Here’s Why There Won’t Be Great Atmosphere At Galen Center

You will hear a lot of hype this week about making the Galen Center a “great atmosphere” for the USC-UCLA game Saturday. But I haven’t seen a great atmosphere since both schools decided more than 10 years ago to ban the opposing schools’ band and cheerleaders from attending. And placing each team’s students in the rafters doesn’t help either. Imagine going to a USC-UCLA football … Continue reading Here’s Why There Won’t Be Great Atmosphere At Galen Center

They would have pounced with such an argument last … Continue reading Beware The “I Told You So” Crowd

USC Morning Buzz: A Sense Of Urgency Is Lacking

Sometimes, there’s a much better sense of urgency among USC athletes than coaches. “It’s do or die. I don’t have another year left,” guard Jonah Mathews said after USC defeated Arizona. “I don’t have any more excuses. It’s do or die. So every rebound matters, every loose ball matters.” But Andy Enfield? He has plenty of years left. Like three more at $3.2 million per … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: A Sense Of Urgency Is Lacking
