While working at the old Downy Southeast News, I could cover some major league sports - on my own time. The Jan. 7, 1979 NFC Championship game at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum was not a classic. Dallas clobbered the Rams 28-0.

Oh well, as least the Rams are back. Yea!

Current USC Athletic Director Pat Haden (11) got pressured a lot. Check out the next three photos.
