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...

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...

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...

What's up, Yard?
I spent today at USC's Pro Day, where Sedrick Ellis, Keith Rivers, Thomas Williams, John David Booty, Lawrence Jackson, Fred Davis, Sam Baker, Chilo Rachal, Terrell Thomas, and others, worked out for NFL scouts. Below is a bit of what I learned after watching...
USC Song Girls at the 2009 Rose Bowl
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...

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...

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...

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.

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

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.

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...
