Which USC Is Real--the Rose Bowl Winner or Team UCLA Beat?
As a Pac-10 fan, I’m tired of the arrogance and insolence of USC in declaring that somehow the Rose Bowl belongs to them. The annual appearance in the Rose Bowl belongs to the Pac-10 champion, whoever that may be. The USC arrogance was evident after the team’s narrow victory over Ohio State. The Trojans acted as if it was a rout, even though they were outgained by Ohio State by 140 yards.
Instead of being so arrogant, USC had better pay more attention to academics. A USC professor was quoted in a national magazine a while back that less than 20% of the black football players graduate. That’s pretty bad.
