A quiet stretch
No substantive USC conversations in the shows we cover this week. College talk comes from the national shows, so it picks up when USC is in the news. We keep listening, and quiet days stay honestly short in the app too.
Only the USC talk. Every morning.
Everything that isn't USC talk gets cut. Sorry, Illinois, Indiana.
We only play a clip here when we can verify its exact start in your browser. The app has the full slate and plays everything.
