Counting Down Until Kickoff...

Hey Triad Trojans, I hope you have been enjoying your summer. We are now at just about 2 months from the kickoff of the 2009 football season, and the blog will be updated more frequently. Here are some little tidbits from the "off season."

A new Trojan family has relocated to the Triad. Karl B. and his wife Erin (also a Trojan!) and their two children have moved from out west and look forward to meeting all of you and enjoying some games together. Welcome Karl, Erin and Family!

Recently, USC President Dr. Steven Sample and his wife Kathryn were in Greensboro for a short stay (Dr. Sample has family in Greensboro), and I received a very nice letter from the USC Alumni Association praising us for carrying the Cardinal & Gold in the Carolinas. (Mrs. Sample told them all about the Triad Trojan Club) They asked if they could help us in any way, and I plan on asking them to recognize us as an "official" organization of the University. This would enable us to use official University logos to create merchandise for ourselves such as t-shirts, bumper stickers/magnets, etc. I will also ask them for any recruiting material for potential students in the Triad. I would like to start attending some College Nights and represent USC, so if anyone else is interested, just let me know.

I'll be updating the football schedule since 95% of it is already set with the first game set for 3:30 PM on September 5 vs. Dick Tomey's San Jose State Spartans.

Enjoy your summer, check back often and I look forward to seeing many of you during the upcoming season.

Fight On!
