More to the media than meets the eye
You might not agree with what appears in the paper today, but at least you have the opportunity to read it.
That’s more than the students at some schools can say.
At Texas A&M University-Commerce two weeks ago, a group of football players stole every copy of the campus newspaper because it contained a front-page story [...]
Women of Troy have chance to surprise
For those of you who thought the USC basketball season ended March 6, I got news for you.
You’re wrong.
For the team that overcame adversity and had to adjust to a new coach at the beginning of the season, recorded huge wins over ranked teams, suffered through injuries and bad losses and was boosted back up [...]
Enviable spring locations for Trojans
The countdown has officially begun.
Spring break is just days away, and many students have already mentally checked out of class and checked into vacation mode.
Whether you’re heading on a cruise to Ensenada, Mexico, or simply lounging around Los Angeles next week, remember one thing: Most spring athletes aren’t getting a break.
That’s right. The majority of [...]
Referees just getting in the way of the game
Officiating is one of those things nobody likes.
Seriously.
When’s the last time you came away pleased with the refereeing in a game you were watching, praising the officials for a job well done?
The officiating in Saturday’s USC-Arizona men’s game wasn’t too great, and controversy ensued.
In their last game of the season, the Trojans were up by [...]
Women of Troy build on missed chances
Try to remember the most frustrating sports moment you have ever had — whether you were playing on the field, watching from the stands or just following the game on television.
Try to remember just how depressing, upsetting and maddening that moment was for you, how nothing could shake the incident from your mind and how [...]
Combine ruled by perception not fact
Pete Carroll always used to joke that he refused to divulge Taylor Mays’ 40-yard dash time because no one would believe him if he did.
I guess now we’ll never know the truth.
The answer was supposed to be finally revealed once and for all Tuesday at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis. It looked for a [...]
Trojans have nothing to be ashamed of
March is sneaky.
The other day, it crept up behind me more quietly than Elmer Fudd, tapped me on my opposite shoulder and then laughed as I looked the other way.
I couldn’t help but smile, as I was finally reunited with my good buddy.
We walked to class together and discussed many things. I caught a whiff [...]
Confidence, swagger must return to USC
Through six innings the score was tied.
USC and UCLA were in the midst of a 1-1 pitchers’ duel on a beautiful Sunday afternoon at Dodger Stadium. The early season rivalry game was living up to its name.
But then all too quickly it unraveled for the Trojans.
Sophomore pitcher Ben Mount, who had pitched brilliantly in relief [...]
Trojans could use an energy booster
Being tired sucks.
Your outlook on everything changes. Your productivity, your efficiency, your excitement — they all go down. All you want to do is finish your day and get to sleep.
But sometimes you can’t.
Sometimes you’ve got class from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., work until midnight and a few hours of homework to do before [...]
Omaha calling USC back to baseball’s elite
Before you go ahead and book your tickets for the College World Series at Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, Neb., let the season play out a little bit more.
It is, after all, only four games old.
But at 3-1, the USC baseball team couldn’t have asked for a better start — other than 4-0, of course.
Really though [...]
