Lo and behold, there was a sellout crowd at the Great Western Forum for Sunday night's Kings game. And did they ever get their money's worth.

Especially one particular Cub Scout pack.

During a break in the action in the midst of the Kings' home opener against the Ottawa Senators, the classic Van Halen tune "Beautiful Girls" blared over the loud speakers.

Fans of all ages, colors and creeds danced and sung along as Forum camera crews panned the seats. The camera's feed went directly to the huge jumbotron scoreboard above.

One "beautiful girl" was singled out by a camera operator because, oh, let's just say she was ... blessed.

She danced on-screen as 16,000-plus fans looked on. Then she did the unthinkable.

Up went her shirt and bah boom! I understand the crowd roared like never before.

Something similar happened last season at a Mighty Ducks game. When a well-endowed women sang the national anthem and her left-unit popped out before a sellout crowd and cable audience.

But those cub scouts at the Forum got a glimpse of something real special on Sunday. So much for patches and merit badges for tying knots and helping old ladies across the street.

How about one for peepin'?

Apparently, USC no longer believes in tradition.

Its football program, which was once at the highest possible level for years, has been demoted to the lowest of the low.

This is now painfully obvious after the embarrassing loss to equally weak Arizona State, Saturday.

It says a lot about a team when the fifth game of the season determines the possibility of a Rose Bowl bid. Simply put, the Trojans could not afford another loss that early in the season.

But this less-than-mediocre Trojan team dug itself into a hole too deep this year.

Just watching USC in recent years makes for one question. How it could have been such a nationally powerful team in the past, and now be at the rate of a community college team.

Even schools who have "rebuilding years" still retain chances to advance to a bowl game of some importance. But the point is that with these schools, success never leaves.

Michigan, Miami or Notre Dame could have a faulty season and then come roaring back.

Not USC, though, their mediocrity is quickly becoming tradition.
