USC Restaurants Of The Day
In 1962, USC students could go to Daddy-O Drive In, which had just about everything you could ever want to eat. It was across the street from the campus on Vermont. I’ve heard of the Troy House, a restaurant near USC in the 1950’s. But it sounds “fabulous.” Continue reading USC Restaurants Of The Day
USC Sunday Buzz: Tee Martin Weighs In On Sam Darnold-Cody Kessler Debate
USC offensive coordinator Tee Martin was asked by the Beacon Journal/Ohio.com about radio broadcaster Pete Arbogast’s comments that Cody Kessler ““maybe threw a little better long ball” than Darnold. “I had an opportunity to coach those guys.

USC Morning Buzz: Take The Under
ESPN’s FPI formula projects every year how many games teams will win. FPI stands for football power index.
