Traveler Hates Thursdays

Between fonts, logos, and offensive linemen stuck in elevators, and asking for ideas on Twitter, Saman and Will talk about USC football in peak offseason. But first, they cover Bryce Dixon's recent sentencing.

Saman and Will react to last week's news that USC legend Lynn Swann will head up the Trojans' athletic department (spoiler: they aren't thrilled). They also discuss Saturday's Spring Scrimmage/Game thing, the culminating event of Spring Ball.

Saman and Will see the end of the light for USC Spring Football. They also hit on new stats that prove the awesomeness of Trojans wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster, hit on the latest EA Sports/'NCAA Football' development, and more.

Will is off in Colombia so Michael and Alicia from Reign of Troy along with Paolo Uggetti of Annenberg Media come on the pod to save Saman from having to do it by himself. The first twenty minutes or so they talk non-USC news by covering the men's basketball national championship game, the start of baseball season and a little bit of soccer. After that it's all USC talk!

Saman and Will remember late USC president Steven Sample before talking about the Trojans extending basketball coach Andy Enfield and cover the latest in Spring Football. Also, they cover Su'a Cravens idiotic comments on CTE.

Saman and Will are alive from separate bachelor parties in Las Vegas. They return to rehash the brief USC March Madness run and hit on the typically slow spring practices for the Trojans.

Saman and Will are stoked Spring Ball has begun; thusly, they dig into and overreact to all the Day 1 news. Also, they look at the Trojans' odds in the Pac-12 Tournament.

Saman and Will catch up on the combine, preview spring ball, interviews with the USC coaching staff, and bemoan the Trojans' basketball team's current run of form.

Saman and Will catch up on the little USC football news, talk hoops, then spend way too long talking about the Oscars.

With 2015 firmly in the books, Saman and Will decide to take the pained journey of last season once more by recapping the USC Trojans' tumultuous campaign.

Fresh after National Signing Day, more USC news broke: athletic director Pat Haden announced he will retire. Saman and Will go over his Trojans track record and cover coach Clay Helton's first fan Q&A. Bonus: Will gloats about the Broncos' Super Bowl win. NOTE: This was recorded Tuesday night before Pat Haden felt ill on campus Wednesday and was subsequently seen by a doctor. We wish him a speedy recovery.

Saman and Will team up with Michael and Alicia of Reign of Troy to cover every possible angle of USC's surprisingly good National Signing Day haul. Listen to Part 2 at http://reignoftroy.com/category/features/podcast/.

Saman and Will recruit Vice Sports' Mike Piellucci (@mikelikessports) to preview USC's signing day. Plus, the pair react to Kenechi Udeze FINALLY getting hired as the Trojans' defensive line coach, in addition to the latest Bryce Dixon news.

Saman and Will dig the re-hiring of Tommie Robinson, LOVE the addition of Ronnie Bradford to USC (for non-football reasons), ponder about the Trojans' never-ending D-line coach hunt, revel in the adventures of two random coaches, and fiercely debate the Sad Michael Jordan Face.

Saman and Will recount how long it took USC to firm up Clancy Pendergast as defensive coordinator, discuss the other staff changes (including John Baxter's return), hit other Trojan news, and wistfully detail Lane Kiffin's success with Alabama.

Saman and Will relive the horrible Holiday Bowl performance against the Wisconsin Badgers, react to the Trojans hiring Tyson Helton and Neil Callaway, look back at some big moments from USC's 2015 season, and talk "Star Wars: The Force Awakens."

After Christmas, Saman and Will reunite to discuss the Trojans hiring Tee Martin as offensive coordinator, the latest news around the program, and preview USC's Holiday Bowl matchup against the Wisconsin Badgers.

With little Trojan football news to report, Saman and Will recruit the former's best man/lawyer — Alex Safyan — to pore over former head coach Steve Sarkisian's lawsuit he filed last week against USC.

Saman and Will rehash a tire fire of a week for the Trojans, from the Pac-12 title game blowout, to Clay Helton axing assistants, to former coach Steve Sarkisian suing USC. Oh boy.

Saman returns to the U.S. in a post-Clay Helton world, where the USC Trojans have beaten UCLA and are set up for a chance at the Rose Bowl by playing Stanford. He and Will try to wrap their heads around all of it.
