In Steve We Trust

An article I just read today in the LA Times just confirmed why Steve Sample is the greatest University President known to man. Anyone who has been following the stories of an NFL team returning to LA should know that many are planning to put the NFL team back into the Coliseum, leaving most Trojan fans thinking what about us? Well good 'ol President Sample sent a letter to the NFL yesterday letting them know that they will not leave USC out in the cold and that we will continue playing football in the Coliseum.

I personally would rather just see the new NFL team move into some new stadium in Anaheim. Renovating the Coliseum involves pushing USC football out for at least two years, and when we return there will 12,000 less seats. Yeah and you know they're not going to cut 12,000 season tickets. So future students will have to fight each other to get into games because I'm sure that they will just sell fewer students seats.

Who the hell needs an NFL team in LA...we've already got USC! :o)

It's Starting Already!!!

Football Season! I know what you're thinking... Reet it's only May and the NBA playoffs aren't even over. But I tell ya that football is starting and I'm going to enjoy every bit of it. OK so right now there's just ridiculously early rankings speculation and NFL pre-season camps. But dammit it's football! Fox Sports has already started their 119 teams in 119 days preview of everything D-1 football. Of course right now they're previewing teams like Idaho, Kent State, New Mexico State and Florida Atlantic. And sure they won't be talking about a team from the Pac-10 until June 26th (and do even Husky fans REALLY care about football?) And it's very true they will not discuss my beloved Trojans until August 30th. But hey it's something to read. And since as soon as I get really excited about the NBA, the teams that I want to win will lose, I'll stick to just checking the scores every couple of games. I'll watch the finals as long as it's not the Spurs vs. Pistons (because really, we've already seen that, it's not exciting to anyone outside of Detroit & San Antonio). So I'll stick to enjoying my obscure stories about the USC depth chart, which number Reggie will wear in New Orleans and how Matty, Lendale & Darnell are doing in mini-camp. This should hold me over for a while. It's almost time for football people...it's a celebration bitches!!!

Why Ya Bullshittin...

OK so even though I'm really done with school, you know I'm tryna get all my grades back so that I know for sure that it's official. Why is everybody messin with me right now? One professor is saying that I'll get my grade next week and the other says that I won't be able to see my grade until May 30th and it won't officially post to the University until LATE JUNE!!!! Stop bullshittin right now, I need my degree to post. Whatever I'm done with these people, I just need them to stop prolonging the inevitable....I'S FREE! :O)

You Will Be Missed

Today USC freshman point guard Ryan Francis was shot and killed while visiting his mom in Baton Rouge. He will definitely be missed. I didn't know him personally, but I have heard nothing but great things about the guy and he was definitely handling his business on the basketball court. Along with his teammates he was bringing some life back to the USC men's basketball team. This year he was given the John Rudometkin Award, honoring the player who always gave 110% effort. From what I've heard of him he was a great player and person and the entire Trojan family sends our prayers to his family. Rest in Peace Ryan....

One Down...Two to Go...

Got one grade back.... A-!!! Brilliant! One A- down, two to go...

I'M FREE CHEESY BREAD I'M FREE!!!!

It's official...I'm so done with this madness. I'm over here bouncing off the walls. OK well it's not officially over until I get my grades back but dammit if I don't get the grades I need I'm gonna need to just have some discussions with my professors cuz I'm SO done with school. Of course I had to go through the world's longest final to get to the finish line. How about I wrote 20 pages in 2 hours. My hand still hurts and that was almost four hours ago. Now I don't have shit to do with myself but kick it...and I'm loving it. I accept all types of gifts except rubber checks. :o)

IT'S A CELEBRATION BITCHES!!!!

One Step Closer...

So I just murder death killed my first final and I am one exam away from complete freedom. It's going to take all of the strength within me to not just blow off the test and feel like I'm free, but if I do blow off the test and I screw it up, then I won't be free. But I'll worry about that in a little while. For now I'm just extra happy that I finished another exam and that I feel like I got damn near every question completely right. If I didn't get an A on this exam, then I don't know what an A is...oh happy day.

Oh yeah btw.... Feliz Cinco de Mayo!!! :o)

My New Favorite NFL Teams

So I'm officially a New Orleans Saints fan. You knew that was coming...or at least you should have known by now.

I will also be cheering for the Arizona Cardinals and Tennessee Titans, when they're not playing the Saints of course.

I may be a slight Titans hater for a while because of the idiot from Texas that they drafted first, but in the long run I'm willing to overlook that decision. LenDale is playing with a chip on his shoulder and we all know what goes down when he's mad. God help the opposing team's defensive coordinators. I also now have a much better reason to watch Raiders' games again. Darnell is a Raider...YAAAAAY! I love the NFL draft. But now I'm sad. I have nothing football related to talk about until July at the earliest. This sucks.

Side note: I need the USC football team to get it together. Just because you lose a game doesn't mean you can lose your mind and go all to hell. I still see us going to a BCS Bowl. I prefer the Sugar Bowl or another trip to the Orange Bowl. At least this time I would have the money to go to the game. In Pete We Trust.
