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.

Looks like you missed the part where this thread was about ESPN hyping teams. I guess they don't have context in lower Alabama?

Judging from the infraction report, at least Reggie Bush, O.J. Mayo, two other student athletes and some tennis chick. LINK

At least one assistant coach was cited as knowing about the violations with regard to Bush and lying about them, which is involvement in the process (the coverup is part of the infraction). And the guys who hired Bush and the other two athletes improperly, and the guy who paid Mayo (as well as the athletic department employee who let the tennis chick use a long distance card to call a foreign country 123 times to the tune of $7,000+) were all representatives of the university's athletic interests. That means they were all associated with USC. And that's just the ones that were proven irrefutably.

I'll take your word that you think so.

Yes, I do recall it. And we are even. But neither of those has ever tempted me to troll SC's message boards like an insecure middle-schooler who feels the need to constantly remind the "cool" kids that he's cool, too.
