Trojans Include Twitter Handle On Player Bio’s

In another step to lure top talent and to let blue-chippers know that USC is the place to showcase your football talent, head coach Lane Kiffin and the Trojans are now including twitter handles on player bio’s. This risky move is an apparent attempt to keep prospective players virtually connected to current players without breaking any recruiting violations.    Twitter is certainly a wonderful tool that allows for instant communication without filter to a worldwide audience.  With that said, college football coaches such...

USC RB Dillon Baxter out on paternity leave?

If you watched USC break Notre Dame’s spirit last night, you might have noticed that the Trojan’s star running back Dillon Baxter was not on the sidelines. In fact, he did not even travel with the team. Rather, Baxter stayed home because his girlfriend was going into labor. There is no word on whether or not his girlfriend did in fact give birth this weekend, but with Baxter’s constant absence, there is reason to believe his days on the team...

Mitch Mustain can’t catch a break

USC back-up QB Mitch Mustain cannot get confirmation from the team that he will start this week when the Fighting Irish travel to tinseltown for a classic college football rivalry. Starting QB Matt Barkley, who suffered a high ankle sprain in the first half of USC’s embarrassing loss to Oregon State last week, is listed as the starter despite being on crutches and in street clothes all this week.

USC Removes Reggie Bush Jersey

The Trojans are doing everything possible to disassociate the program from their latest Heisman trophy winner who was primarily responsible for SC’s current sanctions. If you were at the Coliseum last night watching SC squeak past UVA, you would have seen that the #5 Bush jersey was removed from the peristyle steps prior to Lane Kiffin’s home opener. This was just the latest action by the school and AD to rid any memories of the great tailback. SC doesn’t...

Dooley hits the refresh button

Greg King and Marlon Walls will join their teammates when Tennessee opens fall practice this Wednesday in Knoxville. King, a linebacker from Memphis, and Walls, a defensive tackle from Olive Branch, Mississippi, were suspended from the team following a bar brawl last month that left an undercover police officer injured. Head coach Derrick Dooley reinstated the two saying that they showed regret and were contrite in their apologies throughout the investigation process. Tennessee has been under a lot of scrutiny this off-season...

Titans sue Kiffin and USC

Because USC’s culture is anything but desirable, it’s fitting the program was hit with another black eye. Today, the Tennessee Titans filed a lawsuit against USC and coach Lane Kiffin for “maliciously” interfering with coach Kennedy Pola’s contract when they lured him away from the Titans. Coach Jeff Fisher, a USC alum, was irked by the lack of respect and professionalism displayed by Kiffin for failing to contact Fisher or the team before pursuing Pola. Fisher hired Pola through...

A Titan comes to Troy

USC’s adoration for making headlines continues tonight as Lane Kiffin managed to piss someone off beyond the college football world. Earlier today, Kiffin snagged Tennessee Titans running backs coach Kennedy Pola to coach his offense without even having the respect to contact Titans coach Jeff Fisher as a courtesy. Only after Kiffin and Pola made arrangements did he finally decide to contact Fisher. Pola, a former Trojan, will assume ousted Todd McNair’s duties and looks forward to his return...
