USC Recruiting Is Something Else, Part II
USC offered a scholarship to Riverside City College defensive end Nick Figueroa today. No problem there since Figueroa has at least 18 other offers. But what took so long for USC? It seems like USC recruiting is in a bit of a panic mode right now. Half a coaching staff gone. An unimpressive recruiting class. This is not how USC should be in December.

An Unpopular Opinion On Kliff Kingsbury
With USC fans continuing to worship the idea of hiring Kliff Kingsbury, just a contrarian view that an NFL coach shared with me. “He couldn’t win with Patrick Mahomes,” the coach said. Texas Tech was 12-13 with Mahomes starting the 2015 and 2016 seasons. Now it should be said the offense was ranked in the top 6 nationally both seasons and Kingsbury won’t be coaching … Continue reading An Unpopular Opinion On Kliff Kingsbury

But then he gets offered and … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Time To Add Stars To Recruit Rankings

This is another reason why Clay Helton needed to be replaced. He can’t win with … Continue reading USC Recruiting Is Something Else
USC Wins NCAA Title In Water Polo
USC defeated host Stanford, 14-12, to win its 10th NCAA title in men’s water polo. The Trojans led 13-6 with 5:04 left and held on for the victory. Finally some rare good news for Lynn Swann. He probably would be happier if it were a golf title. Continue reading USC Wins NCAA Title In Water Polo
There Is Always A USC Connection
You might have read in stories over the weekend on the death of President George H.W. Bush that he captained the Yale baseball team and helped lead them to the 1947 and 1948 College World Series. Well, Yale lost the 1948 College World Series to USC. The Trojans took 2 of 3 games and won the finale, 9-2. It was USC’s first baseball title. The … Continue reading There Is Always A USC Connection
