"U$c's Stuart Gray, who chose the Trojans over us, despite the fact that his parents were Golden Bear alums."
Proto-NIL? USC was so far ahead of our time.
We couldn't understand it. It's not like USC basketball was that good at that point.
In fact, in the early 1980s, we were playing the Trojans. Harmon still had the old hand-operated scoreboard, in that the names had to be placed by hand, using individual letters to spell out the team name, such as "CAL" and "USC".
Well, that particular game was ugly, as befitted two middle-to-bottom Pac-10 programs, and by the middle of the second half, some jokester had managed to sabotage the scoreboard, and rearragned the names to read "LAC" and "SUC".

No one complained, because it was exactly right.
I miss those days.
Yes, I do remember when SC basketball really SUCked.
