And yet, over 10 years later, USC is still waiting patiently to make a playoff game.
Color me all green & yellow, but I'd take a playoff berth plus the most embarrassing half in cfb playoff history over the ONLY blue blooded football program never having been to the playoffs EVER.....speaking of notoriety.
And this after hiring a supposedly sure-thing/can't-miss/USC-is-back coach from Oklahoma.
Both are bad. But I'll take notoriety + progress (35-6) over mediocrity + stagnation (26-14)....lol
BTW we quacks dished out some notoriety-making whoop-arse ourselves in our first playoff game - a 59-20 victory over a team with a 29-0 winning streak, Florida State. 😆
Ya see, it's the playoffs....anything can happen!
(Oh, my apologies, you Trojans wouldn't really know....)
Yes, USC has oodles of college football accomplishments and much success including double digit national championships. No question there. Extremely admirable, and you Trojans should all be very proud of your rich history. Nobody could claim anything else, especially in comparison to the paucity of college football accomplishments including ZERO national championships in football for Oregon.
Again, not the point. The point is the past 10 or so years--and perhaps more specifically the past 3 years under CLR--have not been nice to USC. Especially when compared to a bunch of absolute ZEROs. 😉
But thanks for reinforcing my point of how embarrassing it must be to be a USC fan this past decade especially taking into account all of your football program's historical accomplishments.
Totally agree it was a HUGE embarrassment for us quacks. What a disaster!!
And we were sitting on the Ohio State side of the Rose Bowl.....lol.....I don't think hell has anything in store that would be quite as nefarious as that first half sitting in the stands with a bunch of Buckeyes going crazy with revenge. Give me a full year in Hades with Satan himself over sitting there again during that first half.... 👿😱
But sometimes reaching rock bottom and clawing your way back to the top again--or rather to a top you've never ever reached before and couldn't have even imagined back 25+ years ago--can give a person so much more satisfaction than simply being on top and staying on top year after year.
Well, given that usc was intentionally screwed over by ESPN and the bcsec agenda in 2003,6and 8, not really. We all know what these interests were capable of w the fraud that was the Reggie Bush witch hunt, which in turn led to 15 years of sanctions and ongoing inept hc and ad hires. I think usc has still won the same number of rose bowls over that period as the ducks ever have. Win a conference 7 years in a row and then get back to us.

Fight on, my good friend, MLK! 😉
