<p>With all of the garbage I just said 'in fun' my boys still wanted USC to win and further my youngest one wants to go there more than anything.They have great uniforms and as my youngest son said "hot cheerleaders".
Also it double posted as there was a server problem.</p>
<p>i would have applied to UT if it wasn't so hard for out of staters to get in.</p>
<p>that's no problem at usc...but you do have to have very cool clothes, really white teeth, and a year-round tan. You think I'm kidding, but a couple of years ago, the Los Angeles Times published a multi-page article comparing student fashion/style at USC and UCLA (cross-town rivals)and USC was the vanguard of fashion. On the other hand, UCLA is in a much more upscale neighborhood than the ugly, dangerous ghetto around USC. (Shogun, you know it's true--how about the USC football player who was accidently shot by a stray bullet during practice several years ago.) I had better stop while I'm ahead, otherwise Shogun may drive up here on the 405 and pull some Army prank in my yard--though I would probably recognize the murals on the side of his motorhome and know who did it! ;)</p>
<p>You also have to live at the beach or by UCLA so you won't get assaulted and drive a cool car. I'm going to stop now!!!But it is fun.</p>
<p>yeah, even O.J. moved to Brentwood after his football career at USC ended. Oregon Mom got me going!</p>
<p>I probably wasn't paying as close attention as Oregon Mom's son but I'd call it a draw between USC and Texas when it comes to "hot cheerleaders"</p>
<p>"I probably wasn't paying as close attention as Oregon Mom's son..."

<p>Liar. Army and Navy also have "hot cheerleaders" + brains--and while we're on the subject, did you look at the photo of Shogun dancing with his favorite cadet? She's prettier (smarter and faster and better with an M16) than the Texas/USC cheerleaders. On the other hand, the usc cheerleaders may carry concealed weapons because the school is in the 'hood.</p>
<p>well, maybe I was fibbing. Also, I'm not sure the USC cheerleaders' weapons were concealed.</p>
<p>and my favorite usc story:</p>
<p>"Elizabeth Paige Laurie, the granddaughter of Wal-Mart co-founder Bud Walton, has returned her degree, nearly a year after Elena Martinez told ABC's "20/20" that she had written term papers and done assignments for Laurie for 3 ½ years. </p>
<p>"Paige Laurie voluntarily has surrendered her degree and returned her diploma to the university. She is not a graduate of USC."</p>
<p>bigGreen, somehow I thought you might take it that way...;)</p>
<p>shogun, you know we're just kidding! :)</p>
<p>And they took her name - Paige - off of the arena that was donated to the University of Missouri by her father. I guess they don't have an Honor Code at USC.</p>
<p>what a disgrace--why did she even bother going to college--usc football?</p>
<p>wouldn't your professors notice if you hadn't produced any original work over 3-1/2 years? What was she doing all of that time, shopping?</p>
<p>At his 15 years of age, my younger son doesn't care about brains. He was equally impressed with the Texas cheerleaders. There is not doubt about the fact that it was a great game.</p>
<p>Still, Go Navy!</p>
<p>Oh, my husband just told me that at te Army/Navy game he thought the USNA cheerleaders were very hot! He said that he thought they looked even better than USC's. GO NAVY</p>
<p>and the USNA cheerleaders are midshipmen! Hey, what did he think about their teeth??? Was he even looking at their teeth? BigGreen didn't notice cheerleaders even have teeth--he was looking at their concealed weapons.</p>
<p>GO NAVY! BEAT ARMY!</p>
<p>I pointed out to my son how attractive the USMA cheerleaders are (I won't comment on the USMA cheerleaders except to say that they'd look good to any submarine crew who'd been underwater for six months) - my son's attitude about thinking about his classmates as women is not to. He says he's better off not thinking about it and I guess not looking.</p>
<p>(I asked oregon mom about teeth because her husband is a dentist, in case anyone was wondering why I was asking about teeth.)</p>

<p>Are you eating chocolate and drinking merlot?</p>
<p>Wait a second. Who's eating chocolate and drinking merlot? And why I am not there?</p>
<p>chocolate and merlot??? no, no--- need a good aged cheese- some crisp apples - save the chocolate for the apertif! :)</p>
<p>personally, a full-bodied cabernet with cheese and fruit sounds good to me...</p>
<p>This week it's the HARD STUFF!</p>
