Peacock Botches Start Of USC Game

It wasn’t bad enough that Fox Sports 1 missed the first 10 minutes of the USC-UCLA game last weekend. This morning, Peacock was still showing its studio show nearly five minutes into the USC-Washington game at the Big Ten Tournament. Peacock! They eventually joined the game “in progress.” I’m not even sure why we need a studio show for a streaming network. Just show the … Continue reading Peacock Botches Start Of USC Game

USC Morning Buzz: Time For A Spring Practice Observation

Did you know that during a reception with alumni on Friday night, USC president Beong-Soo Kim referred to Jen Cohen as the “best athletic director in the country.” It is not unusual for him to coach up every position on the defense at practices, not just the secondary, which is his specialty.

Fox said you could watch the USC-UCLA game on its app but several USC fans told me they couldn’t even get the game on the app. Why … Continue reading Fox Sports Bungles USC-UCLA Broadcast

USC Saturday Buzz: Where Is Eric Musselman?

UCLA coach Mick Cronin, the angry gnome, has made two videos this week for students about attending tonight’s game at the Galen Center. Eric Musselman? Crickets. It’s a shame that Musselman, who works harder than any coach trying to drum up interest in the program, has gone MIA this week. It gives the impression, rightly or wrongly, that he has given up. Maybe he is … Continue reading USC Saturday Buzz: Where Is Eric Musselman?

USC Morning Buzz: Two Special Teams Coaches And Three Linebacker Coaches On A Busy Staff

USC now has two special teams coaches. Ryan Dougherty, who is Lincoln Riley’s friend and worked with him since Oklahoma, will continue to coach kickers and punters. Mike Ekeler will coach the rest instead of Dougherty. “When we’ve evaluated it, there’s certainly been some areas we’ve been really strong special teams-wise, and there’s been some areas that have held us back and obviously need to … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Two Special Teams Coaches And Three Linebacker Coaches On A Busy Staff
