Take that Ducks!
Ducking Ducks
EUGENE, Ore. -- The door to the visiting coaches' locker room burst open and USC's Pete Carroll strode through singing "The Heart of Rock & Roll," the old hit by Huey Lewis and the News. He -- Carroll, not Lewis -- flopped down in a chair, back against the wall, and switched to "Deep in the Heart of Texas."
As a singer, Carroll is one of the best football coaches in the country.
But you couldn't blame him. No. 1 USC had survived a month's worth of mistakes in the first half and come back from a 13-0 deficit to beat Oregon 45-13 in the Pacific-10 Conference opener for both teams.
"A beautiful win," Carroll said. "It was so important for us." He hopped up and began shedding his clothes for a shower. "All the battles, all the struggles. You need this kind of lesson every year. They are always important. This was a particularly good game for the young guys. We need all this stuff. It would have to happen so that you have the experience. You can take on the next set of challenges."
He wandered into the shower, again singing "Deep in the Heart of Texas."
"He sings after wins," Kiffin said.
That just goes to show there's a dark side to everything.
