On This Day
Today is Mae West’s birthday. She made quite an appearance at USC in 1968 at the the DKA (Delta Kappa Alpha) professional cinematic arts fraternity annual dinner on campus at Town and Gown.

I’m old enough to remember when receivers didn’t care who was at USC. Did Steve Smith not come because of … Continue reading Morning Buzz: USC Blew It With Tetairoa McMillan
USC Loses Another WR And It’s A Big One
Back in the spring, I was told that Servite wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan was USC’s No. 1 target at the position. Well, tonight he committed to Oregon.
