Artcast: 50 Years of Trojan Traditions and Triumphs

Episode 5: The 1984 Trojan Football Family and In-Game Traditions


Listen Later

Our hosts begin in the fall of 1984. Dr. Bartner's daughter Debbie was a Song Girl and, through her, he became close to the USC Football players. That team went to the Rose Bowl and pulled off an upset of Ohio St. with a defensive performance led by two All-American linebackers. Ryan and Art then turn to the band's in-game traditions — from entering the Coliseum to the final whistle — including the traditional pregame show and "choreographing" the action on the field.
