TWO OF THE GREATEST USC HISTORIANS

Steve Bisheff and Loel Schrader are two great USC historians. Schrader in particular is a man whose kind words, generosity of spirit, and willingness to pass on knowledge of the Trojans is truly impressive. Unquestionably, to truly understand USC football over the past 30 years one is at a great advantage if he was personally on hand to observe every play, interview each superstar face-to-face, and literally witness the events with his own eyes. Bisheff and Schrader have! This great book is a compilation of all that first-hand knowledge, and I cannot say enough fabulous things about it. I highly recommend this work to any Trojan or college football fan. It is indispensable. Bravo!!

Fantastic Gift

This is a great book by an even greater author Steve Bisheff. I have purchased and enjoyed all his sports books. I'm not a USC fan, but it made a great gift for all my friends that are.

Fight On!! The Colorful Story of USC Football

Good book that captures the Trojan football history. The author has covered Trojan football for newspapers for years. I have always enjoyed his newspaper articles. The book captures a lot of those stories and USC history. USC is a very interesting football program for many years. They have had many ups and downs over the years and the author does a good job telling the stories. It is always understood that once a Trojan you are a Trojan for life. It is a great University that shines in many thing besides football. Book is a good read.

You don't have to be a USC alum

"Fight On" is the rare sports book about a particular university that any football fan can enjoy, rather or not you have a relationship with that school. USC football came alive for me as a result of reading this book. Talk about history! It doesn't get any better than USC vs. Notre Dame. The entire history of the football program is here and the authors are to be commended for giving the casual fan, as well as USC alums and supporters, the ultimate read on USC football.
