Let's Rumble

...It's a perfect day for the BIG game tonight: sunny and 80 degrees here in Miami. Actually, the rumble is well underway -- began on the trip down here and increases by the moment. My flight came through Cincinnati, where the passengers were almost evenly divided between USC (the good guys) and OU (the bad guys). I tried to count to see who had the most fans, but both teams wear red and it was hard to distinguish the good guys from the bad (although I did note that, in first class, USC definitely had the advantage). The jibes were friendly (sorta) except when OU observed that Pete Carroll (MY coach) must have catered the flight (not even pretzels). And then, on my bus ride to South Beach (hostel accommodations --  other USC fans there as well) we were passed a police escort of buses loaded with MY team and MY band. And I see in the paper this morning that MY horse made the trip as well!!!

Kick-off at 8:05. I expect all of you in your appointed seats, cheering for the good guys and for MY horse (otherwise known as Traveller).
