 NFL Draft on assignment for Annenberg Media last week have been charged for allegedly stealing jerseys for top draft picks, according to the Jackson County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. Eric Lambkins, 40, of Marietta, Georgia, and Jude Ocanas, 19, of Los Angeles, face second-degree burglary, stealing and first-degree trespassing charges, according to the … Continue reading Morning Buzz: Two USC Students Charged For Allegedly Stealing Jerseys At NFL Draft

The annual USC-UCLA track meet saw the Bruins defeat the Trojans in the men’s meet, 88-70, while the Trojan women won, 88-75. It was the ninth straight dual meet win for the USC women. Can I just say that these track meets are run in the most fan-unfriendly way possible. The announcer at Drake Stadium never gave team scores so after events the fans had … Continue reading USC Splits Dual Meet With UCLA

And that $200 does not include any alcoholic beverages. Those can be purchased separately at a cash bar.

Now the sketchy … Continue reading USC Notes: The More Things Don’t Change

The ceremony was just held for the renaming of Cromwell Field to Allyson Felix Field. And it was a true USC production, with school president Carol Folt saying, “Allyson Felix Field is a place of joy.” I’ve never heard that description before for an athletic field where athletes train. Was it a place of joy when it was called Cromwell Field? “To be here today, … Continue reading Allyson Felix Field Becomes Official

Carol Folt and Mike Bohn are expected to host an official ceremony April 10th to remame Cromwell Field as Allyson Felix Field. The 11:30 a.m. ceremony will take place outside the track and field stadium near the P.E. Building. One thing USC hasn’t mentioned yet is whether Allyson Felix will actually attend. USC is going to get a lot of mileage out of the renaming. … Continue reading Cromwell Field Will Be No More Next Week
