I help to run a non-profit org here in LA. During the summer of 2007, the program director (also a personal friend) invited me to her wedding on the evening of October 6. I crossed my fingers that the Stanford-USC game would be a 12:30 kickoff so that I could attend both the game and the wedding. No such luck. I had to choose between the two. I still do not regret deciding on the wedding. But it was up in Topanga Canyon with no access to Versus. I knew nothing about the result until I headed home. You can imagine my shock as I listened to the flagship USC radio station try to explain what had happened.
Now before the USC game each season, I watch the replay of the last few minutes of the game and then I watch the West Flo reaction - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yr9viH8_XpAÂ It never fails to draw goosebumps.
GG - were you at the reception at Adam and Kristen Keefe's house the night before that game? One of the assistant ADs (was it Mike Izzi?) walked around with a fat envelope of tickets, trying to give them away. Please take the tickets. Guest of the AD. We just want Stanford people in the Stanford section. There were few takers.Â
