The Saturday USC Column Supplement
This is what a USC rally a looked like on Sept. 19, 1952, the day before the Trojans faced Washington State College (it wasn’t yet a university). The 12 p.m. event at Bovard Auditorium was highlighted by the debut of George Tirebiter II. And when I say highlighted, I’m not kidding. Unless you wanted to hear a speech from Coach Jess Hill, who was known … Continue reading The Saturday USC Column Supplement
USC Saturday Buzz: Another Thing That Needs To Get Done
If we need another example of how Mike Bohn shirked job duties, here’s one that bugged me throughout his tenure. USC has not inducted a Hall of Fame class since 2018. Bohn clearly had no interest in the matter as he did nothing while athletic director. I asked a USC official back in 2021 about the Hall of Fame and got the usual excuses: “Mike … Continue reading USC Saturday Buzz: Another Thing That Needs To Get Done
USC Notes: A Bohn Betting Pool
What happens first? Mike Bohn speaks to the media or puts his South Bay home on the market? USC has received a commitment from 6-7 forward Brandon Gardner of Brooklyn, N.Y.

Five USC women’s water polo players — Paige Hauschild, Tilly Kearns, Bayley Weber, Carolyne … Continue reading USC Notes: A Bohn Betting Pool
If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column
As we like to say, if it’s Friday, it’s time for a USC notes column. USC pitching coach Seth Etherton, a former Trojan player, deserves kudos this season. The pitching staff had a 4.39 ERA, which was first in the Pac-12 and 30th nationally. The team ERA improved by 1.08 runs. USC basketball will play KK Mega Basket (the former team of Nikola Jokic) in … Continue reading If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column
USC Notes: A Candidate To Take Seriously For A.D.
I’ve seen 20-30 names already mentioned for the USC athletic director’s job in media reports. One candidate is Tennessee’s Danny White. But he makes $2.31 million a year to live in Knoxville. What would he need to make at USC? I know Carol Folt just wants it all to go away and hire an uncontroversial athletic director. But how much money will Folt (and Rick … Continue reading USC Notes: A Candidate To Take Seriously For A.D.
USC To Open Season Vs. Kansas State
USC (read Bronny James) will open the basketball season vs. Kansas State at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Nov. 6th, according to Jon Rothstein. It will be a doubleheader as Oregon plays Georgia in the other game. Now the first reaction is “USC vs. Kansas State. Good game. K-State had a great run in the NCAA Tournament.” But . . . Kansas State isn’t … Continue reading USC To Open Season Vs. Kansas State
