Work out a home-home series with UCLA
Would be great on many levels.
100% agree...this was my thought when the series ending was first hinted...
too me it's similar to the middle finger we'd give michigan if we set up an annual series with Tosu instead of them.
I think having Tosu, Clemson, and UCLA as your core 3 on the schedule every season with teams like Texas, A&M, Miami, FSU rotating on n off would be a very nice format.
I agree.
Pasadena, and the Eose Bowl, are awesome.
I'd sign them to a 20 year contract.

I'd much rather see them in a playoff game in South Bend in late December.
Night game. Around 25 degrees at kickoff. 15mph wind.
What a great idea!!!

As they slide into Nebraska-like mediocrity, they'll regret this decision in years to come.

Remind me... whatever happened to "The U" after they left our schedule.
LA is no longer a desired destination anyway. Let's sign the Longhorns up for a long and prosperous rivalry.
Clemson teabags USC as a nice decade rivalry. I don't want our players getting stabbed

Yes.
They're giant pussies.
Right, on both counts.
We need to pound them this year, as a proper send-off.
This year and next year.
Run up the score and humiliate them.
I can't believe the alums there are ok with this.
This series ain't over until we have a redo of 4th & 9 and 4th & 8 (1964).
I detest everything about USC. Their school colors. Their unies. That damn horse. The Coliseum. Tommy Trojan. Pete Carroll. All their Heisman winners. Rod Sherman. Their band. Their fight song. Everything. I just don't love this rivalry, I love love this rivalry. It was must see TV no matter the records.The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. I wouldn't want it any other way. Darn them anyway. As far as the Song Girls, they are always invited back to the stadium.

I agree with everything you said about SC and have had to endure living it in SoCal. My first ND-SC game was 1953 (I was 7 years old) and Joe Heap ran a kickoff back 94 yards for a TD to lead Leahy's last team to a 42-14 victory. I was at the 1964 game when ND right tackle Bob Meeker was called for mysterious holding penalty inside their 5 yard line nullifying a ND score early in the 4th quarter TD which would have put ND up 24-0 and Ara would have an undefeated national championship in his first year. I was also present at the Coliseum for ND debacles in 1974 and 2014. But, their were many fond memories too: in 1965 the famous "revenge" game with Nick Eddy, Larry Conjar and Bill Wolski beating them into the ground in South Bend; Eric Peniick's 85 yard run; Joe Montana thumping them in 1977 for a Natty; Tony Rice's 65 yard scamper to a TD and a Natty in 1988; and, last year's two 100-yard TD interceptions leading Coach Freeman's to a national championship game. I think SC's is dropping the series because they are fearful thet ND is now entering an era of dominance under Caoch Freeman!
Mysterious penelties have gone back that far! I need that footage for my video to present at the
pearly gates.....

How could I forget....Eric Penick's run also led to a Natty for Ara and I missed the 1966 51-0 blowout for Ara's first Natty. Unfortunately I missed the 1966 game because I was in Vietnam...
