Is Lincoln Riley running out of time at USC? Lance Taylor joins Connor O'Gara for Episode 7 of The Connor O'Gara Show to examine Riley's future, the Trojans' College Football Playoff potential and the enormous pressure surrounding one of college football's most polarizing head coaches. Despite producing elite quarterbacks and winning four Big 12 championships, Lincoln Riley is still searching for his first College Football Playoff victory. Can USC's revamped defense finally help Riley break through? Could the Trojans go 10-2 and earn a spot in the expanded 12-team playoff, or will another disappointing season force USC to confront Riley's massive buyout? Connor and Lance also reveal the national championship teams they rooted against the hardest, including the 2013 Florida State Seminoles, the Cam Newton-led 2010 Auburn Tigers, the controversial 2023 Michigan Wolverines and the 2002 Ohio State Buckeyes. Plus, Connor makes a bold Michigan prediction that would create a nightmare scenario for Ryan Day and Ohio State, while the guys dream up potential playoff matchups involving Alabama, Oregon, USC, Oklahoma, Michigan, Utah, Texas and Texas Tech. Also in this episode: • Lance Taylor's massive Los Angeles Rams collection • Connor's infamous SEC Media Days shaving mishap • Why Lincoln Riley's defenses have held him back • Gary Patterson's potential impact at USC • College football's biggest championship villains • Michigan's sign-stealing controversy • The most pretentious fan base in sports • Bold College Football Playoff predictions Like the video, leave your least-favorite national champion in the comments and subscribe to The Next Round YouTube channel for more college football analysis, SEC coverage, predictions, interviews and episodes of The Connor O'Gara Show.

The year 1970 stands as a monumental chapter in the annals of American football, encapsulating a series of transformative events that irrevocably altered the landscape of the sport. This episode meticulously examines these pivotal shifts, particularly highlighting the remarkable resurgence of George Blanda, a quarterback whose age-defying performance at the age of 43 not only astonished fans but also earned him the prestigious title of Male Athlete of the Year. Furthermore, we delve into the inception of Monday Night Football, a groundbreaking television phenomenon that commenced on September 18, 1970, captivating audiences and setting the stage for a new era in sports broadcasting. Alongside these narratives, we explore the profound impacts of desegregation in college football, exemplified by USC's historic victory over Alabama, which significantly influenced the dynamics of Southern football. As we traverse through these compelling stories, we invite our audience to reflect on the enduring legacy of the 1970 season, a year that truly changed the course of football history.Don't forget to check out and subscribe to the Pigskin Dispatch YouTube channel for additional content and the regular Football History Minute Shorts.Miss our football by the day of the year podcasts, well, don't, because they can still be found at the Pigskin Dispatch website.

The 1970 American football season is a pivotal chapter in the history of the sport, characterized by transcendent achievements and transformative changes that reverberate through the annals of football lore. The advent of Monday Night Football on September 18, 1970, represented a seismic shift in how the game was consumed by the public. This inaugural broadcast, featuring the New York Jets and the Cleveland Browns, was not merely a sporting event; it was a cultural milestone that bridged the gap between entertainment and athletics. With Keith Jackson at the helm of commentary, accompanied by the distinctive voices of Dandy Don Meredith and Howard Cosell, the game introduced a new paradigm of sports broadcasting that emphasized personality, analysis, and fan engagement—elements that are now essential to the viewing experience. Central to the narrative of this season is George Blanda, whose remarkable resilience defied the conventions of age and performance in professional sports. At 43 years of age, Blanda's unexpected return to the field as an emergency quarterback for the Oakland Raiders culminated in a series of thrilling performances that not only secured victories but also etched his name in the record books as the Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year—the first football player to receive this honor. His journey serves as a poignant reminder of the indomitable human spirit and the capacity for excellence irrespective of age, challenging preconceived notions about longevity in professional athletics. Equally significant were the developments within college football, where the 1970 season bore witness to a watershed moment in the integration of the sport. The USC versus Alabama game became emblematic of the social changes sweeping across the nation, as the Trojans' resounding victory catalyzed a shift towards desegregation in collegiate athletics. Concurrently, Nebraska's ascendance to national prominence, culminating in their first consensus national championship, exemplified the evolving competitive landscape of college football. The confluence of these narratives—the innovation of Monday Night Football, Blanda's legendary performances, and the pivotal college games—collectively delineate a season that not only redefined the sport but also left an indelible mark on American culture, setting the stage for the future of football.

The USC Trojans currently do not have a quarterback in their 2027 class. That could change as they evaluate through the fall, but they could also choose to pass on the position this cycle and go all in on a very deep and talented 2028 class. One of those talented QBs is SoCal prospect Josiah Boyd. He just scheduled a game day visit with the Trojans, and an offer from Lincoln Riley could change everything in his recruitment.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and RJ Abeytia are back in studio talking about head coach Lincoln Riley, quarterback Jayden Maiava and defensive linemen Jide Abasiri and Alex VanSumeren representing USC at Big Ten Media Days in Chicago. Both of our hosts had planned on being at the Chicago Hilton, but after 9 hours of delays at LAX their flight was cancelled and they were denied the opportunity to attend the event in person (and partake in deep-dish pizza in the Windy City).The guys talk about what Riley had to say including the tremendous momentum the team has built up over the off-season and the future of the Notre Dame Game. The players talked about a variety of topics including the impact new defensive coordinator Gary Patterson has made during his time on campus.Both Ryan and RJ continue their countdown of the most important Trojans for the 2026 season, starting where they left off at No. 7 with the aforementioned Jide Abasiri. They also discuss the newly released fall camp schedule with a couple of opportunities for the media to observe full practices and tour the brand new Bloom Center.Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!Make sure you check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠USCFootball.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for complete coverage of this USC Trojan football team.

The 2026 college football season will be an enormous one for Lincoln Riley and the USC Trojans, and their showdown with Ryan Day and the Ohio State Buckeyes in the Coliseum on Halloween will go a long way toward determining whether the Trojans can earn a spot in the College Football Playoff. In this special bonus episode, you'll hear directly from Riley about his personal history against Ohio State and the historic rivalry between the Buckeyes and Trojans, and whether this could be the start of a rekindled rivalry. Plus, you'll hear his thoughts about a 24-team College Football Playoff, what it will take to get USC over the hump and into the CFP, and why he's so openly confident about his team this year.

Big Ten Media Days still have two days to go, but it's a wrap for the USC Trojans. Lincoln Riley and his 3 players, QB Jayden Maiava, DL Alex VanSumeren, and DL Jide Abasiri, all had a glowing day, and you can see in real time the national narrative begin to shift.

The 2029 class feels sooooo far away, but one of the best prospects in the country is Sierra Canyon defensive lineman Stephan Harrison.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and RJ Abeytia are back in studio talking about the latest Trojan football team outreach to fans, hosting the USC Beach Day Wednesday morning in Hermosa Beach. Ryan was down there on the sand in his hometown to check out the Trojans going through a light workout in the sand followed by a series of competitive dodgeball games that were a part of USC's "Competition Wednesdays." Afterwards dozens of fans intermingled on the beach with the football players, taking photos, getting autographs and having a few laughs with the guys.Both Ryan and RJ continue their countdown of the most important Trojans for the 2026 season, revealing the players from No. 16 (wide receiver Terrell Anderson) to No. 8 (wide receiver Tanook Hines). They also share which players they picked to be slotted in those spots as the countdown crawls towards No. 1.The guys also give their thoughts on the disturbing news regarding USC doner Brian Kennedy and his lawsuit against the school over the removal of the practice field that bore his name.Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!Make sure you check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠USCFootball.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for complete coverage of this USC Trojan football team.

The USC Trojans will have plenty of talented options to choose from at the defensive back position in the 2028 class. One of those players is Mater Dei safety Ace Leutele.

One of the most talented defensive backs in the 2028 class is Santa Margarita prospect Ca'Ron Williams.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and RJ Abeytia are back in studio discussing the recent announcement of USC athletics extending its partnership with megabrand NIKE for 10 more years, taking the relationship that started in the 1990's into its fifth decade. The new deal will put Trojan student athletes on NIKE's NIL roster, the school's brand new Bloom Football Performance Center will feature Nike strength equipment, the men's and women's basketball teams will get annual custom uniforms and NIKE promises to "refresh" and "reimagining" of the USC campus bookstore.The guys then take a look at USCFootball.com's top-30 most important Trojans heading into the 2026 college football season, with our countdown already down to No. 17 (Michigan State defensive lineman transfer Alex VanSumeren). We started releasing the last last week with our first five out (that included big man Jamaal Jarrett who scored that epic touchdown last season) followed by No. 30 freshman wide receiver Trent Mosley.Ryan and RJ compare what has been released of the complied list with what they submitted on their personal lists and talk about why they feel these players will play a critical role in the team's success this season.Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!Make sure you check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠USCFootball.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for complete coverage of this USC Trojan football team.

One of my favorite episodes we have ever recorded with Head Coach of the Arkansas Little Rock Trojans, Chris Curry. Coach Curry gives us some great stories from his playing career as well as tapping in to the monster he is building in Little Rock

We are in that brief summertime window where college athletics have gone on vacation. The men’s and women’s College World Series ended last month.  Football season begins again in late August. I have been reflecting on the ever-changing landscape of college athletics. Even just twenty years ago, the major college sports conferences looked a whole lot different than they do today.  Schools have been shifting to new conference locations primarily to maximize revenues. A few have switched conferences primarily to reduce expenses (I’m looking at you, Louisiana Tech!) The question remains as to whether the recent decades of musical chairs has resulted in improvements for college athletic fans and athletes?  Or have these changes primarily benefited the wallets of major universities and the media companies who quietly wink and nod after bigger TV markets have been added to the portfolios of the largest conferences. Let’s jump into the Wayback machine today and return 20 years to 2006.  We will take a look at each major college athletic conference as it was in 2006 and how it is structured today in 2026. Have these additions been for the better or worse for each conference? Today, let’s examine the top four (by money) major football conferences.  We will review the group of “mid-major” conferences in my next report. Southeastern Conference (SEC) New teams:  Missouri and Texas A&M (2011); Oklahoma and Texas (2024).  Interestingly, each of those four teams moved from the Big 12 Conference to the SEC. Analysis by Team: Missouri – has been a geographic misfit in the SEC from Day 1.  The Tigers have not competed at a high level in most sports nor do they have a lot of trophies to show for the past 15 years in the SEC.  Grade: D Texas A&M – made a lot of sense coming to the SEC in 2011.  The Aggies needed to move along from its constant obsession about being compared to intrastate foe “Texas University”.  SEC leaders were able to snag the huge Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth TV markets.  A&M has proven it “belongs” in the SEC over its 15 years in the league by earning several league titles and staying relevant annually.  Grade: B Oklahoma – The Sooners played in the College Football playoffs last year and just claimed the men’s College World Series title in June.  OU’s long history of athletic success has already been felt around the SEC.  Grade: B+ Texas – The Longhorns are annually contending for the College Football Playoffs in recent seasons.  Texas also brought the growing San Antonio and Austin TV markets into the SEC.  The Longhorns have quickly become top SEC competitors in basketball, baseball, and other sports.  Grade: B+ SEC overall grade for expansion: B Big Ten Conference (Big Ten) New teams: Nebraska (2011); Maryland and Rutgers (2014); Oregon, UCLA, USC, and Washington (2024). It took a long time for the stodgy Big Ten Conference to finally invite Penn State to become its 11th team in 1990.  Since that time, the poorly named Big Ten has grown to 18 schools today.  The league picked-up several large TV markets in New York City and Philadelphia (Rutgers), Washington DC/Baltimore (Maryland), Los Angeles (UCLA and USC), and Seattle (Washington).  Those new schools have produced relatively little in terms of sports titles for the conference, though.  Analysis by Team:  Nebraska – The Cornhuskers left the comfy confines of the Big 12 Conference in 2011 and quickly saw their national stature in sports take a beating in the Big Ten.  Despite lofty expectations, Nebraska has been a disappointment.  Grade: D Maryland – Ditto.  Just substitute “ACC” for “Big 12”.  Grade: D Rutgers – Rutgers was lousy at most major sports prior to joining the Big Ten.  They were added to the Big Ten simply to attract television viewers from the New York City and Philly TV markets.  Athletically speaking, Rutgers has been a Big Ten bust.  Grade: F Oregon – The Big Ten’s raid of the former Pac-12 snagged one of the nation’s top football teams in Oregon.  The Ducks have given the Big Ten a much needed bolt of energy.  However, I can’t give a top grade to Oregon when its athletes must travel thousands of miles just to participate in Big Ten events.  Grade: C+ UCLA – The Bruins’ women’s basketball and softball teams have been been excellent.  However, the men’s sports programs haven’t made much of a dent in the Big Ten yet.  Grade: C USC – There were lofty expectations for the Trojans’ football team.  They have under-performed.  Like UCLA, USC has not been a difference maker in the Big Ten.  Grade: C- Washington – The Huskies’ football team has regressed the past two years with a 14-11 overall mark.  Washington’s other sports teams have been nearly invisible in the 18-team Big Ten Conference.  This is yet another school spending a ton of money on jet fuel.  They are forcing student/athletes to travel across the country to play in athletic events just to grab more money from television.  Grade: D- Big Ten overall grade for expansion: D- Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) New teams: Pitt and Syracuse (2013), Louisville (2014), SMU, Stanford, and Syracuse (2024) Exiting team: Maryland (2014) to Big Ten *Notre Dame:  The Irish joined the ACC in 2013 but remained independent in football.  The current 17-team Atlantic Coast Conference has, by far, the worst geographic fit of any major college conference in America.  Twenty years ago, the ACC’s 13 teams (Maryland has since left) were located along the Atlantic coast.  Adding SMU (Texas) and West coast entries Cal and Stanford in 2024 has been one of the most puzzling decisions in recent years.  Analysis by Team: Louisville – This school (since 2013) has been surprisingly competitive in football but surprisingly non-competitive in men’s basketball recently.  Overall, the Cardinals have been a solid addition to the ACC.  Grade: B+ Syracuse – The Orange (coming aboard in 2013) has produced just four winning seasons in football after 13 years in the ACC.  Some early ACC basketball success has faded in recent years.  Grade: C- Pittsburgh – Pitt (which arrived in 2014) had a good run in football a few years ago with Kenny Pickett running the offense.  Otherwise, their addition to the ACC has been “OK” at best.  Grade: C- Cal (Berkeley) and Stanford – these two Pacific Coast schools (added in 2024) have brought zero titles to the ACC since joining the league.  They remain a waste of jet fuel.  Grades for both schools: F SMU – The Mustangs effectively bought their slot in the ACC in 2024 with the help of their wealthy financial backers.  SMU made it into the 2025 College Football Playoffs but hasn’t been a factor in other sports.  Grade: D+ *Notre Dame – The Irish baseball team made it into the College World Series in 2022.  Notre Dame’s financially prudent but quite selfish decision not to participate in football in the ACC comes with a marked-down score. Grade: D ACC overall grade for expansion: D Big 12 Conference (Big 12): Only seven of the Big 12 Conference members remain from 2006.  Within that group, Colorado left the Big 12 for the Pac-12 in 2011 but returned in 2024. Analysis by Team: Arizona – The Wildcats came to the Big 12 in 2024 as a refugee from the dying Pac-12 Conference.  Arizona went 9-4 in football last season.  It’s too early to give the Cats a good grade.  Grade: C Arizona State – Same story as Arizona.  Grade: C BYU – The Cougars came into the Big 12 in 2023.  They have rolled-off 11-2 and 12-2 football records in 2024 and 2025.  The BYU basketball team has appeared in the NCAA tourney in all three seasons after joining the Big 12.  Despite its geographic distance from other longtime Big 12 members, Brigham Young has been a positive addition to its new conference.  Grade: B+ Cincinnati – They entered the Big 12 in 2023.  The Bearcats haven’t been a major sports factor in their three years in the conference.  Cincy has been a good geographic fit for the Big 12, but a sports dud.  Grade: D- Houston – The Cougars also came into the league in 2023 along with the valuable Houston television market.  The Coogs have been competitive in football and a regular national championship contender in men’s basketball.  U of H has been a solid addition to the Big 12.  Grade: B TCU – Texas Christian joined the Big 12 in 2012.  In addition to bringing the Dallas-Fort Worth TV market into the league, the 2022 Horned Frogs’ football team played in the national championship game (and lost).  TCU’s other athletic programs have been regular contenders in the Big 12.  Grade: A- UCF – Central Florida (added 2023) hasn’t posted a winning season in football in three years in the Big 12.  The other sports teams haven’t been very competitive, either.  This school was added primarily due to its enormous size (70,000 students) and the Orlando television market.  Despite those pluses, the school is 1,000 miles east of Houston (the nearest Big 12 city).  This addition has been puzzling since Day 1.  Grade: F Utah – The Utes football team finished 11-2 in 2025 (the school’s second year as part of the Big 12).  Utah’s sports programs are generally quite competitive and bring enthusiastic fans.  Grade: B- West Virginia – Mountaineers entered the Big 12 back in 2012.  In the past 14 years, West Virginia has posted a winning football record 50% of the time.  Like Utah, this is a school with passionate sports fans who have been a plus for the Big 12.  Grade: B- Big 12 overall grade for expansion: C+ Conclusion – SEC, Big Ten, ACC, and Big 12 conferences After the questionable addition of Missouri in 2011, the SEC’s expansion to add both Oklahoma and Texas in 2024 has made their conference a bit stronger.  OU and Texas jumped from the Big 12 to the SEC in 2024 after huge piles of money were being pushed in their direction to incentivize the move.  It still saddens me that these two long-time anchor tenants of the Big 12 Conference aren’t around any longer. Speaking of the Big 12, let’s give that conference credit for adding several new schools within relatively proximity of the league’s Midwestern stalwarts.  However, the addition of UCF (Central Florida) made absolutely no sense in 2023.  It is still puzzling today. Both the Big Ten and ACC moved to add schools located west of the Mississippi River in recent years.  The Big Ten’s addition of four former Pac-12 universities still feels odd.  Meanwhile, Cal and Stanford have brought zero value to the ACC. Instead of buying their way into the ACC, SMU should have remained patient.  The Mustangs could have bought their way into the Big 12 at some point and be competing with nearby TCU and other regional rivals instead of jetting their athletes up and down the Atlantic seaboard. All in all, expansion has generally served to water-down the four major college conferences – at least on the playing field.  The recent moves have all centered on universities pocketing more money from television and media companies. Let’s examine the American, Conference USA, Mid-American, Mountain West, and Sun Belt conferences during our next visit!

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham, RJ Abeytia and India Otto are back in studio projecting which Trojan football players will step up and settle into leadership roles this coming season. The Trojans are in a win-now situation, with a playoffs or bust mindset in year five of the Lincoln Riley era, and will need a handful of players to take control of the locker room and lead their teammates out onto the battlefield every Saturday this fall. Jayden Maiava is back for his third season as a USC quarterback and his second full run as the starter. Maiava isn't a stand on the table type of player, delivering powerful speeches at critical moments, but he has grown as a leader and earned the respect of his teammates on both sides of the ball. The crew talks about what steps Maiava needs to take as a leader to help this team make the College Football Playoffs for the first time in program history. They also discuss some of the other players they expect to step up into leadership roles, from both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball.Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!Make sure you check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠USCFootball.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for complete coverage of this USC Trojan football team.

The Fall of Patroclus and the Killing Machine. Guest: Professor Emily Wilson. The turning point of the epic occurs when Patroclus enters the battle wearing Achilles' armor to deceive the Trojans and save the Greek ships. Ignoring Achilles' warning to return quickly, Patroclus is driven by a desire for honor and continues his assault until he is stripped of his armor by Apollo and killed by Hector. This loss transforms Achilles into a terrifying "killing machine" who returns to the field for vengeance. Before re-entering the fray, his mother Thetis secures new magical armor from Hephaestus, the "tech god" of fire who works with robotic assistants. Achilles' subsequent rampage is so brutal that he violates human norms by killing unarmed suppliants and clogging the river Xanthus with so many corpses that the river god himself rises in protest. The narrative reaches its climax as Hector faces Achilles alone outside the city walls. The poem suggests that without proper burial, a spirit or psyche is doomed to wander, as seen when the spirit of Patroclus visits Achilles to plead for his funeral rites. 71890

Mortality and the RAGE OF ACHILLES. Guest: Professor Emily Wilson. The conclusion of the Iliad explores the resolution of Achilles' rage following the death of Hector. Initially, Achilles attempts to prolong Hector's humiliation by dragging his body behind a chariot and refusing to allow a proper burial. However, the funeral games for Patroclus mark a shift toward maturity, as Achilles provides a space for competition that does not end in death. He even shows a degree of grace—or perhaps a subtle insult—by awarding Agamemnon a prize without a contest. The poem finishes with a humanitarian pause that allows the Trojans to bury Hector, bookending the story with funerals. The final voices are those of mourning women, emphasizing the shared human experience of grief and the inevitable suffering that follows war. Wilson concludes that the Iliad is fundamentally about the struggle to accept mortality, a theme that has provided comfort and insight to readers for over 2,700 years. 8

The Homeric Question and Epic Tradition. Guest: Professor Emily Wilson. The identity of Homer remains a subject of intense scholarly debate, as the Iliad emerged from a long oral tradition that existed before the return of literacy to Greece in the 8th century BCE. For centuries, performing poets developed stories of heroes like Achilles and Agamemnon, using dactylic hexameter to aid memory and performance. The Iliad is a monumental written poem that takes a sophisticated approach to these familiar tales, often subverting expectations. Interestingly, it omits many "famous hits" like the Trojan Horse, the judgment of Paris, and the actual fall of Troy. Instead, it focuses on a mere month and a half of the ten-year war, centering on internal Greek conflict rather than just a battle against Trojans. Wilson notes that while she translates the work into iambic pentameter to capture its drive, the poem itself possesses the narrative complexity of a modern novel, utilizing techniques like shifting perspectives and narrator omniscience. She also mentions lost epic poems like the Cypria, which provided more backstory on Zeus's plan to reduce the human population through war. 2

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and RJ Abeytia are back in studio talking about general manager Chad Bowden's impact on USC's high school recruiting efforts. The Trojans signed the No. 1 recruiting class in 2026 and currently has the No. 14 ranked group for 2027. The guys talk about this shift in focus to high school prospects over the portal and what a recent report from The Athletic had to say about the state of recruiting in Southern California. USC football kicks off in just over two months so Ryan and RJ talk about what their realistic expectations are for this team. Lincoln Riley says that the Trojans championship window is open, so making the playoffs for the very first time has to be on the table. The guys also give their thoughts on the NCAA's new 5-for-5 eligibility rule and how that could impact this Trojan squad and future roster building for USC. Last week three-star defensive tackle Malik Brooks announced that he would not be joining his fellow classmates at USC this fall, instead he will be enrolling at Southwest College to play junior college ball. The guys talk about the 350-pounder's decision to delay enrollment and how his choice could be impacted by the aforementioned 5 for 5 eligibility rule.Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!Make sure you check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠USCFootball.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for complete coverage of this USC Trojan football team.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham, RJ Abeytia and intern India Otto are back in studio discussing a few different USC football topics, starting with a look back at the Pete Carroll era, updates from the latest high school football camps held on campus and looking at a potential breakout player for the Trojans in 2026.First up, Ryan gives his review of "Men of Troy" by Monte Burke, a non-fiction book chronicling the rise, reign, and fall of Pete Carroll's USC Trojans football dynasty in the 2000s. Burke goes into that powerhouse Carroll build that brought Heisman Trophies and NCAA Championships to Troy, the celebrity culture around the program, the eventual scandal that helped derail the team. He shares lots of good nuggets in the book with extensive interviews, bringing back both great and painful memories for USC football fans.RJ was on campus last week, watching USC's invite-only high school football camp. It was a chance to see the coaches working close up with players and we realized it was a sign of the changing times. Whereas team camps were meant to be evaluations of player potential, now they serve as a two-way street for players and coaches to judge how they work with one another in a practice environment. We got to see Gary Patterson, Skyler Jones and Shaun Nua all work for extended time with top recruits and it gave us a glimpse into how they work with the current Trojans. The crew also discusses Ryan's interview with Owen Hanson, the "Cocaine Quarterback," give an update on the Bloom Center progress and the potential for defensive lineman Floyd Boucard to be a breakout player this season.

The Dedeaux Download Podcast returns with Shotgun Spratling and podcast co-host Kasey Kazliner breaking down USC baseball's unreal run through the loser's bracket in the College Station Regional, winning four games in a row to be able to take the title and advance to the program's first super regional since 2005. At the end of the show, the podcasting duo also previews this weekend's Chapel Hill Super Regional where USC is two wins away from a trip to the College World Series in Omaha.But in between, special guest USC freshman outfielder Walter Urbon joins the show to talk about the wild weekend in Texas where the Trojans dropped their NCAA tournament opener in heartbreaking fashion to Texas State only to have that light a bonfire under the Trojans. USC's offense caught absolute fire, scoring 55 runs in four blowout wins to take home the regional."It kind of felt like we were playing and scoring and I didn't even know who we were playing against," Urbon says. "We just went and scored runs and beat them."Urbon also discusses the atmosphere in Blue Bell Park where the home-standing Texas A&M fans didn't have much to cheer about the final two nights of the regional as the Trojans thumped the Aggies twice, including how USC knew they were going to take care of business once it forced the winner-take-all Game 7"After we did that that [Sunday] night with their fans there, we had zero doubt," Urbon says. "We were totally going to win. We just fed off the energy."Urbon also discusses his journey this season from the unfamiliar territory of not playing every day to getting his chance because of an injury and then running with it and never looking back. The Los Angeles native also discusses his defense and how an activity like the Brazilian dance fighting exercise capoeira helps him stay grounded and athletic.Prior to Urbon's appearance, Shotgun and Kasey break down the regional win and what it means for the Trojans as they note three positives, including a full roster of players stepping up and quieting some of their critics. They also look at the loss of pitching coach Sean Allen after he was named the next head coach at Lamar...three days after the Trojans eliminated Lamar from the NCAA tournament.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham, RJ Abeytia and intern India Otto are back in studio taking a look at which Trojan football players have the most to prove in 2026. Head coach Lincoln Riley brings 15 starters back and has a new-look defense with Gary Patterson calling the shots on that side of the ball, but to make that elusive run at the College Football Players there are guys on the roster that will need to turn their potential into production.On the offensive side USC brings back a lot of proven production, from quarterback Jayden Maiava to the entire starting offensive line and a pair of talented tailbacks in Waymond Jordan and King Miller. The biggest question mark will be with the pass catchers and which wide receivers and tight ends can step up and become active targets for Maiava to get the ball too.The Trojans have the most to prove on the defensive side of the ball, especially in the front-seven where the pash rush and run stopping were underwhelming last season. Linebacker Desman Stephens looks the part, but can he step up and be an All-Conference type of performer for the Trojans? Defensive end Kameryn Crawford is another guy with talent to spare, but can he put up double-digit sack numbers this season?The crew also has updates on how the USC baseball team did in the regionals plus off-season updates for the men's and women's basketball teams.Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!Make sure you check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠USCFootball.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for complete coverage of this USC Trojan football team.

The Dedeaux Download Podcast returns with Shotgun Spratling and podcast co-host Kasey Kazliner breaking down the news that USC baseball is back in the NCAA tournament for the second straight year after the Trojans were selected as an at-large team in the College Station Regional in Texas. USC head coach Andy Stankiewicz joins the show to talk about the Trojans making it to back-to-back regionals for the first time since 2001-2002, his reaction to not being a regional host despite a No. 9 RPI as well as what the Trojans have to do better to take the next step and make it to a super regional after being in a regional final last year. Stankiewicz also discusses how the Trojan coaching staff will try to use its Texas connections to prepare scouting reports and mentions the possibility of potentially 'pitching off' and saving Big Ten Pitcher of the Year Mason Edwards for a potential 1-0 matchup with host Texas A&M. After a break, Shotgun and Kasey discuss the progression of the USC program making back-to-back regionals after only one in the previous two decades and take a look back at the action from the Big Ten Tournament where the Trojans went 1-1, losing a heartbreaking walk-off to rival UCLA in the tournament semifinals. They note three positives, including Augie Lopez's potential re-emergence and showing they are capable of beating the best teams in the nation. They also look at USC's struggles leaving men on base and some defensive struggles. The podcasting duo close out the show previewing each of the teams that will also be in the College Station Regional alongside USC with host Texas A&M, No. 3-seed Texas State and four-seed Lamar, breaking down the potential starting pitchers the Trojans could face in the first two matchups.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and RJ Abeytia are back in studio taking a look at the challenging 2026 USC football schedule to see what it will take for this Trojan squad to make the College Football Playoffs for the very first time. Head coach Lincoln Riley is confident he has the right team in place to make a championship run, and we take a high-level look at the schedule with notes on each of USC's opponents. With the Fighting Irish absent, the path to the playoffs should be easier, but USC is still facing off against three of the projected top-5 teams in the country and will need to win at least one of those games to make the postseason tournament. Defending national champion Indiana will be a tough road test and uber-talented Oregon and Ohio State both visit the Coliseum. If the Trojans can come out on top of at least one of the big three and then take care of business in the rest of the games, a berth in the playoffs would be almost guaranteed. The guys also talk about information on USC football tickets for the 2026 season, the news coming out of SEC spring meetings including the standoff with the Big Ten on expanding the college football playoffs plus listener questions.
