Asking a Southern Cal Alumn to tone down his SC arrogance would be akin to asking Bronco to tone down his spirituality. As hard as they try, it will still shine through. I guess that is what happens when you are on the top.

It sucks, its bullshit, I hate it and why should we or any other school feel any different about it?

I don't disagree with any of this, but it really has nothing to do with the question, which is, whether is SC viewed as a dirty program.

That SC enjoys the benefits that other "haves" enjoy (Texas, Michigan, Ohio State, etc) is no secret.

To your point, though, the kid committed to FUCLA first. Did you care that BYU took him out of his commitment to that school?

I don't get this.

Please let me know what the quota is per topic/team.

It seems like we have the BYU stuff covered here, so I was just trying to post about something else that may be of interest. I happen to like SC football. If it offends you, apologies.

"We don't want that kind of stuff on this board....go to the other board" Where have I heard that one before? Sounds awfully familiar to me....

Sizzle, I am a BYU alum, actually. But growing up in SoCal, you choose at an early age. Since, my older siblings and niece are Trojan alums, our home has always been cardinal and gold. I was the black sheep of the fam by going to BYU.

Also, SC sucked pretty much for about 20 years...the 80s, the 90s, and the early 2000s. This recent run is awesome, but cant last forever. Gotta run, Jay is watching.

I don't think you're apology is very sincere.

Dang it, it is NOT Southern Cal!

Does the unused portion roll over? If not, I will save them up for Sep because that is going to be a big month.

I have changed my avatar to reflect the new "nothing but BYU" policy that is now in effect.
