USC Morning Buzz: Can Someone Clean Up Another Mess?
An assistant to USC president Carol Folt contacted former linebacker Bob Jensen to discuss honoring the 1969 team. If Jensen can actually speak to Folt, it will probably not be a good day for the athletic dept., which has strung him along despite the fact he has organized the team into boycotting the fall scrimmage on Aug. 17 at the Coliseum. One thing that bothers … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Can Someone Clean Up Another Mess?
Looks Like Clay Helton Is Feeling The Heat
USC has some new media policies. Clay Helton is only going to answer questions on Tuesdays and Thursdays. By comparison, Pete Carroll answered questions on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Carroll had a lot less to answer for, apparently. Helton has also decided that only the first 20 minutes of Tuesday/Wednesday practices will be open to the media.

USC Morning Buzz: A Pro-Helton, Anti-Swann Fan
When Riki (Gray) Ellison criticized Lynn Swann on Facebook, it was hardly unusual. He has been outspoken in the past, especially about former athletic director Pat Haden. But Ellison actually seems to be a supporter of Clay Helton with this post. This might make Ellison the only anti-Swann, pro-Helton USC fan. Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: A Pro-Helton, Anti-Swann Fan
Strange Timing With Tennis
USC men’s tennis coach Peter Smith resigned Friday. But his son, Colter, just graduated from high school and is supposed to play for the Trojans next season. He is ranked one of the top 100 players in the nation. Another son, Riley, is going to be a senior at USC and plays on the tennis team. Seems like an odd time for Smith to “resign.” Continue reading Strange Timing With Tennis
