The last #USC game with a lightning delay?

2012 vs. Syracuse

Also the last time USC won in the eastern time zone

I just learned about Carter Capps' hop-step delivery...

I think I broke my ankle just thinking about throwing off the mound like that.

I'm trying, really trying, not to fall for the trap of thinking #USC will be good this season. I'm doing a terrible job of it, especially when people give me an opening to talk about all the signs that the Trojans *already* turned the corner last year.

I might be all in on Zacharyus Williams y'all. So I wrote (effusively) about #USC's newest transfer:

I’ve got “l love a TE that has lingering injury issues that never go away” PTSD. So hearing USC is shutting down Lake McRee for the rest of spring camp?

I’m also now imagining the Kidz Bop version of “They not like us”
Walking dogs at the P-A-R-K

7-8 year-old playing little league had a walk out song (that was head turny enough)

“They not like us” plays over the loud speaker

Drake has lost the youths

If you read one thing today it should be this incredibly entertaining look at NBA teams as dogs by @montaworldpeace.bsky.social:

They all have that dog in them: 30 NBA teams compared to dogs
Do you remember the Blink 182 Christmas EP “Dogs Eating Dogs?” Probably not, but put the song “Disaster” on repeat while reading, please.

So @penguinoftroy.bsky.social has confessed to me that she thinks In-N-Out fries are vastly superior to McDonalds fries.

This is the most insane/batshit thing I've ever heard. (And I've heard my parents talk politics!)

Lowkey I'm mad that I didn't realize how much I love Fleetwood Mac and Tracy Chapman. I've wasted way too many years of my life not listening to this music.

one thing i'm hoping we can not do on this platform is post like "ooooh, what a scandal, now over to commercial brought to you by fanduel!" at no point in sports history was it cool for athletes to do anything like what is being discussed here. it's one of sports leagues' rare consistencies

Literally on the podcast last night, Michael and I joked about how there would be more staff moves today because they always seem to happen right after we pod.

Cue USC hiring Dre Brown from Illinois

Nothing, and I mean nothing, compares to USC's "War Time" chants during the Pete Carroll era. All tunnel videos pale in comparison.
