USC

Take a close look at these USC tickets. That's right....it says ROW 1! Matt's mom Carol is a professor at USC and a few weeks ago she was asked to be the guest coach for a game. She invited Matt to go with her, and naturally he couldn't refuse!

They got to meet the coach Pete Carroll, get pictures with him and got a personal tour of the locker rooms and the whole stadium before anyone arrived. This a view from the top.

The team getting ready to play.

Matt and Carol got to be right on the field while they warmed up. Do football teams warm up? I have no idea, but I assume so. (As you can see I wouldn't have enjoyed this day nearly as much as Matt did since I know diddely about football) Matt got a new USC shirt and visor, and even little Kprow got a USC trojan horse baby mobile! Unfortunately by the end of the day Matt and his mom also had acquired a souvenir sunburn that nicely matched their red shirts.

And another shot of the field so you can jealously view how close they really were to the players. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity for Matt and he had a blast, especially since USC smoked San Jose even before half time.
