Southern California Trojans & the Radisson

a perfectly cooool place to stay!
Every school has these secrets. You KNOW what I mean! The secret of where you can stay that is actually in walking distance from the stadium!

In Gainesville, we found a hotel actually ABOVE the student union on campus! We could even view the SWAMP (football stadium) from our room. At SMU, it’s the Holiday Inn. At the University of Oregon, it’s the Phoenix…. you get the idea… a lot of ‘secrets’ out there.

The University of Southern California is no exception. The big secret is the Radisson Hotel right next to campus! Aaaaah…. it was wonderful to walk into bed right after the game and watch everyone else struggle with the traffic. We have done that before all too many times!

let the good times roll!
Sometimes you take a picture that everyone takes… the rainbow running from one side of the stadium to the other was on everyone’s list! My lovely bride is all smiles in victory and a shot of the entrance to the stadium and the ever present ‘white horse’!

Fight On!

O.J. Simpson was a BRUIN! got proof!

all of my fantasies are gone!

I know it is hard to believe… but as this picture clearly indicates… and pictures don’t lie… O.J. Simpson was really a Bruin all along! Wouldn’t you know it was those dastardly Bruins who would do anything they could to besmerch the Good Trojan Name? How Low can you go?

“UCLA” Simpson seems to have  come into the news  with more problems. The latest is a claim by his lawyers that there is  no evidence against O.J.  Of course, I have been wrong before… I THOUGHT he was guilty the last time.

Another “PR Nightmare” ( as my daughter Karen would say) is Sally Field. Just as they thought it was safe to give her another award…  Sally uses the mike  to confirm that she is one step closer to a full time rubber room…. and trotted out the worn feminist rhetoric:

“Let’s face it. If the mothers ruled the world, there would be no god-damned wars in the first place.”

As for me, I will always remember Sally as the sweet nun who brought more sunshine into the lives of others than she was able to bring to her own… and O.J. as one of the greatest halfbacks of all time … but a street thug and no more. I still think he was a Bruin plant.

Trojans SHUCK the Cornhuskers

Trojans IMPRESS

The game was far different that the score indicated. If it was close it was only in the beginning.

If the Trojan coaches looked at all frustrated … it was the failure of some of the second and third stringers sent in for experience letting them and the team down. Fortunately, they’ll get time to redeem themselves down the road.

Here’s what others are saying:

Southern California Trojans ROMP!

Do I look smug? Yep!

Someone once said,”modesty is the ultimate form of conceit.” So let me add some well deserved praise by saying that the  University of Southern California  is a wonderful school with an  incredible athletic program.  I am proud to have earned two graduate degrees here.

Frankly, I can’t imagine having attended any school that didn’t value athletics. College without athletics is… well…. like going to a one gender school… boring. Now, I know some of my professor friends are happy to go to schools like Cal Poly just because athletics is so devalued… but it is easy to explain their disinterest… they were all picked last in grade school pick-up sports games. Jealousy sometimes lasts a lifetime.

always a fun time on Game Day!

So, when you are thinking about choosing your university experience… find a college that meets your academic interests … but also a place where you can spectate or participate in meaningful athletics. It adds the spice, seasoning & entertainment to any university experience.

Fight On!

Trojan Football is Coming! Step 1 — get tickets!

worth their weight in gold!

Step 1: Get the tickets!

For those who know and care… the time is arriving when your long awaited Southern California Trojan Season Tickets will arrive! This happened to me today!

Step 2: WHO gets to go?

This is always a challenge. Karen has graduated from USC and is now heading for her Ph.D. at the University of Tennessee , so she’s not in consideration. Kristin will probably attend one of the games, my guess will be the USC-UCLA game — which should be a tale of revenge and city bragging rights.

Left over tickets? heh heh, silly bruins.

Step 3: Fight on! Let the season begin!
