Here’s Matt Barkley’s appearance on ESPN today.
Regarding Lane Kiffin, Barkley said, “He seems to stir up a lot of controversy but we love him.”

Lane Kiffin and Matt Barkley are in New York City today on the Pac-10 media tour. It’s interesting USC took a sophomore instead of a senior. Or a junior. But Barkley’s the best known player and might take some attention off Kiffin, who will be asked all the wrong questions.
Tomorrow, the pair head to Bristol, Conn. for the ESPN studios.

Some more details on that Tennessee Titans-Lane Kiffin lawsuit.

The Wiz of Odds passed along this Washington schedule poster, which also features the new Pac-10 logo in the lower right corner. Can’t wait for that official unveiling. So far, USC seems the only school that hasn’t released it.

Unlike the previous two years, USC’s baseball schedule for next season is not easy. USC plays North Carolina, Rice, Georgia and Louisville in nonconference games. Pat Haden could have a decision to make in May.

During today’s Big 12 media day, conference commissioner Don Beebe said he expected Colorado to join the Pac-10 for the 2011 season.

The New Orleans Saints signed offensive tackle Charles Brown, who was a second-round choice in April.

Pat Haden’s legal background is already going to be put to good use with that Titans lawsuit against Lane Kiffin and USC. Let’s see how he handles this in contrast to say, Mike Garrett.

The most asinine thing I’ve seen today was a USC fan website blog that ripped Titans coach Jeff Fisher for his tipped pass that was caught by UCLA tailback Freeman McNeil in the Bruins’ 1980 victory over the Trojans.
Even 30 years later, Fisher’s class is recalled by those at the game as he answered questions from the media and did not duck interviews. But then, USC fan websites have short memories.

The Tennessee Titans sue Lane Kiffin and USC for interfering with the contract of running backs coach Kennedy Pola.
