Get To Know Jim Hardy

JIM.HARDY.1942

I recommend everyone read today’s column by my colleague, Mark Whicker, on Jim Hardy, the oldest living Ram. But more important, he also was the quarterback at USC for three years (1942-44) and led the Trojans to two Rose Bowl victories. He is 93 and still drives two hours from his home in La Quinta each week to watch USC practice.

Here is the column. Above, Hardy (27) carries the ball against Montana in 1942.

    • Kick a man while he’s old, Jim is a great man.. and a long time family friend of my father.. Not many were bred like Jim.. USC was better for having him as a player and alum.. Fight On Jim. ✌

    • My parents knew Jim at Fairfax High —- everything I ever heard about the guy was good. First class human being.
