Ah...the cache has been strong longer than the PC era...we seem to come back again in time for these kid's parents to remember all the glory, pageantry and winning. Pete told us that his big sell in recruiting after those dark, dark Hacket years was the fact that USC had just won "2000 College of the Year" by the Princeton Review and Time Magazine..that, and the tradition, which he focused on the parents, and selling the kids that they had a great opportunity to bring USC back to former glory.
I think it also helps that our former players, going way back, are so involved in the program - visible and supporting the university, they also have their own very powerful support club for former players only. I know Nelson Agholor was absolutely star struck to see guys like Ronnie Lott, Marcus Allen, Tony Boseli, Sam "Bam" Cunningham, Anthony Munoz, the late Junior Seau, etc on the sidelines of the spring game.
We may not have the nicest, loudest stadium, but at any give game, you will see Trojan players that are Pro HOFers on the sidelines or sitting in the stands. I've counted up to five at one single game. Kids love this.
