For the uninitiated, the Trojan Rewind is a show that airs on FSN at 10:30pm on Tuesdays. It is a recap of gameday told by on-field and on-campus cameras. The camera operators happen to be perverts (like us) and are always zeroing in on the hottest co-eds of the crowd. These flashes of brilliance can now be immortalized on the Internet. This is "Girls of the Rewind".

I wasn't aware that any sporting event was beneath Fox Sports, but apparently the cable network sublicensed the USC-Stanford game to Versus, the cable network no one gets. Actually, I get it but have no idea where it is on my satellite system. Would the SEC do this? Or put up with it? If bad conference bowl arrangements are...

The Carolina Panthers drafted a deadly duo from USC. In a Fox Sports article entitled "Ready Rookies" writer Randy Hill makes a case that if started, receiver Jarret and Center Kalil will immediately improve the Panther's offense.
The Panthers strike twice with potential steals out of USC in the second round.
Although stopwatch speed was his draft-day downfall, Jarrett is quicker than the guy he's replacing (Keyshawn Johnson). His hands and size should help the Panthers rise from 19th overall in red-zone efficiency.
Kalil should step in as the starter for an offensive line that helped create a measly seven rushing touchdowns last season.
A new teammate with an old name: Jarret will try for another one-two punch with Veteran receiver Steve Smith (10th receiving in the NFL overall last season). Ryan Kalil should boost the Panther's ground game, as they last ranked 24th in the franchise at rushing yards per game.

Congratulations.
Brynn Cameron, a University of Southern California basketball player, gave birth to a boy, Cole, on Tuesday night in Southern California.
Give the kid a football. And let the grooming of a future USC star QB begin... Cole Leinart, baby.
(Or Cole Cameron, whatever name the kid decides to go with.)

Reggie Bush will make his pro debut this Sunday against the Cleveland Browns.
"I'm pretty relaxed and feel well prepared for this more than I was at that stage when I was a freshman playing my first game at Auburn," Bush said. "I feel more prepared and a lot smarter. I am obviously looking to dominate and be effective and help my team win games."
On HBO's "Costas Now" this week, Bush said he wants to be "what Michael Jordan was to the NBA. I want to be that to the NFL."
