Season's Ramblings: I still can't believe USC lost to Oregon State. The Trojans have been very mediocre against the Pac-10 going only 10-5 in their last 15 games. Their shot at a National Chapionship was severly hurt as are their chances for winning the Pac-10 this year. They're still ranked 9th but losing to Oregon State (who were 1-2) makes every week unpredictable and makes the likeliness of another upset seem much bigger. This week it's Oregon who are very good and picked to finish second in the Pac-10 and who beat USC last year.

One of my favorite sports is college football (along with Baseball, though I also like other sports like Basketball, Hockey, Soccer and the NFL). My favorite college football team is the USC Trojans of southern Cal. Everyone asks me if I went there which I never did as I student. I was accepted into a school agreement to go to Biola for two years and then finish with three years at USC. However, before I transfered to USC I changed my majoy from Electrical Engineering to Biblical Studies (though I like USC, it's not my school of choice for theology!). I did, however, marry into the USC family (most of Jennifer's family are USC alumni, including her dad). I'm not able to watch much college football in Germany but I am able to get some games via the internet and by tapes sent to us from the states.

I took this picture at Notre Dame in 2003 when USC went on to win the National Championship!
