[NU Sports] The Real Evil Empire

[hakirsch at aol.com]

And I believe the Evil Empire term for a sports team was first coined by John Henry regarding the NY Yankees when he became owner of the Boston Red Sox.   Happy to see it applied as well to ND and/or USC

But I guess the real credit for the term would go to USC grad George Lucas in Star Wars

Someone on this list coined the "evil empire" for the ND - but I think the pain of that first Rose Bowl probably expanded the definition to include U$C altho I remember most of us using U$C for that gang of cutthroats in LA.

Sorry, but as I've been saying for years, SC is the real evil empire. Violations of amateurism rules. Lack of institutional control. A moronic and pompous athletic director whose reaction to the NCAA findings was, "I read between the lines, and there was nothing but a lot of envy. They wish they were all Trojans." Some may be amazed by Mike Garrett's arrogant words, but I am not surprised. SC is true evil.
