Did USC struggle today?

[PinkShizzle]

Maybe lots of season ticket holders who didn't bother to come to a warmpup game?

I know a few people that made that choice- stayed home or went to watch at a sport's bar.

The biggest deal is that the stadium isn’t on-campus, I’m guessing? That would prevent all the students just walking from their dorms like they do at Iowa and ISU. Big difference, probably.

It's actually super close to campus, within a 10 minute walk. A bit further from the dorms, but not bad at all.

Major cities with all the pro sports options typically struggle with their college team’s attendance.

lots of options for entertainment dollar.

in Iowa you got the state fair, RAGBRAI, and Iowa home games. As far as big broad appealing list, that’s about it.

It’s also been mid 90s and humid in SoCal for the last week.

college that’s close to the beaches…..and extremely hot….the beach is always going to win.
If you’re local to the area you’re more likely to support the sports teams. College and pro.
If you’re a transplant, especially college….youre going to choose anything over college football…at least until the weather cools down

Because all the people who were otherwise interested in USC football went to the beach. Right.

I heard there were 50,000 people on Santa Monica pier on Saturday.

Oh, I get it @MeetTheFerentzes , those were all USC fans. They decided as a group to blowoff the game and go to the pier.

Maybe turn up your sarcasm meter a bit, dude.

(Can the pier fit 50,000 people? Maybe I should have said 75,000.)

They did whatever they wanted on offense. This is supposedly the best overall team Riley has had. They could be very good this season.

At USC? Probably.

They did go 11-3 in 2022 in Riley's first year at USC.

This will, by far, be his best USC team while in the B10.

This will not be better than some of his Oklahoma teams, though.
