Hail Caesar!
Former USC coach Pete Carroll received an honorary degree today from his alma mater, University of the Pacific. I can’t believe it took Pacific longer than USC to award Carroll an honorary degree. But Max Nikias wasn’t known for wasting time when it came to honoring someone he liked. “This was a very meaningful time, so to come back, the recognition, I’m humbled by that. … Continue reading Hail Caesar!
USC Saturday Buzz: Yet Another Jordan Addison Update
Pitt wide receiver Jordan Addison is visiting USC. A USC player tells me there is a locker set aside for Addison, perhaps a sign of USC’s confidence although he is still supposed to visit Alabama. Lincoln Riley threw out the first pitch at Dodger Stadium.

USC Friday Column Supplement
More on card stunts. USC used to do them like this “Westwood Sucks” card stunt in the 1970’s. But it’s still something that is done around the country.

But five-stars that can come in and start right away. … Continue reading If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column
An Early USC Line That Will Raise Eyebrows
USC is a 3-point favorite for its Oct. 15 game at Utah according to FanDuel. This early line might raise some eyebrows given how many pundits are picking Utah to win the Pac-12 South. I think USC can win the Pac-12 South and lose at Utah. It’s traditionally a tough game at Rice-Eccles Stadium. But maybe the oddsmakers figure most people want to bet USC … Continue reading An Early USC Line That Will Raise Eyebrows
USC Morning Buzz: Would You Rather Be The Star Or Win?
My emerging star for USC this season is wide receiver Brenden Rice, the transfer from Colorado. But a Pac-12 coach discussed with me this week whether it would be better to be the star (at Colorado) or to be part of a receiving corps with Mario Williams, Gary Bryant, maybe Jordan Addison, Terrell Bynum, Tahj Washington, etc.? I suppose it all depends on how much … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Would You Rather Be The Star Or Win?
