i will post on a few things. first, the rose bowl. it is disappointing how big the spread was by the end, but i am satisfied with their performance. the first half sucked (which is basically why we lost; we all know that the first half determines the game for the illini) because for some reason they didn't have juice try to throw some passes until the very end. you'd think that after like a million straight laterals to mendenhall then he gets tackled behind the line of scrimmage they would have figured it out. but oh well. props to the defense though, they stopped them an impressive number of times. the second half would have been impressive and competitive except for all of those damn turnovers. i'm not sure why no one could keep a good hold on the ball! like seriously, they were making goods passes and got mendenhall through a few times, and could have easily scored at least two more touchdowns. plus, if you take away the 21 points usc got from turnovers, the game would have been close. i think that they played a great season and put on a decent show (minus the fumbles) but usc gets so much hype that people aren't going to stop trash talking the illini about the game. i was kind of ticked off that with 30 or so seconds left usc could have easily taken a knee, but instead they went for another touchdown to increase the lead to, what, like 39? that's just poor sportsmanship. usc is a better team, as you could see by how well they force turnovers (okay, so many of the fumbles weren't really our fault, they seriously ripped the ball out of our hands) and how easily they can get into the end zone, so i didn't expect us to win, i was just hoping the spread would be 14 or less. the most disappointing part, though, is that it's just going to feed the obnoxiously huge ego that everyone from southern california possesses.
secondly, new year's happened. didn't do much since almost everyone was out of town, but did manage to re-enact freshman year new year's sufficiently. .....................fas;dkvcjas;dlkfasjdf...............
i have been having ridiculous buffalo wild wings cravings lately. it's so odd, i don't even like wings.
i really want to see cloverfield. we'll probably go on jan. 18 or 19 if anyone wants to come.
goals for the rest of break: read the book on visual basic and write a few programs (for fun???), eat at the bread company, and........ okay well i forget the other one but no one really cares so i guess i won't try to figure it out.
