Spartan Trojan

Answer 3

Trojans is the nickname of the University of Southern California and Spartans is Michigan State. USC is located in California and Michigan State is in Michigan which are thousands of miles apart. Also the states have different capitals (Lansing and Sacramento) so the funding for the Spartan and Trojan programs comes from two different sets of legislators. But both states were the home states for Republican presidents. So Gerald Ford could have been a Spartan and Ronald Reagan could have been a Trojan but neither was because Reagan went to Eureka College which means "I found it" in Greek, which is where the names Spartan and Trojan originally came from. Come to think of it maybe Ford was a Spartan.

The term "Trojan" however means to work hard without ceasing in pursuit of a goal while "Spartan" means austere and devoid of pleasure or pleasurable accoutrements.

Oh my god !!!!!
Who said Troyans were Turkish????
Turkish came in this Land 2500 years after the Troyan war.
