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. USC currently has the No. … Continue reading USC Notes: Trojans Add Three-Star Lineman
Remember last month I wrote about a former USC player who spent time around the program saying he was shocked at how little mention of the importance of the Crosstown Rivalry was made during the week of the UCLA game? And over the weekend, Eric Musselman ripped his players for not understanding the rivalry. So we have a football coach (Lincoln Riley) who could care … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: What Will It Take To Understand Rivalry?

Eric Musselman is a good coach. But here is a goal for next season (when not taking pics with celebrities): He needs to get his team to play better against UCLA. The Trojans embarrassed themselves tonight at Pauley Pavilion in a 90-63 loss and played poorly against the Bruins at the Galen Center. Maybe Musselman can get some advice from Mick Cronin, who started off … Continue reading Eric Musselman Has a Job For Next Season
There are some unhappy USC employees because Trojan Family Weekend and Homecoming are on consecutive weekends in November. Why are they unhappy? Because a lot of work takes place on campus for those weekends and having them back-to-back doesn’t give the people who have to organize and set them up a break. They wonder why USC couldn’t have had one of those events earlier in … Continue reading USC Saturday Buzz: Scheduling Quirk Dismays Some
