Actress/comedian Catherine O’Hara was honored this weekend at the USC Comedy Festival by being the recipient of the Jack Oakie and Victoria Horne Oakie Masters of Comedy Award. It’s good to see there is an award named after the Oakies given their long association with USC. O’Hara received the award at the Norris Cinema Theatre. She talked about her career, including her hit series’ “SCTV” … Continue reading Catherine O’Hara Honored At USC

The rain yesterday did not stop USC beach volleyball from playing two matches vs. Grand Canyon and Long Beach State. USC won both matches, 3-2. The beach volleyball alumni match is today at 1 p.m. This is honestly baffling: Brandon Miller gets a pat down by a walk-on in the introductions.

Rick Caruso was at the USC-UCLA basketball game sitting courtside and signing autographs. And now he’s being honored by Carol Folt. How long before he returns to the Board of Trustees?

There’s probably more defense on display today than at a Pac-12 game. A battle under the lights in Los Angeles! The #BuschLightClash at the Coliseum is green! pic.twitter.com/JRaEOYeaR0 — … Continue reading Is USC Playing Arizona At Coliseum Today?

USC president Carol Folt has been at the Pac-12 presidents and chancellors meeting in Tempe, Ariz., this week but has little to say because the Trojans are going to the Big Ten and the media rights deal is Topic No. 1 for the Pac-12. That’s fortunate for Folt because right now the estimates are the Pac-12 might get less money than the Big 12 on … Continue reading USC Has Dual Role At Pac-12 Meetings
