I'll Take Swords for $400, Trebek

Sword_davis_3 In what's become a great Rose Bowl tradition, a group of seniors led the Trojan Marching Band in several rounds of "Conquest" before walking off the field for the final time.

Desmond Reed (22) went first and was literally dancing on top of a ladder while holding the drum major's sword. It was the perfect follow-up to his spectacular end zone flip, but hopefully he didn't kick it up a notch by running with scissors in the locker room.

More shots of the Trojans' Conquest poses are after the jump.

We'll have a larger photo gallery with more sights from the Rose Bowl later tonight.

Adam Rose learned about the highs and lows of USC athletics while going to school. As a freshman, he watched the football team crash to the bottom of the Pac 10. By the time he was a senior, he was in the stands for a National Championship. In between, he liked to argue points as a member of the Trojan Debate Squad. Nowadays, he's just looking to tell a good story. He is currently Sports Editor for LAist, where he covers a wide range of local action. He can also be seen weekly on KNBC 4's News Raw. Adam manages special events in the sports community when he isn't participating himself (he staggered through the LA Marathon and can often be found on local soccer fields).
