The tagless 2004-06 Dynasty shirt (Matt&Reggie&LenDale&Pete) is the first in a line of TrojanWire-branded apparel. The design is printed on a heavy cotton thread that has been treated with an enzyme wash to give it a drinkability you will find in no other beer at any price. This is not your hipster thin, flimsy, slim-fit American Apparel shirt; and for all we know it is not green, friendly to the environment, or produced under "fair" labor laws.

The only way to get one is to sign up with our sponsor onedegree.

It was every bit as good as Reggie (Bush) made... more »
Vidal Hazelton was USC’s second-leading receiver last season. Now he’s second string and uncertain about his immediate football future. The junior, who hasn’t caught a pass the past two games and has been bothered by sore ankles, asked Coach Pete Carroll whether he could redshirt this season. It isn’t as simple as that, as I’ll explain below, but the... more »
