USC Saturday Night Notes: Trojans In The News

Former USC golfer Sophia Popov, a member of the 2013 NCAA championship team, has a 3-stroke lead at the AIG Women's Open, which is considered a major.

USC defensive tackle Jay Tufele will be represented by Athletes First. Clay Matthews is among the NFL players represented by the agency.

A story in Los Angeles magazine this week recounted how L.A. punk bands in the early 1980's were desperate for venues and recounted a concert at a party at a USC fraternity.

Drummer Lucky Lehrer: "At the end of the party, Roger (Rogerson) got drunk off several free-flowing beer kegs and tried to fight half of the USC football team’s offensive line. They beat the s--- out of him.”

"Apparently, Roger had it coming because Brett (Gurewitz) recalled watching him attack the jocks with a pair of nun-chucks while blackout drunk."

The Boston Red Sox have called up pitcher Robert Stock, a former USC baseball player. Stock was a catcher at USC.
And finally . . . this is not USC related but it is pretty cool:

Wilt Chamberlain was born on this day in 1936. I stumbled upon this clip of him on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1957. He's standing next to Chet Forte, who went on to become the first director of Monday Night Football.
