hamthug tries to undercut me but fails to realize that buckeyes acutally mean something to the state of Ohio.
USC has no class whatsoever.

man the Bruins suck even harder. i don't think UCLA fans should be talking smack since USC always pisses on their school.

In the early 1900's, USC sports teams were known as the Fighting Methodists. However, during a track meet against powerhouse Stanford the outmatched USC team made a valiant effort and nearly won. A writer for the local paper said that USC fought "like Trojans" in attempting to overcome mighty Stanford. The name stuck and was eventually adopted by administrators.

I should probably post this as a seperate question. But does anyone else know what that Buckeye mascot looks like? Huh? Huh? Tall skinny kid with a giant round head with a smaller, flesh colored circle in the middle with a mouth? OMg. Suckeyes indeed.

That would happen to be their mascot. If anyone here is a fool, it's you.
They've won several NCs, produced several Heisman trophy winners. That's just in the past few years, they've done it throughout their history..
USC is one hell of a football college, hate them or not, you have to respect them.

They just call themsevles the Trojans. The people who founded the college might have made the school mascot that.

Their team is named the Trojans. As to why they picked that name I'm not real sure.

Because the condom company bought the naming rights to the school.
