USC 'song boys' may be history

Boi from Troy is checking out a report that the male yell leaders won't be back on the sidelines at Trojans football games this fall.

Known officially as “yell leaders” the tight-knit-sweatered group has had a rough go at it lately. Traditionally, the squad does one pushup for each trojan point after each score. But when you’re beating UCLA 66-19, not even the horse has the stamina to keep up with the Trojan offense, let alone the Song Boys.

We’re working on getting official confirmation, but if true, this would be a tragic end to an 85-year tradition.

P.S. Anonymous sources tell us that the long-time coach of the yell leaders, who moonlighted in the job when not stewarding Less Room Through CoAAch flights on American Airlines, was “released” a few months ago.

Nothing on the yell leaders' official web site. You thought they wouldn't have one?
