Notes: Top Prospect Has USC In Top Five
Remember yesterday, I said USC professor David Belasco was now also teaching Pete Carroll’s class. Well, it looks like Belasco is in this video of Carroll’s first Las Vegas Raiders press conference. It’s amazing how some people just seem to be around him like an entourage. Pete Carroll's opening press conference as @Raiders HC had a very special guest 😅 pic.twitter.com/Of7TDOc9Ds — NFL UK & … Continue reading Notes: Top Prospect Has USC In Top Five
USC Morning Buzz: Amateurish Display At Galen Center
I didn’t really expect to write much about Monday night’s USC-UCLA game at the Galen Center but something bothered me. Kobe Johnson, who spent three seasons at USC, was playing for UCLA. Not really a big deal. It happened in football with several USC players like Kyle Ford, Kamari Ramsey and John Humphrey, who were at UCLA the previous season.

USC Saturday Buzz: An Awkward Firing
It won’t be a surprise if Pete Carroll hires his sons with the Raiders. Especially since his son Nate was fired last week by the Carolina Panthers, where he was passing game coordinator. He had only been with the Panthers for one season. Most people don’t realize how awkward the firing must have been. Panthers coach Dave Canales was hired as an assistant strength coach … Continue reading USC Saturday Buzz: An Awkward Firing
