USC Now “Southern California University”

Some of you probably thought I was joking when I said how many times will we see Cheryl Miller around the USC women’s basketball team in March? Well, here’s another appearance. It’s funny how she hasn’t felt like spending a lot of time around USC until the basketball team got really successful.
