The hardest adjustment to joining the USC faculty has been learning to root for the football team. When I was a kid, I would root for the Trojans against Notre Dame, but otherwise I have been a Big Ten guy my whole life, and USC was just too good.
But it has been a great pleasure to root for the Trojan Basketball team in the PAC-10 Tournament; particularly sweet was the victory over UCLA, with which I will always associate the magnificent and insufferable Bill Walton.
I think USC is underseeded in the NCAAs, and I look forward to further surprises.
