Alright Twitter Express passengers, this particular voyage will take us on a trip down memory lane so we can relive some of the finer moments in social networking from the USC Trojan athletes. We have been following them all year, bringing you their best tweets every week, tweets that show a side of their personality off the field. From hundreds of tweets we have selected 10 that are just too funny, too poignant, or too bizarre to forget about.
So without further ado, here are the Top 10 Trojan Tweets in 2012:
