USC Morning Buzz: A Throwback Helmet

USC.HELMET

I’ve always opposed the idea of USC wearing an alternate uniform but I’d favor a throwback helmet being worn for a game if it looked like these classic 1962 models, sported by receiver Hal Bedsole in the 1963 Rose Bowl.

Bedsole was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 2012 and is the first USC player to have 200 yards receiving in a single game. He holds USC’s greatest average-per-catch for a career at 20.94 yards (with 30 or more receptions). And “Prince Hal” was a member of the 1962 national champions. I’ll feature another member of this team later today.

  1. Classic idea Scott. Uniform changes are to make your team look fresh and excite recruits lets get some older look that will excite the AARP crowd. The same crowd that cares if the shoes are black and watches Fox news.

    • Layla you should worry about the Crimson Tide now, the dismal ratings for PMSNBC and your lousy president.

        • You mean yourself? How many times were you and your son CowPolyFan3.0 banned yesterday, pottymouth? I counted at least a dozen. I loved it when you spoke about yourself in the third person and claimed you were impartial:

          ” UCLA Bleauz > Ray Reyes • 17 minutes ago

          That WOULD be nice, but I go to other sites, such as weAREsc, for this type of information…. Garry P. usually presents these types of reports without the personal biases that Wolfie tends to include with his blog posts…”

          That was hilarious!

      • Yea, that is what I’m saying. If your going to take that extreme lets just go back to the good old days when the colored boys did not play.

          • Timmy is really Lane Kiffin’s beautiful but bitter wife Layla. She can’t let go of being a failure at USC.

          • True, but Johnson’s Great Society Civil/Voting rights laws PO’s the So. Democrats so much, a majority switched their Party affiliation from Democrat to Republican. The GOP became the new segregationist chicken coop base. Little Ricky-Ticky Nixon, exploited the Republican switch to ooze his way back into Presidential politics, etc, etc, etc.

          • Wrong, the Segregationist Southern Progressive Democrats of J. William Fulbright, George Wallace and Al Gore Sr. instead gave us the modern Democrat Party of Al Gore Jr. and BJ Clinton. You’re inferior public school indoctrination shows once again. Now you racists discriminate against Asians to placate your deluded base.

    • Blame Scottie for this……..he is the one who CONSTANTLY brings up the past……please don’t generalize…..

  2. 99% of us do not need the history lesson. Please report what is relevant regarding the football team

    • Thankfully, great stuff about summer workouts on the ESPNLA blog. Here I get to see old black and white photos and trolls…and World Cup posts…and stuff about old SC coaches…ugh.

  3. That was an interesting game,especially as the fog rolled in…Bedsole was a dominating player,defensive backs had real problems due to his size and speed…thanks again…
