But...maybe it's hate.
In the past, many coaching shortcomings have been forgiven if there are wins over the University of Spoiled Children and/or kal.
Is that "hate'?
When I went of HS in SoCal-- back in the Jurassic period-- is when I first started even noticing U...S...C. Saw the kids in my senior class who went to S...C and my only thought was "It figures".   Through the years of numerous thumpings, a few "stolen" Tro..jan wins and an occasional win for the good guys I've had no problem wishing all kinds of bad luck on U...SC.  The LA game, our final shot at Pete Carrol is one of the few videos I keep around to watch. That was sweet and emphatic. Leave no doubt.
One thing: Tro..jans, when you get them alone, are a lot more tolerable than when they get in a pack and start reinforcing each other's world view. Man, the fist-pumping alumni rally (now ex-Athletic Director) Mike Garrett held up at the hotel in the Bay Area right after the Reggie Bush fiasco broke w/ the NCAA... that's a good tutorial on why people "hate" the U...S....C. It didn't help that the only defense put up by the U*S*C* posters and few bloggers right afterward was: "That's just Mike and he'd been drinking." Classic.
But stick around. We even treat some particular kal followers w/ politeness. If we can do that, surely we can be nice to lone supporters of that city sacked by Agamemnon 2200 years ago.
