USC Morning Buzz: A Lot Of Confidence From Power Circles
I spoke to a donor who spent some time around Carol Folt during graduation week and said the USC president exuded more confidence than ever. “She’s having a good year, that’s the impression conveyed,” the donor said. “She was proud of hiring Lincoln Riley but really there was a lot of talk and anticipation about Rick Caruso becoming mayor and how USC will benefit from … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: A Lot Of Confidence From Power Circles
The USC Sunday Supplement
Some things I wasn’t able to squeeze into Friday’s column: In 1956, you could buy a Trojans jacket at the Trojan shop. Note the sign in back, the “Trojane Shop” for women’s sportswear.

But Coach Jason Gill is fighting for … Continue reading Saturday Buzz: Has USC Baseball Hit Rock Bottom?
If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column
The arrival of Biletnikoff Award winner Jordan Addison from Pittsburgh is another piece of an obviously elite USC offense (outside of the offensive line) and gave fans plenty of reasons to celebrate Thursday. But I wonder how much celebrating was done within the USC receiver corps, especially from the receivers who were on last season’s roster. That would include Gary Bryant, Tahj Washington, CJ Williams, … Continue reading If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column
