You know what I like most about the new football building? The elimination of the fanboy media filming the players walking up the ramp from the McKay Center to Howard Jones Field. It was ridiculous having multiple people with their camera phones showing a player walk up a ramp and cross the street to practice. Thankfully, it’s not happening anymore. USC has hired Hayley Elwood … Continue reading Notes: Some Changes For This USC Season
A USC donor offered his experience at the Salute to Troy dinner: I didn’t see Lincoln Riley mingle at all. I think he came from the (football) building directly to the podium (at Loker Stadium). He did the same at the building grand opening ceremony and tour. You have the big contributors for the building sitting outside on the road and when they are ready … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Lincoln Riley Confident Ahead Of Mighty San Jose State
If you wanted to find a college football pundit who thinks USC can win the national title, it would figure to come from Fox Sports. The only surprise is it is not Joel Klatt. Instead, it is analyst RJ Young, who says USC has the best offensive and defensive coordinators in the country. He’s referring to Lincoln Riley, of course.

So I’ve had a theory on USC recruiting for this season, especially after Charmin Bowden said the Trojans will take a smaller class of around 15 players, theoretically because he doesn’t believe there are many good prospects. USC reportedly spent at least … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Time For A Recruiting Theory
It’s game week. Are you getting goosebumps? Noon at the Coliseum on Saturday. Should be a nice, cool, refreshing atmosphere. A huge crowd (lol). Much better than playing Notre Dame in November. Sir Lincoln of Riley certainly thinks so. USC is paying San Jose State $1.4 million to play in Saturday’s game. So that is what it cost to replace the Notre Dame game. Great … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Here Comes The Season!
The Salute to Troy kickoff dinner was Friday night at USC. And for the fifth straight year, Lincoln Riley did not emcee the event. Since at least the mid-1990’s, the USC coach has been the emcee of the dinner. John Robinson used to enjoy it and every coach after him also did it (including Pete Carroll and infamously, Steve Sarkisian). But the point is they … Continue reading USC Sunday Buzz: If You Push Aside Tradition, Then You Need To Win
