USC Football, while predicted to win this week, has had its share of failure over the years. Let’s warm our cold hearts by mainlining some pure, uncut Trojan failure.

Listen, as we’ve covered in depth on this site this week, the prospects for a UCLA victory over USC on Saturday are not great. But one bad season for the Bruins doesn’t negate the fact that USC is a poorly run clown show across town and has been for a few years now.

I wanted to feed the schadenfreude beast a little and revel in some of the pain that the Trojans have endured over the years. I make no apologies; I’m a stone-hearted, bitter golem sustained only by the burning fire of hathos deep within me. I hate USC beyond my capacity to understand the term.

It would be impossible to choose between UCLA victories over USC, as they are all precious babies whom I love equally. But there’s plenty of other Trojan misfortune to choose from. So here is my list (yours may vary somewhat) of the either greatest losses by USC since 2000 – non-UCLA edition.

Why eight? Pick your poison: either for the 8-clap or for the eight-in-a-row for UCLA from 1991-1999 that still stands as the longest winning streak in the rivalry. Let’s get our hate on!
