Nothing Like A Self-Serving Gesture
USC put up some banners on campus of “Title IX Trailblazers” and look who made the cut: Carol Folt! I’m sure whoever ordered the banners didn’t feel the slightest need to make sure they included the university president. Just like the second banner just happens to include Willow Bay, the dean of the school of communications. Continue reading Nothing Like A Self-Serving Gesture
It Will Be Hard For USC To Repeat In One Category
USC’s defense should be better this season. But how will the Trojans continue the 1.50 turnover margin — the best mark in the nation — to this season?

One Thing Missing From USC Depth Chart
USC’s depth chart was missing one thing: Special teams. We know Eddie Czaplicki will be the punter and Denis Lynch will kick field goals and extra points. But it’s always nice to see official confirmation and who is returning punts and kickoffs. Zacariah Branch has been involved in both during training camp. Raleek Brown is still a candidate on kick returns. Not an Oklahoma fan … Continue reading One Thing Missing From USC Depth Chart
