USC-Notre Dame Picture Of The Day

Of course I have to post this picture of the Bush Push, with yours truly in the Nottingham Forest jersey on the left. These final minutes were the most intense crowd atmosphere I ever experienced at a USC game. Being 10 yards from one of the biggest plays in USC-Notre Dame history didn’t hurt either.

But the crowd was unbelievable and don’t forget they had already stormed the field when it appeared the game ended, only to be told to go back to their seats for the fateful outcome. There was a wave of emotion that carried through the stadium on that final drive.

Later that season, I was in a similar area of the field for the end of another great game (USC-Texas) but the intensity level wasn’t quite the same.

One side note: On at least two occassions in the rivalry (1997, 2005), the visitors’ locker room suffered post-game damage from all the USC celebrating.

  2. Scottie, hope you received some compensation from Capital One.

    And what would a Scottie column be without a little snark:

    1. If only Reggie could find some way of getting on the field tomorrow and duplicating the effort he made in 2005 ……
