pete_carrollas a northern california native it is sacrilegious to root for teams from southern california. so it is a little weird that i have developed such an affinity for USC Football. however, i have a couple of legitimate excuses:
1) my wife is an 'SC alum, and more importantly was a student athlete (a national championship winner to boot), so there is a lot of pride there and it is fun to get excited about things your spouse is excited about.
2) Pete Carroll is the coach of the Trojans and he is infinitely like able. he gets really excited, he has a lot of fun, he doesn't do the "coach scowl" or rip on his players. he used to coach for the 49ers (at the end of their run of greatness), and he is an alum of the best school in california, perhaps even the US.
i love watching the trojans mainly for pete...i hope that i have as much fun doing my job as he does!
(we watched sc defeat nd today with the new england usc alumni group...great game...great day too...quincy st kids, picked out paint for the apartment, slept in, good football game...nice little fall saturday)
