So… that just happened. My first USC loss to ND since I became an “Irish Trojan.”
Congrats to my long-suffering Irish-fan friends on finally beating USC. Really.
And… sigh.
Beat. The Bruins.
P.S. Amen to this:
Ronald Johnson is as good a man as you will ever want to meet. He dropped a ball on the final USC drive that would have changed the outcome of the game. He felt the cruel reality of sports tonight just as the Boise State kicker did yesterday. I feel for him and the Trojan family should support a senior, who did it the right way for four years.
“It’s just part of the game. You drop balls,” said Mitch Mustain about the unforgettable play. “That one probably would’ve changed the outcome, but it doesn’t matter. I don’t know if there’s a worse feeling than that.”

And what a debate it is.
If God came to me and said, “SU, USC is going to lose ONCE in the next 9 years, when do you want it?”. I would probably tell him I’d like 8 in a row and give me the loss when USC is on sanctions and banned from the post season.
I still wear my “Luck of the Irish?/Longest ND losing streak in history” T-shirt, now as a fond memory, rather than an endless tradition.
