Listened to part of the game yesterday. Guy is the epitome of the the USC fan still stuck in the 60s/70s. Time to send him into retirement and find something new.
As program overhaul, please include replacing Arblowsgast

biggest homer since "whoa nelly"...arbo is so biased its insane
Well I like Arbo nonetheless, even though I myself am a hopelessly somber fossil, yearning for far...far...FARRRRRR better days. These days of late... are ABOMINABLE.
SMH. IMO, he's supposed to be biased. After all, he's "the voice of the Trojans", not fCLA, ND or even of college football.
If you want a steady dose of the other, listen to Papadorkos. He'll be more than happy to tell you (his skewed opinion of) how terrible USC is.

Pete is getting paid by SC but still says the painful facts
Petros works for the network that broadcasts ucla and the clippers, that's why he's always against SC and the Lakers.
I’d love it if they gave Jordan Moore a chance. He’s great on the basketball games.
I like that Petros calls it like he sees it, but he's truly obnoxious and has a very annoying sounding voice.
He's better than Beth Mowins and her bad Marv Albert impression she does all game. I believe he claimed he didn't get paid that well for the gig anyways.

Arbo is great. He also has an account here, or used to before merger. So be nice.
Agree, Arbo is great. Hope he is here for years to come 
Hard to announce a shnitzshow which is what this season has turned into.
Chick Hearn was the best of telling it like it is when the Lakers tanked.

Arbo is great !!! He is excellent and hope he stays till he wants to retire. Fight On !!!!!
Chick Hearn, if I even slightly recall it right, did game broadcasting for USC Trojans in 1972, when our first game was at Arkansas, and his color man, commenting on one of the Hawg players, named, I believe Dusty Rhodes, and asked Hearn laughingly if he heard of any other Arkansas feature, besides "dusty" that more perfectly described the actual roads of that actual state, and Hearn instantly quipped hilariously... "back!" WHAT amazing and biting wit that man had. Shades of the great John McKay himself. I rolled over in uncontrollable laughter when I heard that one. Don't think the Hawg fans would have appreciated the remark, however, but then THEY weren't listening, were they?
And when we lost, the headline in the Times read Trojans Dream of National Championship Pure Hogwash
Nobody could touch Chick in the humor department either.
WTF Arbo is the best and will be for a long time.
Arbo is okay. My only pet peeve is he skips on information about what's going on in the game. Like not saying touchdown when there's touchdown or not saying first down when there's a first down or talking over kickoffs or punts. It's rather annoying. Other than that I am an Arbo fan. Good guy, great voice, and loves USC.
You’re correct sir. Duly noted. I’m slipping big time. That never would have got past me five years ago.
i shall endeavor to correct these things. thanks for the heads up, and the support from above! I plan, if they let me, to run through 2030, then sail off to baja. and yes, I'm a trojan fan and supporter, but I think i give you a factual, hopefully interesting accounting of the game at hand.
Arbo, you are a legend. You are part of the tradition USC fans can be proud of. You and JJ are a pleasure to listen to.
Pete Arbogast is indeed a huge part of the great USC tradition!!
Plus Pete bleeds Dodger blue!

Pete Arbogast is a fantastic radio announcer for USC Football and is part of the real Trojan tradition. In my book, he’s earned the right to do this for as long as he would like.
By the way, I’ve also learned from stories about him in the LA times over the last few years that he is a fantastic human being as well. If you don’t know what I am talking about do some research.
He is a class act all the way. We’re lucky to have him.
”How do you do?”
Fight On Trojans and BEAT the mild cats!

Besides Tom Kelly who is more synonymous with calling USC games?
OP is out of his mind. I am not the only one here who sometimes turns off the TV audio and listens to the radio.
I do that a lot less these days though. Getting the game and the radio audio to sink up is rough and when the product on the screen is awful, it is hard to get up the enthusiasm to go thru the effort

Sorry, but I take great offense to this. If you ever met Pete, spoke to him, or saw the insane amount of preparation and analysis he does before games, you would NEVER say what you just said! Pete is a great guy and a great Trojan!
I like Arbogast. It's nice to hear an announcer who is also rooting for the same team you are, considering that practically every TV announcer for a USC game is a closet Bruin or at least a USC hater, and their commentary is quite biased against USC.
If we hire the right coach hopefully you get to announce a few National Championship teams between now an then.
I just read this now. How cool would Jake interning with Arbo be? Heir apparent scenario!
Jake for apprentice!
Fight On, Pete and Jake!
Hey, far too easy a mistake for ANYBODY to have made. A long, long time ago. Big deal, mom ami. I have MANY, far too many, such moments myself as I am obviously getting, well, a tad long in the tooth. Or like Keith Jackson said about his retirement -- "I was just getting to be too old a goat." But for old goats like me, it is obviously far easier to just be a fan than an announcer, lol!
BUT -- how long I can even stay a fan of this garbage that now passes for USC football, Lord only knows. I am getting SERIOUSLY apathetic and thinking of like checking out or something, hard as that might be to actually do. But WHAT is there left to root for? And, furthermore, why ANYONE takes all the trouble and STILL treks down to the Coli these days I cannot even imagine. Arizona is homecoming, right? Yikes!
