The Black Parade

Uscallblacks

The USC all-blacks had an impressive turnout tonight, blanketing the stadium with an ominous new look. Trojans fans are clad in a different color than usual as part of a "Black Out the Bruins" campaign as they go for the season sweep over UCLA.

Although the new uniforms are pretty hard-core (all the way down to black shoes) compared with the baby blue of UCLA, the strangest juxtaposition is a sea of fans waving Will Ferrell face masks to distract the Bruin's free throw shooters. Ferrell, a USC alum, wasn't able to make it tonight. We're just guessing he's at the NBA All Star game to promote "Semi-Pro," his movie coming out at the end of the month. Tyler Murphy, who lettered for the Trojans in 2001, is also in the movie and is in attendance tonight along with Tom Selleck, Al Cowlings and Nick Young.

Matt Leinart was shown on the jumbotron sitting with Brynn Cameron and their baby. Brynn, who plays for the USC women's basketball team, is coming off of a big victory today at Pauley Pavilion, where the Women of Troy spanked the Bruins, 49-36. Matt is probably coming off of another great weekend clubbing in Hollywood.

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).
