Sometimes Life gives you gifts. - Redrum - 11-16-2012
Why didn't WE think of this? UCLA has banned the Trojan mascot from stabbing the field / center logo with his sword as part of the pre-game hoopla. Marvelous!! It's so petty it just might work. A weak kick in the balls is better than no kick at all where USC is concerned.
And...we get a TWOFER! The LA Times' Bill Plaschke sorta goes off on Tommy Trojan and field stabbing.  Plaschke's article has quote that is SO revealing and delightful in its innocent self-absorption:
"Beyond this being really kind of childish, the biggest thing that they're missing is that it's not about UCLA or defacing property, it's about us," said Kenny Morris, who was the USC drum major for the 2009 season. "It's about the Trojan family, all of us uniting for one single moment...
Yup. As usual, it's all about them.

Just so you know, there is absolutely no truth to the rumor that, as the result of the last two weeks or so of U.S.C. - related news, the LSJUMB has just put the finishing touches on its S.C. halftime show scripts for the next 20 years...

How big a d-bag does one have to be to dress up as a faux-Trojan Homeric warrior, complete with sword and grim visage, stab the logo on the opponent's field before a college football game? That's ridiculous and inappropriate. I hope Stanford doesn't allow it.

Okay, here's my question:Â Is he practicing "looking off" the defensive backs...or is he just a really bad teleprompter reader?

I know a place where he can stick his sword.

I'm fine with the swordplay...as long as we can stick a pinecone under Traveler's tail with Tommy aboard.

Idea that should leave #UCLA, #USC fans both happy: The Trojan drum major can stab the logo midfield, but actual live bear gets to eat him.
