Football Huddle

April 14, 2012

Ooh what a day that was.
We're going boom boom boom
That's the way we live
And in a great big room and
That's the way we live.

It's spring football time.  The USC Trojan Huddle has been a part of our lives for decades now.  We met Connie and Russ at South Coast Plaza.  For those not familiar, it is one of the largest shopping malls and the highest grossing sales.  Over $1.5 billion a year.

We drove the the Los Angeles Coliseum and joined thousands of other Trojan fans for the annual spring scrimmage.  Under Pete Carroll the team was divided in half.  Lane Kiffin has the defense play the offense and the defense scores points by turnovers and defensive stops.



We are looking forward to many touchdowns.



We brought a picnic lunch and ate and watched the plays.  We have a lot of players returning including QB Matt Barkley.  We are no longer on probation from the NCAA/Reggie Bush witchhunt.  Way to go NCAA- punishing players that had nothing to do with anything.

Here is what I think NCAA:


After the scrimmage we went back to South Coast Plaza and did a little shopping. We had dinner reservations at Maggianos.

Thanks to a tip from Jen we ordered the 2-1 pasta dish deal.  You order one to eat there and they give you one to take home.   A great deal.

After dinner the Browns headed North and the Taylors headed south.  Dreaming of football just around the corner.
