Rose Bowl not providing big stimulus
Walking up the steps of the Coliseum at the end of USC's 38-3 win over Notre Dame last month, a longtime Trojans booster greeted a friend with a handshake and one word: Phil Collins in the Daily News.
"Bummer."
He said it with a hearty laugh, since USC was celebrating another win over the Fighting Irish. Yet the resignation in the sentiment was almost palpable. Earlier in the day, Oregon State had been walloped by Oregon, virtually assuring USC's presence in the Rose Bowl - for a fourth consecutive season.
Once again, the ho-ho-ho of the coming holiday season would be ho-hum for the Trojans.
