Trap could be waiting for Trojans in Tucson

Though I’m not particularly fluent in the various Internet memes, their origins or why people take the time to generate so many, USC’s clash at Arizona on Saturday conjures one I’ve seen floating around cyberspace: “It’s a trap!” Before continuing, here’s a brief meme history lesson: This meme is derived from a scene in Star [...]

Trojans can get back into the BCS equation

By now, you’ve likely heard a pundit mention that one team or another controls its own destiny. Just what does it need to do? Run the table. This is college football speak. This has been uttered before. This is hackneyed. But this also pertains to USC. What this means is: If a team can win [...]
