Ex-Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn and his lawyers have one simple message for you: Brady is NOT gay! So those pictures you may have seen circulating the internet and headlining on TMZ.com, the shirtless Brady promoting gay-dating websites?...Those photos were used without his permission. He just wants you to know that. As quoted from TMZ:
NFL baller Brady Quinn wants to make one thing clear: He'll huddle up with sweaty, muscular men -- he just won't date 'em. No matter what a gay dating website is leading people to believe.
USC '09 quarterback commit Matt Barkley earned this year's prestigious Gatorade Male Athlete of the Year award. The Gatorade prep athlete awards are given to the nation's top male and female athlete, chosen from among the 12 Gatorade National Players of the Year honored during the high school athletic season. Barkley of Mater Dei HS shared the honor with track & field athlete of the year Chanelle Price (Easton Area HS/Easton, Pa.).
The awards were attended by USC pro athletes and past winners including Matt Leinart ('01 California Football Player of the Year) and Allyson Felix ('03 National Track & Field Athlete of the Year & '03 Athlete of the Year) as well as Portland's Greg Oden ('05 & '06 National Basketball Player of the Year/ '06 Gatorade Athlete of the Year), the Sparks' Candace Parker ('03/'04 National Basketball Player of the Year/'04 Gatorade Athlete of the Year), and soccer goddess Mia Hamm.
Barkley plays host to some sick past season stats including 323.6 yards per game, a QB rating of 121, 35 touchdowns (97 yard long) to only 9 interceptions, 3560 yards on the season with .626 completion.
I predict the Buckeyes will launch their run at a third-consecutive national-title game by taking down USC at the L.A. Coliseum on September 13 in what will be the lowest-scoring game of the season for both teams. Laurinaitis, fellow LB Marcus Freeman & Co. will stifle the Trojans' rushing attack, inviting first-year starter Mark Sanchez to beat them with the pass. He won't.
An additional 1,607 fans will welcome a different outcome as the Coliseum announced an increased seating capacity for the coming season — from 92,000 to 93,607.
USC's baseball team formed eight years after the university itself in 1888. Now with 12 baseball national championships, USC has more collegiate titles in the sport than any other university by a large margin. But it wasn't always that way. In fact, it took 60 years for USC to win it's first national championship. Yes, long before USC baseball had a dozen national championships...they only had one. The year was 1948 and Bob Zuber was a catcher on the USC team. And who did he defeat in the championship against Yale? Only first baseman, and 41st President George H. Bush. As quoted by CSTV.com,
During the championship game against Yale (against first baseman and future President George H. Bush), he made the first out of a game-ending triple play that clinched the title for the Trojans. He led the Trojans in 1948 with a .407 batting average and was a three-time All-CIBA and Pacific Coast Conference selection (1948-50).
After a couple years playing professionally, Zuber moved into the coaching side of the game. He returned to USC as an assistant coach under Rod Dedeaux in 1975 and 1976. His '75 team went 42-14-1 and won the Pac-8 championship.
Here's the shot everybody's talking about. Where amazing happens is damn right. Check out Mayo's sick skills. I can't even hit the 50-pocket in ski-ball from four feet away.
OJ Mayo doesn't seem to be having any problems adjusting to the pace of the NBA summer league. He's averaging 18.5 points per game and about 4 rebounds throughout the Grizzlies first four match-ups. And although his numbers aren't staggering, he's doing it with trademark "skywalker" style.
Follow the jump for more Mayo highlights from the summer league in Vegas.
According to a past Scout interview Thomas Williams' most prized possession is a bible, he doesn't watch TV and his favorite food is a Double Western Bacon Cheeseburger from Carl’s Jr. Now USC's most inspirational player has yet another reason to be inspired. Two million other reasons really. The soft-spoken, reserve linebacker/special teamsman wasn't certain he was going to be drafted at all. While at USC Williams only started 14 games, although he found his niche excelling on special teams. It was those skills the Jacksonville Jaguars sought to pick up when they selected Williams in the 5th round of the draft. Now it is reported by USA Today that the Jaguars have signed Williams to the tune of nearly two million dollars. That's a lot of cheeseburgers.
After watching this video it's clear that Victoria's Secret's marketing department has NEVER been to an actual tailgate. Still, with the launch of their Pink Collegiate Line, it's clear VS is giving it the good ol' college try.
What's sexier than a college girl in Victoria's Secret attire? A college girl in USC themed Victoria's Secret attire, of course. And that fantasy is about to come full circle, thanks to the Pink Collegiate Collection: comfy, flirty sweats, tees and lingerie themed for 33 different universities. The upside: USC is one of the universities offered in their collection. The downside: USC is the ONLY university who's apparel cannot be viewed or purchased online (it's only available in select stores). I know...I was upset about it too.
That is, I was upset until I found out about this free concert on July 17th, equipped with free amusement park rides, a USC/UCLA rivalry competition and free Victoria's Secret Pink prizes and giveaways.
USC forward Amy Rodriguez is worth her weight in gold. Her skills have become ever more apparent as Rodriguez scored the only goal for the US Olympic team in a 1-0 exhibition shutout against Women's World Cup runner-up Brazil on Sunday. With the win, the U.S. women's national team improved to 20-0-1 in 2008. According to SoccerAmerica.com:
Rodriguez, a halftime sub, crushed a rising shot into the roof of the net at the near post from 10 yards out after a cross by Abby Wambach skipped through the legs of a Brazilian defender and took a slight deflection right into Rodriguez's path.
U.S. head coach Pia Sundhage: "... I think we did that in the second half. The fact that we were more patient, kept possession in the midfield and in the back, and at the same time we had A-Rod up top. That was the difference in the second half."
It was the US Team's 6th straight shutout. U.S.A and Brazil rematch on Wednesday in San Diego for the ladies final exhibition game before heading to Beijing. Then the real challenge begins August 6th, when the U.S. takes on Norway its Olympic opener.
Demar DeRozan is saying au revoir to Europe and hello to USC. DeRozan (Compton Dominguez High), one of the top basketball prospects to enter the NCAA in '09, has received a qualifying ACT score and will play for the Trojans, according to FOXSPORTS.com. There was some question as to whether DeRozan would be academically eligible to play at USC. Those questions have been answered after DeRozan improved his scores on the final possible exam for 2009 entrance.
"Yes, I am cleared," DeRozan said in a text message.
DeRozan is the Trojans' greatest hope for recouping from the losses left from OJ Mayo and the ill-conceived departure of Davon Jefferson. DeRozan is a multi-talented player, putting up sick numbers across the board: 30.6 points per game, 8.9 rebounds and 4 steals. He should provide Daniel Hackett and Dwight Lewis with a go-to shooter not afraid to move into the paint, and add a formidable defensive punch to complement the mighty Taj Gibson.
