Ah, Today would have  been  a brighter day if USC won last night.

USC' s football team is like titanium. Invincible, lustrous, yet brittle around the edges. Last night demonstrated that. The Texas team was exceptional  and focused on the brittle edges of titanium.

I met some great people from Texas this last week and will never forget them or the  game. It was one of the best games I have ever watched.

Our city and team lost to a great opponent. Hats of to them. New year, new opponents, new discoveries, new victories, new chances, new changes  await us in  2006. We welcome victory as well as defeat. It can only make you stronger.

Bring it on...
