Jim Rome: USC fans ‘will pick beach over football every single time’
A quiet Week 0 of the college football season led the paltry attendance at USC”s home opener at the Coliseum to become a national storyline, but lifelong Angeleno Jim Rome wasn’t surprised whatsoever.

USC fans are prioritizing the beach over football during the college football season's Week 0, according to lifelong Angeleno, Jim Rome. On The Jim Rome Show, Rome declared that even the athletic department's statement about the weak attendance wouldn't change the situation. Rome explained that if the temperature is over a million degrees and USC is playing San Jose State, fans will still choose the beach over football.
He acknowledged that the situation might not be a traditional sports town but added that Los Angeles is still the best town of front-runners in the world. The low attendance during USC's home opener at the Coliseum, which was nearly 93 degrees and the Trojans were a nearly 40-point favorite over San Jose State, shows that USC fans will choose the beach over football every single time until the team does something worth showing up for.
