Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
That said, USC can't take all the credit for the successes of its students. After all, it takes a special kind of man to be wanted for sexual harassment, drug trafficking, tax evasion, prostitution, child abuse and disruptive flatulence, but that's just the kind of captain of industry that Joe Francis is.
Look, I think it's as funny as the next guy to see a big program be humbled, but Stanford better hope and pray they've got a few strong years coming up for their program. There are a lot of young players at USC, and if Jim Harbaugh bolts for another job, there will be some ugly games between the Cardinal and Trojans in the next few years.
Then again, the Stanford band kind of has a history, so no one should be surprised that they're starting some stuff with the opposition.(H/T to The Wiz of Odds)

You’re really concerned about what LSJUMB does? This is their thing. They’ve been doing it for years. It’s not like they drew up the halftime show when Stanford was ahead in the second quarter—they would have done it if USC was up 50-0.Side point: generally, the host AD will ask for script approval, or not allow them on the field. So, did the AD check this and deem it all right, or forget? I’ll go with the latter.

Hey…. bring it on!!! Good for Jim Harbaugh. If he or anyone else can do it. smacking SC around is OK even a good thing for the Trojan program…. Believe me Pete Carroll has a much easier job NOW in getting his team to understand of just WHY competing is always so important. Do it and you win… don’t and well, you get the Stanford result… or Oregon result… take your choice. So, will things get ugly in the future? You bet… but only WHEN one team or the other allows that to happen.

Yeah this is typical stuff for the terrible StanfUrd band. What happens when you take 100 arrogant nerds and give them instruments: LSUJMB.
That Tree just better hope I never catch him after dark….

Stanford’s band is classless, always has been, always will be.
