It must be legal Monday. USC has informed a small private school in Utah to stop using “Trojans” and to change its school colors. Utah Southvalley Community Private School calls itself USC, has cardinal and gold as its colors and uses the nickname Trojans.
Who ratted out the small school? Bob Jones, president of the school’s board of trustees, said the school uses Trojans because he traces his history to Priam, king of Troy.
So does Max Nikias.
“you talk about chicken-Sh!t”!!!!
this school stuck with this tainted name thru all the humiliations and disgraceful scandals, and THIS is the thanks they get?? a shiv in the back???
how sweeet would it be, if, after the trOXans get their lunch handed to them as expected, the team changes it’s name to Crimson Tide???

Cheap reptile talk.

Wow! a Cal Poly post where he didn’t talk about himself!
I’m taking a screen shot to remember this!
CowPolyFan3.0 went to San Jose St to get his Masters Degree in Lawn Management.
Billy Jean insult Bucket…..UNNNNNNGGHHHHH!!!
Billy Jean BAD!!!
That may have just been another one of “those” dreams you have had since you were 8, BJ.
If the Utah school changed its name to Troxans would you be happy?
more like rapturous.
I copyrighted that one way back. But I will license it to them.
If they changed their name to the Utah Community Local Academy bruins and wore powder blue and gold no one would care. There are bear cubs in Utah. They are such a small private school that they probably play 7 v. 7 football on an 80 field anyway. #perfectfit #irrelevance
nice. at least SOMEBODY’S thinking around here!!!!

Typical CS bozo u. They steal the initials USC from the Univ. of South Carolina (est. 1809). Then turn around and big time a small Utah HS because they wanna be bozo losers. I’m surprised Swanny hasn’t tried to schedule the Utah team for a future cupcake slaughter.
How can you steal someone’s initials? We have the EXACT SAME INITIALS Einstein.
Sammy Boy your reading comprehension and Arithmetic skills are severely restricted.
See Sammy, the Univ. of So. Carolina was est’d in 1809.
bozo u was est’d in 1885.
Sammy, the Univ. of So. Carolina was USC for 76 years before bozo u. hatched.
Actually So Car folded and reorganized 30 plus years later.. Like Ucla, So Car was funded by big monies to exist.. USC is private monies.. Big daddy don’t loans to stay open..
Squatter, you have had too much Night Train. The University of Southern California was established in 1880. You Cerritos educated rejects need to go back and learn.
Methinks much ado over nothing
Forgetttaabboutit
It always is when bozo u goes Ugly Big Foot.
Let them be. Explain the 75% Chinese USC Engineering graduates during the spring of 1998, the year our eldest son graduated with his Bachelor’s Degree. They were sent to USC from Communist China. Is USC today still playing the damn GLOBALIST GAME ? if so, Shame, Shame, Shame !!!
I pointed that out a couple of years ago. What bozo u uproar. I was labeled a racist for pointing out that bozo u is training the next generation of Chinese Mainland Intelligence Officers.
So suddenly someone at SoCal woke up after hiring a drunk for a coach and promoting the D captain saving his nephew story.
Apparently they are starting by protecting their brand from the threat of a tiny school in Utah.
#oneeyeblind
They better not make my old rivals the Yucca Valley Trojans change their name. It wouldn’t be the same!
That be the same ‘Bob Jones’ that has a university named after him down in South Carolina? When I was going to school in Charleston my first year of college I was made aware of this fine school – they petitioned the South Carolina State Legislature to mount 50 caliber machine guns on the top of the walls that, at that time, surrounded it.
Just saying because the clown claiming blood lineage back to Priam seems cut from the same cloth – 1000% crackpot.
SoCar should move the U ..So Carolina University!
Seriously. SCU sounds good for them.
What about university high school in Irvine? They are nicknamed the Trojans! Should they change their name because of the arrogance of some people. And USC people wonder why they are hated!
USC hated? Nooooooooooooo.
And that is the thing Sam bam. It’s the arrogance of USC! USC alums are some of the most vain people on the planet. They think that because their school used to have a good football team, that they are better then everyone else. just remember the saying about USC “pay a fee, get a degree.”
In all seriousness I didn’t go to USC. My immediate family is all USC, I have cousins that have graduated from UCLA. Personally about 80% of the Bruins fans or graduates that I’ve ever been around or have known are some of the most obnoxious and arrogant people. I really think it’s both ways.
USC and UCLA are both extremely arrogant universities! But I grew up in Newport Beach, and all I ever heard was “it’s great to be a Trojan” “Trojan for life” “everyone wants to be a Trojan.” It’s annoying as hell after a while. UCLA alums don’t have that kind of arrogance, even though they have much more to be proud of as far scholastics, as do Trojan alums.
I can’t speak on every UCLA alum, but my ex girlfriend from high school and my god sister both went to UCLA and even hung out together during their time there, immediately they both became snobs and would bash USC at any chance for no reason. To be fair my ex was already well of and a snob, but like I said its like this on both sides.
Oh yeah, USC epitomizes humble roots and they never say anything negative about their cross town rival.
Like I said it a two way street. Both sides are the same when it comes to pumping their chests.
I’m busting your balls. No one is innocent when it comes smack talk, especially on this board.
Very true.
SW might as well call this the crosstown rivalry blog.
Honestly, I only come here to talk CFB. I rarely comment on anything non-UCLA related and when I do it is usually a benign point of fact.
I’d say the majority come here for the conversation, 90% of SW’S post have nothing to do about USC football. We have to create our own topics.
I definitely don’t come for his insight. You making it out to Dallas for the game?
No, I wish. There were no definite answers from the people who wanted to go so it just didn’t happen. We were gonna head out to the SC game in UTAH, but the tickets were $300 a month ago. I don’t think that game is worth a $300 ticket. We have to settle for a trip down Arizona for that game in October, but that one will be more of a guys trip, not women or children. We talked about going to Arlington, but it never got going.
Tickets should go down the closer you get to kick off.
That’s what we are hearing. That trip may still happen. I’d rather go to Utah.
On a side note, what are your thoughts on hating UCLA versus the good of the conference? I’m honestly struggling with this, my heart wants Bama to smoke you guys, but the brain says if we both win it’s a marquee weekend in Pac-12 history. Could have real playoff implications if it comes down to an 11-2 Pac-12 Champ versus a 11-1 SEC team that didn’t win the division.
I think UCLA can beat Texas A&M. But I have a feeling if they do A&M will still end up playing poorly when it matters in the conference and it may take away from UCLA’S victory. If SC can somehow beat Alabama it would be a statement, but if Bama were to win out from there on I think they would be a playoff team. Our conference hasn’t gotten any love so far from what all I’ve been hearing in the media. No one has predicted a Pac12 team to be part of this year’s playoffs. But if there’s a 2 loss Pac12 champ I think that team deserves a spot. USC and UCLA could make a big impression with wins. One of them has to win this Saturday.
Yeah, my impression has been that most view the Pac-12 as a conference that lacks a truly elite team, but also has real depth. I think a UCLA loss hurts the conference more than an SC loss, but an SC win helps more than a UCLA win. Regardless, if both win I will be tuning into Finebaum the following Monday.
Yeah, I agree with all of that. Our conference has really good depth. Colorado may even get that signature win and WSU looks like they will be tougher than people are predicting. But if both SC and UCLA win Finebaums show will be an all time classic episode. And he’ll just make the callers more angry with his views.
I think Wazzu is for real this year, more so than UW, who IMHO is really being over rated. Looking at the conference I think everyone can beat everyone with the exception of Oregon St and Cal, both should be awful and although Colorado will probably struggle, they will either beat or put a good scare into a few good teams. The 9 conference games really hurt over the course of a season. Both the Big 12 and Big 10 play 9 now, but they also have piles of crap after their 5th best teams.
The SEC has been dodging that 9th game for too long. They say they play a tough conference and that makes up for the 9th game, but that’s just an excuse.
Totally agree. I think the SEC West is pretty tough, but the east has been hot garbage for a few years now. Florida won the division last year without a guy that couldn’t throw a ball more than 5 yards. I wish we had more bowl match ups with those guys.
There should definitely be a bowl between the two conferences. At least one.
Are you going to the A&M game?
I thought about it, but this week was a family vacation and I didn’t think the wife would go for Hawaii to College Station back to NYC with a 6 year old and a 4 year old. So we’re going to drop the kids in L.A. with grandma and go to Vegas for Friday and Sat with my brother and his wife. I figured if I can’t be at my game, go to a place where we can watch all the games.
That sounds like a cool stretch and an awesome weekend.
Yeah, I’m looking forward to it.
Sailor or Sea Kink?

Sam, no wonder I sensed the “goodness” in you… you are not really a trOJan… You need to turn from the darkside… come on Sam do the 8 clap with me! UCLA Fight Fight Fight!
#NotToLateTheresRoomonTheBRUINbandwaganforyou
Or BJ’s for grades.
PATHETIC. Who is paid by SC to wreck this kind of havoc? Or is this just another Faux News “scandal”??
It was a national search firm
More like the NY Slimes/WaPo fake news to make a great private school look bad.
It is one thing to use the initials of your school in a logo, it is another to imitate or insinuate that you are affiliated with a major university with copyrighted logos.
As for those tooting the old South Carolina horn – Stop you look stupid. First South Carolina College was established in 1801 not University of South Carolina as some have tooted. In fact the school (SCC) ceased to exist during the civil war.
However it is a lot like Rancho Cucamonga wearing UCLA uniforms. Nobody cares. But hey the University of California extension campus in Los Angeles likes imitation.
True, that could cut into SoCal revenues BIG TIME especially if they win and SoCal loses 6 games again this year.
#shortsale
The bozo u’s weren’t SUCC in 1885. I believe bozo u started as Los Angeles Methodist Holy Roller U.
The Ca Univ. system has 4 Universities in the top 25 Univ’s of the world.
bozo u didn’t make into the top 75.
Sounds to me like the lawyers at USC gave more attention to this tiny little gnat of a school than they deserved. Why generate attention for them? Nobody cares and nobody would EVER confuse the two.
True, the school in Utah would never hire a drunk to coach.
UNNNGGGHHH….Utah Southvalley…BAD!!!!
wolfman, DUDE, i just read in the world champeen LAT that the ‘Bammy defense is ever FASTER and more FEROCIOUS than LAST SEASON!!! reports are the ‘Bammy radio guey came away “Awed” by the D….

My sister’s husband’s niece knew a guy from work that re-posted a story about South Carolina calling USC Clown College.

Did he at least have teeth?
teeth are optional in those parts.
Must have been the awesome pizza delivery job that most ugly alumni covet for.
take a KNEE, wolfman, i GOT THIS!!!!
this just in…..starter Osa Masina SUSPENDED!! WILL NOT ATTEND ‘BAMMY GAME!! WILL NOT PASS GO!! WILL NOT COLLECT $200!!!
#ThatIsAll
State those obvious reason Sambo.
This seems backwards to me….USC should encourage every High School to wear Cardinal & Gold and change their name to Trojans.
Truthfully, this should be ignored by USC. There is a high school in Long Beach called Long Beach Wilson and they call themselves the Bruins and play the Cal fight song. Ugly had ignored them, but being that they are ugly, the sports and academia world had ignored ugly and Long Beach Wilson because of the curse of powder puff blue and handicap yellow. Besides both have never won anything in football.
In fairness to USC, if you don’t police the use of your trademarks, you can potentially lose your exclusive trademark rights. That’s probably what’s driving this.
