With our Trojans just hours away from tip-off against Texas, here’s a last-minute rallying cry from superfan Matt:

Trojan fans,

In the unlikely event that you didn’t burn your “down with the Longhorns” T-shirts from the ’06 Rose Bowl, now’s the time to break ’em out again. Kevin Durant is no Vince Young. And this time we’re the underdogs.

If there’s a group of hardcore Trojans out there planning to watch Sunday’s game together, (or a Sports Bar that needs a hometown giveaway) e-mail me and we’ll get you in some new shirts on the cheap. If thumping Michigan didn’t get the bad taste of Pasadena ’06 out of your mouth, beating the ‘horns on the hardcourt will.

Fight On!
