Contest Time
A couple weeks ago, I asked the readers for ideas for a contest. About 80 percent were not even ideas, of course, which is typical of the Internet. But there were a couple good ideas. So you can pick: In 25 words or less, you can write, ``Why I love USC,'' or why you don't like USC. Or you can write your favorite USC game memory, also in 25 words or less.
The winner will receive a pair of high-fidelity hearing protection ear plugs from Ear Peace, which are supposed to improve listening for stadium sports events. A valid email must accompany winning entry.
At 1979 USC-ucla game, the pregame has louder than ever. The score at halftime was 35-0 and dead silence from ucla. Heaven.
January 1, 1963 the classic Rose Bowl of ALL TIME!
42-37 USC Wins! Fight On!
I'll submit one for Charlie Bucket.
Why I don't like USC:
Because they have their way with us each fall on the football field and all the women's championships I brag about are actually worthless.
2001 UCLA game - On the way to a 27-0 blanking Matt "I hate USC" Ware stumbles off the field with his arm dangling awkwardly form his shoulder after an unfortunate collision with Sunny Bird.
1974 Notre Dame game, left the Coliseum at halftime to buy liquor, walking back in heard the ROAR! The rest was history & bliss.
2006 against Notre Dame in the Coliseum. Cushing takes ND's feeble onside attempt 42 yards for the touchdown! Best moment I ever experienced in person!

"Typical of the internet..." When you don't like the host.
The year was 2009. Location: Coli. Just finished eating a lemon grass taco from slopespic's stand before I knocked it over and left without paying.
Charlize Bucksh*t was leading her Bruin cheer squad even though the game was in SC's hand. But low and behold sleezy rick new weasel calls a timeout while SC is trying to mercifully end the game.
What's that Bruins? A timeout? BOOM, ROJO 50 YARD TD.... SC JUMPING AND FLEXING...
NEW WEASEL AND CHARLIZE PEEING THEIR PANTS AND FACES..
BOOM ROASTED..
1988. Freshman year. I didn’t even know USC was a football school. Rodney Peete ROCKED the Coliseum against Oklahoma. Hooked ever since.
Jethro: i know several of the Southern Cal readers on here have stated they have daughters who have been or are currently on trOXan women's sports teams...
isn't it misogynistic to say their championships are "worthless"??? i know you are just trying (desperately) to come up with some counter to Bruin dominance on this blog and on the athletic field, but i call foul! on that harshly sexist comment.
No Buckshit... I think Monopoly is just saying you're an idiot.
Tradition. Coliseum. Song Girls. Trojan Marching Band. Tusk. Traveler. Tommy Trojan. Victory Bell. Jeweled Shillelagh. Heisman Trophies. Rose Bowl. Eleven National Championships. Fight On!

screaming; cocky

in awe of Trojans

why i love usc? the answer is simple: Scott Wolf
Tusk!
At Notre Dame. Down three. Clock running out. Leinart runs, stopped. Time expires. Irish take field. But Fumble! Bush Push. Back from the dead. Victory.
This isn't fair. The same guy entered three times, four if you count the one I submitted for him.
For your consideration, a poem:
My First Night With Mono
By NOBS
Moonlight.
The Coliseum grass is wet.
I am too.
Wine coolers and Ritz crackers.
The flame of the candle trembles like my heart.
Rough, his hands, but oh, so gentle.
His fingers tremble as well.
Forbidden desire burns hot.
I am his in every way.
Take me now.
Take me now!
I am complete.
And by the way, "Lawyer John's" entry is 26 words... DISQUALIFIED!
Wow NZERObs, you're hilarious. Nice try JBoy.
USC v. Memphis, 1991. First game I ever saw anywhere, went with my dorm floor. We lost the game but I found my Trojan Family.

2000s SC football at Auburn, Nebraska, Ohio
Fans before game: Not too familiar with SC;
screaming; cocky
Fans afterwards: Shocked; depressed;
in awe of Trojans
N0BS: Your poem moved me.
Thank you...
For being a friend.
For being a lover.
For being gentle.
For being sensitive.
For being YOU!
XXXOOO!
Ahh Charlie Slope Spic. Imitation is flattery, but this will get you no where. I will not even pay you one NeuWeasel Nickel for that poor performance...
Mono, leave me out of this....if you and your camping buddy NUBS want to exchange love poems on wolfman's blog, that's your thing. i don't know why i get dragged into every conspiracy theory around here, ya bunch of kooks.
by the way that NeuNickle will get you a free frozen yogurt in Westwood. (but i wouldn't try to cash it in this weekend)
