Podcasts about Southern Cal

In case you slept through it, a predawn lunar eclipse occurred at 5:38AM CST this morning (Tuesday, March 3). The “Worm Moon” (as dubbed by the astronomy community) is a nod to earthworms which tend to emerge from the ground at this time of year during winter thawing. Anyone living south of I-20 knows a thing or two about thawing of late.  Air conditioners here in the deep South have also emerged from hibernation after a recent wave of 80+ degree temperatures – even before the end of February. As can happen during these full moon events, the weekend featured a number of rather unusual sports stories. Women’s half-marathon in Atlanta ended with a surprise finish Sunday’s women’s Half Marathon Championship in Atlanta provided a lead vehicle in front of the leaders pack.  These are commonly used for races in major cities.  With a little more than one mile to go in the race, the top three women runners followed such a vehicle. Unfortunately, it led the top trio off the race course and down the wrong street! The other runners in the field quickly noted the error, made the proper turn, and proceeded on toward the finish line. The confused race leader needed about 60 seconds to notice that she was running the wrong way.  She and the other two leaders quickly made a U-turn.  Those unfortunate detour required almost two minutes in order to return to the original course route.  By then, the confused trio of competitors would complete the race in 9th, 12th and 13th place. The top prize of $20,000 went to another runner. This threesome of wayward runners filed an immediate protest afterwards.  It was denied. Officials claimed that the entry form clearly required each runner to know the race layout prior to the start of the competition. What about that lead vehicle?  Ironically, the vehicle was provided by the host city’s Atlanta Track Club. Driving in a big city like Atlanta can be challenging, but that was downright embarrassing. USC’s 26-year old (!) top scoring basketball player is no longer with the team The 18-11 USC Trojans men’s basketball team has lost five straight games.  After the team’s weekend loss to #12 Nebraska, USC announced that its 19 point-per game starting forward was no longer with the team. Chad Baker-Mazara went down with an apparent injury early in the second half of Southern Cal’s 82-67 home loss to the surprising Cornhuskers on Saturday. Instead of sitting down on the team’s bench, the 6’7” basketball player was found sitting in the stands near the bench between a young lady and another injured teammate. The trio was seen having a delightful chat during the second half of USC’s fifth straight loss. USC has fallen from a likely NCAA March Madness selection to a team unlikely to make the field unless they win the upcoming Big Ten basketball tournament. Second year coach Eric Musselman was unaware of the severity of Chad Baker-Mazara’s injury during the game other than the trainer telling the coach, “He couldn’t go.” Chad Baker-Mazara is from the Dominican Republic. He has played collegiately for Duquesne (Pittsburgh), San Diego State, Northwest Florida State, Auburn (2023-2025) and at USC this season.   He has a history of being rather temperamental on and off the court. The 26-year old Baker-Mazara was listed as a graduate student at Southern Cal.  However, he was drafted in late January by a professional basketball league based in Puerto Rico. Perhaps he’s had enough of those tough grad school courses at age 26 to get that degree. Famed “Bear Trap” snared PGA golfer Shane Lowry in Sunday’s final round The 15th, 16th, and 17th holes at PGA National’s Champion course are well known to professional golfers. Called “The Bear Trap” to honor course designer Jack “The Golden Bear” Nicklaus, this trio of holes is among the most difficult on the PGA Tour.  Add a stiff Florida ocean breeze and carding a par on each of those three holes is considered a big success. The 2019 British Open champion Shane Lowry was atop the leaderboard by two shots coming into the infamous “Bear Trap” holes at the Cognizant Classic in Palm Beach, Florida Sunday. Lowry made a par 3 on the 15th hole to retain his lead. At the par-4 16th hole, Shane Lowry’s tee shot drifted to the right and splashed down into the adjacent lake.  A double bogey six tightened the match and allowed his playing competitors back into the game. The final “Bear Trap” obstacle was the treacherous par-3 17th hole.  With mounting pressure and gusting winds, Shane Lowry’s tee shot again drifted right and sank to the bottom of a lake.  That second consecutive double bogey also sank Lowry’s chances to win the golf tournament. Columbia’s Nico Echavarria held steady and gladly accepted his good fortune to claim a victory and paycheck of more than $1.7 million.  Shane Lowry finished in a tie for second place.  His payday of $726,000 was one million dollars less than he would have received for first place. Ouch! Thought about the weekend NFL Combine – New York Jets coach needs more sleep The woeful New York Jets will have four of the first 44 selections during Round 1 and 2 in late April’s NFL draft in Pittsburgh. Head coach Aaron Glenn finished 4-13 during his first season with the Jets in 2025.  He was in the stands watching the NFL’s annual college player combine over the weekend at Indianapolis. The NFL Combine is where potential pro draft choices showcase their ability to run fast, jump high, and sparkle in a series of drills in front of all 32 teams. The Jets coach apparently was so bored by the proceedings that he was caught briefly napping during the Combine. That’s OK, coach! I tried to watch about 15 minutes of that stuff over the weekend.  It definitely works better than No-Doze in putting you to sleep.  Zzzz. The NFL Combine can serve as a launching point for an athletically-gifted player – especially those coming from the smaller schools.  The combine also reveals weaknesses which might negatively affect your potential NFL draft value, too. Former Arkansas Razorback quarterback Taylen Green is basking in ESPN’s rays of praise Taylen Green was already ESPN’s #7 quarterback heading into the NFL Combine last weekend.  After an impressive showing, he may be moving up some teams’ draft board. Taylen Green ran a speedy 4.36 second 40-yard dash.  Zoom! He established a quarterback record with a 43 ½ inch vertical leap.  Is he playing basketball or football? Green posted a broad jump of 11′ 2”.  Why is that important for a quarterback? Welcome to the unique world of the annual NFL Scouting Combine.    Taylen Green was quarterback for an Arkansas Razorback football team which finished only 2-10 last year.  He passed for 19 touchdowns but also had 11 interceptions.   Taylen Green averaged more than 3.13 seconds from the time he received the snap until making a throw while at the University of Arkansas.  That was 4th slowest among all 136 FBS major college starting quarterbacks last season. He must to trim that statistic by a full half-second in the NFL, or he will be pummeled regularly by speedy on-coming defenders. Taylen Green may go on to have a terrific NFL career.  But, then again…??? Let’s remember a few recent first-round quarterbacks flops after being praised by the ESPN Draft Day hype train! ESPN’s enthusiastic NFL insider Mel “Hyper” Kiper practically drooled when fawning over former first round quarterback Kyler Murray in 2019.  Arizona selected Murray with the first overall pick in that year’s NFL draft. Seven years later, the Arizona Cardinals are desperately trying to trade Kyler Murray away.  He has led the team to just one playoff game over seven seasons and his contract will pay him $40 million this season.  Good luck trying to make any deal, Cardinals! In 2021, the NFL Combine shined the athletic spotlight brightly onto North Dakota State quarterback Trey Lance. He wowed the scouts at the combine with an exceptional ability to run fast, jump high, and leap over tall buildings in a single bound.  (Oops, wrong guy!) The San Francisco 49ers talked themselves into selecting Trey Lance with the 3rd overall selection in the first round of the 2021 draft. Sadly, Lance was a flop in his first three seasons in San Francisco.  He was traded to the Dallas Cowboys in 2024.  Lance was cut loose by the Cowboys after just one year in Big D.  The Los Angeles Chargers signed Lance last season to serve as a back-up to starter Justin Herbert. Don’t forget about 2023’s NFL Combine star quarterback Anthony Richardson Much like Arkansas quarterback Taylen Green, Anthony Richardson became the darling of the NFL Combine in 2023.  Richardson had finally become the starting QB for the Florida Gators in his third year at the school. He made a number of poor decisions behind center that season but was often bailed-out by his uncanny running skills.  The Gators went a pedestrian 6-6, but the team’s quarterback convinced himself that he was ready to play in the NFL. An impressive showing at the 2023 NFL Combine helped to elevate draft hype about Anthony Richardson.  He would vault all the way into the 4th overall selection by the Indianapolis Colts three years ago in 2023. After just three NFL seasons, the Colts are now practically begging someone to take Richardson off their hands right now. Anthony Richardson has started only 15 games in three years.  He has more career interceptions (13) than touchdowns (11).  Richardson suffered concussions in his rookie season from frequently running with the football.  Since then, he has dealt with a myriad of injuries. Anthony Richardson has one season left on his rookie NFL contract which pays him “only” $8.5 million in 2026.  With a relatively affordable price tag, Richardson is likely to be traded to another team willing to give him a second chance. The NFL Draft Combine nearly sunk 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy was the last college football player selected in the 2022 NFL draft. “Mr. Irrelevant” (the sarcastic nickname assigned to the final person selected in each year’s NFL draft) was a very accurate and successful quarterback for three seasons at Iowa State. However, Brock Purdy’s participation in that spring’s NFL Combine produced a pedestrian 4.84 second 40-yard dash and a lackluster 27” vertical leap.  His perceived lack of athleticism caused Brock Purdy to drop further down the draft boards after an underwhelming showing at the NFL Combine. Five years later, “Mr. Irrelevant” is the 49er’s starting quarterback, has played in a Super Bowl and now earns $53 million per year. Moral of the story – Don’t place too much stock in the NFL Combine results when evaluating a future pro football player – especially at the quarterback position! The post Beware! The Worm Moon is upon us! appeared first on SwampSwamiSports.com.

In this powerful episode of Gangland Wire, retired Intelligence Unit detective Gary Jenkins sits down with Tegan Broadwater, a former Fort Worth Police officer, musician, and undercover operative whose story reads like a movie script. Broadwater takes listeners on a riveting journey from his early years as a professional musician to his dramatic turn infiltrating one of America's most dangerous street gangs—the Crips. Drawing from his book Life in the Fishbowl, he details how music, culture, and human connection became unexpected tools for survival and success inside the underworld. Listeners will hear: How Tegan Broadwater transitioned from touring musician to undercover police officer, bringing creativity and adaptability to the streets. The story of his two-year infiltration into the Crips—posing as a South Texas drug dealer with the help of a trusted informant. His insights into gang hierarchy, loyalty, and manipulation, and how understanding culture was key to earning trust. The moral challenges of living undercover—forming friendships with men he would eventually arrest. The emotional impact of a major gang raid that ended with over 50 arrests, and how it changed his outlook on justice and humanity. His decision to donate proceeds from his book to the children of incarcerated parents aims to break the cycle of violence. He continues to share lessons on leadership, empathy, and cultural understanding through his private security firm and new podcast projects.   Broadwater's story isn't just about crime and undercover operations—it's about identity, compassion, and the human cost of violence. This episode offers a rare look at what it means to live behind a mask while still holding onto one's purpose.

This time around on Huskers Happy Hour, we contemplate a finish to the 2025 season without Dylan Raiola. The Blackout was a rousing success…except for not winning the game. After looking a little shaky when being tossed into the fire against Southern Cal, T.J. Lateef takes over at QB against UCLA in a Big 10 After Dark matchup in the Rose Bowl. The players have a mantra for it, but Emmett Johnson's explosion onto the national scene may be the best weapon for helping T.J.' find success. In any case, we have plenty to cover and may have a guest to give a rest from 100% of my voice. So pile in and fire up your comments. What do the Huskers have to do to avoid another LA sweep.

It's time once again to talk Husker football, both a review of last weekend's victory against Northwestern and a preview of the upcoming blackout clash against Southern Cal. And the referees. Some folks will always try to shame you into just accepting and overcoming shoddy zebra quality in the Big 10, but after a decade or more of this, it's pretty obvious it's not coincidence. But we'll chat about it. So pop on in and let's talk about that, the games, Teddy's injury, Maiava vs. the Husker secondary, and anything else you want to bring up in the comments. Huskers Happy Hour - pour your favorite cold one and join us!

Episode 332 of RevolutionZ has Hunter Dunn of Southern Cal 50501 as guest to share insight from his experiences with organizing the massive Southern Cal Unites protest in downtown LA, as part of the nationwide April 5th demonstrations against the Trump Administration. Hunter is a Senior at Pepperdine University and our conversation went beyond reporting April 5th tactics, scale, and mechanics to discuss the many factors shaping youth political engagement. Dunn explained how Gen Z members are pulled toward right wing involvement including talking about how right wing influencers and Trump as well as social media algorithms appeal to Gen Z economic despair at their future prospects and social awkwardness and loneliness, particularly among men even as other Gen Z youth are  shifting toward progressive solidarity.Dunn relays how the loudest cheers at the demonstrations weren't just for opposition to Trump, but for bold proposals like universal healthcare, ranked choice voting, and meaningful climate action. He reports that the events revealed not just a growing resistance but growing positive commitment. Americans aren't merely fighting against something, reports Dunn from his campus, an historically conservative one at that, they're fighting for a fundamentally different future.Dunn provides concrete ways to get involved because, as Dunn reminds us, "this isn't just about stopping one administration - it's about creating a society that works for everyone." Support the show

Today's Rapid Fire topics include: USC/Chad Bowden trolling Notre Dame (again) with a Mike Williams highlight video, should Notre Dame find a way to include both USC and Michigan on future schedules, NCAA basketball tournament expansion, Rich Rodriguez bans Tik Tok dancing at West Virginia, Aaron Rodgers and more. Today's Rapid Fire topics include: * Sean Stires and Vince DeDario start with their thoughts on a social media video produced by Southern Cal that features former Trojan receiver Mike Williams and features 11 highlights of Williams - all of them against Notre Dame. * With the future prospects of USC continuing its series with Notre Dame in mind, what if instead of playing USC every year, Notre Dame would play home and home for two years with USC and then two years with Michigan and then keep alternating it that way every two years going forward. Do you Buy or Sell it? * Notre Dame men's basketball saw its season end in the second round of the ACC Tournament today against North Carolina. Has the needle moved forward in Micah Shrewsberry's first two years? * There's been talk over the last few years about expanding the NCAA basketball tournament. Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark said this week that he's in favor of expanding the field to 76 teams. The NCAA looked at a proposal last year that would expand the tournament by having play-in games for all of the 10 through 12 seeds. Do you Buy or Sell it? * If Aaron Rodgers is choosing between the Steelers and the Giants, what's the choice? * New West Virginia head coach Rich Rodriguez has banned his players from TikTok dancing. Good idea or bad idea? * A Connecticut lawmaker has introduced a bill that would require movie theaters to disclose what time the trailers start before the movie and what time the movie actually starts. Do you Buy or Sell it?

Dr. James Dobson has decades of experience coaching people to overcome fear and doubt, and put their trust in Christ. He relates a fascinating experience he once had when he learned that sometimes our fear is all in our head.It seems that he was preparing to graduate from Southern Cal with a PhD in psychology, and as he got ready at home that day, anticipating the happy drive with his family, a cold fear just came over him. He says now that he felt a growing dread, seemingly out of nowhere, that he would be killed in a car accident on the way. Honestly, this sounds crazy, and it kind of is. Even Dobson admits that. He says today that he realized this fear of death and tragedy that gripped him was obviously not from God, and the obvious source is that of our enemy. In some weird way, he can influence our thoughts.Maybe this happens when we're exhausted or distracted. Maybe these thoughts of failure and terror come from stress. Whatever the circumstances though, they're evil. They have no place in our hearts and minds. James Dobson said that day, he simply got in his car and he led his family to the USC campus where he received his hard-earned degree. Afterward, they had a lovely lunch, and the day remains a great memory for the Dobson family.Mark 5:36 says, “Jesus told him, ‘Don't be afraid. Just believe.'” For Dr. Dobson, this also remains a powerful lesson that oftentimes our greatest fears are not even real. They don't even come to pass. Learn to recognize the real from the imagined.And of course, there are times where our fears are very real. Maybe it's a scary diagnosis from a doctor, or a wayward child just digs himself deeper holes in life. In those times, remembering the source of our fears is really important. When real dangers do crop up, literally speak to the Lord and tell Him you are giving Him this giant problem. Tell Him you can't solve it, but you know He can.Another thing to remember if you determine your fear is legitimate, is seek the care of a good friend. Likewise, if you see someone weighed down with fear, you be that shoulder to lean on. We can determine to help each other. Proverbs 12:25 tells us, “An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up.”One day God will permanently remove our fears. And until then, learn to recognize the difference in real and imagined problems in your life.Let's pray.Father God, your Word tells us that in this world we will have trouble. Problems will challenge us, but you have overcome the world, and that is our ultimate safety net, where evil can't hurt us. In Jesus' name, amen.Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

Chase Robinson and Chris Lee preview and share their predictions for LSU's trip to South Carolina in front of an ESPN Gameday crowd, with kickoff at 12:00PM ET. Topics covered include: Quarterback Garrett Nussmeier threw six touchdowns in last week's 44-21 win over Nicholls. However, the Tigers struggled to run the ball after John Emery's season-ending injury suffered vs. Southern Cal; LSU averaged just 3.0 yards per carry on 21 attempts on Saturday. What's the status of wide receiver Kyren Lacy, who sustained an ankle injury in Saturday's win? The Tigers have a pair of future NFL first-round tackles in Will Campbell and Emery Jones Jr. But the Gamecocks' strength is their pass rush, headlined by freshman Dylan Stewart and Georgia Tech transfer Kyle Kennard, as well as a ball-hawking secondary. South Carolina has largely been unimpressive offensively through two games, but quarterback LaNorris Sellers got better as the game went on vs. Kentucky, and running back Rocket Sanders also made some big plays late on Saturday. Are the Gamecocks poised for statistical improvement soon? LSU's defense hasn't dominated like Tiger defenses of the past, and now, the Tigers are down their best lineman (Jacobian Guilllory) heading into Saturday.

We hear them and react.  * Notre Dame athletic director Pete Bevacqua recently told The Athletic that despite USC head coach Lincoln Riley's recent doubt about the ND-USC series continuing going forward, the Southern Cal administration is “gung ho” about keeping the series going forward. On a scale of 1 to 10, how confident are you that the series will continue? * Southern Cal has a season over/under win total of 7.5. We predict their record for Lincoln Riley's third season.

Chase Robinson and Chris Lee preview LSU vs. USC in their opening game of the 2024 college football season and share their predictions for the matchup at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Topics include: Southern Cal lost quarterback Caleb Williams, but the Trojans turn the reigns over to Miller Moss (who threw for 372 yards and six scores in the Holiday Bowl) and also added a terrific backup in young UNLV dual-threat quarterback Jayden Maiava. The Trojans add Mississippi State transfer Woody Marks and have dynamic playmaker Zachariah Branch in the slot but will need Kyron Hudson and Duce Robinson to step up production. USC has a mostly-new offensive line. LSU must replace Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels, but Garrett Nussmeier looks like a good quarterback in the times we've seen him. The Tigers lost a pair of first-round receivers but still have Kyren Lacy, tight end Mason Taylor and a cast of others. LSU starts a pair of future NFL first-rounders in tackles Will Campbell and Emery Jones Jr. LSU also struggled on defense, but new coordinator Blake Baker has a history of defensive turnarounds with his last stop at Missouri. The Tigers have a star-studded linebacking corps of Harold Perkins, Greg Penn III and hybrid S/LB Major Burns. - But LSU could be lacking its traditional talent in the defensive line and secondary. Southern Cal also needs a defensive improvement, and coach Lincoln Riley hired D'Anton Lyon, who turned around UCLA, with help. The Trojans have a couple of defensive linemen familiar to SEC fans in Bear Alexander (Georgia) and Nate Clifton (Vanderbilt). USC also brings in a largely-new starting defensive backfield with some transfer portal additions. The Trojans should have a special teams edge (where LSU has struggled) thanks to Branch and good returnees at punter and kicker. Our predictions at the end.
