As many of you know, I answer nearly every email sent to me by readers at usctrojans.moore@gmail.com.
In some cases, the questions are so good that I'm guessing you will all be curious to know the answer.
Here's a question from Greg Katz: "Does USC have to get permission from the home school in order for the Drum Major to stab the ground at midfield before away games?"
Blog contributor Stephanie Graves is also a member of the Spirit of Troy, so she looked into it.
Apparently, no one argues with a man carrying a sword.
The Trojans have been doing it for decades and it has become an expected part of the tradition that makes USC and college football so special.
However, always the contrarian, Stanford makes the Drum Major take a breathalyzer test before the game. Ah, rivalries...

"However, always the contrarian, Stanford makes the Drum Major take a breathalyzer test before the game."
Stanford should make their own BAND take the test!!
Stanford needs to pull the stick out of their collective asses.
SoCal Ray
Stanford needs to DRUG TEST their band.
makes as much sense as their mostly white student section/band giving our band the nazi salute when it plays.(at the coliseum no less) They are a despicable bunch. I pray that lane kiffin turns back the clock to about 2003 and pounds the 'dorf in humiliating fashion next year. Stanford,Jr, Sr and Herbert Hoover- all rolling in their graves
How can I get a sword like yours? I would love to hang one above my TV befor every game!!!! And so when rival family members come over, I can plant it in my frony yard befor I grant them permisson to enter my home!!!:)
