Jingle all the way to the Rose Bowl
As you may or may not know, this is the last Daily Trojan issue of the semester. It’s been a wild, crazy, bacon-wrapped-hot-dog-filled ride, but all good things must come to an end (right Pete Carroll?).

These days, nobody is immune from curses. There’s the Curse of the Bambino, which affected the Boston Red Sox for 86 years.

For the second straight week, ESPN’s College GameDay will feature a matchup with a Pac-10 team. For the second straight week, USC is not that team.

Discipline. That would be one of the first words that comes to mind when thinking of the difference between former USC coach Pete Carroll and his successor Lane Kiffin. From his first practice in the spring, Kiffin made sure players touched every line during sprints, paid full attention during practice and adhered strictly to the [...]

As if USC fans didn’t need any more abuse after an offseason of being dragged through a ditch on the back of a carriage drawn by horses that just ate a can of beefareeno, this comes as a preview to USC’s first game at the Coliseum this weekend: CBSSports.com opened up an article about the [...]
