It’s always nice to find a clear photo from the 1950’s. Here’s USC tailback Bob Levingston taking a carry against Baylor in the Trojans’ 17-8 victory over Baylor in 1959 at the Coliseum. Levingston is a Los Angeles High School graduate, like Dustin Hoffman, George Takei and Marilyn McCoo. Oklahoma and Ohio State were each ranked No. 2 in the nation when they played USC … Continue reading If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column

I might as well ask whether you would prefer Lincoln Riley or Lane Kiffin as USC coach? I can pretty much guarantee Paul Finebaum would go with Kiffin. Of course, if Riley were coaching in the SEC, Finebaum might have a different answer. I’ll give Kiffin this: When he was at USC, he had to make a public appearance at a sporting goods store.

I love this clip and it has nothing to do with the merits of the argument, but the beauty of an out-of-control Chris “Mad Dog” Russo rant about USC. As he gets going, he yells “Knute Rockne. U-S-C!” Then he says, “They’ve been around since 1910.” Actually, 1888 but that’s not important. Finally, he yells at Paul Finebaum, “Go talk about Vanderbilt football!” "Knute Rockne. … Continue reading USC Rant Of The Day

Don’t think for a second USC won’t try to get a donation from Caleb Williams now that he has $25.5 million signing bonus. It’s actually important because there’s been some donors turned off by efforts to get them to contribute for the new football facility. This project is going to be a test of Jen Cohen’s fundraising abilities, which apparently were not great at Washington. … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Time For A Donation
