Wow. An SC fan admonishing someone else about "haven't earned anything"? If I could think of a team (and fans) who've gotten more acclaim, love and fanfare and doing less to earn it, I'd be surprised.

Well, consider this. USC is in a media fishbowl, in the middle of Los Angeles. It cuts both ways. Surprised?

Winning one Championship (and cheating to do it) and "dominating" a pre-Oregon rise PAC-10 is about as impressive as Vandy going 4-4 in the SEC.

Looks like you missed about 10 of those USC National Championships.

The only teams SC has managed to put together that could hang with the top teams in the SEC were bought and paid for with a brashness and audacity that would make Auburn blush.

Really? Which players did anyone associated with USC buy or pay for?

The fact that so many Trojan fans are so obsessed with LSU that they can't help but stay glued to our board (despite the fact we haven't played in football since crushing the shite out of them in their own house over 25 years ago) is all the evidence needed for how pathetic they are.

TD is a great sports message board. And I'll admit that I've been wondering exactly what the hell makes you people tick ever since I witnessed that LSU vs. USC game in the Coliseum in 84. But you'll recall that famous victory by the Trojans in Tiger Stadium in 1979 and realize that we are even at 1-1. As far as "pathetic" goes, well that's subjective. Forgive me if my feelings aren't hurt.
