[USC Paratrooper]

Got to check tomorrow if I can get off Jan 2. Its a teacher workday, but I can hope.

I'm much happier with the Michigan match-up than any of the other possibilities, but we cannot take this Michigan team lightly . . . their 4 losses came against teams with a combined record of 46-4!

They lost the first game of the season on the road at #2 Alabama in a blowout; lost on the road at #1 Notre Dame by 7; lost on the road at Nebraska by 14; and on the road at #3 Ohio State by 5.

The band better have fun down there. I don't know if you were in band in 2008 when we all went.

We stayed on a beachfront hotel. We went to Universal Studios and Busch Gardens. There was a giant pep rally on the beach. New Year's Eve was one big party. There was the parade in Ybor City. The hotel threw us a big catered feast. Then after that was over, a lot of people were on the beach the whole night. The beverages were flowing.

Oh yeah...and the weather was in the high 70s and sunny every day.

This concerns me a lot less after lat night, but still shouldn't take them lightly.

Now let's talk on how we shut Shoelace down.

[USC Paratrooper]

They are calling our offense terrible. Tough D but horrible offense they say

[lakemurraycock]

I'll be making the two hour drive from Cocoa Beach. It will be a blast!
