I Love USC

Thanks to Adam Nordin ('06), who found a high-quality MP3 of "I Love USC." I'm putting up the clip so we can try and track down who wrote/performed this version. If you have any more info, please pass it along.

Also, thanks to SD Hoosier for finding a YouTube video with the track.

A final thanks to Joan Lima ('89), who earned Brownie points earlier for tracking down this story about the USC-LSU billboard rivalry.

My copy of "I Love USC" lists "Emanon" as the performer, which is "no name" backward. Not that that's helpful.

I just posted the song on my website. It was written by a rapper by the name of Aloe Blacc (member of Emanon) while he was a student at USC. He did it in one take one night and it has caught on.

hmmm, the URL thing didn't work. www.nightvisionsonline.com/USC/I_Love_USC.mp3

This is going to be USC's last run for a championship for a while. I have a feeling Pete Carroll will no longer be USC's head coach at the end of the season. He doesn't seem as motivated. I think he needs a new challenge and that will be to coach again in the NFL and I think he may end up taking over the San Diego Chargers coaching job if Norv Turner doesn't get the job done. Expect him to seriously consider coaching the San Diego Chargers if they offer him that job.

The "I Love USC" song was performed by Emanon (not sure if the spelling is correct) during the either '99 or '00 USC vs. UCLA rally. He was a student at USC at the time. I think this is him... www.myspace.com/emanonhiphop
