What’s Under those Trojan Cheerleader Skirts?

Well... she is wearing 'something'... kinda interesting actuallyHmmmmm… years ago, Grandma Frankie asked me as a little boy, “when did you learn that little girls legs weren’t attached to the bottom of their skirts?”

They’re not?

So, I was on the net the other day and some folks were talking about our ‘virtuous’ Southern California Trojan Lady Song Girls in a terrible way… it was like they went to the ‘Folle Bergeres’ in Paris ( historically, the women danced without underpants… my grandfather at the end of WWI wrote an amusing letter to his mother in Iowa saying he saw the ‘follies’ but she shouldn’t worry… as he caught no ‘cooties’… ha!)

In fact, the ‘debate’ on whether or not she was wearing something under her skirt surpassed talk about those couple of other minor and forgettable bowls this week…

My Professor & esteemed collegue Laura entered the debate by noting that the cheerleader in question was obviously wearing a ‘thong’. Which — to her — made it okay. Since Laura is seldom wrong… I decided that a deeper exploration of the issue was needed.

So after much study… it appears that she is wearing some sort of lacey something… even though I am the father of three daughters I don’t recognize it… in any event, she is wearing…’someTHING’.

Relax boys, this is about as racey as my blog gets.

Fight On! Congrats on THE Grand daddy of ALL Bowls Win… the Rose Bowl!

the Ballad of Urban Meyer …..

it was once called the BCS National Championship Bowl... but not in Urban's mind

It used to be called ‘look for the open man’… but in Meyers ‘playbook’ it is called the ‘spread offense’… or ‘run the qb’ if no one is open… Texas-style.

Every great or wacked Coach neeeeds a song worthy of recalling his deeds and battles… and Urban Meyer is no exception… so with apologies to Johnny Cash and sung to the tune ‘the Rebel’ ( ‘Johnny Yuma’ for you fans of fifties T.V.)… here is:

The Ballad of Urban Meyer

 

Urban Meyer was an ego
He roamed through the BCS
Did Urban Meyer, the ego
think his mouth was enough?

He got Whinin’ mad
This ego’d lad
When they laughed
at his AA coachin’ skills
Where the only play he knew
Was a fake and a qb run
The ego, Urban Meyer

 (Repeat 1st verse)

He searched the BCS
This restless ego
For a bowl quick
that he could win
If he figured he’d get that
if he’d whine just enough
The ego, Urban Meyer

(Repeat 1st verse)

 Whinin’ mad
This ego’d lad
With a dream he’d hold
‘Til his dyin’ breath
He’d claim a win
Just him vs. Ohio State
The ego, Urban Meyer

Southern California Trojans Settle the Burning Question

DJ doing what he does best... pointing out to the defense that they needed to guard him better... then he made his td.Well… I remember the whining… the ‘Urbanizing’ of many blogs that said that the Trojans were unworthy to face big bad Ohio State and that Michigan should get it’s chance…. BECAUSE they really deserved it.

32-18 didn’t settle the National Championship aspirations of the Trojans… but it proved that the Trojans can play with anyone… and on their day… win!

 

“They have a great defense,
but I think we have too many weapons. Can we get to a certain spot, or stretch the field vertically?”— Dwayne Jarrett  

 

From my perspective, the Trojans had it handled easily on defense… the real question for me was whether or not the Trojan offense could get it together. The Rose Bowl made me a believer that John David Booty was coming into his own… and for the first time…  showing real leadership and calm under pressure. He stood tall in the pocket and seemingly impressed the former qb in the t.v. announcers box… and that’s not easy.

The stats didn’t say it all … because after the game was in hand, the Trojans seemed to ease back and run “student body right”… which they didn’t do previously and racked up some rushing yardage… they also let a few go by on defense that may have refelcted the lead… or too much time by the defense on the field. In any event, it wasn’t that close.

Congratulation to the Great USC football team… remember this moment, sovour this time together… it never gets any better than this.

Fight on!

PS. Now the question remains… Ohio State and Florida? This is sort of a civil war around our house… Karen is also a Florida Grad and Laura is a loyal Ohio State fan… as for me… I have already watched THE Game!

But the question remains… what would SC and Ohio State have done if they had met? … And who will Urban Meyer blame if Florida loses? Certainly, Urban is starting to crow early:

“The country wants to see the Southeast Conference champion
against a Big Ten champion.”— Florida coach Urban Meyer
after winning the SEC Championship (12/02/06) 

 

other whines:

Boisie State needs to play a real schedule
Is USC really that good?

Fight On Trojans! Beat Michigan!

Fight On for Ol SC! 

The Rose Bowl has many wonderful traditions including the famous Rose Parade and the traditional New Year’s Football Game in the Rose bowl! No bigger tradition existed than the historical rivalry between the Pac 10 conference and the Big 10 come January!

And the rivalry continues again this year!

Part of the tradition is for the two teams to meet together in many healthy pregame rivalries… here are a few pictures of the Trojans and the Wolverines enjoying themselves at Disneyland!The Rose Bowl means something special to those of us who remember huddling before the Television set or taking in the Rose Parade or game in Person. It is a special place and a unique experience.

Here’s what others are thinking:

Anti-Football Run
In the fray
Tribute to Troy
Steve Smith most Valuable Trojan
How USC reads the Game
How Michigan reads the Game

Fight On!
