Oh, hello there 1-0 conference record, great to see you. It's been a couple years, you look great. Have you lost weight? Anyway, thanks for coming, enjoy the party.
We'll get to the victory links in a second, but first let's just take a moment to bask in how great this looks.
During the offseason, I asked if you knew WSU was going to start 1-1, would you rather beat USC or Auburn. A whopping 66 percent of you said USC and the feeling you have right now is why. Part of it is celebrating a big win for the Cougs, but there is also some joy in seeing USC lose, especially with WSU's history against the Trojans. If USC fan tears are your style, you may enjoy this vlog from a Trojan fan discussing the game (H/T to Britton Ransford)
WSU hasn't beaten USC in the YouTube era, so enjoy your first fan reaction video to the Cougs beating the Trojans. Now for the rest of the victory links.

We had a feeling that USC wasn’t headed the right direction in 2012, when a preseason top-five team stumbled all the way to a 7-6 record. We watched those struggles continue in USC’s opening game of 2013, when Hawaii briefly led the men of Troy 5-2 in the first quarter before the Trojans finally found their footing in an otherwise ugly contest. But it seemed most believed that, in the end, it would turn around. This is USC, after all.
