OT: Collision at the Coliseum

No I don’t mean packet collision 
This whole week, the LA sports air waves have been talking up and hyping up this weekend’s showdown between The #1 ranked USC Trojans and #5 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes. And I’m getting more and more excited as the Saturday nears. I believe ESPN College Gameday will also be at the SC campus on Saturday (can’t have enough of Chris, Lee, and Kirk). Me so wanna be there. But alas! I will be getting ready for an old college buddy’s wedding on Saturday morning. I won’t even get to see the game live.
I haven’t always been a fan of college football. I only started getting into it when my wife, who went to USC, took me to my fist ever college football game in 2001. From then on I fell in love with the whole pageantry, the tradition, and mystique that goes on with the whole event. It’s amazing how a whole stadium of 90,000 people can be roused together when they hear their school’s fight song and get them all in their feet and altogether chanting their long-standing slogans and battle cries. You can feel the tradition emanate in the stadium as you look around the alumni section with folks in their 60s, and 70s, and 80s, decked out in their SC gear toting their little granddaugters in their little SC cheerleading outits and grandsons flashing their over-sized foam victory signs.
Two things stand in my way from being present at the game: I will be at a wedding of an college roommate and a $400-$1000 price tag to get a decent seat at the LA Coliseum.
