USC Notes: An Under-The-Radar Road Trip
If you are looking for a USC road trip and don’t want to try and get a ticket to the Michigan game, a nice, fun trip would be going to Minnesota. There are wild turkeys roaming the campus today. And the campus is only 10 minutes from downtown Minneapolis. If only the weather on Oct. 5 would be as nice as today. George Kliavkoff was … Continue reading USC Notes: An Under-The-Radar Road Trip
Morning Buzz: The Programs That Will Help Build USC
There is an irony that USC needed to go to Oregon State (linebacker Easton Mascarenas-Arnold, safety Akili Arnold) and Mississippi State (cornerback DeCarlos Nicholson) to improve its defense. All three are projected to start. It tells you something about Lincoln Riley’s recruiting the past two seasons and how far the Trojans were from playing at adequate defense that those programs are providing a spine for … Continue reading Morning Buzz: The Programs That Will Help Build USC

Now that Eric Musselman has completed his roster, you can see why Andy Enfield went to SMU. Enfield knew he was coming off a poor season and was going to have to completely rebuild the roster for a make-or-break year . . . in the Big Ten! No thanks. He’d rather go to SMU for $5 million. The challenge is illustrated in this chart from … Continue reading USC Notes: A Massive Task For Basketball
