Those who did tune in probably flipped the channel before the conclusion. Experiencing Saturday’s USC-UCLA game was as much of a struggle as [...]

There are three things I’ve come to expect from Thanksgiving: mediocre football, passing out early and inane traditions. Holiday traditions are still fun, but many are of spotty origins.

The horde of recruits had to be confused. Maybe everyone had mistakenly entered the wrong locker room. No, this had to be it.

For all of his accomplishments, Barkley has the fewest [...]

With the release of the first Bowl Championship Series standings, every contender in college football is plotting the complex path it would take to get to the championship game. And the world keeps spinning. The October release is like clockwork; a whole bunch of numbers that mean nothing to the average college football fan is [...]

The rivalry is finally back where it belongs. With both USC and Notre Dame entering Saturday’s game ranked in the top 25, there’s a return to normalcy surrounding the annual intersectional clash. But the renewed sense of relevancy goes beyond the little numbers next to each team’s name. The Trojans head to South Bend, Ind., [...]

USC’s dancing and chest-thumping on the sideline may be nothing new for the fans or players, yet each hop and step seemed more emphatic than the moves the Trojans made in their sluggish first four games of the year.
