My First USC Game!!

Today I'm headed to my first USC game. My friend Margo recently became engaged to a guy who attended USC so they try to go to most of the games. They are having a tailgate/engagement celebration so lots of us are headed out to the Coliseum to celebrate! I know Uncle Brian would be so proud. Fight on?!

On a separate note,today is also the 9th anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy at the Twin Towers. I love Alan Jackson's song about that day. Read the lyrics below. That day will always be in our hearts and on our minds. I won't ever forget where I was and what I was doing that day. Will you??

"Where Were You"
by Alan Jackson

Where were you when the world stopped turning, that September day?
Out in the yard with your wife and children, working on some stage in LA.
Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke rising against that blue sky?
Did you shout out in anger, in fear for your neighbor?
Or did you just sit there and cry?

Did you weep for the children who lost their dear loved ones,
And pray for the ones who don't know?
Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble,
And sob for the ones left below?

Did you burst out in pride for the red, white and blue,
The heroes who dies just doin what they do?
Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer,
And look at yourself and what really matters?

I'm just a singer of simple songs,
I'm not a real political man.
I watch CNN but I'm not sure I can tell you,
The difference in Iraq and Iran.
But I know Jesus and I talk to God,
And I remember this from when I was young,
Faith, hope and love are the good things He gave us.
And the greatest is love...
