Every sunny spring here at USC brings high expectations and hype for the upcoming football season. It seems as if, year after year, the Trojans are projected to compete for the national championship several months before the season has even started. Back in 2012, the Trojans were preseason No. 1, and several experts picked them […]

Yesterday, a young life was taken in a Massachusetts court room. This isn’t an obituary, though it could be considered as one because it involves two human beings who are or will no longer be with us. But first, let’s rewind a little to over three years ago when former New England Patriots tight end […]

Women’s golf team should win it all

What did you accomplish this past weekend? Odds are it wasn’t as cool as what Jordan Spieth did. Spieth made 21 year olds across every college campus in America look bad in comparison. He wasn’t celebrating that he can finally get into The 9-0 without his fake ID; he was celebrating that he won arguably […]

USC fans have had a lot to celebrate so far in 2015. Our men’s basketball team pulled off an upset over Arizona State in the Pac-12 tournament. Our football team is no longer under the harsh sanctions of the NCAA, and Sark managed to sign a top ranked recruiting class. The baseball team had a […]

Another spring game is in the books for the USC football team, and it appears there is much to look forward to when the program returns for the season in the fall.

I usually try to keep this column related to USC sports or at least college sports, but with the NBA postseason just around the corner, there’s so much to talk about. Although the top seeds in both conferences are set, there’s so much mystery surrounding the upcoming playoffs. Five teams are competing for the last two […]

Spring teams will keep title streak alive

I’ve got a fever and the only prescription is not more cowbell — sorry, Christopher Walken. Rather, I think the only cure here is a national championship from one of our USC athletics teams this spring. USC has won at least one national team championship every year for the past eight years, which means the […]

It was the opportunity of a lifetime. The pundits and commentators were filled with so much excitement — and so much hyperbole. All they needed was one team, America’s team, to deliver one more win, and the moment could be remembered forever. The headlines were even already written. “Wisconsin Saves College Basketball.” Frank Kaminsky wasn’t […]

By the time you are reading this, March Madness will officially be in the books and college basketball will have a new champion after capturing America’s attention for the past few weeks. If you’re like me, and you’re wondering what you’re going to do with your life now that the tournament is over, don’t worry […]

As a spectacular March Madness draws to a close tonight, another season of college basketball is in the books. Like every year, this March Madness was filled with exciting upsets, nail-biting finishes, and instant classics between traditional heavyweight programs. As a Pac-12 fan, it was nice to see three teams represent the conference in the […]
