AT-AT day afternoon from Patrick Boivin on Vimeo. So that is my excuse for showing this video. This is the coolest Star Wars thing I have seen since Empire Strikes Back. In other news…Seantrel Henderson might sit out a year and transfer to Miami. This guy seems like more trouble than he is worth. Even […]

Even though USC and the NCAA released precious little information about their meeting in Tempe, Ariz. — to the extent that “Less Than Zero” replaced “A Few Good Men” as the du jour movie analogy – the three-day affair still provided much to digest. (And from the sound of things, it resulted in more than […]

Tempe, Ariz. — Day 2 of USC’s appearance before the NCAA infractions committee has begun. Running backs coach Todd McNair is still here, with his attorney, so the topic of the morning no doubt continues to be football and allegations…
Read moreUSC now in for day two with NCAA infractions committee
TEMPE, Ariz. — USC’s hearing in front of the NCAA infractions committee got started at 8:30 a.m. local time. Trojans running backs coach Todd McNair joined the meeting, so the focus still may be on football.

USC is in front of the NCAA Infractions Committee in Tempe, Ariz., today and the next two days, a reckoning four years in the making since of star running back Reggie Bush’s lucrative farewell season hit the news in 2006. Fans were impatient about the NCAA’s response in 2007. In four to six weeks, finally, […]

Former USC coach Pete Carroll is at today’s NCAA hearing in Tempe. So far, former basketball coach Tim Floyd has not appeared. New coach Lane Kiffin is also in attendance. So is running backs coach Todd McNair, the subject of speculation that he might have some knowledge of Reggie Bush’s relationship with would-be sports marketers.
Read moreHIGHLIGHTS: Washington State 2009
Sloppy win, but it’s a win nonetheless. The offense got off to a strong start, but they were inconsistent and fumbled more than they should have, but on the bright side, coaches opened up the playbook and allowed Matt Barkley to complete some deep passes. However this offense, and the receiving game in particular, needs […]

Poll: Which RB should get the most carries for USC? “I can’t talk today. I might say anything.” C.J. Gable and Joe McKnight were kidding. Sort of. Before I even approached the two running backs they were declining interview requests from an SID. With most everyone giving their two cents on USC’s running back rotation […]
