The Trojans? That was the name of their team?
Oh well. How could they know that would become a brand name.
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...
One of the best college games for signs was when the Gamecocks played the Trojans.....the camera panned to a sign in the crowd (only for a moment)
“Our Trojans will cover your Cocks”
Even the TV announcers couldn’t catch their breath for a minute.....
