Picture Of The Day

USC recently was picked to win the Pac-10 title by the media for the fifth straight year. But that's nothing compared to the Trojans' streak of 18 straight years (1965-82) picked to win the title.
Here's the man responsible for buidling the program, Coach John McKay, in 1961 with quarterback Bill Nelsen (left) and offensive lineman Mike Bundra.

If I remember right, John got off to a rocky start in 1960, and had to beat the bRUINS in 1961 to save his job--we were nat'l champs in 1962 and the rest is history!

That streak can't be right. Stanford was awesome with Plunket in 70 & 71. And we stunk in 71 when I was a freshman!

Scott Wolf has covered USC for the Daily News since 1996. A USC graduate, he covered his first Trojan game in 1984 for the Daily Trojan. Scott is known as the "scourge of the Internet message boards," according to radio host Petros Papadakis. Despite this moniker, there's no truth to the rumor he takes pleasure in antagonizing the "Internet geeks."
