Back in the days when USC under John McKay battled UCLA under Tommy Prothro, half of the fans in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum would be wearing Cardinal and the other half baby blue. Last week, when the Trojans and the Bruins squared off, the Coliseum was, for the most part, a sea of Cardinal, with a small section containing about a fifth of the fans wearing baby blue.
I can only imagine.
To Borrow a quote:
‘The past is a foreign country. They do things differently there.’
The old UCLA I went to in the ‘60s is a part of history.
But back in those days the Coliseum was the home field for both schools, so the annual UCLA - USC game was basically a home game for both teams.
I saw many UCLA - USC games in the Coliseum. What a great rivalry!
