Buster Sports

Folks,

I am the USC Blogger for this site. I've been a huge fan of the University of Southern California since I was a kid. I grew up in a family with many Notre Dame Alums and choosing USC as a kid was a way to be ornery and annoy my older cousins. :-) Choosing USC as my college had everything to do with falling in love with the campus and the Dean's Scholarship I was awarded.  Let's just guesstimate my fandom started around 1978.

That's not a bandwagon fan folks. A bandwagon fan is well, any of the number of unwashed, uneducated masses that have adopted USC as their own simply due to our recent success. And trust me I don't want to see them in my cardinal and gold any more than you do.

By definition a Bandwagon fan is someone who adopts a popular point of view for the primary purpose of recognition and/or acceptance by others. USC has more than its share of bandwagon fans. I am happy to announce that their particular bandwagon is departing now every hour on the hour from Downtown LA. They are bound for Palo Alto. Congratulations Stanford, you can have 'em!

True USC fans are THRILLED to see the bandwagon fans jump off our cart. Bandwagon fans are the most annoying thing in sports.

So while my non-USC Pac-10 brethren laugh at USC's humilation at the hands of Stanford, the one thing we have in common is our glee at waving Buh-Bye Now to the legions of Bandwagon USC fans.

Your taunts mean nothing to me. And I'm not here to cover the Pac-10 as a whole. I am here to write about USC. A school that I love to a ridiculous degree.

I am, and remain always, Proud to be a USC Trojan. Even if we never win another football game again. Which, you know, will not be the case.
