recognized as a football dynasty, like Nebraska is?
I have previously been assured by members of this board that in spite of 11 national championships, umpteen Heisman trophy winners, including 3 of the last 5, a 61-6 record over the past five years or so, and more Superbowl players than any other school can boast, USC's football program doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Nebraska's program.
Suggesting that USC perhaps has a football dynasty worthy of comparison to Nebraska, posters like "California Huster" protested
So here's my question for "California Husker" and others. . . . . .
How many more beatdowns do the Trojans have to administer to Nebraska before Nebraska fans will acknowledge that USC has every bit as good a football program as the Cornhuskers do?
Now please note -- I'm not trying to claim that USC has a superior football team/tradition than Nebraska -- I'm just trying to get Cornhusker fans to acknowledge that at least in a football sense, USC is at least equal to the storied Cornhusker program.
And while I may be myopic as a USC fan, at least I do see well enough to recognize that USC football players seem to block and tackle a whole lot better than the Nebraska Cornhusker football team does.

Others suggested that USC doesn't deserve the "dynasty" label like Nebraska does because the USC home attendance in the past (5-15 years ago) has been somewhat less than Nebraska's home attendance.Damn! Only one ten win season? Three losing seasons? Another four non-winning seasons? And two more where you broke .500 but only won six games. An overall winning percentage of .613? Exactly which season in that stretch was USC a championship contender? Wow, that must have sucked to be an SC fan during that stretch. Oh, never mind, everyone out here in LA just becomes UCLA fans when SC is sucking.
SC fans are so myopic!"
