In the old days, college athletic fans were limited to standard media sources like television and newspapers. Thanks to the internet, those original sources are now complimented by a virtually countless and evolving supply of alternative sources. Not only can fans find many more sources of information (running the wide range from professional to immature), now they can also interact in many ways. Since 1996, FIGHTON.com has served as a collection of links to web sites revolving around USC and it's athletic programs. Here, you will find a simple home base where you don't need bookmarks or to remember URLs - a reliable base where you don't have to worry about pop-ups and spyware.

Fans interested in the "official" word can check in at the USCTrojans.com web site. Ryan at USCFootball.com and Garry at WeAreSC.com have assembled outstanding staffs of multiple writers and contributors, with both sites supplying a steady stream of news and commentary. Those looking for regular updates on USC sports can check numerous sites from FIGHTON.com that link to, or summarize news and articles including Tirebiter's News links at WeAreSC, Mark's headlines and links at TributeToTroy, and/or TOPDJ's updates. Those looking to interact on message boards have numerous choices including bulletin boards like Garry's moderated Board at WeAreSC, TFO, and Ryan's USCFootball.com Board. Basketball fans have a home at Brian's USCHoops.com, while fans of recruiting might enjoy the discussions at Java's WildWest Board. And don't miss the web site of the infamous Thundering Herd.

There is also a collection of links to blogs that provide excellent browsing, spanning a wide spectrum ranging from insiders and some of the local beat writers with the best connections (and numerous current USC students that blog and write like pros), to the sometimes random or blunt opinions of a range of bloggers.

I use the site myself virtually every day (at least the days I am at a computer with internet access) to surf the many USC oriented web sites, as do thousands of others. I accept only text advertising (no pop-ups and graphical advertising) that are complimentary to the site and potentially useful for users to offset my time and expenses in maintaining the site. I also get a commission from Amazon.com if you buy something there after linking from fighton.com. If you are a Trojan alum with a web business, feel free to drop me an email with your web site address - I'm generally happy to include a link to your site.

I've included more about the history of FightOn.com here. My day job is providing unbiased and commission free investment advice and you can read more about me at my company web site or at my other part-time web site InvestorHome.com (which has been cited in a diverse collection of financial media sources including Forbes, Barron's, peer-reviewed Journals, multiple best selling books and on CNBC).

Feel free to email me with suggestions, or if you are want to check what competitive interest rates are currently available on various investments (which I regularly scan for my clients), get a second opinion on your finances, or to chat about the stock and/or bond markets (special treatment for users of this site). My email address is "gary" symbol for 'at' "fighton.com" (sorry for being criptic, problems with spam in the past).

Enjoy your stay and Fight On!
