-- Giles Pellerin, USC's most loyal fan, died during the Trojans' 34-17 loss to UCLA at the Rose Bowl on Nov. 21, 1998. He was 91.

Pellerin was attending his 797th consecutive Trojans game with his 87-year-old brother, Oliver, when he complained of feeling ill, sports information director Tim Tessalone said.

A retired telephone company executive and longtime resident of Pasadena who had watched every USC game in person, both home and away, since the start of the 1926 season, Pellerin died of cardiac arrest.

The first football game Pellerin ever watched in person was the 1923 Rose Bowl when he was a student at Huntington Park, Calif., High. USC beat Penn State 14-3 that day.

The USC-UCLA series began in 1929, so Pellerin attended each of the 68 games played so far, as well as all 69 USC-Notre Dame games. That streak will end next Saturday night when the Fighting Irish and Trojans meet at the Los Angeles Coliseum.

Also, Pellerin attended each of the 28 Rose Bowl games in which the Trojans have played.
