Kudos to @monteburke for Men of Troy. There's plenty to like in this book about a historic era in college football dominated by @uscfb before transfer portals, NIL and ubiquitous social media.
I had forgotten both that USC was basically in the Top 5 for six or so years in a row, but also that they lost a number of easily winnable games that would have brought more national titles. I hadn't known about the cocaine use during the glory days.
Burke makes an excellent point connecting the Reggie Bush case, which led to USC's demise for more than a decade, to the eventual collapse of the Pac-12. And vacating wins as part of USC's punishment -- while Miami had worse transgressions and ended up with a lighter sentence -- was truly unnecessary.
A great read, especially for Trojan fans. @GrandCentralPub

Female Olympic hockey referees are a rarity – but only one in Italy also holds a full-time job as a firefighter and medic. Meet Samantha Hiller, who is poised to make tough calls during the fortnight of the Games. lakeforestlove.com/post/ice-in-he… #WinterOlympics @iocmedia

I have a new book coming out about the Pete Carroll era at USC which, to me, is among the most fascinating ever in college football. The titles, the "Bush Push, the "game of the century," the inglorious end...it's all in there. Pre-order info here: hachettebookgroup.com/titles/monte-b…
