Good news, please!

USC football was nominated by Los Angeles magazine as one of the 64 greatest things about LA:

Tailback U it was and remains, even though nowadays it is superstar quarterbacks who lead the teams to glory. Add in a marching band with attitude, a mascot who runs like the wind, a fight song you can't get out of your head, a movie-star-handsome coach, Tommy Trojan's bronze pecs, and fans who make Friday Night Texans look like sleepy bears, and we're goin' long, baby.

The 64 things are being pitted against one another in an NCAA Tournament-style bracket, open to public voting. The good news is that USC football made the Big Dance. The bad news is it must have been seeded low -- it lost in the first round to the weather.

The only other sports-related nominee was Dodger announcer Vin Scully (who also lost in the first round -- to the Central Library).

What an unfair seeding. It's the two best things in LA against each other in the first round? This shoulda been the finals.
