So I scored some tickets to the SC vs UW this weekend from a fellow Microsoftie who didn't want to go for some reason. The seats were pretty good but my boy and I had to switch to the SC visitor section at halftime so we could really enjoy the game. It was a very good time even though everyone knew who was going to win. Since that was already decided everyone could just drink, eat, converse, and wait for Bush to get the ball. The Huskies spent more time talking trash about their team than we did. Maybe they wanted to take away all the good jokes before we got a chance to tell them. Their was still PAC-10, West Coast love from both sides. You could tell they still love their guys even after yelling "You Suck!" and things like at them for missing tackles. The funny thing about going to SC home football games is that the young freshman, sophomore, even juniors have never actually seen the team lose. They don't know what its like to walk home shaking your head, wondering what the hell just happened, after a bad loss. They never watched the team struggle and gradually improve into a juggernaut. So sometimes people get a little out of hand, but this Saturday it was pretty laid back and the weather was perfect which is saying a lot for late-October Seattle. It was actually hot for a while.
    Also funny, I actually ran into UW QB Isaiah Stanback at a stand-up comedy show at the Paramount theatre after the game. I didn't have time to change so I was in my USC sweatshirt and cap. Of course I don't know him but he looked at my attire and quickly looked away as if he didn't see me. He also got bagged on for his dreadlocks by the host when he came in late after intermission but I don't want to get jumped by a pack of Huskies so I won't repeat it.
