Swim with Mike is more than a fundraiser
On Saturday, USC will host the annual Swim with Mike event at the McDonald’s Swim Stadium. Each year, the event is held to raise money for the school’s Physically Challenged Athletes Scholarship Fund. The event started in 1981 and has been held for the past 32 years.

I’m not typically a fan of doing this, but I want to invite you all on the bandwagon to witness a chance at greatness. This team isn’t led by a well-known face like Matt Barkley or Steve Johnson, and it hasn’t won a championship in more than 20 years, so don’t expect any four-peats. But [...]

USC athletics is on the rise. Though there has never been a significant drop off in the land of Troy, it is undeniable that there has been a recent surge. USC currently boasts several national championship-caliber programs. In 2011, two programs hoisted the national championship trophy over their collective heads — men’s tennis and men’s [...]

In a number of ways, it’s been a bit of a quiet spring for USC. Senior quarterback Matt Barkley has taken fewer reps in order to allow redshirt freshmen signal callers Cody Kessler and Max Wittek to spend more time with the first team unit. Both are competing for the backup spot. Junior All-American wide [...]

In USC’s most recent practice Tuesday, senior running back Curtis McNeal broke off a long run down the sidelines. He broke a couple of tackles along the way and sped down the field, giving the Trojans a reminder of how he ended last season. McNeal ran for more than 1,000 yards, and given the fact [...]

Between stuffing my face with beignets, listening to jazz music in Jackson Square and making my way through the chaos that is Bourbon Street this past weekend at the Final Four in New Orleans, I thought hard about USC basketball. For those who have never been, the Final Four is unequivocally the greatest spectacle in [...]

The USC football team has only two weeks remaining in spring practice. The Trojans are primed to take on any opponent even though they are months away from kickoff. Many questions, however, still surround USC’s roster. Spring practice has not been the easiest transition for the USC football program. Injuries, transfers and multi-sport athletes have [...]

Let’s get this out of the way: We’re going to see a playoff in college football. Not this year or even next year, granted. But at some point in the future — and it’s not all that far off — we’re going to see it. Since January, Bowl Championship Series leaders have been discussing the [...]

Several words come to mind when looking back on top-ranked USC’s exit as a semifinalist from the NCAA men’s volleyball tournament last May: Premature, unsatisfying, disappointing. Ask anyone related to the team and they’d say even these words remain a severe understatement. Losing to a fourth-seeded, 14-loss UC Santa Barbara team was not the ending [...]
