Night Notes: The Big Ten Awaits
Hopefully, one day soon the Coliseum will have the atmosphere of a Nebraska women’s volleyball game. The Cornhuskers set a world attendance record for a women’s sporting event (92,003) tonight. Can't help but get emotional listening to @HuskerVB head coach @jcook2 talk about what this game means for the state of Nebraska. 🥲 pic.twitter.com/4a8FBoj208 — Big Ten Volleyball (@B1GVolleyball) August 31, 2023 https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js Nebraska has … Continue reading Night Notes: The Big Ten Awaits
A Shake-Up In The USC Secondary?
I wanted to try and avoid talking about the defense today but . . . impossible. Lincoln Riley was asked about the cornerbacks yesterday and the first guy he highlighted was Christian Roland-Wallace, who didn’t even start and didn’t play much until the end of the game. But he graded out the best among the corners. If I’m Riley, I’m asking Donte Williams why Roland-Wallace … Continue reading A Shake-Up In The USC Secondary?
USC Notes: A Massively Tone-Deaf Decision
Talk about tone deaf. This is an amazing bit of scheduling by the USC Alumni Assn. An event in New York City on 9/11? Hmmm. Maybe they could find like any other night of the year. I can’t help but think this is the result of the university taking over control of alumni clubs and disbanding the local groups. No one living in New York … Continue reading USC Notes: A Massively Tone-Deaf Decision
USC Morning Buzz: Buy a Brick For Coliseum
The latest fundraising scheme involves buying a brick at the Coliseum. It’s called the Centennial Legacy Walkway and will be somewhere “in the shadow of the Coliseum peristyle.” Brick prices range from $250 to $2,500. Here’s some examples of the bricks. The $2,500 version is on the far left. Who’s in? Note: I’d like to see something like these with the names of USC All-Americans … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Buy a Brick For Coliseum
Raleek Brown On Scout Team
Raleek Brown spent part of today’s practice on the scout team. Lincoln Riley addressed it after practice: “That was just our decision today as coaches. Raleek’s a really good player but there’s a lot of really good players here. The margins are really, really thin between a lot of guys. “If I start going down the names of guys I’ve had play reps on the … Continue reading Raleek Brown On Scout Team
USC Notes: A Friendly Analysis Of The Defense
I don’t really disagree with Fox analyst Joel Klatt’s analysis of the USC defense. But here’s the thing: If you read this blog, you know I always zeroed in on the secondary first and Klatt doesn’t even mention them below. That’s a convenient omission especially when Fox is always striving to be USC friendly with its cozy relationship and stable of lackeys (Colin Cowherd). “The … Continue reading USC Notes: A Friendly Analysis Of The Defense
