FIGHT ON!
All of you reading this who are on the Jeffrey side of the family know exactly what I'm about to write about :P But for the rest of us who need some educating here it is - USC Trojans dominate!
Even though I got a funny looking sunburn from that headband, we had a blast! Nana Jeffrey had given us tickets to sit with Uncle Ron and Aunt Janet. We arrived on the USC campus a couple hours early to hear the renowned marching band warming up. It was really great, so much energy and enthusiasm! Greg showed me the statues of "Tommy the Trojan" and "Traveler the valiant stead" :) At the start of the game the Trojan stabbed the middle of the field with his sword which was pretty exciting (although I was a little disappointed since Greg and I have watched 300 as well as Troy in the last month). We had a great time eating Uncle Ron's candied almonds and sipping on an ice cold lemonade while enjoying a great game together. As we left the crowded stadium three and a half hours after entering it, the scent of greasy bacon-wrapped hotdogs filled the air. The game was an exciting one ending in a victory for the Trojans over University of Arizona 48-41. (Sorry Andy! - but I did hear that you put your money on USC anyway! :P). The whole day was a wonderful first experience for me, and I think Greg enjoyed brain-washing me a bit too.

I know...my wildcats are just not that good :( But I did bet on USC winning, and if anyone has to beat them it might as well be the Mighty Trojans! I'm so jealous of you guys...glad you had a fun time. Love you guys!
ReplyDelete"Brain-washing" you??!!! I'd rather like to think of it as 'exposing' you to years of tradition and grandeur at The Colliseum, with a huge collegiate fan base... and hopefully some decent football! I watched the game with Nana at her house and we thought of you all often. Tim and I talked with your ex-See Canyon employer at your wedding and he shared how he's a huge fan as well. Trojan fans abound everywhere (even if they attended U of A)... so we hope to have converted you! :) Glad you enjoyed! Fight ON!
ReplyDeleteIf this had a Love Button, I'd push it. :) I read this to Trav aloud and he is extremely jealous. He's NEVER BEEN TO A USC game!!! We need to get him there one day... Love you guys!
