There Is No Offseason

Congrats to Gobrojans, a.k.a. Mikael Romano, who put together this winning entry in the Lexus Gauntlet YouTube Challenge. Mikael created a 25-second commercial that captured the spirit of the UCLA-USC rivalry. The grand prize for winning the contest? A two-year lease on a Lexus IS 250.

The announcement was made yesterday ... purely coincidental with our own USC-UCLA announcement.

The Lexus Gauntlet, awarded annually to the all-sports champion of the crosstown rivalry, currently stands at 47.5 to 32.5 in favor of USC. It takes 57.5 points to win or 55 with a tiebreaker.
