USC vs. UCLA

Woke up at the crack of dawn Sunday morning to meet a group of friends and other random Angelenos to watch the game projected on a big screen via Slingbox, the coolest invention known to mankind.

USC alums outnumbered UCLA alums by about 5 to 1. With all them Chinese at UCLA, you would've expected a better showing of Bruins. The gathering was held at the "All-Star Restaurant and Bar," a Chinese take on an American
sports themed restaurant. The USC contingent was in full tailgating force: cheering, bragging about their football legacy, dressing in cardinal and gold, and drinking. At 8am. (I'm not judging, I'm just sayin'...).

I'll give USC this: their alumni network is darn impressive
. No matter where you go --whether it's Beijing or the High Desert State Prison in Nevada-- you'll always find a proud member of the Trojan Family.

oh, don't hate, jean. and i think it's very nice of the folks at ucla to give the gambling addict coach a second chance....i'm sure he made lots of money on the game by betting usc....

ummm... rick neuheisel took UW to court and got a 4.7 million settlement. hmmmm. it's those trojans always trying to put a big spotlight on the lies... unlike OJ who has been running and running like they taught him as USC. you always see trojans out in force cause really, they need the backup for brain power... one ucla brain = 10 usc brains so your ratio is about right.
