		<description><![CDATA[This Saturday, I went over to the dark side: I went to a UCLA football game that didn’t involve USC. A friend of mine offered me a ticket to the Bruins’ game against Oregon, and with the Trojans enjoying their bye week, I decided to take the opportunity to see how the other half lives.

This one was supposed to be ugly. The 45.5-point spread was more of a generous suggestion for the Trojan offense, which ripped the lowly Cougars for 69 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Matt Barkley has officially relinquished the title of freshman. With the game on the line in just his second collegiate game, in front of perhaps the loudest crowd he will ever face, Barkley’s play was not that of a teenager. His numbers weren’t spectacular.

But what about when it comes to the USC football team, which seems to have no qualms about starting an 18-year-old kid fresh out of high school? Considering that many Trojan fans pay more attention to this team than their lovers, I [...]]]></description>

People could easily call on “the ‘80s” or “the ‘90s” to sum up an entire decade of culture and history in a few short words.
