From the TV-makes-everything-important department: In an area outside the Coliseum known as Christmas Tree Lane, it appeared as if Christmas had arrived in October for Trojans fans. An estimated 5,000 onlookers in all–maybe 200 were Cal supporters while the rest represented USC–needed to witness if, for the first time in more than 100 road trips,…

Ouch–you can feel the pain and heartbreak in this poor Nebraska fan’s account of his day at the Coliseum watching SC beat Cal, followed by coming home to catch the 7 touchdowns by Texas Tech in the 2nd half of the Nebraska-Texas Tech game (end score, TT 70, Neb. 10): The seven second half touchdowns…

Matt Leinart, blogging it up, about this week’s big game and the seemingly-relentless talk of last year’s heartbreaking triple-OT loss up at Berkeley: Everyone wonders about last year’s game, but last year is last year. This is a whole new year. I didn’t play well last time, but I was a young guy finding my…

Last year, the Trojans went back to the old-school grey face masks that used to be standard in college football. But did you know–only 7 other teams in Division I use grey face masks? Just another reason why SC football rules.

The Los Angeles Times annoints Steve Smith as the official new #1 receiver at USC in today’s edition. With 2 TDs and 25 catches, we here at TrojanWire would begrudgingly agree.
