Countdown to Kickoff: 40 Days

As we continue on our daily countdown towards the 2007 season, we are now at 40. We're that much closer to seeing the majestic Traveler, USC's official mascot...

How fun is it at USC home games when the Olympic torch of the Coliseum is lit, and then Traveler rides out to signal the start of the 4th quarter. The magnificent white horse has been getting Trojan players and fans pumped since he made his debut in 1961. Legend has it that O.J. Simpson decided to attend USC after seeing Traveler on a televised football game. I just hope fans stick around for the 4th quarter of games this season to see him. There won't be many close games this year, at least not at home...

Fight On!
