UCLA sticks it to USC over midfield logo-stabbing tradition

1h6ofl.jpg


UCLA already has one stop against USC, and it's still several days until Saturday's Pac-12 Conference football showdown at the Rose Bowl.

The drum major for USC's band will not be allowed to stab his sword into the UCLA logo at midfield during its traditional pregame performance. The Trojans drum major has been planting his sword in that way at games home and away dating back to the 1970s.

USC was told that if the sword is planted, the Trojans band will not be allowed to perform at halftime, a person in the UCLA athletic department confirmed. Other UCLA officials declined to comment.

Of course, there is always this sticking point: USC has won 12 of the last 13 games in the series.

Certainly the USC-UCLA rivalry doesn't remotely approach tOSU-Michigan for relevancy, but it does come fairly close in rancor. These two fan bases absolutely abhor one another.

Oh come on, it's been at least 2-3 years since they had a stabbing before the game!
