WINNERS
Drew Peterson
The game of a lifetime in a sold-out Galen Center vs. arch-rival UCLA.
Ed Orgeron
His Adrian Peterson recruiting story went viral.

Lincoln Riley
He got suite tickets to the Super Bowl. Beats being a bumpkin in Norman.
The Coliseum
The NFL built a beautiful replica of the peristyle circa 1967. USC needs to bring back the scoreboard/clock.
Tam’s Burgers
The Super Bowl halftime show provided a great advertisement for the fast-food restaurant in its ode to Compton.

LOSERS
UCLA basketball
The fawning media placed the Bruins in the national title game before the season. What have they done since?
Mick Cronin
He is 0-5 vs. USC. Dreadful.
Brandon Sosna
The athletic dept. Mini-Me is a diehard Bengals fan. It might take years to get over that loss.
USC social media
It jumped on the Rams bandwagon harder than anyone. Shameful.
Loved that LR got suite ticks to the Super Bowl. Fight on?

Caleb Williams was a big winner this week. Luxury box seats at the Super Bowl.
Andy Enfield is another big winner- 5 Straight over UCLA. USC is now even or better with UCLA in basketball nationally which has never been seen before. Big win for recruits I hear there are some outstanding guards leaning toward USC now over UCLA. Could be a Top 5 recruiting class coming in.
Anyone see the video of Mike Bohn celebrating with the USC basketball team after the big win vs. UCLA. Good job Mike now keep it going and give Andy another raise so he does not go to Maryland.

Where the hell is OWNS?????? George Armstrong Custard never surrendered at Big Horn, but OWNS there is still time to switch colors and become a Trojan. LA is USC territory now, and we’re are building momentum without the help of the State of California. Our soon to be new Mayor is also a Trojan so it’s time to throw out the white flag, and change to Cardinal and Gold.

Where the hell is Roman Gabriel???======The Rams should have invited him to the Super Bowl. Terrible QB -poor guy was sacked so much watching him on TV I would be surprised if he is able to get out of bed today.. Certainly, worthy of getting the chance to see the Rams finally win something in person yesterday.
Thank you HarlanSavare former Rams football coach.

Not so, tommyd, Gabriel was considered one of the best quarterbacks in the 1970s and in an era where passing was not as emphasized as today, still compiled nearly 30,000 yards passing. Unfortunately, he and the
Rams could not get past Minnesota and Dallas.

Gabriel was the mvp in ’69 or something like that. The owner of buffalo offered to trade OJ strait up for the Roman but Roman was worth more than OJ at that point in time.

I grew up watching Roman Gabriel as a kid- he was not a top NFL QB but did have a great arm. Johnny Unitas, Bart Starr, Darryl Lamonica, Roger Staubach, Sir Francis Tarkenton, YA Tittle, Joe Willie Namath, John Brodie, Dr. Frank Ryan, Sonny Jurgensen, Len Dawson all were better than Gabriel who never lived up to his potential because pre-George Allen the Rams were terrible. Once George came to town the Rams learned how to win starting with defense.
