Fight On for ‘ol S.C. Trojans ! Beat Notre Dame !

never give up!Most of us can remember some really great football games… in fact, every generation has them.

Whether it be ‘Mr. Inside and Mr. outside’ taking apart every team in the country on the way to Heisman trophies & National Championships… or watching Gary Beban (UCLA) and O.J. (USC) fight it out in the Coliseum… there have been and will be many great spectacles! Notre Dame and the Southern California Trojans always produce something to talk about… and many times, one of us can be found in the playoffs of the National Championships!

Certainly, when comebacks are talked about… one can not forget the great come from behind victory of the Trojans over the Irish a generation ago.

Fighting, never giving up… the drama… the excitement… is what makes great rivalries so important, so memorable…. and so much fun.

The BIG Rivalry Game day is now apon us!

The time for talk, trash talk and speculation is for yesterday.

Today …. today is the day to waken all those Trojans, old Trojans of the past and unite the entire Trojan Nation… for today is special… it’s time to fight the Irish!

 

Fight On!

Southern California Trojans, Notre Dame & TURDUCKEN!

Two Trojan Fans gearing up for the big rivalry game!As if Thanksgiving wasn’t enough to look forward to… we have a football rivalry that could no doubt determine WHO goes to play for the National Championship.

Thanksgiving this year wouldn’t be complete without a TURDUCKEN! Obviously, ol dad has his knives sharpened, his stuffing ready to go and everything else that makes the season memorable!

Kristin is flying over and will go to THE game with us… I am sure that she is earning the envy of all she knows on the big island of Oahu.

As for THE game… here’s what others are saying:

He’s siding with the RIGHT side!
Rootin for USC to lose
a little Trojan in his pants?
Irish Dream: 38 Notre Dame 37 Trojans
sneak Matt Leinart into the game? huh
the biggest rivalry of them all! USC- Notre Dame

Of course, the smartest Notre Dame fans don’t try to shake the Trojan Horse before the game…. Notre Dame Coach Charlie Weis offers ‘praise’ for the Trojans… hmmmm… 

Well, a lot of folks dissing the Trojans… Irish & Wolverines mostly for their own advantage. However, let me say this… no matter how much Urban ‘the legend’ Myer complains… Florida aint that good — besides, after the last of the Zook recruits leaves this year, he’ll have a tough time against the likes of South Florida. As for Michigan… you lost, get over it. Praying for a rematch this late in the game is just boring. Rutgers, Virginia Tech, and Louisville can we say ‘overated?”

The worst the Trojans can do is the Rose Bowl… and that is the ‘Grand Daddy” of them all!

So… let the games begin!

Fight On!

It’s NOW time for the Southern California Trojans and the Irish of Notre Dame!

Edna gives her full attention to the Trojans! Cal and the Southern California football game?

Nah, I never live in the past… it detracts from the now! And the ‘now’ means Notre Dame! Well, we have tickets and I expect that no matter which way the game goes we will see a spectacular football game!

When you think about college football rivalries… there is — of course — Harvard and Yale, Army and Navy… but Southern California Trojans and Notre Dame ranks as one of the best!

Year after year, the winner of this game often ends up fighting for the national championship!

SOoooO… Looking ahead…. I am glad I have tickets!

Fight on!

Trojans & Bears ready to RUuUMmmBLE!

When heading off into a big game, every football player knows there is a spot you need to touch before you enter the field… at Florida it is a Gator and the Trojans have their own. Sooooo, why shouldn’t the crazy football fans in our family have the same opportunity!     

 

Our ‘touchstone’ is a sign “Trojans Forever”.

Trojans Forever

 

 This weekend is going to be the Southern California Trojan’s biggest Challenge. This weekend they face the Bears of California, Berkeley. Berkeley? Yep, they’ve come a long way from the left leaning, protesting, burning bras ( small ones),  and pot smoking days of the 60’s. However, these Bears are not to be underestimated.

 

 However, ‘bear meat’ is in season and it is unusually sweet.

 

 

 Here’s a few official and unoffical observations:

Another November to Remember for USC?  

 

Well, there is another game being played this weekend…. some place back east… you know… on the other side of Colorado somewheres. I hear that the winner may get a chance to play for the National Championship and the loser someone like Rutgers… wherever that is?

Fight On!

Roasted Duck comes Early! USC — 35 Oregon — 10

little trojans... big dreams!Well… finally a ‘cup-cake’ game! We have waited all year since Arkansas for a game that would be decided relatively early… so that we could sit back and enjoy the game!

The game really wasn’t close… and this may seem rather partisan… but the Oregon Ducks showed little class: Number 99 appeared to be thrown out after his second low blow, and after the game, most of the Oregon players just walked and ‘ducked’ into the locker room without shaking hands …and the Oregon coach seemed to waste everyone’s time with unnecessary time outs and questioning and protesting virtually every call.

Sheeeesh! It’s not like he had a chance to pull an “Oklahoma.”

However, roasted duck was very sweet this year!

Here’s what others are saying:

Dissin’ Ducks!
Trojans Pluck Ducks!

Next up: CAL Bears come up next week followed by the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame! Kristin plans to join us to watch the Trojans meet the Irish two days after Thanksgiving!

fight on!
