The fight is on at wild, crazy USC

PREGAME SPEECH

— --

And this week at USC:

Snoop Dogg replaces Dr. Art Bartner as Trojan Marching Band director (Snoop immediately changes the title of "Fight On" to "Fo Shizzle"). ... Lane Kiffin rejoins USC coaching staff. His official position: Voice of Reason. ... Athletic director Pat Haden, weary of cold cuts and chatting up USC boosters, receives a sideline text and bolts from stadium suite to field to confront the mean, bad referee about a mean, bad call against the Trojans.

Wait, that already happened?

What in the name of Marcus Allen is going on at Troy these days? You've got team captains flying off of second-floor balconies and saving nephews in imaginary rescue scenarios. You've got sixth-string running backs accusing their head coach of being a racist. You've got the scholarship-roster challenged Trojans now 2-0, thanks to a gutty victory at Stanford.
