What Happens In Mexico ... Finally Leaks Out

Apparently it can take about as long for highlights to cross the border as it takes to walk across at the end of a holiday weekend (unless you "rent" a bike, but that's a story for another time).

The Trojans were scheduled to take on college and professional basketball teams over the weekend in Mexico, but had three of four games canceled due to the aftermath of a hurricane. Until Wednesday, we hadn't seen much (considering all the football clips available), though we did know that freshmen O.J. Mayo and Davon Jefferson each threw down 29 points in their lone contest.

ESPN compiled this video, which shows the Trojans taking care of business against the Caballeros in a mostly empty arena. It also shows the team's run-ins with cockroaches (nothing new for anybody from USC) and tarantulas (OK, that's a new one). For a full breakdown of the trip you can also check out this entry from the official USC website.

The reason USC is rated #1 is they have the TOTAL best team in the nation, it's not just offense that wins games...DUH!! Have you seen the defense???
