Every area with any population is "ethnic," isn't it? Never understood how some people could be perceived as more ethnic than others. DIFFERENT ethnicities, but no more or less.

I understand. It's not a perception. Some people ARE a LOT more ethnic than others. Pony Up.

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/allthin ... la-bo.htmlBoth USC coach Pete Carroll and UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel have agreed that the home team will decline the penalty and burn a timeout to give the proverbial finger salute to the NCAA.
I'm just a traditionalist at heart.
I grew up in LA and went to the UCLA-USC game every year in the Coliseum as a kid (when it was traditionally played on the Friday after Thanksgiving). Nothing better than both teams wearing their home colors - that is the way it should be.

Great Football player but he truly is an embarrassment to the University now.
BTW the pic was from the 1967 National Championship decider.
Looks major league Photoshopped.
Not that Photoshop is a bad thing.

I don't think that is an actual photo...save it to your computer and blow it up...looks more like a painting based upon a photo perhaps.

That is a painting not an actual photograph.
Taken from Sports Illustrated coverage of the game:

click on "view this issue" and you will find the actual photograph which inspired this painting.
BTW This article by Dan Jenkins (who unfortunately attended TCU) was included in SI's hardcover book "Great Football Writing".
