Thanks Beavers for killing the Pac-10 mojo so critically earned last Saturday with California's win over SEC foe, Tennessee. SEVEN turnovers...reminded me of the Trojan game in Corvalis last year. I have news for you, you have an EPIC BEATDOWN waiting for you in the Coliseum very soon...
At least you aren't Michigan.
Anyone heading over to Winston-Salem this Saturday to get a sneak peek at our next foe, Nebraska? I won't be taking too much away from the defensive side of the ball of Nebbie since Riley Skinner, the Deacs starting QB won't be playing.

Trojans Take Game 1: 38-10
Well, it wasn't pretty at times, and the Trojans actually seemed bored as well, but the Trojans extended their nation leading home winning streak to 34 games with a solid, yet unspectacular 38-10 win over the Idaho Vandals. Certainly, with two weeks to prepare, and the return of some important injured players (Patrick Turner, Josh Pinkard, and a full game from Sam Baker), the Trojans should be ready to open the playbook against the Cornhuskers in Lincoln and unleash their full complement of weapons.
The most memorable moment of the game (besides Vidal Hazelton's SICK one-handed TD grab) was this poignant moment after the first TD...a tribute to the late Mario Danelo, who died tragically earlier this year.
Finally, in order to be more "PC," I have moved the Nebraska game viewing party back to the Green Burro. Directions are on the right hand side.
The Trojans have a BYE this week, so I'll be watching other games of interest. Congrats goes out to Appy State who sent the Meatchicken faithful into suicide watch with their stunning and heroic win over the Wolverines in the Big House.
Fight On!

USC/Idaho Game
Hey Triad Trojans:
Just a quick FYI for the USC/Idaho game this Saturday. The game starts at 10:15 PM local time, and will be shown on Fox Sports Net (DirecTv channel 630). Obviously, due to the late kickoff time, there will be no viewing party.
The USC/Nebraska game is Saturday, September 15 at 8:00 PM. There will be a viewing party at Hooters Greensboro on High Point Road near the Four Seasons Mall. The manager is a friend and neighbor of mine and I know he'll take care of us. If you are interested in joining us for the game, RSVP me at GSOTrojan@aol.com so I can give him a head count to secure some tables. There are directions in the sidebar to the right on the blog under "Upcoming Events.".
Fight On and BEAT the Vandals!

The GAUNTLET has been thrown down!
I have to admit, the USC Alumni Association has some brass ones to come up with THIS shirt for the Nebraska game:
I like the GOLD touch...certainly will be able to identify the USC fans in the crowd....especially after the football teams clears out the Husker fans by the fourth quarter (we hope!).
Until next time, Fight On!

NEW Trojan Found!
Hey Gang:
I was at a friend's birthday party and stumbled across another Trojan alum right here in Greensboro. His name is Dr. Paul S. (Ph.D) and he hopes to join us for some viewing parties this year. So welcome to the Triad Trojan Family paul, we're happy to have you aboard!
I have tentatively planned two of the viewing parties for now, the first being the Nebraska game (The Green Burro, downtown Greensboro) because the bar manager, Mike, is a Nebraska alum and we had the game there last year. The second game planned is the Notre Dame game at Fox & Hound in Winston Salem (since it is an early game and I won't have to drive back to Greensboro at Midnight...okay, I'm a bit selfish, but I have a new son to worry about now).
Anyway guys, the Idaho game is at 10:15 PM and I don't think there are too many die-hards who want to be out on Saturday night until 2 AM so that is why I did not schedule anything.
Until next time, Fight On!

Football Starts Today!
Well Trojans, today is the day the Trojan football team begins its quest for its third AP National Championship and second BCS Championship under Pete Carroll. Our beloved Trojans are overwhelmingly ranked #1 in preseason magazines and more recently, the Coaches' Poll. The question remains, "can the Men of Troy go wire to wire again with a difficult schedule of Non-conference opponents (Nebraska & Notre Dame), and road trips (Nebraska, Notre Dame, California, Oregon, Arizona State & Washington)?" Time will tell but with this coaching staff, the impressive if not ridiculous amount of talent that roams the sidelines, and the experience of playing as a top dog for four straight years, I like our chances.
Did you know, USC has been preseason #1 three of the past four years? Also, in the past five years, USC has finished in the top 5 EVERY year? No other team comes close. The five straight years of at least 11 wins is also a school record.
Many games will be at 8:00 PM here on the East Coast, so hopefully, we can get together for at least of few of them. I'll keep y'all up to date with where we plan to have the viewing parties for those who are interested. We'll also try to accommodate both the Winston-Salem and the Greensboro faithful.
Until next time, Fight On!

Virginia Game 2008
TICKET UPDATE!!!! 7-16-08
(I know a LOT of you are getting this post looking for tickets to the USC/UVA game, so click HERE to get to the front page of the blog OR check out the USC/UVA StubHub link in the right column of the blog under "USC/Virginia Quick Info")
***
Hey Trojans, don't know if many of you heard this, but our beloved Trojans are making a return trip to the East Coast in 2008 to play the Virginia Cavaliers in football. Now I know this is still a LONG ways away, but for those of you who are interested, perhaps we can pool together and buy a block of tickets to sit together at the game? But my estimates, the drive to Charlottesville is an easy 3 hours straight up route 29 (right by my house at Reedy Fork), so maybe a roadtrip caravan would be awesome too?
On another note, my wife Sylvia is just about ready to welcome a NEW Trojan into the world, our son Ethan, who is due May 20. Here is a blog I created for him: http://ethanmaxwellblog.blogspot.com.

Change of Venue (Trojans vs. Tarheels)
Hey Gang:
Because of the "Daughtry" concert at Natty Greene's on Friday night, Bob Blake suggested we move the venue to Hugo's on Pisgah Church and Lawndale (just past Fresh Market).
Fight On!

BEAT the Tarheels!!
Well Trojans, we're in enemy territory this week as our beloved Alma Mater takes on basketball Über-school, North Carolina in the Sweet-16 round of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tourney. March Madness has a way of producing some memorable upsets, like when USC took out a highly ranked Kentucky team a few years ago. Perhaps some more magic lies in wait for USC?
For those of you who are interested (and are Night Owls), Bob Blake has said he would be interested in meeting up at "The Green Burro" in Downtown Greensboro to watch the game. Obviously wherever we go, Tarheel fans will outnumber us. Still, this is a rare opportunity for Tim Floyd and the Men of Troy. The Trojans will NOT be intimidated by Carolina since the Trojans CRUSHED these guys last year in Los Angeles.
Fight On and BEAT the Tarheels!
