Living a Dream

David is a HUGE USC fan. I think it all started a couple of years back when David was the right size to fit into a USC jersey that Ez's uncle had given him when he was young. That was just pretty cool to be wearing Dad's old jersey. Then David got old enough to really enjoy watching and understanding football and his love for USC football grew from there.

Last year Ez took David out to Stanford to watch USC play there. That was pretty special, and David has been looking forward to the chance to get to go down to LA to actually see them play at the LA Coliseum. Well, David and Ez were finally able to make that happen just after Thanksgiving.. It was a whirlwind trip--there and back in one day--but they had the time of their lives!

Ez and David were particularly lucky that Ez has become friends with someone on the inside with USC football, and they were able to get really great seats to the USC vs. UCLA game--for free!

Upon arriving in LA, they picked up the tickets, and then went out to eat at the ESPN Zone. They had a great time eating man's food (ribs). Yes, the food was good. BUT, the bathroom was better! It was fun and fancy--and filled with TVs so that you don't have to worry about missing any part of the game during a personal emergency!!! There was also a very nice man willing to pass you a paper towel after washing your hands. David was very, very impressed!

They got to the Coliseum early enough to walk around and really explore everything. Ez and David loved their seats. David brought enough money to buy himself a USC foam finger, which he proudly used in cheering on his team. And the best part? USC beat UCLA. Hooray!

Ez and David had a great day, and real special time together they will not soon (or ever) forget!

***DISCLAIMER***
Ez and the rest of the family still really love BYU and hope that one day David converts and decides that BYU is acceptable of his enthusiasm.
