Dear Athletic Director Bohn – It broke my heart to read your letter of 10:20pm last night in my inbox this morning, as you reinforced support for one of the most immoral and unscientific decisions a body of bureaucrats has ever made in the history of...
This week’s musings are a little shorter than normal but that has more to do with my work busy-ness than my disgust over the USC game on Saturday. I actually do feel that many of the players fought through what could have been a much...
I brought my youngest kiddo to the game Friday night and he had the time of his life, but really his dad loved it even more. Not just the game, but the whole experience with my baby boy. A truly special and unforgettable night. I don’t want...
There’s no question that the feeling after this week’s game is categorically different than last week’s. The obvious issue is an OT loss hurts where a big win feels euphoric. But there are two other aspects I would add creating uneasiness and/or disgust. (1) We just...

This was the first season in probably fifteen years (maybe more) that I was unable to do my "weekly musings." As the "biggest college football lover of all time" (a self-assigned label I used to hyperbolically describe my incredible passion for college football) it was...
The season has wrapped up and I thought some post-season musings were in order since just a few things have happened since my last post. I’d love to leave it where we did (with USC beating UCLA and winning the Pac-12 South), but we since...
What an incredible week for Thanksgiving. After a disheartening performance in Eugene, the Trojans bounced back to pummel their crosstown rival, Bruins, reasserting who really owns Los Angeles, and reinforcing the two most fundamental realities of football: (1) Defense wins championships; (2) When you can...
I strongly suspect that my feelings this morning are very similar to what many other Trojans are feeling: Thrilled we continue this winning streak, thrilled Arizona knocked off Utah to give us control of our own destiny, and really squeamish about this Oregon game on...
