Characters of Sporting Stage
Posted on 13 Mar 2012 by Steven Keys.
His name was John McKay (1923-2001), architect of the USC juggernauts in the 1960s & 70s (1959-75) and original guru of the expansion Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1976-84). It’s a name you rarely see today. John falls into that cobweb-covered category known as historical sports figure, a classification relegated to the deepest, darkest, dankest recesses of the sporting scene by those who set the...

Taylor Mays, a possible solution to the Seahawks’ safety problem?
Posted on 4 Aug 2011 by Erik Olsoy.
Today, the San Francisco 49ers sent out a mass email to the rest of the teams in the NFL stating that Taylor Mays is available for trade. New 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh explained the email by suggesting that Mays was favored more by the previous coaching staff for the previous defensive scheme. Mays was drafted last year in the second round by the 49ers under somewhat bizarre circumstances. M...

Ohio St. football back in the news with more allegations
Posted on 26 May 2011 by Mark Jasper.
More and more Ohio St. athletes are coming out with some pretty revealing stories about the days of playing football at OSU. After the USC sanctions that hit last year and all that went on, is it really any surprise to anyone associated with collegiate athletics? These kids have fame and women thrown at them since they were in High School. Now they get it at an even larger level when attend...

Historic Matchup Heads To Historic Bowl
Posted on 6 Dec 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
Catholics vs Convicts! The Gerry Faust revenge game! The greatest matchup in the history of the Sun Bowl! Had this on Twitter late Saturday night, so make sure you give me a follow @jlauterbach1 (and while you’re at it, plug in @prosportsblog as well) Short of a BCS bowl (or maybe a matchup with Boise State), yesterday’s official news that Notre Dame will be renewing its rivalry with Miami ...

Jackson Frustration, Trade Talks and Dismal USC Football
Posted on 30 Nov 2010 by Lea Anderson.
Sports in Los Angeles last week experienced plenty of troubles. The Lakers losing to Utah and Indiana, the Kings continuing to NOT score, and USC football losing to Notre Dame at home, were some of the low lights. The Lakers struggled a bit last week as they went 1-2 with a win over the Chicago Bulls and two loses to the Utah Jazz and Indiana Pacers. If there is one glaring trouble for the ...

Stanford Takes Care of Business, Takes the Beavers Behind the Woodshed
Posted on 28 Nov 2010 by Donovan Williams.
There is no doubt now that Stanford is a complete ball club. Early this year, this blogger had questions about its defense. In three consecutive games versus Oregon, USC & Washington State, the Cardinal defense allowed the following: 1,512 yards of offense and 115 points. If the Cardinal had any aspirations of a BCS berth, they had to win out, which meant that their defense had to get its a...

Notre Dame: A Study in Mental Toughness
Posted on 28 Nov 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
It is truly remarkable to think about how the Notre Dame season ended. Yes, it’s only 7 -5 (exactly what this space predicted in late August, but the way), but it’s the best kind of 7 -5. It’s the pleasantly surprising kind. We know the story, heard it a million times. But somehow, it doesn’t get old. At 4 -5 and coming off a brutal home loss to Tulsa, it looked like Notre Dame’s bowl...

Pac-10 Preview
Posted on 18 Nov 2010 by Henry Childs.
Well, there’s no Arizona game this weekend, so I thought I could take a good look at the three Pac-10 games this weekend. Washington (3-6, 2-4) vs. UCLA (4-5, 2-4) Thursday, 5pm PST The Huskies, who get Jake Locker back, face a UCLA squad coming off a bye week in a battle that has the Bruins looking to get back to .500 on the season, and Washington trying to keep their bowl hopes alive. Obvio...

Notre Dame Football: 5 Bowl Scenarios
Posted on 17 Nov 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
Not to get ahead of ourselves, but as I did my morning link peruse I came across potential bowl match ups for the Irish. This, of course (I feel like this is required to write), is assuming Notre Dame beats Army this Saturday at Yankee Stadium. The far less likely scenario of a loss to Army and a win at USC would also work, but…I mean….come on…. Anyway, here are five sceanario...

Arizona vs. USC Preview
Posted on 11 Nov 2010 by Henry Childs.
After a humbling loss to Stanford last weekend, 18th ranked Arizona will host USC this Saturday and try to rebound from its second loss of the season. The Wildcats were pounded on both sides of the ball last week against a better-prepared Stanford team. The Arizona defense was worn down, and it certainly won’t get too much of a break against a Trojans offense that is deep and talented. Led by...

Devils Hope to Party Like Its 1999
Posted on 4 Nov 2010 by Leslie Charles.
It has been 11 years since the Arizona State Sun Devils have beat their So Cal rival, University of Southern California. 10 games of total dominance by the Trojans…and 10 games of futility from the Devils. But this year, the Sun Devils hope to see something different. This isn't the same USC team that has beat them fo a decade straight. This USC team doesn't have the same game-cha...
