I thought I was dreaming! The whole thing went down so fast, hearing rumors all day, on radio shows different opinions, and then in the early evening it went down like a comic flying through the sky! I forgot to eat dinner, take a shower, and I felt like I was on drugs, just in disbelieve that we got Kiffin, and the great team of assistants! The icing on the cake was news that said SC is trying to get Norm Chow back! This is better than SEX! Fight ON! I am ready for the season and to beat down Stanford and the rest of the Pac-10, bring the trophies home!
"Trojan Nation"?????
Wow, that is as bad as saying Southern Cal!
It's Trojan Family! This "Nation" thing is not indicative of the closeness and depth of USC's great students, staff, fans and alums. Fight On!
