USC topped the Pac-10 media day poll yet again, grabbing a near unanimous 38 out of 39 votes for top dog. The only wayward #1 vote went to...Cal? That must have been a mistake meant for Southern Cal. Or that voter had sand in his eyes when filling out the ballot sheet. Or brain damage. Likely brain damage. Either way USC is the media favorite to win its share of the conference title for an unprecedented seventh year in a row.
The Pac-10 Media poll goes as follows:
1. USC (38)
2. Arizona State
3. Oregon
4. California (1)
5. UCLA
6. Oregon State
7. Arizona
8. Washington
9. Stanford
10. Washington State

After sweeping last week's three-game series against two-time defending national champion Oregon State, the Trojan Baseball team (27-26, 10-11) needs to close out their regular season with convincing wins at Washington State this weekend, in order to gain an outside chance for an NCAA tournament berth.

Fred Davis apologized for missing his last day of mini-camp before a Redskins press conference saying "It felt like I was about to go to the principal's office or something."
USC is planning to tell the NCAA it was unaware of any improper exchange of money/gifts between promoter Rodney Guillory and Trojan basketball star OJ Mayo. In addition "USC will emphasize to the NCAA that it had banned Guillory from receiving tickets to USC games in order to avoid any accusations of impropriety involving Mayo."
The USC women are "keeping it querque" taking an early 5-stroke lead in the NCAA Division I Women's Golf Championships in Albuquerque, N.M. And they're right on top of #2 UCLA...where they belong.
