USC comes back from punishment and rises to the top. Meanwhile, an SC fan is banned and starts his punishment as he sinks into oblivion, unable to post at SFgate.

We WILL have a much better year than predicted by the naysayers. Be at Memorial Stadium this fall to root our Bears to victory. Go Bears!
