Does the USC fan ever matter? It was announced yesterday that USC would play South Carolina in women’s basketball at Crypto Arena on Nov. 15. A great matchup. But . . . Nov. 15 also happens to be Homecoming at USC as the Trojans host Iowa. This is hardly ideal for diehard USC fans. They couldn’t have played the basketball game on Friday night or … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Does The Fan Matter?
John Fifita, a three-star offensive lineman from St. Francis in Mountain View, Calif., has committed to USC. Who signed off on this first? Chad Bowden or Lincoln Riley? Who’s in charge? Who should be trusted? I definitely don’t trust Riley. Bowden just showed up. I know whose call Jen Cohen would take first. Fifita is a Class of 2026 recruit.

They wonder why USC couldn’t have had one of those events earlier in … Continue reading USC Saturday Buzz: Scheduling Quirk Dismays Some
It’s something to actually be able to watch first-round games of the Big Ten women’s basketball tournament and men’s games next week. I can’t even remember when I last saw Pac-12 Tournament first-round games that were always on the Pac-12 Network. USC plays Indiana at 9 a.m. PT today. A DIFFERENT WORLD If you weren’t at the game, you could listen to Frank Bull, who … Continue reading If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column
