Everyone knows what I think of USC because I’m not afraid to say it.
But I hear even some ultra fan-friendly USC media types have been vocally criticizing the football program and Clay Helton. They just won’t do it in a public forum because they don’t want to risk losing access or alienating their audience.
“Clay Helton is a phony and I don’t like the way Mike Bohn has handled things,” one prominent USC media figure told a couple boosters last week.
“I get sick watching them practice,” another media figure told a major donor.
These are strong opinions but will never get outside a restaurant or phone conversation because no one wants to damage their image as a USC superfan/insider or not be in a good graces at USC.
I’m hearing Arizona State is probably going to hire Andy Stankiewicz of Grand Canyon as its new baseball coach. Stankiewicz was the runner-up at USC two years ago when Jason Gill was hired.
QB Nico Iamaleava of Warren High in Downey will visit USC this week. He was offered by Alabama earlier this week.
Probably not a good sign that the "I get sick watching them practice" quote reportedly came from Helton.

You are right Scott. I was a super fan. Now I’m just thoroughly disgusted these last few years. Also I’ve quit donating. I know many like me too
