It was unanimous! The California Senate voted 37-0 and the Assembly 76-0 to pass Senate Bill (SB) 238. Great to see Republicans and Democrats can agree on something. Now, if they can only do that in Washington, the nation could get back on track. SB 238 adds some sting to ...Published on: 22nd January, 2011
Earlier this week I expounded on how USC’s NCAA appeal hearing, which is scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 21, could affect the Trojans' recruiting efforts for this season. But let’s flip the coin over and consider how USC’s recruiting may, in fact, affect the NCAA’s decision on the appeal. The sanctions handed down ...Published on: 30th October, 2010
Good evening, everybody. Welcome to the live blog of today’s featured game between the top-ranked Oregon Ducks and the resurgent USC Trojans from the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Today’s contest features the lightning quick spread-option attack of the 7-0 Oregon Ducks (AP No. 1 and BCS No. 2) and the 5-2 ...Published on: 23rd October, 2010
Oregon is coming to the Coliseum next Saturday. They may take a charter flight or simply sprint down the Pacific Coast Highway. That will probably be faster than dealing with all the congestion at LAX. To say that the Ducks play fast is a gross understatement. My head is still spinning ...Published on: 16th October, 2010
If you were one of those fans who got off the bandwagon one or two games back, you were probably anywhere but the Coliseum today. It was one of those drizzly, overcast days reminding one of the Pacific Northwest. So you were probably taking the kids to the movies or ...Published on: 16th October, 2010
Not counting USC or Cal fans, how many college football fans across the nation do you think are rooting for Cal on Saturday? 50%...70%...90%? They may not like their uniforms. They may not know who Shane Vereen is. Many have never even heard of Kevin Riley. Even fewer probably know who Jeff ...Published on: 11th October, 2010
What on earth is wrong with the USC defense? Obviously, it must be the coaching. Right? The staff needs to overhaul the entire defense. Right? Lane Kiffin needs to lay down the law to his father, Monte Kiffin, the Trojans' defensive coordinator and designer of the Tampa 2. Right? Well, don’t take my ...Published on: 8th October, 2010
Don’t wish the Trojans good luck on Saturday. If anything wish them not-so-good Luck. You know the old saying: "You make your own luck.” The Trojans certainly need to contain their Luck when they face the Stanford Cardinal in Palo Alto on Saturday. That means the Trojan front four needs to stay in ...Published on: 4th October, 2010
Last spring, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim drafted and signed Jake Locker, a center fielder, to a professional baseball contract. Last night, Locker, who is also a quarterback, led his Washington Huskies to a narrow 32-31 win over the USC Trojans. After the loss, Trojans head coach Lane Kiffin was ...Published on: 29th September, 2010
The USC defense is still very much a work in progress. Although the front four are ready to step up their game to the next level, the linebackers and secondary need more time to mature into their respective roles. They are all great athletes and possess the basic skills. But ...
