Lincoln Riley is creating false narratives, which of course, gullible people (like the fanboy media) believe with no pushback. Riley told On3 that USC has now entered its championship window. “Taking this over, you knew you had to go fight like hell just to try to get this window opened,” he said. Does Riley think everyone forgot that in his first season, USC only needed … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Lincoln Riley’s Latest Excuse
Rod Martin, a standout linebaker with USC and the Raiders, has passed away, the Raiders announced today. Martin was a first-team all-conference in 1976 on the Rose Bowl-winning team and then drafted by the Raiders in the 12th round of the 1977 NFL Draft.

This column will be Gary Patterson free, for better or worse. The Big Ten and Fox Sports are pushing for a 24-team College Football Playoff. That’s grotesque but if it happens, will Lincoln Riley agree to play Notre Dame again? The Festival of Books is one of his coups after he stole the event from long-time host, UCLA. It was the TV show, “Rooster” shooting … Continue reading If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Columm
Gary Patterson loves to watch and talk football 24 hours a day. But here’s something people out here don’t really know about the football savant.
