In our continuing series celebrating the Bob Boyd era as USC basketball coach, here’s a picture of the Trojans playing Cal in 1976 at the Sports Arena. Norm Kelly (41) is shooting the ball while Bob Trowbridge (55) waits for a rebound.
I mentioned earlier in the week that in 1969 Boyd was the first coach to beat UCLA in Pauley Pavilion and handed the Bruins their first two losses there. But he also almost beat UCLA in 1967 at the Sports Arena. The game was tied with seconds remaining and USC missed a shot to send the game into overtime. UCLA ended up winning in overtime and won the national title that year.
Why don’t these posts show some history on Bob Boyd? Maybe something about his life growing up. How about discussing his philosophy on success and his coaching style? Or maybe give some background on his family life. Instead I am learning about UCLA national championships and losses by USC. Oh, I forgot. SW caters to his trolls more than his USC followers. What a sorry sack of sheet.
“UCLA ended up winning in overtime and won the national title that year”

Cool bruh. U too cool.
I thought this was about “appreciating Bob Boyd”. Instead I read about appreciating a UCLA NC. SW, The Troll Monger.
How about giving us a little something regarding his philosophy on coaching and success? Maybe a little something on his family life outside USC. But the worst beat writer in America would rather cater to his trolls than real USC fans. Pathetic.
the wolfman’s Primary Directive is to INFORM as no one has informed before. the unfortunate reality that simple facts are anathema to trOXans, will not deter the wolfman from BOLDLY delivering his sweeeet scooops!!!
So Let It Be DONE!

U cool bruh.
Boyd’s laser reply when asked about UCLA “I could beat Wooden but what couldn’t beat was Sam Gilbert!”
Someone on here said Boyd was fired after him and his players got pinched for rigging games in Seattle. I check it out and it’s true.
So I guess maybe Boyd didn’t have the credibility to cast accusations about such behavior. He never worked in basketball again. I can understand that, who would take the risk?
SUCLA has won 1 championship since 1975. The last time I checked that covers 40 freaking years.
Talk about ‘Yesterday U.’ No wonder the best of California does not go to SUCLA.
Walnut, Klown U hasn’t ever won NCAA basketball NC.
Remind me Walnut, what former SUCC QB has started a Super Bowl.
Congratulations though, on the Klown U #1 Sand Volleyball team.
