Okay, so I actually cried!!!! I didn't get to see the game, I was on a plane, planning to watch it when I got home and up pops this man with his cell phone, as we are trying to get off of the plane, and shouts (at least it seemed like he was shouting), "you're kidding, they lost?" Well, immediately, I knew what he was talking about. I got off of the plane, as fast as I could just in time to see the tv in the airport, and I thought 10seconds left, they are close to the end zone....they could still pull this out typical finish for an SC game.... wait, they're going the wrong way and... the wrong team has the ball....ahhhhh! So, I pull it together and my friend Jodi asks me..."You are a fan, do you actually get teary eyed and everything." I think to myself. "No, Never, I don't cry over a football game" all of a sudden, there are these tears spilling over my eyes and down my face.Can you believe it? I was shocked and certain that I was having some kind of out of body experience. I'm so embarrassed! Tom Hanks' character in League of Their Own, says that there's no crying in baseball.... That has to be at least doubly true for football. So for this year, no National Championship game, no bragging rights for the city (or me for that matter), broke yet another amazing streak of wins against UCLA...but as Dan reminds me, UCLA still holds the title for most wins against us (all of the 80"s). Ahhh, what's a girl to do..... Still loving "My Boys" and will be happy to watch them in the Rose Bowl against Michigan. Will someone tell them to Bring their game with them on January 1st. Please??? Always an SC fan I will be.

Awwww! You poor thing! It's is kinda funny though that you are actually surprised by your tears! As Jodi said you are a FANATIC! That's okay though.

A plane? Where did you go? I miss you a lot. :(

Love you!
