There's a reason that LA doesn't have a professional football team, there's no bigger group of bandwagon fans than SoCal.
I will admit it's nice being able to get decent Lakers tickets now though
My point, they will shut up after a couple bad years. However, this year, the talk is about how much we need a playoff system, ie: USC should be in the championship game every year. Whereas in the past when they have been highly ranked that conversation doesn't take place.
Just like any team/school etc... they have a lot of "true fans" people who have had season tickets for years, and a bunch of drunken bandwagon fans who will jump ship if they start to lose or will sell their tickets if they can make a buck.

USC bandwagon types(the average fan you will run into) are not all that different from your average fan of DaU. I find myself feeling guilty about wishing for earthquakes and hurricanes after most encounters with each.
I don't really want innocent people to suffer through something like that but the thought it might get a large portion of USC or Miami's fanbase does make me linger on the thought longer than is appropriate.
