President's Message

Who needs basketball? Spring football started today!

Actually, congratulations to the basketball team. They may have been "one and done" in the NCAA's, but OJ Mayo to the contrary notwithstanding, I think they over-achieved given that they had no bench and lost a couple of good ones to the NBA last year. So, congratulations and thank you from your friends in San Diego.

Just a reminder that we've got lots coming up in the next couple of months. The San Diego Crew Classic is April 5/6 all day long on Mission Bay. Head to Crown Point for the best viewing and join the Trojan Club and the crew teams at their barbeque. We're buying!

April 21 is our Spring Dinner with Wide Recievers Coach John Morton. All the information is on the website. The NEW website! www.trojanclubofsandiego.com

Speaking of the new website, it's meant to be interactive so please join up and enjoy the whole website. Many thanks to Travis Walton of The Connection Center for making this happen for us.

Finally, mark your calendars for the Pete Carroll/Tim Floyd Dinner on June 4. And, if you want to have some fun, come out for the Trojan water station at mile 19.5 of the Rock & Roll Marathon on June 1.

Spring football started today and all is right in the world.

Fight On! Beat the Cavaliers!

President 2007-2009

President's Message

San Diego Trojans,

We've got a busy springtime. Our basketball team is starting its run in the NCAAs, spring football starts next week, and your Trojan Club is gearing up.

First, USC opens against Kansas State in the first round of March Madness this Thursday. If you want to watch the game with your fellow Trojans come and join Trojan Great Monroe Nash at the home of the Trojan Club of San Diego, the Ramada Inn & Conference Center. 5550 Kearny Mesa Road. Clairemont Mesa Blvd. at the 163. Tip-off is at 4:10 p.m.

Next up you're all invited for a day in the sun at the San Diego Crew Classic Sunday, April 6. It's bright and early in the morning, but we've invited the Trojan Marching Band down to help root on our mens and ladies crew teams.

April 21 brings our annual Spring Dinner with wide receiver coach John Morton. It will be at the Ramada Inn starting at 5:30 p.m. Make reservations through our new website at www.trojanclubofsandiego.com.

Speaking of the new website, it's all up-to-date in the calendar section. So, please check it out for all the USC teams that are visiting San Diego. And, mark YOUR calendars, the coaches are coming! Pete Carroll and Tim Floyd will be down here on June 4.

Finally, on a personal note, I had a blast at the USC Alumni Volleyball game last Saturday at Galen Center. Coach Ferguson, Coach Holland, and all the players and fellow alums made it another day to remember. Galen is a long way from the old North Gym! I will always be the oldest one on the floor as I played on the first NCAA team, but everyone indulged the Old Guy and I want to thank them all.

Fight On! Beat the Wildcats!
