As I told you when you came out to California last week. 2005 was a magical year. We Trojan fans were treated to 2 of the most amazing games that we will probably ever witness. 2006 Rose Bowl, and the 2005 USC @ ND. One was a victory, and one was a loss, but both were incredible to be a part of.

My Dad and I were sitting in the stands both looking at each other knowing that the Irish were going to win when it was 3rd and 19. I even said “I think they got us.” Then 2 plays later Jarrett is sprinting down the sidelines, and we were alive again.

 I’ll never forget the PA annoucer ordering the ND crowd off the field or ND would receive a penalty. All the students cleared off, and there was Charlie Weis, refusing to budge off the 50 yard line. The ref was staring him down, and had his hand on the flag when Weis’ assistants physically yanked him back to the sideline.

Despite what anyone thinks about the Bush Push, I think the refs got it right. No one is ever called for pushing someone forward in a game, especially on a sneak.

That game was a rollercoaster. I doubt I will ever witness another game that pulled my emotions in so many different ways during the last 3 minutes.
