6 Weeks Until Kickoff!
Ahh, the dogs days of summer, and that can only mean one thing, football is just around the corner! Next Saturday continues an annual tradition at my house, the hoisting of the Cardinal & Gold Trojan flag. The first Saturday of August is always my "flag day," and I always look forward to it!

NEW Sports Bar Coming to Greensboro...
A NEW sports bar is coming to Greensboro, "REFS Sports Bar and Grill" is moving into the Westridge shopping center behind Village Tavern. Some of you may remember a really nice sports bar there a few years ago called "Cheap Seats" which then became an Italian restaurant. Well, that one died and a friend of ours is one of the managers at this new venture, so it may be our new home in Greensboro. I like the fact it is centrally located for most of us in the G-S-O, but don't worry you Twin City Trojans, we'll still have games in your neck of the woods.
The restaurant is scheduled to open around August 17-24, just in time for football season.

Trojans Get Commitment From QB...
On the recruiting front, Pete Carroll landed an up and coming QB prospect named Jesse Scroggins from Lakewood H.S. in CA. Though not as highly rated as last year's #1 QB and Trojan freshman, Matt Barkley, Scroggins won't have much pressure on him out of the gate. This sets him up perfectly to by a "system" QB and learn for about 3 years before taking over the reigns like Matt Leinart, John David Booty and Mark Sanchez.

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!

Rose Bowl Viewing Party
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.
