I can't.
I have been following USC football since the early 70's.
Went to SC in the 80's.
Been through probation. Been through Tolner and Hacket and of course Lady sanka of the fake lake/harbor's FATBOY.
Watched Rob Johnson hold the ball almost as long as Slovis. If that was even possible. Sat though Pat burp hiccup belllllllllch Haden destroy the program and the coliseum. Even went to the Freedom bowl disaster against fresneck. Tarmac , robofat fired on his answering machine sucked for sure.
I thought I had seen it all.
The horse going down hard on the east turn of the coliseum made every Trojan cringe. But a fawking diesel dyke broad in Tommy Trojan's uniform? Look away son. You don't wan to see that.
USC is going to play a conference game after the conference championship game ? Really WHY?
Who is going to go to that?
This is going against real conference championship games with real good teams ? Who the hell is going to want to watch that? who would even put that on TV? for what reason? what advertiser is going to sponsor that?
So , you word smiths out there. What WORD is worse than PATHETIC? Pitiful? Does that work? Cause it's freaking sad and embarrassing.
Is there anyone left on SC's campus that has an ounce of self respect? Anyone at all? Might as well just become a basketball school and be done with it.
And I thought USC football showed signs of life by giving Fat Boy Helton 10 million to just go away.
So please just cancel the game. out of respect for THE ONLY THING that put USC on the map in the first place. It's beyond embarrassing. It's Bidenesque. sc
After thinking about it a bit, i can't recall a worse time for USC football, this is Challenger Deep.
Boo Hoo QueerClem...Cry On!
sc should just close down. The school has become a complete embarrassment. One scandal after another, shitty football team, woke president, muslim training ground, overpriced degree, too many parking structures, and ugly chicks.
Best to just shut it all down before it gets worse.

1957 1-9 worst record ever. The slush fund scandal that preceded it lead to the bad record. Stanford Wazzu Oregon and Oregon State all turned on us. Not sure which other PCC schools got hit but USC was hit the hardest funny that
1-9 in the 50's after ucly snitched USC off and got the NCAA penalties. (ucly had been caught first.) That was the worst I have seen. Typical ucly chickenshit behavior.
Tollner and Hackett were pretty bad. 8 straight to UCLA?????? At least Helton beats UCLA.
But I would agree with you because now not only do you have a poor coach you are hemorrhaging fan support.
USC needs to hire an name who is a good coach.
2000 under PH is the only time it comes close. It wasn’t this bad under Don Clark.
There has been some bad stretches in the past, most notably the hackett years. But we always returned to greatness as the Trojan culture and traditions remained. It appears as if there has been intention to destroy Trojan heritage. Perhaps it is just flat out incompetency from the top down, however, the efforts to restore USC to greatness will be more difficult this time around.
This reminds me a LOT of Larry Smith, except he got us to three rose bowls before going south. And Helton was much more in over his head than Smith. But..
Smith: 3 straight rose bowls. Had Rodney. Won one RB. 1-4 bowl record. 44-25 overall record. Helton - rose followed by cotton. Won one RB. Had Darnold. 2-3 bowl record. Overall record 46-24. Pretty close.
Smith at the end: 3-8, 6-5 capped off by horrendous loss to fresneck. Helton at the end: 5-7, 8-5 with bad loss to Iowa, then covid then two games. Not a lot of talent left by either coach. Smith alienating himself to SC fans and alumni with his comments on top of lackluster play. Helton with the clueless look on the sidelines and the wait til November and have to watch the tape comments. Common denominator = poor O Lines. Inconsistent QB play. Helton's overall defenses I would say worse.
Question now is - can SC find another PC?
I actually forgot the 90’s here.
Larry Smith, Hacket, JROB 2
all had some highs and low but for sure they were not glory years. Been a long haul for this Trojan. I think I somewhat know how UCLA football and basketball fans must feel. :)
Yeah, this is it, the worst. The rot from softy Helton/Haden/Swann's tenure will drag on for a bit. Combine that with a coach not prepared yet for the moment, which was foisted on him overnight. How could he be ready?
Yuck
How about "Non-competitive"? Worst O-line in history of USC. Worst running game in USC history. Worst D in USC history. When a team scores TDs on 6 consecutive possessions, that has to be a record! Is SC fun to watch? NO!
Great summary Dena . Don't forget BOHNED!! The moat inept faggot face piece of human shit in the history of the university. FU BOHNED! Nice OC and DC you piece of cunt.
Basketball school
I’ve pondered the same question.
Feels like its the worst ever to me. In the end, thats ”reality“ right.
The sustained ineptitude is what gets me. Carroll leaving in the middle of the night. Brutal and unfair sanctions. Kiffin leaving Knoxville ahead of the mob. Tarmac. Cutty Sark. 45 scholarship
players. Bendict Haden saying USC will win the right way As he sits on 35 Boards of Advisors with his Children. Swannie and his memorabilia shows. Hugs & his commitment to softness.
Medical school dean and his crack whores. The gynecologist Dr Frankenstein. Donte’s Inferno. Yeah man it’s alot.
A whole hell of a lot....
This is the worst USC team ever. When you consider how pathetically easy the schedule was and they are only going to win 4 games it's a no brainer call. They accomplished something that not even Hackett, Tollner or Fade could, namely giving up over 40 points in 3 straight blow out losses at home to average to below average teams.
Even during WWII it wasnt this bad for USC with a7th place finish in 43 in spite of serious recruiting challenges.. USC has had several 2 year very bad periods like 41-42. This is the worst long period. 33-37 was really bd but it was bookended with pairs of great rosebowls and some NC wins.

51-0 to that cunt of Notre Dame in 66. Liberty Bowl and Memphis. Not fighting sanctions. But, this is awful too.
