@RyanKartje Do you have some indication on why Lyons opted out? You would think it’s not opportunity. Money? Or personal maybe? It’s his life and I wish him success but I was looking forward to seeing him put up big numbers next year

[Nick Wright @UscWright]

@lost_angeles Would be interesting to list out all the programs that are “blue bloods” due to one coach. USC baseball and UCLA basketball come to mind.

[Nick Wright @UscWright]

@RyanKartje I’ve been trying to get my head around the disparity in play between Michigan and Illinois/ND. Is Michigan just not that good? Is it an execution issue (missed tackles, blown coverages)? Is it a coaching issue (schematic shortcoming)? Or a nebulous big road game thing? Thoughts?

[Nick Wright @UscWright]

@ShotgunSpr @ChrisNTrevino @ThePeristyle @FightOn247 @AhmadMAkkaoui @C_Morrissette @RJ_Abeytia Curious for a more detailed breakdown of why the secondary has been so bad. Is it guys out of position? Missing tackles? Bad play calling? Is this a pure coaching issue or players failing to make plays?

Today is a day to take a moment to understand how truly lucky you are to be alive right now, right this moment. Because today there will be two college football bowl games played in baseball stadiums, a bowl sponsored by Snoop Dogg, a bowl between two teams in the same conference, and the ritualistic sacrifice of a Pop-Tart.

Mankind cannot, and will not, be stopped.

Called Miller Moss being a baller✅

Called Lincoln Riley adjusting, seeing his blind spot and having a better defense ✅

Led with entertainment AND journalism instead of sensationalism and character assassination to respect those I cover ✅

Man I love this job. Well loved it 😂

[USC Trojans @USC_Athletics]

USC has 66 athletes competing at @Paris2024 — the most of any U.S. university!

Good luck to all our Trojans ✌️

Bill Walton was one of the greatest basketball players of all time – a champion at every level and the embodiment of unselfish team play. He was also a wonderful spirit full of curiosity, humor and kindness. We are poorer for his passing, and Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to his family.

[Jordan Travis @jordantrav13]

devastated. heartbroken. In so much disbelief rn, I wish my leg broke earlier in the season so y’all could see this team is much more than the quarterback. I thought results matter. 13-0 and this roster matches up across any team in those top 4 rankings. I am so sorry. Go Noles!

[Montreal Expos @Montreal_Expos]

❤️ for Oakland.

[Nick Wright @UscWright]

@ShotgunSpr Wow thank you! Good to remember that I have no idea what I’m talking about

[Nick Wright @UscWright]

@ShotgunSpr @jacksmithpxp Curious when in game they occurred. Through the first half it looked better to the untrained eye. Wonder if the missed tackles mostly happens late in game when the wheels started to come off.

George Kliavkoff had a plan to give the Pac-12 life. It involved the UC Regents blocking UCLA's Big Ten move. But first, he had to sway his presidents to deny their self-interest.

He could not. It wasn't the first time. How The West Was Lost @latimes: https://t.co/7X27nN8QVF

@hbomax how can I download Sesame Street for a road trip only for it to be impossible to access/play? Please help

Saying #USC would be on the verge of a College Football Playoff birth in 2022 a year ago would have got you committed. Some adversity is not a bad thing in a rebuild. Great season and now you have to #FightOn as expectations rise.
