I'm a huge 'SC fan, and I really agree with you that what Jarrett did was no big deal. Nevertheless, I wish he hadn't done it cause it cause it allowed the commentators to take the focus off of what a great game he had and focus it on a few celebratory actions.
But in the end, nothing can kill my buzz after such a fantastic game! Woooohoooo, Fight On Trojans! Pre-season #1!
A great win for the program, no doubt about it. And regarding Jarrett's 'actions' drawing attention away from the win, I think that those who found such tremendous fault in such trivial taunting would have found something else to criticize USC for. Look, once again, a lot of people were shocked and embarrassed at this rout and a lot of conference chest-thumping was halted in mid-thump.....after that thumping.
