Mark Sanchez’s Mexican flag mouthguard and pride in
his native culture has made for message board fodder nationwide. Now, the USC
Trojan Marching Band is bringing some Latin flavor to support the
Trojans’ fiery junior quarterback.

After adapting the Bubba Sparxx hit “Ms. New
Booty” for the Trojans’ aptly-named quarterback of the past two
years, the Trojan Marching Band has unveiled a new quarterback theme for 2008:
“El Matador.” The TMB arranged the Latin hit at the request of
Sanchez and his brother Nick. Check out this video and notice the band’s
cheer (“San-chez!” “San-chez!” “Viva
Sanchez!”):
