USC is mostly communicating with national media (Pete Thamel, Dennis Dodd, Pat Forde, Bruce Feldman) today. There’s always been a caste system in the athletic dept., where national writers get treated better. But is this an effective way to communicate? One high ranking USC official terms Clay Helton report “ridiculous.” Doesn’t mean it can’t happen at some point. But nothing in the works at the … Continue reading USC Turns To National Media

If Mike Bohn wants to save millions, he will bring Helton … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Mr. Bohn Is On The Clock

Ed Orgeron has the nation’s No. 1-ranked team and he has ranked No. 1 in the way he has destroyed USC all-the-way from LSU this season. Marcus Allen is on the sideline tonight with John Robinson at the LSU-Texas A&M game. Allen didn’t even show up at USC in 2016 when his bobblehead was given away at the Coliseum.
