USC Morning Buzz: Winners And Losers Of The Week
WINNERS Jordan Addison He has an NIL deal with United Airlines, which we are supposed to care about. I’ll be more impressed when some linemen get NIL deals. You or I could get Addison a deal. Malachi Nelson The five-star QB signs with Klutch Sports and then went 14-for-15 for 345 yards and five TDs in the first half of Los Alamitos’ season-opener.

Not Sold On Supposed USC Starting Lineup
Let’s revisit the potential depth chart because I’m not sold on some of these supposed starting lineups. And — big surprise — I’m talking offensive line. I think USC’s best left tackle is Bobby Haskins. And even though Jonah Monheim has been the No. 1 right tackle since the spring, remember he got benched halfway through last season. That leads me to believe USC could … Continue reading Not Sold On Supposed USC Starting Lineup
What If USC Fans Were As Vocal As Tennessee Fans?

Players can’t have morning classes on Tuesday/Thursday or … Continue reading Morning Buzz: USC Will Mix It Up At Practices
With Season Two Weeks Away, How Familiar Are You With USC?
It will be helpful when USC puts out a depth chart because a lot of fans I know still can’t name at least half the team. Lincoln Riley said Saturday that he expects the lineup to change because of daily competition in practice. “There will be somebody this year that’s a starter in Game 1 that isn’t in Game 5, and somebody that’s on the … Continue reading With Season Two Weeks Away, How Familiar Are You With USC?
Sunday Buzz: Remembering Gene Lebell
About a year ago, I rekindled memories of the Olympic Auditorium. So it is fitting to pay tribute to Gene Lebell, who died August 9. He was 89. Depending on your age, Lebell was either a judo champion, wrestler, actor, stuntman, wrestling referee or Olympic Auditorium fixture. His mother, Aileen Eaton, promoted boxing and wrestling at the Olympic. Lebell won both the heavyweight class and … Continue reading Sunday Buzz: Remembering Gene Lebell
