Heh. Todd "Marijuanavich" Marinovich. That kid was an amazing talent, with the perfect athletic build, and tossed it all away.

[RocketShark]

I have to say I feel bad for him. I'm sure I don't know the full story but from what I've read he lived in a pressure-cooker until it finally was too much.

Rudy Rudy fictional like the Notre Dame football seasons the last hmmmm !!!! USC forever if you dont like the Trojans great because we dont even care many have come and many gone one thing remains the same there is always something going on in L.A. besides USC football unlike Southbend IN who whats going on right now cold and snow Southern Cal was rank 9 not 1 like Notre Dame and Southern Cal was on the road

[RocketShark]

You sound like a real winner.

Leave to the South Bend refs to bail ND out of another one. The whole game turned at the start of the 2nd half on SC's first drive when Marinovich completes a first down pass to the TE who is at least 2 yards past the marker only to be pushed backward 3 yards by ND players. Naturally the corrupt Domer refs spot the ball short of the first down instead of giving forward progress forcing SC to punt deep out of it's territory and swinging momentum. Refs are good for 7-10 points for ND in South Dump

I thought the visiting team brought refs from their conference.

The difference between ND fans and SC fans we stick with our team through the tough times, because we know the Irish will be back, SC fans when times get tough, like 12 years in a row... crickets...crickets...where'd they go?

@ndunabomber do u know he got all his talent? he was also called the "robo QB" this was because he was trained every since he was little kid to be a football player. His life was football and working out. Thats why he had the build...he was working out ever since he hit puberty. His dad would stretch him when he was a baby to make his legs stronger and rediculous stuff like that. Yes he could have been great. But he hated his life. Thats why he turned to drugs

As a USC fan I will admit that ND was a superior program from the mid 80's to the Late 90's. I was born in 1993 which was around the time the ND started to deteriorate as a football team but they still had our number with players like Reggie Brooks so im not a ignorant USC prick that wont admit that ND owned us But as much as I hate ND probably more than that school across town(UCLA) I still respect the shit out of them I also find them as our major rival. And we should have hired Alvarez as HC

@RocketShark He's a typical USC fan. USC lost in the last game against the irish. They're losing in the series against the irish. They are gonna lose the next game against the irish.Their athletes only win at receiving extra benefits.

Tony Rice reminds me a lot of Tommie Frazier, which I hope Domer fans take as a compliment. GBR
