At Least USC Baseball Is Back
Just a note to USC athletic director Lynn Swann on his golf day. USC baseball just lost to Grand Canyon, 7-3, in the first game of a doubleheader but already lost the series because the Lopes won the first game Friday night. The Trojans are 3-6 and have lost 6 of their past 7 games. They have only played home games. I’ve been hearing for … Continue reading At Least USC Baseball Is Back
Isn’t Spring Practice For Competition?
One thing I wonder is why Clay Helton even has a pre-spring depth chart? He is notorious for not putting out a public depth chart until the first week of the season. So why do one before spring especially when there are three new coaches who have not even seen the players practice? Isn’t it about competing?

I think the biggest issue for a team with weak leadership is what happens when it deals with adversity? That will be a key question next season. Continue reading USC Question Of The Day

To let a program disintegrate? To let players do what they want? To coddle stars? To coach poorly? To commit penalties? To recruit poorly? To hire John Baxter and Clancy Pendergast? It’s literally … Continue reading USC Has A Football Culture Per Clay Helton
USC Looking For Players
USC held tryouts for walk-ons this week. I hope there were a lot of wide receivers and cornerbacks who showed up. And maybe every other positions. Plus maybe some tryouts for a head coach, athletic director and school president. Then maybe we will see some improvements and people want to renew their season tickets. When wide receiver Puka Nacua committed to Washington, a lot of … Continue reading USC Looking For Players
