Coliseum Commission to Offer Long-Term Contract

The Coliseum Commission came out of a closed-door meeting this evening and announced that they will extend a new offer to USC within the next 24 hours.

Coliseum General Manager Pat Lynch wouldn't elaborate on any details, but did indicate that the offer was "long term."

Members of the Commission were all smiles as they walked out, but had nothing else substantive to say. Lynch hurried off, presumably to prepare the formal offer to USC.

In an unrelated story, USC shifted the dates of two games next season. An away game at Oregon State will be played on Thursday, September 25 instead of September 27. A home game against Oregon will be played on October 4 instead of November 22. That means USC now has two home games scheduled on the same days as UCLA home games ... making it that much more difficult for the Trojans to play in the Rose Bowl next year.

Hey Adam -- I don't think we're playing 2 games in one day.

correct info is:

The game at Oregon State has been moved to Sept. 25, a Thursday. It originally had been scheduled for Sept. 27.

The home game against Oregon will now be played on Oct. 4, instead of the originally-scheduled Nov. 22.

I can say with no reservation what so ever that Ohio St. is greatful they are playing SC in Sept vs Jan!
I can't help but wonder if the "REAL" reason Loss Miles at bug eater U (lsu) won't take the Michigan job is because someone remeinded him during the interview how it has been many years since the Wolverines won in the Rose Bowl againt SC! He quickly realized that he would no longer be able to dodge Coach Carroll's Mighty Machine known and the TROJANS!!!! His only hope i nteh matter would be while the maze & blue played in Pasadena the Trojans would be playing in the BCS championship game elsewhere!
