69-0.jpg
There's just something unseemly about turning a 69-0 victory over a beleaguered opponent into a sales opportunity. If Stanford sells T-shirts about beating USC, so be it.
But USC does not tie sales to blowouts over helpless teams. Or wear black socks. Or wear names on uniforms. And yes, I'm well aware of where the proceeds go, which is not the point.
As John Robinson used to tell players who celebrated touchdowns excessively, ``act like you've been there before.''

I went to the website and as far as I can there is a sale and an announcement that USC beat WSU 69-0. Not an actual shirt that has the score printed on it.

Sounds like Wolfeee is just upset, because he will not be able to partake in any profits, to subsidies his "take a picture with opposing school cheerleaders" effort. Fight On!

There is no 69-0 t shirt. Wolf is a completely irresponsible "reporter". Check the facts just a little. This about the 10th time in the last week that he has piped off about something, creating buzz and perpetuating lies, only to have to retract it. We'll see what he does now.
The site basically says "SC won! Bye some stuff for a good cause." I'm not sure I see the wrong in that.
I have and will always agree with Coach Robinson: Act like you've been there before.

Despite this moniker, there's no truth to the rumor he takes pleasure in antagonizing the "Internet geeks."
