First it was anything Lane Kiffin, then it was three five-star blue chippers de-committing from USC before National Signing Day, and now it’s redshirt sophomore tight end Junior Pomee sporting bracelets for stealing an iPad, iPad Mini and an iPhone 5.

USC’s football season quickly spiraled out of control this year. After beginning the season as the preseason No. 1 and favorite to win the National Championship, the Trojans finished up with a 7-6 record, including a 21-7 loss in the Sun Bowl to Georgia Tech. This did not make some players happy. Details, after the jump.

Saturday means college football, which means you were either out partying and didn’t particularly care, or you were out watching the games and getting hammered, which means you don’t remember what happened. Either way, let’s take a look at the top stories, including some title game drama and an emphatic cap on a Heisman bid.

After last week’s upset loss to Stanford, USC needed to bounce back against Cal yesterday in a big way, not only for their own title hopes, but for quarterback Matt Barkley’s Heisman Trophy hopes as well. Apparently, part of bouncing back includes delivering cheap shots.

USC quarterback Matt Barkley had a rough day yesterday. Not only did Stanford pull of the upset over the Trojans, but Barkley himself had a terrible game, completing just 20 of 41 passes and throwing two interceptions, not to mention getting sacked twice on the final drive and throwing the ball out of bounds on fourth-and-39. It doesn’t get much worse than that.

Lane Kiffin. Meet Bane Kiffin. And Bane Kiffin’s Tumblr. It’s about time someone put that mask on Kiffin, considering his offseason antics. So the intrepid folks over at Bane Kiffin’s tumblr decided to stick the Dark Knight Rises Bane mask on Kiffin’s smarmy mug and have him say a few words.

Who knew Jim Mora was such a comedian? He takes over at UCLA, makes a joke about shootings near USC, and then doesn’t really apologize! Now that’s how you bring a team back to relevance!

Things are bleak in Unhappy Valley (get it?) and getting bleaker. Running back Silas Redd, (former) crown jewel of the Nittany Lions’ offense, has announced his transfer to the USC Trojans. More after the jump.

Kevin Ellison, a former star defensive back at USC and now linebacker for the Spokane Shock of the Arena Football League, set his apartment on fire early Thursday morning…with a “marajuana filled cigar.”

710 ESPN LA has reached an agreement with the New York Jets to broadcast all of the team’s regular-season games during the upcoming 2011 NFL season. Which is weird.
