Former USC Assistant Going To UNLV
Former USC defensive line coach Chad Kauha’aha’a is going to UNLV according to multiple reports. Kauha’aha’a was only at USC for one season and then a victim of the fact Clay Helton didn’t care if any of his defensive assistants were fired by new defensive coordinator Todd Orlando. Kauha’aha’a might have a different view of the popular assumption Helton is a “nice guy” and “man … Continue reading Former USC Assistant Going To UNLV

Season Ticket Renewals A Concern

I asked a highly placed USC source how season tickets sales were going and they said the renewal rate was “shockingly low.” “There’s been a huge dropoff, people aren’t renewing,” the source said. I’ve heard from a lot people who say they are dropping their tickets but sometimes what you hear and what is actually happening are … Continue reading Season Ticket Renewals A Concern

The basis is that Fickell was hired by Mike Bohn and they already worked together. Maybe Fickell would also accept keeping some of the recent coaching hires easier than other candidates. It’s worth noting Fickell … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Keep An Eye On Luke Fickell
An Accurate Galen Center Attendance
This is an interesting development: USC’s official attendance for Saturday’s basketball game was 7,622. This seems . . . accurate. Capacity for the Galen Center is 10,258 but both sides of the upper deck had plenty of empty seats. The attendance figure is surprising because normally USC football attendances are inflated by at least 10,000. Some of these empty seats could have been reserved for … Continue reading An Accurate Galen Center Attendance
Some Strategic Music/Noise At Galen Center Prevents Negative Reaction
There is something to be said for the loud music at the Galen Center. When Clay Helton got introduced yesterday, you could start to hear some boos but the music kicked in at such a high volume you could not hear much after that. Maybe it was intentional. But it didn’t matter because it worked. USC fans are generally unaffected by everything. After the game, … Continue reading Some Strategic Music/Noise At Galen Center Prevents Negative Reaction
