  1. If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column

    How puzzling does this sound? The USC Alumni Assn. is only going to have a membership tent for three home games this season: San Jose State, Washington and Ohio State.

    Shouldn’t an alumni assn. have a tent at every home game? They used to in years past. And why San Jose State over Oregon? Which game will draw more fans? Alums have complained about the association for several years. No surprise.

    • The Pasadena Quarterbacks Club is back this fall but will be called The Rose Bowl Quarterbacks Club and take place in the South End Zone Field Club at the Rose Bowl.

    The lunches have moved to Thursdays from its traditional Friday time. The first one is Sept. 17th and will have Linda Cohn and Neil Everett, former ESPN hosts and anchors, as guest speakers.

    • Let’s hope this gets fixed in Exposition Park before USC’s season-opener vs. San Jose State. This is an extremely crowded route from campus to the Coliseum on game days.
    • USC is eyeing a bid to operate NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, according to LA Material. The lab is famously run by Caltech.
    • And now for some history:

    CELEBRITY FILES

    • Now here is a scene that would be nice to find on video or a picture.

    In the late 1950’s, Yankees legend Joe DiMaggio attended a USC game with his former wife, world-famous actress Marilyn Monroe. The pair sat in a VIP section of the Coliseum. At halftime, ABC-TV wanted to interview DiMaggio so he came into the pressbox and went to the broadcast booth. He was not joined by Monroe, who stayed in the stands.

    • There was a celebrity near-miss in 1938, where actors Barbara Stanwyck and Robert Taylor missed the 1938 USC-Notre Dame game because she had to shoot scenes on a Saturday for the film, “Union Pacific.” No. 8-ranked USC upset No. 1-ranked Notre Dame, 13-0, at the Coliseum.
    • One of the first USC organizations to start supporting athletics was “the Trojan club,” which started in 1923 and created the “Monday Morning Quarterback” lunches where the football coach would review the previous game.

    The Trojan club was also a star-studded group in the late 1940’s. Actors Clark GableRobert Taylor and Edward Arnold were members in “good standing.” Los Angeles mayor Fletcher Bowron was also a member.

    Gable and Taylor were huge movie stars during this time.

    • Everyone remembers USC beat Notre Dame, 55-24, in 1974.

    But no one remembers some of the post-game spin from the Irish.

    • Notre Dame defensive back Reggie Barrett said after the game that Michigan State was better than USC. Notre Dame beat Michigan State, 19-14.
    • Irish coach Ara Parseghian said it was too cold in South Bend to prepare for the game and then too warm in Los Angeles.

    “We had a week of preparation and it was very difficult for us.” said Parseghian. “We had to work indoors under limited conditions. It snowed. There was ice outside. We wound up working out in 20- and 30-degree temperatures. The blood thickens.

    “We have never played a good second half out here. Look what happened to Minnesota here last week against the Rams. It looked like Minnesota was dominating the football game and in the fourth period the same damn thing happened.”

    If Parseghian were Lincoln Riley, he would have dropped the rivalry right then and there.

    GREAT NEAR-MISSES FOR USC BASEBALL

    • Darrell Evans, who hit 414 home runs in the major leagues, had a locker with his name plate at USC but didn’t have the grades to enter school. So he went to Pasadena City College for a year to get his grades up.

    Evans played on the PCC basketball team, coached by Jerry Tarkanian. PCC won the state championship and then Evans led the baseball team to the state title. None of that helped his grades, however, and he never went to USC.

    • George Brett was close to going to USC but signed with the Kansas City Royals for $75,000 after being taken in the second round. Brett was a late signee, which made USC think it might get him.
    • Ken Brett was considered by some to be a better prospect (as an outfielder) than his brother, George, and was headed to USC before he signed with the Boston Red Sox as the No. 4 overall pick in the 1966 Major League Baseball draft. The Red Sox made Ken Brett a pitcher instead.
    • Tim Foli was also headed to USC but became the No. 1 overall pick in the 1968 baseball draft.
    • Bobby Valentine and Bill Buckner were friends and supposed to go to USC but the Dodgers signed both. Valentine was selected No. 5 in the first round in 1968 and Buckner was picked in the second round. They actually attended classes at USC.
    • Robin Yount thought about going to USC but told the coaches he didn’t like the uniforms. He ended being the No. 3 pick overall in the 1973 draft.
    • Lloyd Allen was a pitcher expected to go to USC but then was the No. 12 overall pick in the draft and went pro.
    • Ozzie Smith went to Locke High School, seven miles from USC, but the Trojans’ coaches didn’t even know who he was and Smith went to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo on an academic scholarship.

  5. USC Morning Buzz: A Training Camp Highlight Or Lowlight?

    USC scrimmaged yesterday and a highlight was this long TD play by freshman wide receiver Boobie Feaster.

    Even USC wanted the public to see a glimpse of Feaster’s explosiveness and put rhe clip on social media..

    But here is something else to consider: Who was on the defense? Among the players chasing Feaster were Taylor Johnson, Jadyn Ramos, Joshua Holland, Talanoa Ili, Trestin Castro, Isaiah Rubin and Brandon Lockhart.

    Most of these guys are first-or-second year players. That explains a lot.. It’s not the first-team defense. I’m providing some context because nobody else will.

    Here’s the other thing: What does Gary Patterson think of the play?

  15. USC Morning Buzz: Can You Make A Case For The Offensive Line?

    I’ve gone against the grain and identified the offensive line as an area of concern throughout the offseason.

    Many listed it as a strength and one reason was the return of all five starters.

    With Tobias Raymond switching to center, one option is that Hayden Treter will start at left guard. So now we have an inexperienced center and a left guard who did not start a game until the Alamo Bowl last season. In fact, he was mostly used on special teams last year.

    And right tackle is also not secured as Justin Tauanuu and Elijah Vikona are battling at the spot.

    The good news for USC is a pathetic first three games (San Jose State, Fresno State, Louisiana) that are glorified exhibition games. So that will give the offensive linemen time to get experience if necessary.

    But there will be questions about how good they are, especially when Oregon and Co. show up on the schedule. I would argue that any concerns I had in the spring and even more amplified today.

    • The Lakers were sold to Josh Kushner and Bob Iger for more than $12 billion. Of course, Iger is the husband of Willow Bay, who is the dean of the USC Annenberg School of Communication and Journalism.

    • The Lakers were sold to Josh Kushner and Bob Iger for more than $12 billion. Of course, Iger is the husband of Willow Bay, who is the dean of the USC Annenberg School of Communication and Journalism.

  18. USC Morning Buzz: Can You Make A Case For The Offensive Line?

    I’ve gone against the grain and identified the offensive line as an area of concern throughout the offseason.

    Many listed it as a strength and one reason was the return of all five starters.

    With Tobias Raymond switching to center, one option is that Hayden Treter will start at left guard. So now we have an inexperienced center and a left guard who did not start a game until the Alamo Bowl last season. In fact, he was mostly used on special teams last year.

    And right tackle is also not secured as Justin Tauanuu and Elijah Vikona are battling at the spot.

  20. USC Loses Center For The Season

    USC’s starting center, Killian O’Connor, suffered a non-contact injury in practice that will cause him to miss the season, Lincoln Riley announced.

    Who knows what the non-contact injury was? O’Connor was expected to be a team captain this season.

    So who starts at center now? The coaches will probably try a few candidates, like offensive guard Tobias Raymond, who took reps at center in spring practice. Maybe sophomore Kaylon Miller. Stay tuned.

  25. Notes: Here’s A Power 4 Opponent With Openings To Play USC

    Now that USC has spurned Texas Tech, and it has no Power 4 nonconference games until 2030, it’s worth pointing out that the Trojans and Notre Dame currently have openings on their schedules in 2028 and 2029.

    The openings are early in the season, which meets Lincoln Riley’s strict rules of engagement. Notre Dame has games available for September 2nd, 2028 and September 8th, 2029.

    Let’s see if common sense prevails. It usually does not.

    • Here are the odds at Bet MGM for some teams to win the national championship:

    8/1—Oregon

    35/1—USC
    80/1—Utah

    80/1—BYU

    150/1—ASU

    150/1—Washington

  30. USC Morning Buzz: Another Tradition Under Risk

    The new football building is open for business and the official grand opening was yesterday.

    It’s wild how some of the fanboy media are acting like they are part of the team when describing the sparking facility. Does it benefit the media? Do they play in the games?

    One concern from yesterday. The Heisman Trophies of past USC winners are on display in the new building after being in the Heritage Hall lobby for more than 40 years.

    Why does it matter? Because if the new building is not open to the public, USC fans will no longer be able to see the Heismans.

    Now maybe the new building will allow public access but consider the McKay Center, where football previously resided, has been off limits to the public since 2012. And I cannot imagine Lincoln Riley wants any part of allowing fans into his inner sanctum.

    Hopefully, I’m wrong. Otherwise, the fans will no longer be able to see the Heisman Trophies. Some people hate it when I stick up for the fans, whether it’s ticket prices, continuing the Notre Dame rivalry or being able to view the Heismans.

    But the fans are really the backbone of USC football so they should be considered.

    Fourteen hours? For what? So that no donors are inconvenienced when they get chaffeured in a golf cart to the ceremony?

    Fortunately for the students, fall classes have not started yet. But summer classses are still in session.

    • USC and Wichita State will play a basketball game at South Lake Tahoe on Nov. 8 per Jon Rothstein. So, Eric Musselman isn’t going to upgrade the schedule, apparently.
    • Season-ticket holders got this loud-and-clear message this week. Your tickets have arrived! Now get ready for San Jose State!
