Following the strange internet sensations Rick Roll and Things White People Like, All Things Trojan blogger Adam Rose put together a little list of Stuff Cardinal and Gold People Like. If you are or have been a USC student, you might agree that it’s a pretty humorous and spot on compilation of Trojan life. Included on the list are:

Numbers – The nine-oh. The two-nine. The three-two. These all mean something to Trojans…
Whoever is Playing UCLA/Notre Dame – When the Bruins and Irish face each other, USC fans will only be satisfied if both lose…
Going for it on 4th Down – They don’t chant “Big Balls Pete” for nothing. USC fans believe there is something magic about a do-or-die situation. If you don’t believe it, I have two numbers for you: 4th and 9.

In addition to the stuff above, the list also includes things like flip-flops, beach cruisers and being late. But as accurate as the list may be, it’s still missing a few key components of the Trojan lifestyle. Come inside to get the inside Trojanwire addendum to the Cardinal and Gold list.

–

1) Sunbathing – The climate in Southern California lends itself nicely to this Trojan Tradition. Whether it be Spring, Summer or Fall, if there is a spot of sun on a patch of grass, there will be a group of gorgeous girls in bikinis basking in it. It’s the greatest gift for USC to recruit new students. Every time a tour of high school seniors comes to check out the University, while their mothers busily watch the tour guides, the boys have their eyes on the many parks around campus, where nearly naked sorority girls read their marketing books in the sun.

2)Chanos – It’s 2:30 AM, the 9-0 just closed, you’re so drunk you think you might die and drive-thru line at Jack In the Crack is around the block. Where can you turn? Chanos. On the corner across from the row, the two story shack is its busiest in the wee hours of the morning, where trashed party-goers get a head start on their hangovers with greasy nachos, burgers and tacos. That is if you don’t get run over trying to cross Figueroa. Chanos is the savior of many a wasted Trojans.

3) Half-Off Marguerita Tuesdays at La Barca – Located on Vermont and 29th this little Mexican hide-out is the best kept secret at USC, and half-off marguerita Tuesdays are a staple for the Trojan faithful. The line may be out the door so come early.
