The Rose Bowl is underway! Stay tuned for possible audio posts from the Rose Bowl. I have recruited Chris and Andrew as BrendanLoy.com Pasadena Correspondents. :)

UPDATE: Touchdown Colbert! 7-0 USC!

UPDATE: Trojans just got robbed of a second Colbert touchdown. He caught it, fumbled it, and recovered it in the end zone, but instead it was ruled an incomplete pass. And then, to make matters worse, Killeen missed the field goal. So it’s still 7-0.

HALFTIME UPDATE: 14-0 Trojans!

YET ANOTHER UPDATE: Colbert scored again… 21-0 USC! Can you say “#1″? :)

We’re heading back to the hotel now, so any updates for the next little while will have to be mobile.

Well, yesterday was an interesting day for me, to say the least. I made several visits to the porcelain goddess (for the uninitiated, that means I barfed), and I nearly fainted on the subway en route to picking up Becky at the airport. Once Becky arrived, she did a great job taking care of me, and I pretty much spent New Year’s Eve lying in bed, drinking lots of water and ginger ale and Sprite.

Today, I’m feeling considerably better… but not quite well enough to risk another subway ride, yet. :) So instead of going to that USC alumni club gathering at the sports bar in Arlington, I’m taking it easy and watching the Rose Bowl at Becky’s Uncle Rick & Aunt Evelyn’s place.
