Bruin Fans Rejoicing, While Trojan Faithful Running Out of Faith

Two stories caught my attention today (Nov. 24): “Trojan Warrior” and “Smith Would Rather Play Irish Earlier.”

Marv Goux exemplifies the USC spirit and the long history of a proud school playing Notre Dame. It isn’t a coincidence that USC is 0-9 AG (After Goux). The spirit he embodies is gone. How do I know? Read the second article.

Larry Smith simply doesn’t get what Goux stands for. Goux has a permanent limp; Smith says it is “asking a hell of a lot” for USC to play UCLA and Notre Dame on successive weekends every other year. He should “get down on his knees” and beg Marv Goux to teach him the real meaning of USC football.
