SAN FRANCISCO -- Practicing at City College of San Francisco this week has brought back some pretty special memories for one member of the USC football staff.
Gary Hyman, a high-energy assistant strength coach in his first year with the Trojans, was a running backs coach with Delta College in 2008, when the Mustangs won the northern California championship by beating City College of San Francisco in the Hawaiian Punch Bowl.
The game, played on the same field the Trojans have been practicing on all week in preparation for the Emerald Bowl, ended with an upset victory for Hyman and Delta College, which crushed the better-stocked home team, 36-14. Delta College had one player go on to Division I following the '08 season, while City College of San Francisco had nine, Hyman said.
"I couldn't have picked a better way to go out than beating them," Hyman said.
