NU fan in Denver Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Scratch Here It's not as serious as, say, starting quarterback Mark Sanchez's dislocated kneecap, but the USC Trojans are suffering a new rash of injuries. Emphasis on rash. According to a report in the Los Angeles Times, as much as 25% of the team has been affected by a run of tinea cruris, known more colloquially as "jock itch." Head coach Pete Carroll told the Times he'd never seen anything like the current outbreak and pointed a finger at new compression shorts the team has been wearing underneath their football pants. "We've had to adjust to some new equipment that we're wearing that didn't work out right," Carroll said. "It's funny how that happened." You'll forgive tailback Joe McKnight and wide receiver Travon Patterson if they aren't laughing. Both were unable to practice Wednesday because of the severity of the irritation. "It burns," Patterson said. "Sometimes they can't walk," said tailback Stafon Johnson. "I don't know what it is, but I'm staying away from it." Quote Link to comment

And for the really Squeamish: Jock Itch? Dude!!! You have to warn people when your links include USC on USC player sex! That was more than just a little shocking (it's not shocking that there is a lot of USC on USC player sex....that's a given, just having it open up on the old computer screen without warning).
