77212418
What's up, Yardbarkers? I'm excited to be joining the Yard. I'm a USC linebacker from Lake Mary, FL. I came all the way out to L.A. It's been a great four years. I'm excited to make the jump to the NFL. Just had Pro Day yesterday. Things went fairly well, and now...
 

Thoughts of the Day: 10-30-09 (Halloween Edition)

(Photo by Icon Sports Media) Nothing has been easy this season for the Trojans. It seems like every week they face another tough test on the road. This week it is the Oregon Ducks (6-1, 4-0) and their terrible uniforms. Saturday’s contest will be the fourth road game against...

Ken Norton, Jr... my coach and mentor

Norton-rivers-hammond
Ken Norton, Jr. has been both a coach and a mentor to me and my road dawg, Thomas Williams. We owe all of our success to him. He's taught us everything we know, and he's been there for us as a surrogate father since we're in college away from home, through the good times...

Song_girls_rose_bowl-02
As usual, the USC Song Girls were looking good on National Television for the Rose Bowl yesterday. Judging by the search traffic we received on our previous gallery of USC Girls, there does seem to be some demand on the internets for seeing more of these lovely ladies. So to satisfy...

The new L.B.U. (Linebacker University)

Yesterday my teammate Keith Rivers posted an article about our mentor, Ken Norton. Coach Norton was a great football player. Now he's able to coach us the way he played. We owe our success and accolades to him, and he helped transform how people look at USC. USC has been known...
 

Mark Sanchez, Hilary Rhoda Now Actually an Item?

Hilary_rhoda
When it comes to being a rookie quarterback in the NFL, there are always a lot of questions about whether you’re going to make it in the league. For every Peyton Manning that comes a long, there are a hundred Ryan Leafs, so the odds of success are pretty stacked against you. There’s...

USC Trojans (aka "LBU") start training camp

SC started camp the other day. I talked to a couple of the guys --- Brian Cushing, Rey Maualuga, Taylor Mays, Allan Bradford --- to get their feedback on how things were going. That's a big part of me and I want to stay connected with my old friends in college. I'll follow...

Booties 4 Booty

Some genius discovered that John David Booty is ripe for a grassroots.... er... assroots campaign to win him the Heisman Trophy. Post a pic of your buttcheeks to join the revolution. And if you think that's scandalous, check out what some scalpel-wielding freaks in Ann Arbor...

Yardbarker sat down with Mark Sanchez, the quarterback draft prospect out of USC, to talk about his upcoming pro career, his choice to hire his brother as his agent, and how he almost cut those million-dollar fingers off working as a sous-chef in college. This interview was filmed...
 

USC's Taylor Mays wants a date with Lauren Conrad

It has been a long time since I have talked about "The Hills" on SCP, but Dr. Saturday now gives me reason to. USC Trojans safety Taylor Mays laid two hits on Arizona tailback Keola Antolin last week; one resulting in knocking the RB out of the game. Why so malicious? Well...

Tarnished Heisman is About To Bring Down The USC Football Program

"the book's accounting says $47,000 went directly to Bush out of the overall $291,000 that went to his family. That makes it hard to deny he knew what was going on. While the photo section lacks any photocopied receipts, bank statements, or otherwise, the Author's Note...

Saying goodbye to USC

I want to say to my teammates who are entering the Draft and who I have played with over the past four or five years, I've enjoyed every second of it. Whatever team that they go to, the fans and the teammates are going to enjoy these guys just as much as I did. I enjoyed every...

Pete Carroll's Latest Prank

78203804
Many of you probably remember the dummy off of the rooftop prank USC football coach Pete Carroll pulled on his team and the media a couple of years ago. Carroll was at it again on Tuesday, and this time the recipient was sophomore defensive end Everson Griffen.

Rick Neuheisel Rips Profanity-Laced USC Walk-on Recruiting Video

The video features Brennan Carroll, an assistant coach under his father Pete. Brennan Carroll proceeds to scream, yell, cuss, and crack his voice like he's 11 at recruits who are no doubt saying to themselves, "What gives this privileged and unaccomplished jackass the right...

Mark Sanchez Selects Brother To Be His Agent

Sanchez84160045
I am definitely biased, but I truly believe that the small percentage that one pays an agent is oftentimes more than worth it. There are so many benefits of having representation over going at it on your own. Myself and others at SportsAgentBlog.com have also been critical of...

'Lil Romeo has a 'Lil Promiscuous Posse

And apparently the USC hoops recruit is worried that one of its members knocked up Jaime Lynn Spears. Bad enough the 'lil dude don't like to pass, now he's gotta deal with his 'lil posse running rampant in the pants of his 'lil Hollywood gal pals.

Does USC have a Case for that National Championship?

Carrolltitle
USC started the season with national title expectations but a major hiccup prevented them from reaching their true potential. But after thrashing Penn State in the Rose Bowl does USC have a case for the national championship? The answer is no.

O.J. Mayo going pro

80372275
This shouldn't surprise anyone. What is surprising is that O.J. plans to finish out the academic semester. Good luck in the NBA, Mayo. Keep in mind, though, that players at the next level will often be better than you, and at times you'll have to -- GASP -- pass the ball. You...

Jim Harbaugh, Pete Carroll and an "ugly girl."

Great article from The Feed discussing Harbaugh's war of words with Pete Carroll. In case you don't care about that, there's also a sweet story about Jim Harbaugh, "the family man" attending a party in the mid 90's.
