USC holds its football banquet tonight so Clay Helton is not speaking to the media today. Did Mike Bohn or Carol Folt hear any of the USC fans chanting “Fire Helton” yesterday? As Bohn visits with virtually anyone who wants to chat, I would imagine he has heard an earful from fans about the state of the football program. With no decision expected this week, … Continue reading Sunday Night Without Clay Helton

Is it weird that Kedon “515 yards passing” Slovis did not get a game ball but Carol Folt and Mike Bohn did? Anyways, I already discussed Kirk Herbstreit and Brian Griese giving full endorsements to Clay Helton returning next season. But ABC sideline reporter Molly McGrath also defended Helton on twitter. The USC HC job is one of the toughest in CFB, but Clay Helton’s … Continue reading National TV Media Endorsed Clay Helton

Did you hear Kirk Herbstreit defend Helton on the Oregon-Arizona State game? Just like Brian Greise did at the … Continue reading Mike Bohn Won’t Tip Hand

This was a typical Clay Helton victory. USC gets a lead and then has to hold off UCLA. We also saw the bad effects of Clancy Pendergast and John Baxter, which I predicted before the game. Did you hear Brian Griese‘s full-throated endorsement of Helton during the game? He said Helton deserves to return, of course. “It’s not about me, it’s about these kids,” Helton … Continue reading Discuss The USC-UCLA Game
