As Pete Carroll and the USC Trojans attempt to climb out of the quagmire of a disappointing season, the radio talk around the Los Angeles southland has centered on a most unusual topic. Is Pete Carroll's work with his charity foundation "A Better LA," detracting from his ability to guide the ...Published on: 19th November, 2009
As Pete Carroll and the USC Trojans migrate down an unfamiliar path (the road to mediocrity), there are still definitive goals that must be accomplished, both for this season, and perhaps more importantly, for the next. The very same questions that, left unanswered, have resulted in this disappointing season, are those same ...Published on: 15th November, 2009
With the 55-21 thumping the Stanford Cardinal put on the USC Trojans Saturday at the Coliseum, also came a number of "firsts" for the Trojans in the Pete Carroll era. Although many of these milestones, none of which was desired by any good Trojan fan, were expected long before Saturday's debacle, ...Published on: 14th November, 2009
Any confusion USC fans had regarding their beloved Trojans has just been cleared up in resounding fashion today at the coliseum. With Stanford's 55-21 thrashing of USC, clarity has been made evident as to the quality of this years version of the men of Troy. They just aren't very good. Its one ...Published on: 1st November, 2009

I am sure that many Trojan diehards will take offense at this notion, and will complain that I am giving too much credit to the Ducks but ...Published on: 29th October, 2009
Okay, Trojan fans, before you gear up to blast me with facts about how USC's running game is strong, resurgent, and very effective, hold your horses (pun intended). This isn't about the running game itself, per se. With the two-headed monster of Joe McKnight (more on him later) and Allen Bradford, the ...Published on: 18th October, 2009
When the Trojans sauntered in to South Bend, many pundits, including myself, thought they would leave with a fairly easy victory. Many of these pundits, once again, including myself, were wrong. As this report card is submitted, it is altogether appropriate to ponder what was learned. The Trojans learned that they are not ...Published on: 8th October, 2009
On Oct. 17, the USC Trojans and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish will take the field to continue a heated rivalry that began in 1926. While USC has dominated the recent years of these gridiron battles, it has not always been this way. Much of the 1980s and 1990s saw the Irish, ...Published on: 6th October, 2009
Let me start this article off by expressing my sincere affection for Notre Dame fans. Now, before you go off and accuse me of being facetious and sarcastic, let me set you straight. I mean it. Notre Dame fans are some of the classiest people I have ever had the pleasure of ...
