USC To Wear Home Jerseys even if it Costs Them 2 Timeouts!

USC head coach Pete Carroll thinks the fans will appreciate seeing two colorful uniforms during the Rose Bowl game this year. The problem is, USC is supposed to wear the "visitor's" white jerseys. UCLA is the home team and they get to wear their colorful uniforms by way of NCAA rules. UCLA head coach, Rick Nueheisel, likes the idea too, but then his team has nothing to lose. in 1982 USC and UCLA both wore homejerseys when they both shared the Coliseum, in that year's Rose Bowl.

 So, it's already happened once, and Nueheisel, whose ready to sacrifice two timeouts to see it become a tradition, thinks the uniform change would be good for all.

Meanwhile, the NCAA is meeting today and there's a chance they may relax the rules and not penalize USC for wearing their home jerseys.

I have been a fan of both UCLA and USC since the early sixties, and can remember going to many of their games with my buddies.

Four or five of us (depending on whose car we took) would pool our money for gas. I can remember seeing O.J. Simpson play for USC. He was an exceptional athlete back then.

Now  O.J. is doing prison time and is a disgraced public figure.
