A small moment of community in the big city fostered by Twitter that folks are busy Retweeting:
Below are USC Coach Pete Carroll’s Tweets for the 24-hour period following popular Trojan running back Stafon’s Johnson’s injury. (They are, as is customary, in reverse order, with the most recent messages on top.)

This was tragic and even Ex-Bruins are praying for Stafon’s full recovery.

That’s great Evan. Thanks for posting the Bruin site.
And well said, Sure Fire. The crosstown rivalry is fun. But, in the end both are our hometown teams, and both belong to all of us.
(And, of course, we would extend the same prayers to a player from OU or the Buckeyes…or…)
