It's Rivalry Week! Beat theBruins! In fact, beat on them like a drum! I want to hear "Tusk" played about a dozen times.

To get you fired up for Saturday's game we have the great John "JJ" Jackson coming down for lunch on Friday, please make plans to join us. The homepage of this website has complete details for making reservations and directions to the Bayview Restaurant.

How about that Thanksgiving Day game? The only turkeys on the field were the refs. It's tough enough to play 22 fired up ASU-types, but when you have to overcome the officials... The zebras must have tken the three points.

But, what a great day. A nice 50-mile bike ride in the morning, yummy turkey with my mom, dad, sister, and our families, then pie and ice cream on the TV trays watching our beloved Trojans just carve up the Sun Devils. It should have been 44-3.

I hope St. Pete and the Boys have plans to lay 40 or 50 on the gutty little bruins. Come join us Friday and get some insight on how this is going to happen. See you then as we celebrate the season (and The Season) and look forward to the Rose Bowl (and all is right in the world!)

Fight On! Beat the Bruins!

San Diego Trojans,

The Run for the Roses starts NOW! Well, Thanksgiving anyway. Beat the Sun Devils! I like our chances against ASU and ucla, and if we win out good things will happen for our 10-2 Trojans.

Big props to all the San Diego Trojans who made the journey north to sit in that godawful weather and help bring us home a victory over the Bears. Sitting in my nice warm living room I could still hear the Trojan faithful and the Band much louder than the Cal section.

JJ is next on the agenda. Make your plans and mark your calendars for November 30 when our final football luncheon will take place featuring John "JJ" Jackson. JJ is a former USC All-American and scholastic All-American as well. Now with Fox Sports covering high school and college football, he is our traditional season wrap-up speaker and always draws a huge crowd. So, make your reservations today. We'll review the 2007 season, scout the ucla game, and look forward to our bowl appearence.

Speaking of the USC-ucla game, there's still room, I think, on the rooter bus to the Coliseum. With gas at a zillion dollars per gallon it's the best deal in town with food and drinks included.

The officers and board of directors of the Trojan Club of San Diego wish all Trojans a very happy Thanksgiving.

Fight On! Beat the Sun Devils!

San Diego Trojans,

A tremendous "thank you" to Rob Preston and Gordon Adams, quarterbacks from the great -78 & '79 teams, for coming to address our football luncheon last Friday. It doesn't get any better than a bunch of Trojans having the chance to talk some football and share some stories from a storied past. The guys were great, informative and entertaining, and if you missed it you missed a special afternoon.

Our next, and final, football luncheon will be November 30 featuring John "JJ" Jackson. JJ is a Trojan All-American and current FSN football commentator. It's a tradition that JJ close our annual luncheon series and he's always been well received.

Homecoming was a blast! We hosted two full buses, Ray Weber, Carol Wooten, and Pat Park did land office business at our booth across from Tommy Trojan, and, oh yeah, the football team didn't do too badly either, especially if you like defense.

If you're not lucky enough to make the trip to San Francisco for next weekend's game with Cal, please make plans to join us at the Bullpen in Encinitas. As always, check the homepage of this website for all information regarding away game viewing, bus reservations, football luncheons, and all our other TCSD events.

I guess that's it, except for one more thing:

Fight On! Beat the Bears!
