Onepeat hits the streets
You remember Onepeat, don't you? Well, it's hit the streets.

The Trojies are not happy, although their attempt at being above it all is priceless for its transparency.

A great counterpoint
Well, it's very reasonable to assume that a good portion of the people who gave money to onepeat.com wouldn't have given their money to the relief fund, because, obviously, they're using their extra money for a billboard.
So it's safe to say that a good portion of that $2,625 wouldn't have been given to the relief fund without the incentive of the billboard pointing out USC only won one national championship during its "dynasty."
Also, one of the many Web sites that was created in response to onepeat.com is ForaWorthyCause.com, which says it will donate all funds to the Save the Children charity. That Web site has only raised a measly $720 - about one-fourth as much as onepeat.com plans to give to the hurricane relief fund.
And, by the way, you can credit onepeat.com with being the original reason that the $720 was raised (and any other future donations to the Web site), since ForaWorthyCause.com was launched in response to onepeat.com. Are the onepeat.com guys saints? Of course not. Their main goal was to build the billboard, not to raise money for hurricane victims. But it's very cool that onepeat.com is going to have a charitable impact as well, even if it's not an overly large one.

Well...
USC got the shots it deserved - the Trojans did not deserve a BCS Championship game slot in 2003, in my opinion, and it got its championship in 2004, and lost in 2005. The only 'slight' of SC that one could argue about was in 2003, but the truth was that strength of schedule's influence is what kept the Trojans out, not any east coast bias (in fact, the Trojans were first in both polls, suggesting that DESPITE national and media opinion they were unable to get in, not because of it).
I agree with one thing from the trojan article...
