I was quite active at USC in the field of sports broadcast journalism, hosting both television and radio shows, but I wasn’t able to find the time to write for the school’s newspaper, the Daily Trojan. I was initially reluctant to start a blog as I knew they were difficult to maintain and find readership for, but I simply had too much to say not to have one.

While I strove to have an informative and well-researched blog, I also made it a point to be personal and opinionated, as is clear from my well-documented displeasure with the Anaheim Ducks winning the Stanley Cup.

My first stint at blogging ran from April 2007 – August 2007 (listed below as “Dave’s Dime @ Blogspot“), where I eventually put it on hiatus in favor of my NFL Newsletter and college football videos. I picked blogging back up briefly as a change-of-pace to my podcasting in 2008 (listed below as “Dave’s Dime @ Podbean“), and virtually full time in 2009 with AllPac10.com.

Here is my collection of my blog posts pre-AllPac10.
