		<description><![CDATA[When goalkeeper Joel Dennerley left the pool after defeating UCLA 7-4 on Sunday Dec. 4, 2011, he could call himself a national champion — four times over.

		<description><![CDATA[History lessons have a way of awakening the details that get lost in the depths of sports fans’ memories. For instance, if you watched Alabama’s 21-0 drubbing of rival LSU in last week’s BCS National Championship Game, you should have felt a connection to the cardinal and gold. No, junior quarterback Matt Barkley wasn’t slinging [...]]]></description>

A promising career derailed yet again by another injury.  Senior guard Jacki Gemelos tore  her anterior cruciate ligament against Texas A&#38;M back in mid-December. Another season lost, another surgery and another year of rehab. This was supposed to be the year the USC women’s basketball team took the next [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Jan.12, 2010, USC announced Lane Kiffin as the head coach of the USC football program. The decision left some scratching their heads. Sure, Kiffin had previously been involved with the football team serving under then-head coach Pete Carroll.

		<description><![CDATA[Washington coach Steve Sarkisian started a little bit of gamesmanship and a whole lot of confusion last week when he said he’d take USC junior quarterback Matt Barkley over Stanford quarterback and Heisman-favorite Andrew Luck if he were picking in the NFL draft.

None of those circumstances exactly forecasted a strong turnout from the Trojan faithful, as later indicated by the announced attendance of 64,576 — the lowest number for a homecoming game [...]]]></description>
