Photos by Mariya Dondonyan. There are few sports more commonly misunderstood by Americans than rugby. Like cricket, Formula One racing and, to a lesser degree, tennis, rugby has escaped the perennial American spotlight perhaps because it lacks the intrinsic “American” qualities invoked by games invented by Americans themselves: football, baseball and basketball. But football as […]
Throughout my childhood, my family and I gathered around the kitchen table for dinner every evening. Coming together for a homemade meal allowed us to reflect and slow down amid the hustle and bustle of our everyday lives. During my first semester of college, cooking out of necessity and eating hastily in between classes, I […]
If you were to ask a college-educated person about politically active campuses in the United States, the University of Southern California might not be the first school that comes to mind. In recent years, however, USC has become a student body that is not only aware of social and political issues, but actively engaging […]
This week’s column was supposed to be about the USC rugby team, but the Trojans found a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory for the second time in four weeks on Saturday. My colleague and fellow Daily Trojan sports columnist Jake Davidson outlined the reasons for the loss, calling the Trojans “just […]
Former USC running back LenDale White made headlines Saturday for tweeting inflammatory remarks about USC Athletic Director Pat Haden.

I don’t remember what happened to the Trojans this weekend, and no, it’s not for the reason most folks would expect of a college student on game day. It’s because in the rush of having to step on the field to interview players, tweeting out the final result of USC’s game against ASU (which I […]
For Trojan fans, it’s going to be easy to look forward to ASU this weekend — but they shouldn’t let last Saturday’s game against Oregon State out of the rearview mirror just yet. The contest against the Beavers was the ugliest 35-10 win I’ve ever seen. Some of us will point to the 7:30 p.m. […]
The Pac-12 is no stranger to talented quarterbacks this year — Oregon signal caller Marcus Mariota sits atop ESPN’s 2014 Heisman Watch rankings as the favorite to win college football’s most prestigious individual award, with UCLA’s Brett Hundley still (somewhat) in the mix. Then there are the old hands: Arizona State’s Taylor Kelly and Oregon […]
