It is over. The last USC football home game to air on Pac-12 Network is over.

It has been oppressive and annoying and frustrating for the Trojan fan base over more than a decade. The visibility of USC football has been negatively affected by Pac-12 Network. Not being able to easily watch USC has been a constant and legitimate source of irritation. This year, not being able to see Caleb Williams play football has been infuriating for USC fans who live outside the Western United States and the Pac-12 geographical footprint. Larry Scott’s legacy, and the network he stood by in spite of its commercial failures, is forever connected to this network, even though Scott hasn’t officially led the Pac-12 Conference for two years.

Memories run deep, and the Pac-12 Network has made it harder for USC fans to cling to memories of the Trojans on the gridiron.

Here’s how USC fans and the larger football-viewing public reacted to the last USC home football game to air on Pac-12 Network. Early-game glitches did not improve anyone’s mood, but everyone is glad this association with the network is coming to an end:
