PLACID FLASHBACK

Relaxing nostalgic:  Take a tranquil trip back in time and space, hoping that all will be revealed

“They talk of days for which they sit and wait and all will be revealed.”

–Led Zeppelin, Kashmir

With this week’s most recent — and fairly damning — allegations against usc’s basketball and beloved football programs, everyone who didn’t buy a trojan diploma is counting the days until troy sports crumbles under the weight of severe NCAA penalties. The tension grows, as the pile of evidence continues to overwhelm the NCAA offices.

Meanwhile, the arrogant trojans are still clinging to the ridiculous notion that usc was unaware of all the violations and payoffs that were taking place.  The absurdity of this faulty belief is equal to the absurdity of the level of cheating that sc has apparently been getting away with.

It is enough to give a trojan-hater high blood pressure.  So, even though this MAY backfire, here are some serene photos from a time gone by — 2006 — during the early reign of the UCLA Dance Team, to calm you, like a pussycat’s purr, or just to channel your passion and emotion stirred up by waiting for the guillotine to fall.
