When Tommy Prothro was coach at UCLA he was known for using unusual but legal plays. One of the buttons ucla fans wore ( remember those?)...stated “ prothro tactics are better than Trojans”...another one was “Trojans pop under pressure”...
Now...the fans just say....”eff so and so”...no class..
The usc students would wave dollar bills and chant...”we will buy you”...good, fun, childish, high spirited rivalry...
PS...I went to both schools...

Seems to me UCLA Fans would jingle their car keys at SC Students / Fans back in the day, maybe still? The reason was something to the effect what new car did Daddy buy you this week.
