There are tickets available and eight hotels in downtown [...]

BEST PROGRAM: USC Under Pete Carroll's direction, the Trojans became the sport's most dominant program, winning seven straight Pac-10 titles (2002-08), six BCS bowl games and two national titles (2003 AP; 2004 unanimous). At one point from 2003-05, Carroll's teams won 34 straight games, tying Miami for the longest streak this decade. USC won 11 or more games for seven straight seasons while consistently playing one of the nation's toughest...  

The storm clouds are gathering in Los Angeles as we approach bowl week. Pete Carroll has deemed the Emerald Bowl the biggest game for USC during the Carroll era. I have to agree. A loss here would cement the fall of the Trojans. Just like Miami, the deterioration of the Trojan "dynasty" has begun. While there is no doubt USC has had a great run recently with some great athletes, I struggle to call it a dynasty. I even struggle to distinguish...

Ah, the life of a Trojans fan when your team has fallen flat on its face after years of excellence. Mired in the gloom of disappointment, you search for some form of rooting interest that makes the BCS championship game interesting. At the same time, the disconcerted Trojans fan looks for a way to channel his or her rooting interest into some sort of glorification of their beloved, yet underachieving Men of Troy. These are the challenges I...  

At the beginning of this season, the USC Trojans were ranked No. 3 in the NCAA standings. They received an inordinate about of air time about things they did that ultimately didn't matter. The Trojans were anointed at BCS National Title contenders, but fast forward 12 weeks later, they are out of contention and considered a major disappointment. The "experts" assumed that even though USC had lost a huge amount of players, it was USC and...

LOS ANGELES — In the end, after this most un-Troy of seasons, autumn for everyone else but a true Trojans fall, they fittingly arrived less than USC-ready. And they did so just one week after we were told that football around here is all about ...

Thank you to Jim over at Conquest Chronicles for a look at the USC Trojans. 1)  Tell us a little about Kevin O'Neil. How does the Trojan fan base feel about the hire? Many USC fans were not happy with O'Neill's hire. He came with some baggage after his stint in Arizona. He alienated players and his fellow coaches while in Tucson. His coaching style was seen as "in your face". Some of the fan base has warmed to O'Neill but many remain...
