Here is a Monday round-up of all things Troy from the past week or so: New AD Pat Haden has been a well profiled man this past week. We’ve linked to it previously, but the LA Times David Wharton wrote a comprehensive piece detailing Haden’s impressive resume. According to Forbes.com, “By all accounts, Haden represents […]

So now we have this instant tradition that says No. 1 and No. 43 are legacy numbers at USC. Apparently if you played between 2002-2003, a standard was set. And yesterday Lane Kiffin said No. 55 had slipped before Pete Carroll came in and gave it to Keith Rivers, who Petros Papadakis calls an, “Internet […]
Read morePetros Screams About USC-OSU
Former Trojan tailback and Fox Sports commentator Petros Papadakis scream-talks his predictions on tomorrow’s USC-Ohio State matchup, all the while looking and sounding like a post-Swingers version of Vince Vaughn. You know, kind of after Vaughn burned out and really, really let himself go.

Demetri Papadakis, the younger brother of Petros Papadakis, will play at UCLA in the fall. The tailback-linebacker from Peninsula High School is the first member of his immediate family who will not attend USC.
Read moreMRI brings good news for Rey Maualuga
Rey Maualuga’s MRI came back negative according to John Jackson on FSN PrimeTicket. While he did suffer a minor sprain, there isn’t much swelling and he’s listed as day-to-day. That’s a huge relief for USC. The all-everything middle linebacker was injured during Thursday’s upset loss to Oregon State. He was at practice on Monday but […]
Read moreBlast from the past
I was watching a classic replay of USC vs. Fresno State tonight on FSN Prime Ticket. It was one of the most exhilarating games that the Trojans have played in years, and Reggie Bush put on a performance for the ages. His 513 all-purpose yards practically clinched the Heisman that evening. Petros Papadakis was calling […]
Read moreUSC Reloads for Another Run at Title
Our tour of spring drills would not be complete without a stop at the L.A. Coliseum, home of the USC Trojans. Offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian, left, had a difficult decision this spring, having to choose between Mark Sanchez or Mitch Mustain as the starting quarterback. Sanchez eventually won the job, but Mustain, who is eligible […]
Read moreRadio Wars: Petros Papadakis Annoyed with Joe McDonnell
It doesn’t really get interesting until the end when the two exit the room at KLAC-AM (570) studios. Petros Papadakis, who is very honest and upfront about who he does and doesn’t like, has engendered defensiveness and ire from those unhappy about the unlikelihood of a friendship with the P. Several months earlier, Steve Hartman […]

I don’t know what’s worse, answering all these questions or listening to Petros Papadakis say, “Mitch Moose-stain.”

You might think it’s impossible for Petros Papadakis to be speechless, but the loquacious talk-show host was at a complete loss for words tonight as he unknowingly walked into his surprise 30th birthday party. Luminaries like Sam “Bam” Cunningham, Matt “Money” Smith and others without a nickname joined Papadakis.

It’s quite a night at USC when I accidentally run into Petros Papadakis on campus and I get a ride in his non-descript Lincoln (Not quite the beautfiul big black cat quality). We can see the blood pressure rising on the Internet at the thought of us being together. The only person missing was Pete […]
