USC out with the official apology

Coog4Life

Thats kind of them.

Too bad BYU students didn’t chant back, “Let’s Go Trojans!”

Crowgar

11/28/21 3:10pm

I thought it would get swept under the rug. Good for them for acknowledging it.

VACougMD

11/28/21 1:02pm

They aren't Utah.

crack

11/28/21 4:45pm

meh. We have endured many things and hope to endure all things.

Str8CashCougar

11/28/21 8:26pm

A bit after the fact don’t you think?

Tank's Dad

11/28/21 1:02pm

Not sure there's anything else they could do.

BYUCougarsFan

11/28/21 1:03pm

Well, it is something.

Tank's Dad

11/28/21 1:05pm

What could they do? Answer: stop the game and call the ridiculous chants

SanPedroCougar

11/28/21 7:51pm

They could really be 'inclusive' instead of just posing.

Pangare

11/29/21 12:38pm

It's something and it's good enough

arkansasbleedsblue

11/28/21 1:10pm

It’s nice honestly. What were they supposed to do? Stop the game and kick

I think Gonzaga might have gone overboard because it was not a bad offense, but

SoBlueitHurts

It would have been hard to apologize before it happened.

jes2332

11/28/21 2:12pm

An apology the next morning is very appropriate

Mabuhay Coug

11/28/21 3:29pm

It’s never too late for an apology

Kilgruman

11/28/21 3:45pm

I wouldn't expect them to apologize beforehand

icecougar

11/28/21 7:18pm

Isn't that how apologies work?

ditch

11/29/21 12:03am

I appreciate that honestly. I assumed they wouldn't say anything.

BYUCougarsFan

11/28/21 1:03pm

Good for them. I just roll my eyes and ignore that stuff, but good for them for recognizing it.

SingleStrapBackpack

11/28/21 1:04pm

That's awesome of them.

Rise Against

11/28/21 1:06pm

First I'm hearing of this. What was said?

FT487

11/28/21 1:06pm

Yewt the Mormons

wildeone

11/28/21 1:07pm

What point in the game? Was the chant picked up on the TV broadcast?

Marathon Man

11/28/21 1:52pm

Yes it was loud and clear to me. But took 20 seconds to figure out what it was

D.T. Survivor

11/28/21 2:19pm

IIRC, it was at the two penalties thrown, where they waved off the offensive PI

bbd24

11/28/21 3:43pm

What was it?

crack

11/28/21 1:08pm

"Let's Go Mormons!!!"

SingleStrapBackpack

11/28/21 1:09pm

Let's go Mormons. The chant was hilarious, edgy, and witty. It was a great examp

vagabonder

11/28/21 1:10pm

Didn’t they use the actual F word...so completely negates any point you are

ColonelMustard

11/28/21 4:09pm

Yes, they were using the "F" word, and I am fairly confident that vagabonder was

RedHeadedStranger

11/28/21 5:37pm

I thought they were saying “Let’s go Jaren.”

GrumpyCougar

11/28/21 2:15pm

Almost…. They were saying “Let’s go Jackson!” Such great students to cheer for their Mormon QB!

Rhino84

11/28/21 4:46pm

Does not align with our Trojan values? Well, uh, YES it does

Lifi

11/28/21 1:11pm

Exactly right. And that's why I don't want to play them anymore.

Y-Zag

11/28/21 1:16pm

Way to hang on to that anger and grievance after an apology

spinner

11/28/21 1:18pm

Hard to still be a victim if you acknowledge the apology

Martin Van Nostrand

11/28/21 1:36pm

Well if she wasn’t wearing such a short skirt…

Iman23

11/28/21 1:46pm

I am just glad you are here to police the reaction to the apology. Never change,

Iman23

11/28/21 1:41pm

you’re right, every grievance should be nursed, all feelings of victimhood should be nurtured

spinner

11/28/21 2:03pm

To be fair, no one who chanted is actually apologizing. It's easy to apologize for other people. Also, I don't care

zonacougar

11/28/21 2:34pm

The apology is nice, but it’s not from the people involved.

JAK

11/28/21 2:58pm

No it doesn’t. A few bad fans such as USU against Brandon Davies or water

Fatalplacebo

11/28/21 1:37pm

When offered a sincere apology, it’s generally best to accept it and move on.

BluesBrother

11/28/21 2:26pm

Wrong people are apologizing. Administration didn't participate in the chant

Y-Zag

11/28/21 2:30pm

This is true, but move on anyway.

coolblue

11/28/21 2:33pm

Have you never apologized for your children’s behavior when they were young ...

BluesBrother

11/28/21 2:34pm

When they were under 18, yes. Otherwise, no.

Y-Zag

11/28/21 2:40pm

RE: Does not align with our Trojan values? Well, uh, YES it does

Wildcat70

11/28/21 3:20pm

This is an extreme analogy, but please bear with me…

GrumpyCougar

11/28/21 4:05pm

Feel persecuted much?

Michicoug

11/28/21 4:35pm

At least they acknowledged it

BigHouse Coug

11/28/21 1:12pm

Have to make peace among administrations. But it won't change student behavior.

Y-Zag

11/28/21 1:16pm

Did they issue that to ensure they keep jaxson dart…? 😏

4slyce

11/28/21 1:14pm

Is he LDS?

crack

11/28/21 2:13pm

Yep

Yllage Vidiot

11/28/21 2:21pm

They won't.

CougarTailDevourer

11/28/21 2:25pm

I wouldn’t be surprised if he transferred.

Yllage Vidiot

11/28/21 2:32pm

Not with Lincoln Riley coming. I'd be stoked if I was Dart.

Y-Zag

11/28/21 2:40pm

That’s true. He can probably put up with 2 years of USC life for a shot at the NFL. Couldn’t pay me enough to sit in

Yllage Vidiot

11/28/21 2:50pm

^^^ 😂 Thinks football players go to classes ^^^

Shore10

11/28/21 6:06pm

LSU and USC getting into a bidding war for Lincoln Riley?

coot20

11/28/21 6:40pm

“Trojan” values? Maybe it aligns more than they let on.

That’s awesome. Good for the Trojans addressing it. Classy.

D.T. Survivor

11/28/21 1:23pm

The apology shouldn't just be to the BYU program... Jaxon Dart, Vic So'oto, CJ Ah You, and I'm sure others

TheLoneCougar

11/28/21 1:25pm

Would be great if Dart announced he was transferring due to the intolerance at

NJBYUFan

11/28/21 1:28pm

I doubt that happens, lol. But it would also be good for those guys to step up and say they don't appreciate it either.

TheLoneCougar

11/28/21 1:48pm

Katoa, the recently returned missionary couldn’t have been thrilled

travelcoug

11/28/21 1:37pm

Would be great to get him. Isn’t he a legacy kid?

BYU '80

11/28/21 5:26pm

Yep, and his girlfriend is on the soccer team

travelcoug

11/28/21 8:10pm

Well, maybe they aren’t a great fit for the pac12 😉

11/28/21 1:26pm

I just think it was hilarious right after the "USC is inclusive" commercial.

tjngirlz

11/28/21 1:33pm

I’m actually surprised, and will give them credit for putting this out there!

The administration apologized and that’s probably all they can do.

BlueLine

11/28/21 3:11pm

No—We should accept their apology + make a statement of our own about Christ and love and denounce religious persecution

Dr MoBYU

11/28/21 4:08pm

I wonder if they would have dropped the hammer harder on Let’s Go Brandon

Honor Code

11/28/21 3:43pm

Yes

BYU '80

11/28/21 5:27pm

“Distasteful” so that’s what that was. Got it.

Dr MoBYU

11/28/21 3:57pm

Something you’ll never see San Diego St do

ColonelMustard

11/28/21 4:07pm

“Distasteful” kinda sounds like they don’t like what was said but don’t disagree

Bobmarleyjr

11/28/21 4:51pm

Yeah I think that's a bad choice of words

BigHouse Coug

11/28/21 5:55pm

I’m actually pleasantly surprised. Don’t think we ever got one from Stanford

BYU '80

11/28/21 5:23pm

Stanford learned 50 years ago that they couldn’t possibly apologize to everyone the band has offended, so . . .

Yllage Vidiot

11/28/21 5:30pm

Good for them. Also, Trojan values sounds the economy pack at the pharmacy.

Coug Dude

11/28/21 7:52pm

I think USC knows this could hurt their ability to recruit LDS athletes.

Silvex

11/28/21 9:01pm

Could have been a great moment sharing the Law of Chastity. Perhaps a counter-chant of "Not unless we're married"
