San Diego Trojans,

The Rose Bowl is just four days away. It's our home away from home, and for the oldtimers there's nothing better than the Pac-10 vs. the Big-10 in the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day.

If you're not going to the game please join the Trojan Club of San Diego at the Ramada Inn & Conference Center at 5550 Kearny Mesa Road right off Hwy 163 for the 2:00 p.m. kick-off.

The chef at our "official" home is preparing a special sport's buffet to be served from kick-off until the end of the game. It will be $15 per adult and $5.50 per child, so bring the whole family and eat, drink, and root on the Trojans.

We'll also have Trojan and Trojan Club merchandise and our famous raffle. Tell all your friends and family to meet us at the Ramada for the big victory!

Happy New Year! Fight On! Beat the Illini!

President 2007-2009

President's Message

The Officers and the Board of Directors of the Trojan Club of San Diego wish all San Diego Trojans a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a very Happy New Year (complete with a Rose Bowl victory).

Trojans, in general, and the Trojan Club of San Diego, in particular, had a very good 2007. And, your Trojan Club is going to keep it going even bigger and better in 2008.

It all starts with the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day against the University of Illinois. If you're not going to the game please make plans to join us at the "official" home of the Trojan Club of San Diego, the Ramada Inn & Conference Center in Kearny Mesa (5550 Kearny Mesa Blvd). Kick off is at 2:00 p.m. and we'll be there to watch all the action with food, fun, and raffles.

Next up is the USC vs. UCLA basketball game on January 19th. Again, we'll meet at the Ramada Inn at 12:30 p.m. to watch the game.

To wrap up the 2007 football season, former Trojan greats Darrell Rideaux and Brandon Hancock will visit us for a luncheon program on Thursday, January 24th. We'll review the 2007 season, the 2008 Rose Bowl, recruiting and Letter of Intent Day, and look forward to the 2008 season.

February 2nd brings the Men's Volleyball team to town to play UCSD. Keep checking the website as we're trying to put together a dinner with the team and a "chalk talk" from the coaches before we head over to the RIMAC Center for the 7:00 p.m. match.

The Trojan Club has reserved 50 tickets for the USC vs. Oregon State basketball game on February 23rd. Road trip! $30 for the ticket only, and $50 for the ticket and the bus ride to Galen Center.

It's going to be a busy winter for the Trojan Club of San Diego. Make plans to join us when you can. We continue to endeavor to bring you fun and interesting events and we appreciate your support.

Have a great 2008!

Fight On! Beat the Illini!

San Diego Trojans,

So, we're a soccer school! I thought soccer was just a bunch of socialists playing for a tie. Now, the Women of Troy are National Champions! Congratulations!

The Women's Volleyball team is in the final four of the NCAA championships in Sacramento. Knock off Stanford and THEY'RE in the finals!

It hasn't been a bad fall to be a Trojan. We know how the football team's doing; Men's Water Polo finished second in the NCAAs; Women's Soccer are the champions, and Women's VB is still alive to bring home a second championship in a week.

Closer to home, your Trojan Club has completed its fall schedule of events and we averaged almost 75 at each of our five football luncheons and our two buses were consistantly almost 90% filled. Thank you all for your support of our events, we hope you had fun.

Keep checking the website for next year's events. In the works are a luncheon centered around Letter of Intent Day featuring Darrell Rideaux, Brandon Hancock, and, hopefully, the lovely and gracious Lindsay Soto; a team dinner with the Men's Volleyball team when they come to San Diego to beat up on UCSD, and a spring dinner featuring a position coach from the football team.

We endeavor to provide great events that keep San Diego Trojans in touch with USC. We're always open for suggestions so please don't ever hesitate to contact one of us and give us the benefit of your thinking.

Have a Merry Christmas and happy holiday time, and...

Fight On! Beat the Illini!

Rose Bowl baby! Bring on the Illini!

It's great to be a Trojan! It's always great to be a Trojan, especially if it means meeting a Big 10 team in the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day after beating the gutty little bruins to get there. And, oh by the way, how many coaches have now been sacked after fruitless encounters with the Mighty Trojans?

While we're at it, congratulations to the Mens Water Polo team who finished second in the NCAA's over the weekend, and to the Womens Soccer Team who have reached the NCAA semi-finals and all they have to do is bury the bruins and they're in the finals as well.

Many thanks to John "JJ" Jackson and Garry Paskeiwitz for slugging their way through the horrendous rain-soaked traffic to get down here and address our final football luncheon of the year. Thanks also to Ron Fletcher for stepping in and keeping the crowd pacified while we waited for our two lost souls. For the record, JJ got the number of touchdowns given up by USC correct, for the second year in a row, while missing slightly on the offensive production (He predicted 35-7).

Your Trojan Club while be sponsoring at least one bus to the Rose Bowl game, so if you're interested make your call now (see the homepage of this website for the phone numbers) so we make sure we can accommodate everyone who wants to ride.

Continue to check the website for our upcoming events including (but not limited to) a recruiting recap luncheon in late January, an event surrounding the Mens Volleyball visit to San Diego, and a position coach's dinner in early spring.

Thank you for all your support of TCSD's activities. "The Trojans will be great in O-8!"

Fight On! Beat the Illini!
