"THE SECOND COMING OF MCKAY"

"This DVD wastes no hype, describing USC football as a religious experience. In describing Pete Carroll's hiring, narrator Roger Springfield says that USC was "delivered" from a wilderness period by "the Second Coming of McKay," Pete Carroll.
It has good featrures, like interviews with Marcus Allen and Craig Fertig, and reveals a death threat against Coach McKay in 1975, but as much fun as it is for Trojan alums, I recommend TROJAN VIDEO GOLD, narrated by Tom Kelly for SC's 100th anniversary in 1988. Kelly is the true voice of SC!
That one was just a little more true to the old days, in my view, but this is still great stuff!
Fight On!

"As an alum I couldnt wait to get this video as soon as it came out. It was entertaining as an overview of the history of 'SC football, but left me hungry for more. Especially more highlights of Marcus Allen, OJ, and the other Heisman winners. Also, some more dwell time on the greatest games vs Notre Dame, UCLA, and the Rose Bowls. Wish it had been a 2-disc set more along the lines of the NFL Films history series now out."
