Lost the battle.
Sad Day. Can’t imagine what it is like in LA today. Glad that I only had to read what the Sac Bee had to say. Don’t want to know what the LA Times said. Some highlights for me in the game…Matt telling the Texan to "bring it" after a roughing the passer call was made and Garrett caught the ball anyway. The announcer saying that Reggie took the golden snitch into the endzone. Pete SMILING on the sidelines as Texas drilled the ball down at the end of the 4th — proving again that football is fun.
Found this article on espn.com. Enjoyed these words on the fact that we sent LenDale for the 1st down when it was 4th and 2:
The decision was a fitting way for the Trojans to see their amazing streak come to an end, with the team stiff-arming conventional wisdom and opting to go down swinging.
"This is really what we wanted," said guard Fred Matua. "We want to be out there and play it to the fullest. We don’t play to just stay on top. We play to win, man.
"We’re not about putting the game in our defense’s hands. We want to take it from them on our terms. If we go down, we’re going down fighting, not just hopin’ and wishin’. This is how we play at SC, and any high schooler that wants to play like this, man, come on through. We don’t play scared."
Leave it to the Trojans to turn losing into the cool thing to do. I love it. I love the pride. Nothing better. As always, Fight On. And look forward to next season.
