Hey Gang:
Sorry for the last-minute post, hope you have all enjoyed your holidays so far. It has been crazy for me with my Mom visiting from Maui, and getting my new business up and running before the new year.
Anyway, for those interested, we will be watching the Rose Bowl game at the NEW J. P. Looney's at the corner of Hwy 68 & 150 in Oak Ridge. I like the fact the place in non-smoking.
Here is a Yahoo! Map. Hope to see you there!
Fight On and BEAT the Lions!

UCLA Party At My House!
Hey Triad Trojans:
Well, there went the Irish and their "coach" Charlie Weis. After 14 years of Notre Dame hell, I am very happy to see Pete Carroll exacting revenge year after year. By the way, during that stretch, the Irish NEVER dominated the Trojans year after year like Pete has over the Irish. The separation between us and the Irish is back down to single digits, so we may very well see USC have a winning record vs. the Irish for the first time ever, wouldn't that be sweet?
We will be hosting the UCLA game viewing party at our house. My wife, Sylvia will be making chilli and a dessert, so bring a side or something to snack and share with the rest and come watch our Trojans put down the Westwood powders on our way to another BCS bowl game.

Happy Thanksgiving & UCLA Game
Happy Thanksgiving Triad Trojans!
Since the Notre Dame game is on late, and it's Thanksgiving weekend, we'll have our "big game" party for the UCLA game at my house! Space is limited, so RSVP ASAP and let me know how many of your are coming over.
The fare will be pot-luck, so bring some great appetizers and let me know what they are so we don't have "repeats." Sylvia plans on making some chili and a dessert, so take it from there.
Hope to see you for the game! If you have any questions, email me at: GSOTrojan@aol.com, I'll give you our address.

After A Feast At The Farm, A Week To Breathe...
Then on to the home stretch...the Rivals!! Our third and final bye week of the season, time to heal a bit for the final frames....
We need a few breaks for the Trojans to even sniff the BCS Championship game, but crazier things have happened. A good start would be Oklahoma to beat Texas Tech, and of course, Florida to beat Alabama. We'll see how things shake out.
The Rose Bowl's biggest nightmare is Oregon State and Penn State both winning out, which would put them in a rematch in the Rose Bowl, a game the Beavers lost 45-14 earlier in the year in Happy Valley (though I believe the Beavs would take the rematch, now with the emergence of Quizz Rogers).

Trojans vs. DA BEARS!
Well Trojans, it's crunch time! Time to separate the Men (of Troy) from the Ladies (you tree-hugging communist hippies!). The Bears head down to the Coliseum where the Trojans, pissed about being dropped two places in the BCS after demolishing hapless Washington, seek to gain a measure of respect by crushing #21 California affectionately known by ESPN talking head Reece Davis as the "Fighting Tedfords."
"I think it stinks," Head Coach Pete Carroll said about the BCS.
Statistically, USC is the #1 defense in total yards, scoring defense, passing efficiency and rushing defense. Of course, three of those games (all shutouts) were against teams that are 3-22 on the year (ASU, WSU, UW). Still, the Trojans have only allowed 7 TDs in 8 games, 4 of those were to Oregon State, and two of those "drives" were 5 yards and 15 yards.
Another memorable stat, since arriving at USC, Pete Carroll has never lost a game in November. Ever. (The UCLA loss was in December)
Bob B. mentioned he was going to be at the NEW J.P. Looneys in Oak Ridge if anyone cares to join him, the game is on 8:00 PM.
Fight On and BEAT the Bears!

Homecoming Week
Hey Trojans:
I'll take the "Dubya in the Desert," and maintain our position at the top of the Pac-10.
On the downside, the Buckeyes didn't help our cause by losing to Penn State at the Horseshoe. The Trojans really needed PSU to lose to help their cause, and with as bad as the B-10 has been, the Nittany Lions should cruise the rest of the season unscathed. This does not bode well for USC's chances to get into the BCS Championship Game. Truth be told, I would love to see Oregon State win out, USC get to the top 4 in the BCS rankings, then get invited to the Sugar Bowl to play an SEC team there. If another B-10 team makes the BCSCG, it will be one of the lowest rated bowls of the season. A USC/SEC tilt...MONSTER ratings!
This week is Homecoming Week and we face the worst division one team in the country in the soon-to-be Ty Willingham-less, Washington Huskies. Don't get me wrong, I like Ty, and any coach who can get Stanford to the Rose Bowl in the BCS era can't be THAT bad. In his defense, the Huskies schedule the last three years has done him NO FAVORS, it has been ranked in the top 5 toughest every season since TW has been there. Not an easy task for a coach trying to rebuild a program. Anyway, the game is scheduled for 6:30 PM and will be broadcast on Fox Sports. Since the rest of the Trojan games are in California, and Pete Carroll has NEVER lost a game in November at his time in Troy, things look good from here on out with home games against Cal and Notre Dame, along with the Husky tilt. Enjoy.

Pac-10 Separation Saturday
Hey Trojans:
This weekend begins "separation Saturday" in the Pac-10 as the Trojans and Wildcats, both at 3-1 look to get on top of the conference which has 5 teams all with 1 loss. Along with the Trojans and Wildcats, join the Ducks, Beavers and Bears. None of those teams play each other this week with the Beavers taking a bye. The Bears scrap with Skippy and his bRUINS and the Ducks take on a reeling Arizona State group which is falling from high expectations.
Arizona will be a good road test, they are a much improved team and their offense is second in the conference scoring just over 40 points/game. USC leads that stat at just over 44 points/game. Of course, USC will be the best defense the Wildcats will face all season as the Trojans lead the country in scoring defense (7.8 points per game with back to back shutouts the last 2 weeks) and passing defense (137 yds/game).
We also need to pull for Ohio State to beat Penn State at the 'Shoe (and Terelle Pryor is much improved and Beanie Wells is getting back into the lineup), as well as Virginia and (barf) Notre Dame. Our non-conference opponents need to keep winning to boost our SOS, and strange as it may seem, we need Oregon State to win out too, thereby negating the perception that it was a "bad loos" by USC. By the way, 2 of OSU's three losses were on the road at #3 Penn State and #11 Utah. If the Beavers had played Eastern Washington and Idaho (like an SEC team would play UL-Monroe, North Texas, The Citadel, etc.) the Beavs would have only the one loss on the road vs. Stanford. Here is an interesting article by Ted Miller on ESPN that nails it.

I Feel Bad For The Cougs...
They are just a horrible, horrible team. I haven't even watched the replay of the game yet, I was at a wonderful day-retreat at a place called, Meadows of Dan, Virginia. It is about 90 minutes from Greensboro, just past Martinsville and right on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Friends of ours have a cabin up there and it is just spectacular! They are at the peak of Fall and the colors are just breathtaking! This was one of the reasons I moved my family from Maui, so they could experience the change in seasons. Days like this make it all worthwhile.
Anyway, not much to take away from a game against a team that has given up over 60 points its last 4 games. Paul Wulff certainly has his work cut out for him.
Next game is another biggie as the Trojans head to the desert to play enigmatic Arizona, who knocked off Cal late Saturday night. They feature another "smurf" a la Jacquizz Rogers of OSU, which makes me a little nervous, but I just don't see USC getting beat again this year. The OSU game was the perfect trap game, coming off a big win in a nationally televised game against a worthy opponent, to go on the first conference road game against a team that just got blown out by Penn State 45-14. USC was looking ahead, no doubt, and Pete's teams ALWAYS struggle in their first conference road game every season. I don't see any team being able to stay within 14 points of the Trojans until maybe bowl season. Sure, stranger things have happened, but there is still a lot of opportunity for teams ahead of the Trojans to stumble, so they need to play like every game is to get into the BCSCG.
Since the Trojan/Wildcat tilt STARTS at 10:15 pm (yawn), no get together will happen.

Ahhh...the arrival of the Carolina Autumn...
Hey Trojans:
Can you feel it (well, not this week until tomorrow, anyway), Autumn is here! Cool, crisp days leading into chilly nights. The leaves are beginning their annual colorful transformation before departing altogether for the winter. Just my favorite time of the year.
We just got back from a 10-day vacation that had us visiting Columbia, SC, Savannah, GA, Ft. Lauderdale, FL, Daytona Beach, FL and Charlotte, NC. It was our first time visiting many of those places, so that was great...except I missed seeing the Oregon and ASU games, which sucks. So that is why I haven't been able to make any of the games in W-S this season.
The Wazzu game is on early and on Fox Sports, but I am thinking of making the BIG game party the UCLA game on 12/6. The Notre Dame game is tougher to get folks for since it is Thanksgiving weekend.
Fight On and BEAT the Cougars!

USC vs. Oregon
Hey Gang:
Just a quick FYI, we will be unable to attend either the Oktoberfest (damn, I wanted to sport my lederhosen and my hutte!) or the USC/Oregon game at Fox and Hound.
That doesn't mean you shouldn't go! GO, have a GREAT time and cheer on our Trojans!!
Fight On and SMACK the Quacks!

It's DUCK Season!!!
Hey Trojans!
It's time for the Pac-10's most contentious rivalry between Pete Carroll and Mike Belotti. The Ducks are coming off a beatdown of Wazzu, and the Trojans are limping back home after a(nother) devastating loss in Corvalis (the second in a row). Here is a lil' YouTube clip of Pete telling Belotti off...(NSFW)
After seeing 3 other top 10 teams fall over the weekend in Georgia, Florida and Wisconsin, there is still PLENTY of football to be played and despite what the pundits say, nothing is close to being decided yet.
There is a fun event in Winston-Salem prior to the USC/Duck tilt, the Triad German Club's annual Oktoberfest. Since my wife is German, we may make it out that way for the festivities.
Hope to see you there!

CONGRATS to the Beavers...
To Mikey Riley and the Beavers, congrats on an outstanding victory for your program.
Truth be told, Coach Riley is my second favorite coach in the Pac-10...I liked him when he was at SC, and he would have been a hell of lot better choice than Paul "Can't" Hackett.
Still a LOT of football left to be played, so who knows what happens from here, kind of funny the Rose Bowl has become "disappointing" for Trojan fans. The first conference road trip trap shows its ugly head again.
ONE game at a time, BEAT the Ducks!

COMPLETE Satisfaction...
What a game, what a team, what a win! My only regret was not being able to go to the Fox and Hound in Winston-Salem because I know that is a BIG Ohio State fan hangout. Oh well.
Hope y'all enjoyed the game (who COULDN'T have?), and like Mark Sanchez said, we left points on the field. The team needs to remain as focused for every subsequent game as they did for this one in order to get to Miami.
The Pac-10 was HORRIBLE this past week, and the conference is an embarrassing 0-5 vs. MWC teams. This is why I worry because the team can't expect the conference to curl up its toes when they play the Trojans, they'll get everyone's best shot. That being said, on paper (and barring a significant injury to Mark Sanchez) there isn't another team on our schedule that should beat the Trojans.
Another BYE week this week, then an unusual Thursday night game on the road vs. the Beavers whom USC lost to two years ago.

USC vs. Ohio State Game Week!
It's HERE! The most anticipated non-conference matchup of the season between our beloved Trojans, and those boys from the midwest, the Buckeyes.
Truth be told, after watching tlOSU ("The LITTLE Ohio State University") waffle around with the Ohio U. Bobcats to a whopping 26-14 win (the Luckeyes were behind 14-12 at the end of the third quarter), it seems like USC has already won this game mentally. The Trojans are in the Buckeyes' heads. There is now serious doubts in the minds of these OSU players since they struggled against a very mediocre MAC team, how are they going to handle a behemoth in the Trojans? They aren't. I watched the Ohio OL manhandle the OSU D, and even when Boeckman had time for the Buckeyes, he didn't do too much as a QB. The Buckeyes scored only one offensive TD, one. AT home. The other was a punt return in which the official missed a blatant block in the back.
Ohio had 5 turnovers to OSU's one, but the Buckeyes couldn't do squat. Furthermore, their "Golden Boy," Terrelle Pryor, only got three snaps when the game was in doubt, and rode the pine the rest of the game until about 3 minutes left. They never got the kid the chance to get prepared for the Trojans, so I doubt we'll see him very much in L.A. No way they put this kid in the pressure cooker of the Los Angeles Coliseum with so much at stake.
The pressure of the USC game has gotten way too much for Ohio State. Their whole manhood is riding on this game, and because they will be so tense, they will get flattened by Pete Carroll and his boys come Saturday. Especially when Ohio State players like WR Ray Small starts giving out good bulletin board material.
I expected a 10-14 point USC win on Saturday before the OSU/Ohio game. But now, with the Buckeye performance, the doubt in their minds, Ray Small's comments, and the fact that USC always seems to rise up for its biggest challengers (Texas notwithstanding), I am thinking Pete and Co. will win by 21+ now, just to make a statement, and get a HUGE leg up in recruiting on Tressel.
Fight On and BEAT THE BUCKEYES!

Oktoberfest & Trojan Football!!
Hallo Meine Freunden!
How about a FUN night of Bier, Brats, Oom Paa Paa bands and TROJAN FOOTBALL?!?!
The Triad German Club is holding its annual Oktoberfest in Winston-Salem on Saturday, October 4 at 6:00 PM. Then, our beloved Trojans host those quacky Oregon Ducks at 8:00 PM. This could be a good opportunity to have a little German fare (remember, my wife is a full-blooded German) before settling in and watching our Men of Troy de-feather the Ducks.
The Oktoberfest will be hosted at the Millenuium Center, 101 5th Street, downtown Winston-Salem. Here is a MAP.
If you are interested in going to the party before the game, email me at: GSOTrojan@aol.com.
Tschuss!

Meet the New Boss, Same As The Old Boss...
Ho, hum. The KING has returned, LONG live the KING!!!
Our beloved Trojans find themselves back atop the Coaches poll at #1, followed by Georgia, Ohio State, Oklahoma and Florida rounding out the top 5. USC received 23 1st place votes, Georgia 20, Ohio State 10, Oklahoma 2, Florida 3 and LSU 3.
Strangely enough, UCLA, who undermanned but over-coached, coming off a gut wrenching victory over over-hyped SEC foe Tennessee, did not crack the top 25. They are #26. Cal sits at #27.
The AP poll has followed suit, USC #1, followed by Georgia, Ohio State, Oklahoma and Florida.
Being as USC has a bye week, and both Georgia and Ohio State play some more creampuffs this week, the Men of Troy should enter the Buckeye clash as the top-ranked team in the land.
Fight On!

Virginia Game Report
Hey Trojans, just a little recap of our trip to Charlottesville.
First, let me say that we were graciously welcomed to C'ville by 99% of the folks there. I only heard one "USC sucks" and was flipped off once by some loser UVA student while making my way back to Greensboro. All in all, we had a remarkable time, and the town and University were both impressive. My only regret, is that the game wasn't a month later. Not so much for a temperature aspect, moreso because I bet UVA and C'ville are spectacular in the dead of fall with Autumn color.
On Friday, we made our way up to C'ville, unfortunately having to forego our "Conquest Caravan to Charlottesville." That being said I had to "represent," so the night before, I decorated my car with some Cardinal and Gold battle paint. Here are a couple of pics:
The drive up 29 was really nice, mostly rural, and definitely relaxing and easy. A trip up there during the peak of fall would be amazing I am sure. Three and a half hours later, we were in the den of the "enemy."
We first stopped off at "Buffalo Wild Wings," were my pledge brother, Garry Paskwietz (Owner of the USC website "WeAreSC.com")was having a Trojan luncheon for the faithful. I hadn't seen him in some time, so it was great catching up. I also ran into two other Fraternity brothers as well as Mark Sanchez's mother, brother, sister-in-law, and nephew "Nico." They were a very pleasant family, easy to talk to and my son Ethan, played with Nico, which was cool. Mrs. Sanchez was nervous about her son's knee, and remarked that Mark was the driving force to get up and playing as soon as possible, not the coaches and not the doctors. Needless to say, he performed beautifully. To me, his play of the day was when he sat back in the pocket, eating a sandwich, and none of the WR were open. Instead of forcing a throw, he scrambled to the left and ran out of bounds after about 4-5 yards. It was then I knew we'll be fine because he took what the D gave him and didn't force the issue. If he manages the games like that, we have an incredible season ahead of us.
The UVA campus is amazing, exactly what I imagined an old, established East Coast University to look like. Here is a picture of me on "The Lawn," right in front of the "Rotunda." This is the original campus of the University created by Thomas Jefferson.
The Triad Trojan "tailgate" was a bit of a nightmare to coordinate having never been to C'ville or UVA before. That being said, I was able to find some of us in that chaos. Here is a picture of the TT's I rounded up:
Here are some pics from the game:

A GREAT time up there. Looks like the next roadtrip on the East Coast own't be until 2011 and a trip to Boston for Boston College.
The Trojans rest for a week before the MASSIVE game vs. the Buckeyes.
Finally, congrats to the UCLA Bruins on beating yet another overhyped SEC team, Tennessee. (Okay, I just threw up a bit). Pac-10: 1, SEC: 0

First, let me say that we were graciously welcomed to C'ville by 99% of the folks there. I only heard one "USC sucks" and was flipped off once by some loser UVA student while making my way back to Greensboro. All in all, we had a remarkable time, and the town and University were both impressive. My only regret, is that the game wasn't a month later. Not so much for a temperature aspect, moreso because I bet UVA and C'ville are spectacular in the dead of fall with Autumn color.

Less than 200 USC vs. Virginia Tickets Left....
On StubHub. UVA folks are saying this will easily be the largest attendance at Scott Stadium ever. Sweet!
182 Tickets Donated!!
WOW! I am very PROUD of the outstanding effort made by all Trojans who generously gave their Richmond and East Carolina tickets to the Boys and Girls Club of Charlottesville! We may reach my goal of 200 "opportunities" for the C'ville kids and their parents/mentors.
To say they are ecstatic, would be an understatement.
Many thanks for your generosity and paying forward the Trojan Spirit!

Less than 750 USC vs. UVA Tickets Left
It's GAME WEEK folks!
Nothing gets my blood pumping more than coming out of summer, and into Autumn and FOOTBALL SEASON!! Strangely enough, there is a hint of color in some of the maples around our neighborhood, which seems early to me.
With the Trojan/Cavalier tilt less than a week away, tickets are going fast. There is less than 750 ducats left on StubHub with some FIXED prices as low as $55. That's only $5 above face value folks, so now is the time to get in.
I actually have one ticket in section 519 (next to me) for sale for $50. Unfortunately, my wife will have to watch our 15 month old son, Ethan, and won't be able to go to the game. So, if there is a Trojan out there interested in buying it, contact me at GSOTrojan@aol.com.
Fight On and FRY THE FISH!!

Trojan Goodwill Paying Dividends...
Hey Trojans:
Our grassroots endeavor to assist the children at the Boys and Girls Club of Charlottesville is paying dividends! The organization has already received over 90 tickets for the Richmond and East Carolina games, so THANK YOU for helping make this worthwhile charitable gift a reality.
Our good deed has not gone unnoticed. Here is a short video from the local Charlottesville TV station WCAV 12:
"USC Fans Donate UVa Tickets" video
We are also getting some nice press back "home," in California. A blog entry from the Long Beach Press Enterprise:
"USC Fans Donate 88 Tickets To Va. Kids"
I hope if you haven't sold your Richmond/ECU tickets, that you'll consider sending them to the Boys and Girls Club.
[UPDATE 8/21/08]
118 tickets have been donated to date.
[UPDATE 8/20/08]
100 tickets have been donated to date.

Less than 1,000 USC vs. UVA Tickets Left
That's right folks, less than 1,000 tickets remain on StubHub for the USC vs. Virginia game. Prices have come down too, with some tickets below $50 (but are "at auction"). This should be the BIG week for ticket sales since the game is coming up the following week, people don't want to risk travel delays to not get their tickets in time.

USC Fans Ticket Donations SOAR to 88 for Richmond/ECU Games
Here is the press release:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LOCAL KIDS HAVE UNLIKELY BENEFACTOR FROM VIRGINIA FOE
Trojan Fans Donate Numerous Football Tickets to Local Charity
On August 30th, when Virginia opens its season against national power Southern California, the Cavalier fans won’t be cheering for the Trojans, but a group of fortunate kids from the Boys and Girls Club of Charlottesville will. It isn’t because the kids want USC to win, or because they don’t believe in Al Groh’s team this season. No, they are cheering for selfish reasons.
Trojan fans, many of whom purchased the “Season Kickoff Package” from the UVA ticket office only for the opportunity to see USC face Virginia, have no reason to keep their Richmond or East Carolina tickets; they won’t be around long enough to use them. Instead, a USC support group in North Carolina came up with the idea of donating the extra tickets to the Boys and Girls Club of Charlottesville (http://bgclubcville.org), instead of selling the seats on eBay or StubHub.
“I’m a big college football message board fan,” said Andrew Mayon, President of the Triad Trojan Club in Greensboro, NC. “I came across a site called “The Sabre.com,” which is frequented by Virginia fans. Their fans were very gracious in discussing the upcoming game versus USC, as well as providing information regarding tailgating, places to visit, places to eat, things to do, etc. It’s always great to mix it up with fans at an opposing school before a game, and the ‘Hoo fans have been a lot of fun.”
So in this day and age of the internet, a Cardinal and Gold opportunity arose.
“On The Sabre.com, there was a small ad stating that the site supported the Boys and Girls Club, so that was the impetus to offer my extra tickets to them. I knew I wasn’t going to need them, so I contacted Sabrina Grant, who is the Club’s support specialist, to offer my seats. She was very excited, and very appreciative to receive some tickets for her kids.”
So how did an innocuous gesture of goodwill grow into a full-fledged charitable campaign?
“We always refer to fellow Trojans as “Family,” so who better to ask to assist in this great cause than members of the Trojan Family? I knew there must be numerous USC fans that purchased the same ticket package as I did, so I went on two USC message boards; WeAreSC.com and USCFootball.com and presented the idea on there. There was a tremendous response to this endeavor and we’re all just thrilled that some great kids will have the opportunity to experience the thrill of a college football game.”
Grant remarked, “This is the first time a fan base from a visiting school has donated this many tickets (88 at the time of this press release) to our organization. We hope that this will be the start of an ongoing trend by future Virginia opponents in future seasons. It is a tremendous opportunity for our kids to experience such a fun event. The fact that these donations were unsolicited by us, makes it an even more selfless act by the USC fans.”
So, while packaging tickets to see one marquis program and two, regional programs may have seemed like a novel and financially sound idea, the Virginia athletic department may have stumbled onto a more significant, though unintended consequence of their actions. When those Trojans, with their fabled Song Girls, Heisman Trophies, platinum record band, iconic white horse and their storied football tradition roll into Charlottesville, that Cardinal and Gold clad fan you’re sitting next to may have given a little part of themselves to help the local community.
Whether the Cavaliers win or lose to USC makes no difference. Because the Cavaliers agreed to play this game, some lucky local kids will enjoy a wonderful Saturday afternoon this season in Scott Stadium. Certainly, Charlottesville got more than they bargained for, all because of the goodwill by some thoughtful opposing fans, who only wanted to see their team play. For its efforts, UVA is playing a great program, on national TV, sold more tickets than expected to smaller games like Richmond and ECU, and now has some new young fans to bring into the fold. I guess it could be said, the University of Virginia has already won.
***
[Update 8/20/08]
100 tickets have been received so far.

USC vs. UVA Tickets Prices Dropping Again...
As I expected, the closer to the USC/UVA kickoff we get, the more the prices will drop because folks don't want to be left holding unsold tickets. There are still a few dreamers out there with $500+ prices, maybe they'll sell, most likely they won't, not for those prices. Right now, there are less than 1,050 tickets left for the game. I expect this week most of those tickets will go because people don't want to wait until game week, they want to give their tickets enough time to get into their hands.
A number of tickets are now in the $50-$80, with the lower priced ones being sold "at auction." Remember, the face value of the tickets is $50.

Less Than 1,200 USC vs. UVA Tickets Left
Hey Gang:
StubHub is showing less than 1,200 tickets remain for the USC/UVA game. There are some tickets that are $75 in section 522 and, someone has put 2 tickets in section 518 up for auction starting at $55.
It looks like many tickets are going for just under $100, with more in the $100-$125 range. My guess is, the closer we get to game time, the cheaper these will become as folks get scared they won't be able to sell them at all, so keep checking. You can get quick access to the StubHub USC/Virginia game by clicking the dueling helmet picture at the top of the blog.
[8/13 UPDATE]
There are now less than 1,100 tickets left, so if you are looking to buy, act fast!
Good luck!

Donated Tickets Update...
GREAT news, Trojans! So far, the Trojan Family has donated 48 tickets to the Boys and Girls Club of Charlottesville, according to Sabrina Grant. There have been 26 tickets to the UVA/Richmond game, and 22 tickets to the UVA/East Carolina games sent. Awesome job!
Please donate your tickets ASAP, as it gives the organization plenty of time to coordinate which kids go to which games, and makes the Club's job a little easier. Mailing information for the Boys & Girls' Club in in the right column under "USC/Virginia Quick Info."
Those who have donated tickets, your donation letter has been delayed due to the absence of the Director, who has recently undergone surgery. We wish him a speedy recovery!

USC vs. UVA Ticket Update...
Well, tickets seem to be moving quicker and are pricier now that we are less than a month from kickoff. All the sub-$80 tickets are gone on StubHub with a number of tickets still available between $80 and $100. So, if you are looking for USC vs. UVA tickets, you may want to think about getting in now.
There are less than 1,350 tickets left on StubHub, good luck!
For those of you in the Southeast (GA, SC, and NC), we should be finalizing our "Conquest Caravan to Charlottesville" very soon. Georgia Trojans will get an early start and hook up with Charlotte Trojans, who'll make their way up to Greensboro to meet up with Triad Trojans, as well as Triangle Trojans who'll make their way over from Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill/Cary. We'll all have lunch in Greensboro around 12:30 at Natty Greene's Brewhouse, then have a car painting party to get ready for the 3.5 hour drive out of Greensboro up Hwy 29 directly into C'ville, where we'll then disperse to our respective hotels.
We also need to decide what we want to do about Saturday's tailgate too.
Next week, I'll try to get a final tally, as well as a meeting point in Charlotte for the Georgia/Charlotte Trojans to link up before the 90 minute drive to GSO.
It's getting close folks, football is in the air!
Fight On and BEAT the 'Hoos!

USC vs. UVA Ticket Interest on 5 Continents!
Well, with the USC vs. Virginia kickoff less than 4 weeks away, there is growing interest in getting tickets for the game as evidenced by the number of hits I am getting on the blog using search phrases like "usc vs. uva," "usc vs. virginia tickets," "tickets to uva vs. usc," etc.
The "Recent Activity Map" now shows hits from: Wien (Vienna), Austria - "Hallo!"; Singapore - "Hello!"; Brisbane, Australia - "G'Day!"; Honolulu, Hawai'i - "Aloha!"; and someplace near Africa - "Jamba!" There is someone from Livingston, New Jersey too, which was where I was born, oh so many years ago, so if you read this, email me at GSOTrojan@aol.com. Here is the map:
(Click on the image to enlarge)
There are now less than 1500 tickets to the game available on StubHub, down from over 1,600 about a week ago. I imagine that most of those will be sold within the next two weeks, so if you are looking to go to the game, now would be as good a time as any to get your tickets. Good luck and see you in Charlotesville!

USC vs. UVA In One Month!!!
Football season is just around the corner!
Today is an annual ritual, when the battle colors start to fly so all my neighbors here in the Gate City can see the Cardinal and Gold grace my home. It flys lone and proud amongst the many UNC, NC State and Wake Forest flags (Duke flags don't come out until basketball season), along with a smattering of Notre Dame flags, a Tennessee, Auburn, Alabama and Florida flag or two. We actually have a really good mix of followers of college football in my community, so it is fun to walk the dogs at night, stop by a friend''s house and talk football.
If you still need USC/UVA tickets, there are still plenty available and the prices are dropping to low $70's. Since face value is $50, I don't think they'll get below $60 before the game, and most of the USC sections are going for under $90, for now.
This week we'll begin final plans for the caravan up to Charlottesville, starting with Trojans in Georgia, who'll link up with Queen City Trojans in Charlotte, then link up with Triad/Triangle Trojans in Greensboro for lunch, then car painting, then all of us will caravan up Hwy 29 into (friendly) enemy territory displaying our Trojan spirit for all the good folks in Virginia to see.
We'll also make plans for Saturday's tailgate (we have been invited to join some UVA fans in a joint party, which worked out very well for the USC/Auburn game a few years ago.) regarding location, food, drinks, etc.
This is going to be a BLAST! Hope you are getting "jacked."

Donated my UVA/ECU and UVA/Richmond Tickets...
Hey Gang:
Today I sent the balance of my "UVA Season Kickoff package"tickets to the Boys & Girls Club of Charlottesville. I am sure the kids there will enjoy going to a college football game as much as we love it.
According to Sabrina, we are the first fans to ever organize a mass ticket donation to the Club this far in advance. She said normally folks come in on Friday the day before the game and try to give their tickets away, but that is too little time for the Club to coordinate anything with the kids.
So, if you bought the package in order to get your USC/UVA tickets, why not consider donating them to a great cause instead of selling them on StubHub or eBay? Just mail them to the information in the right column, include your name, mailing address, email address, and the value of the tickets (face amount, don't be greedy), and you'll get an email form you can use for tax purposes. So come on Trojans, donate those tickets to these special kids! Send your tickets in ASAP and THANK YOU for helping out!
[UPDATE]
Four (4) tickets have already been received by the club (thanks Bob M.!), mine makes 8, and Sabrina said she has received numerous emails stating others have donated as well. Awesome job Trojans!
Sabrina is gone until August 6th, so I'll check back again once she returns to see if she received any more tickets.

Who wants USC vs. UVA Tickets?
Apparently a number of people are looking for USC vs. UVA tickets, even as far away as India! A recent look at the visitor activity map shows some interesting locations for inquires, take a look:
(Click the image to enlarge, use the "back" button to return to the blog)
That's interesting to say the least, I'll be curious where folks come from the closer we get to the game.
Obviously, the heaviest concentrations of searches are coming from California and Virginia/Maryland/Mid-Atlantic area. Here is the U.S. map:
Here are the different ways folks found our blog, using these search words (again, click to enlarge):
It is amazing how detailed the search engines get when separating a search request: usc vs uva is different than usc vs. uva (note the period in "vs."). Still this is a great tool when you are targeting a certain market so the search engines will find you and offer your information to John Q. Public (or Samir Q. Public if you are in India).
If you are looking for usc vs. uva or usc vs uva tickets, there are plenty available, so I hope you can get some and join the party!

I received my USC/Virginia tickets (section 519) in the mail yesterday, the season is just around the corner!
There are still over 1,600 tickets available on StubHub, and still the prices are coming down. There are a number of tickets in section 524 for $70.00+ (the face value of the USC ticket is $50.00). If you want to know what your view would look like from any section, click:

Just scroll over each section and you'll get an idea of your sight line, pretty cool!
Fall camp starts in early August, but the team has been working on conditioning and self-directed passing drills already. This should be another GREAT season, hope you'll be in Charlottesville with the rest of us to enjoy the opener!
Fight On!
I received my USC/Virginia tickets (section 519) in the mail yesterday, the season is just around the corner!
There are still over 1,600 tickets available on StubHub, and still the prices are coming down. There are a number of tickets in section 524 for $70.00+ (the face value of the USC ticket is $50.00). If you want to know what your view would look like from any section, click:

USC vs. UVA Tickets Prices Dropping...
Hey Gang, it looks like ticket prices are beginning to drop for the Virginia game. The average range seems to be in the 80's for the USC sections. There are of course, your $400-$600 tickets between the 35 yard lines, but I suspect those will also come down as game day approaches.
You can also find tickets to other games (even ones not involving USC) at ncaafootballtickets.blogspot.com. The site has some pretty good links, and the graphics are good too. It is one of my creations, and it is a work in progress, though I hope to have a lot of really good info on it for you non-USC folks. Check it out when you get the chance and let me know what you think. I appreciate the feedback.

New Triad Trojan Found...
Hey Gang, we have found another Trojan among us here in the Triad. I got a call today from Donald W. (class of '93), who is one of Dr. Laura Steinberg's patients (like I am, and like you should be too, she only went to the best damn Dental School in the US!). Anyway, he and his wife Kathy (or Cathy, I don't know which one yet) live out here now, and he is looking forward to joining the Triad Trojans this season.
Fight On Donald!

Possible USC/UVA Tickets Available
Hey Trojans:
There was a post on the uscfootball.com site from a Trojan who may have 10 USC/UVA ticket packages available at face value for "Trojans only." I cannot vouch for anything more than the information he posted. If you are interested (and you may have to act lightning quick to get them), contact: socalhugo@yahoo.com
[Update] - All 10 tickets have been sold. =(
Good luck!
Of course, if that doesn't work out, you can always click the StubHub link above and try to secure some ducats that way too...(yes, the Triad Trojan Club does get compensated if you buy tickets using our link, so why not contribute to the cause?)
Pillaging Westwood's Recruits
In other news, the 2009 football recruiting class is shaping up nicely. The Trojans recently converted a UCLA commit over from the darkside to commit to Troy. Truth be told, Byron Moore was a lifelong Trojan fan and gave the bRUINS his commitment early, but after an impressive showing at USC's Rising Stars camp, Byron got his dream offer from Pete Carroll and will be joining the Cardinal and Gold next season. Fight on Byron!

Red Porkins 2: I’m with you, Red Lisp 3
(The two dive and level out just below the surface of the object. It is glossy, covered with bags of silcone, shiny brass armor plating, stunning nude women covered by glass bubbles, and laser cannons.)
Red Lisp 3: Jezuth, look at that! It’s the size of a Pollack washerwoman’s behind, I tell you!
Red Porkins 2: Right with you…um…got a problem here.
Red Lisp 3: Eject!
Red Porkins 2: I can hold it…I’ve got Clausen…and recruits…
Red Lisp 3: Come to television! It’s eathy!
Red Porkins 2: No…I just need more….time.
Imperial Cannoneer Carroll: I’m so jacked to be shooting down this fighter.
[Fires Rey Maualuga from cannon.]
Red Lisp 3: What’s the thtate theal of Baltimore doing on my helmet?
Red Porkins 2: AAAAAAAAAGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Cannoneer Carroll: WIN FOREVER!!!!!
Red Lisp 3: Aw, come on! You named him Porkinth! He didn’t thtand a chance to begin with!

UVA Season "Kickoff Package" is Sold Out.
Hey Trojans:
The UVA season "Kickoff Package" that included USC, East Carolina and Richmond is sold out. At this point, there are only a few options left.
As for myself, I plan on leaving early Friday (subject to change) to get to our hotel in Waynesboro. If anyone wants to team up for a caravan up that day, let me know. I'll get some Cardinal and Gold water based paint to decorate my car for the trek into "enemy territory."
For your enjoyment, I created a "USC/UVA Countdown Widget" for your browser, or desktop. Feel free to download it and share it with your USC/UVA friends.

- Wait and try to get the "Single Game" ticket on the UVA site (Bwahahahaha!)
- Try StubHub, which is linked via the banner ad above and they probably have some tickets for sale (though for a weeee bit more than face value)

USC/Virginia Lodging Option
Hey Trojans, I have a lodging update for you.
I was able to get a room at the Waynesboro Hampton Inn for a AAA rate of $102.60/night for a non-smoking King room. I have stayed at Hampton Inns before, and they are clean, comfortable and I LOVE the chocolate chip cookies they have available at night.
Waynesboro in just off the Blue Ridge Parkway, in the heart of the mountains of the Shenandoah Valley, which I hear is gorgeous, and it is only about 25-30 minutes from Charlottesville. There is also an outlet mall nearby (for the wives) and some good restaurants. Anyway, I thought I'd pass along that info since it seems everything good in C'ville is already booked.

USC/Virginia Tickets Still Available
According to Alexis P., there are still UVA "Season Kickoff Packages" available. Apparently, UVA released limited amounts of the packages so they wouldn't be sold out in a few hours. While I can't guarantee tickets will still be available when you call, at least there may still be some hope.
We are still going to try and coordinate with other Carolina Trojans to either caravan, or tailgate together at the game. Maybe we'll even get together and have a "car painting party" (there is a carpool lot near my house off Hwy 29 which goes right to Charlottesville) with some water based paints to proudly display the Cardinal and Gold on our way up to the game?
I am trying to find some accommodations to stay a night or two up in Virginia as I have a feeling the game will be an 8:00 PM kickoff for prime time, so I don't feel like driving 3.5 hours home at midnight. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Don't forget to email me at GSOTrojan@aol.com if you get tickets so I can have you on the mailing list for the caravan/tailgate
