USC Radio On The Move?
Don Barrett of LARadio.com reports USC’s radio deal with 710-AM (KSPN) is over and the Trojans could be moving to KABC-AM (790). Depending on whether you can get good reception for 790-AM, this might be a good move for fans because basketball games are often bumped for Lakers games. KABC no longer has the L.A. Kings, so that should not be an issue. They could … Continue reading USC Radio On The Move?
Maybe Wanda Austin Needs A History Lesson
Remember Riki Ellison posted on facebook that USC interim president Wanda Austin said the following regarding Clay Helton: “He’s not drinking, doing drugs, or sleeping around.” Well, John McKay was famous for hanging out at Julie’s restaurant and some legendary drinking nights.

The coach said 8-10 athletes were denied by Heinel through last year and that at least three might have been denied to open spots for those admitted under the scam run by William “Rick” Singer and Heinel.

No Autographs, Please
If you listened to my interview with Softy Mahler, I said Lynn Swann does not sign autographs. Here is an encounter from a USC booster who attended the 2013 Rose Bowl luncheon where Swann was inducted into the hall of fame. “I approached Swann and respectfully requested him to sign a picture since he is in it. So he barely acknowledges me and in a … Continue reading No Autographs, Please
