USC 38, ND 3

Praise be to Jesus!

USC played everybody but the janitor in the 4th quarter, showing plenty of mercy to ND

I graduated from USC in 1978. My Bro-in-law is a ND ‘81 guy. It just so happened that they were visiting this weekend, then they had to drive back to Atlanta. Talk about Schadenfreude. At least he had the common sense not to bet me on the game. My sister would’ve killed him.

I realize this will be difficult for ND fans to accept, but if ND is to regain its position in college football, it must join a conference. The day of an independent is passed, even on with the support and heritage of ND. If ND joined the Big Ten, the conference could split itself into two divisions, as have other conferences. A twelve member Big Ten would be a major rival of the other two powerhouse conferences: the SEC and Big Twelve.

From my vantage point in the Coliseum last Saturday, it seemsd that it was the Trojan defense that really shone, bottling up the Domers and preventing them from making a first down for nearly three quarters.

I was especially pleased that the Domers brought out their band. I’ve attended every USC-Notre Dame game at the Coliseum since 1974, and this is the first time I’ve seen it. They serenaded us with a rousing rendition of our theme song, “Fight On!” during the pregame festivities and also put on a good half time show.

Next Saturday, it’s off to the Arroyo Seco where the Trojans will battle the UCLA Bruins for the LA city championship.
