K-State Rival Has "The Itch"

Report: USC dealing with jock itch outbreak

It's not as serious as, say, starting quarterback Mark Sanchez's dislocated kneecap, but the USC Trojans are suffering a new rash of injuries.

According to a report in the Los Angeles Times, as much as 25% of the team has been affected by a run of tinea cruris, known more colloquially as "jock itch."

Head coach Pete Carroll told the Times he'd never seen anything like the current outbreak and pointed a finger at new compression shorts the team has been wearing underneath their football pants.

"We've had to adjust to some new equipment that we're wearing that didn't work out right," Carroll said. "It's funny how that happened."

You'll forgive tailback Joe McKnight and wide receiver Travon Patterson if they aren't laughing. Both were unable to practice Wednesday because of the severity of the irritation.

"It burns," Patterson said.

"Sometimes they can't walk," said tailback Stafon Johnson. "I don't know what it is, but I'm staying away from it."

Those dumbasses complain to the media instead of buying some f-ing spray first.

I've heard a sure fire way to get rid of it is soaking the "infected area" in listerine mouth wash...   Been wanting to test it out, but not badly enough to seek out getting jock itch.  Someone try that and let me know how it works out.   Watch the dick hole though, I imagine that would burn.

Cutting the whole infected area off with a pocket knife would also work and feel about the same imo.     I can't even hold Listerine in my mouth for more than 15 seconds without crying.
