Clay Helton did not have a press conference on Signing Day earlier this month, the first time USC has skipped one in probably 40-50 years.

How is being average a sign … Continue reading Is Colorado Really Going To Hire Steve Sarkisian?
Another person who attended the Carol Folt event on Tuesday night in Santa Monica said that when alumni were allowed to ask questions, there was not a single question about football or sports. “She got off easy In the Q & A,” the person said. Can you imagine if an SEC school did a meet-and-greet featuring the president and had an underachiever as football coach? … Continue reading Morning Buzz: USC Fans Tend To Be Very Nice
