A reader sent me this mock USC game ticket for the season-opener. How many of you will be happy going to see San Jose State (again) at the Coliseum. USC basketball has a tough assignment today when 12th-ranked Nebraska visits the Galen Center at 1 p.m. Eric Musselman seems to have lost some enthusiasm as the Trojans fade and today is a must victory to … Continue reading USC Saturday Buzz: The Good And Bad Of This Weekend
