There’s Always A USC Connection
There’s always USC connections to everything. Today is James Garner’s birthday. Since the Rockford Files is one of my favorite shows, let’s check out some Garner-USC connections. (Garner’s daughter, Gigi, just sent me a tweet that she went to USC. Another connection!) Here is Garner at USC during filming of an episode (The Prisoner of Rosemont Hall) at USC in 1977. Here’s Garner (Jim Rockford) … Continue reading There’s Always A USC Connection
Sunday Buzz: USC Gets Tailback Commitment
Three-star tailback Harry Dalton of Dinwiddie, Va., committed to USC today. He is the second tailback to commit to USC for the Class of 2025, joining three-star Riley Wormley of Southlake, Texas. USC now has nine commitments overall for 2025. Four-star QB Matt Zollers recently committed to Missouri over Georgia. That will put more pressure on the Bulldogs to try and flip the commitment of … Continue reading Sunday Buzz: USC Gets Tailback Commitment
This Doesn’t Sound Like A Humbled Coach
This might be a quote to remember from Lincoln Riley today on USC’s move to the Big Ten. “I feel like sometimes it gets made out in the media that the Big Ten is like, some wildly different deal. Like, it’s football, so a couple of teams play with one more tight end. Like, big deal.” This doesn’t sound like a guy who was embarrassed … Continue reading This Doesn’t Sound Like A Humbled Coach
USC Saturday Buzz: Bronny, We Hardly Knew You
What to say about Bronny James? He was an unselfish teammate and blended into the squad nicely this season without any drama. He’s the type of role player any coach would like on the roster. But are those the attributes of someone who will get drafted? If smart, he will transfer to another school. Now that he is gone, what about the shameless self-promotion USC … Continue reading USC Saturday Buzz: Bronny, We Hardly Knew You
The USC Friday Column Supplement
Eric Musselman is being introduced to the media today. So I found a picture of when Bob Boyd was introduced to the media by athletic director Jess Hill on March 22, 1966. Bill Sharman was mentioned as a candidate for the job. Later in the day after Boyd was offered the job, Sharman was named coach of the San Francisco Warriors. Sharman took the Warriors … Continue reading The USC Friday Column Supplement
If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column
USC actually comes out in good shape financially by trading Andy Enfield for Eric Musselman. They make about the same money but USC gets a $1 million windfall because Enfield’s buyout ($2 million) was more than Musselman’s ($1 million). Am I the only one who thinks it will be a jarring transtion for Kobe Johnson to go from Andy Enfield to Mick Cronin? USC basketball … Continue reading If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column
