Draft Day 2010

Day 1 of the draft pretty much sucked. I don't like this new concept, but it did get me thinking.

I'm also a little pissed that nobody from SC got drafted. Part of me felt that Pete OWED it to us. I know that sounds crazy, but it's just how I feel.

These players are all pretty young, and there are several I would love to interview so here is my current DREAM interview list & why...

Actually...let's see if you guys can guess 5 players/coaches that would make my cut ;)

Here is a throwback from the 2006 Draft, when my Cards drafted TWO Trojans

Draft DAy 2010

Is on Thursday April 22...that really puts a dent in my plans.

My options are coming home and live blogging, or going to the Cardinals Draft Day Party :)

Will keep you guys posted!

C'Mon Riley!!!!

don't be dumb!!!

Pick USC :)

Kurt

The boys at work know me oh so well.

Kurt Warner retired which means, more than likely, Bretty Boy will follow suit.

Convo #1:

Me: Oh man Kurt-

Male Coworker 1: Warner retired

Me: Yes! Do you know what that means?

Male Coworker 1: That when Brett Favre retires and unretires the Cards are going to hire him?

Me: Um no. Leinart gets to start. IF The Cards hired Brett, I'd quit the team

Convo #2

Male Coworker #2 (aka a HUGE lakers fan): Hey Glitz. Did you hear Kurt retired and the Cards are hiring Brett!

Me: Really? Is that what you heard? 'Cause I heard that Kobe and Lamar are leaving LA for the Sun

Male Coworker #2: *walks off*

Funny how they know me oh so well.

I'm sad that Kurt is retiring, but I'm glad that Matt will get the playing time he deserves. He's toned down the partying, and he's working hard.

As long as he stays focused, I think Matt will be an awesome NFL QB. They don't just handout Heisman trophies to mediocre players...

Best of luck in the future KW. God Bless.

No Comment...

I cried about PC leaving, but I am not voicing my opinion on here about the new hires until the season starts.

The end.

Teardrops on my guitar...

I've kinda being reacting a little irrationally (re: PC) lately. While I haven't been as extreme as others taking it out on MG, I have been sad and confused. I really don't even have a reason to be sad and confuse. USC and Pete Carroll don't owe me anything.

At 16, I was a Senior in HS. Leaving in Georgia, my top two choices for college where University of Missouri and the University of Southern California.

That fall, I was more wrapped up into high school football, and figuring out where I would be next year. #1 thing on my list- a school with a football program and #2- a school with a GREAT journalism department.

Missouri was leading USC. From September-October I was pretty confident that I'd be going to middle of nowhere Columbia the following fall.

I even remember taking a trip up to Charlotte for a Panthers game, where a former player of Coach Dad's was teasing me about the Tigers. (He was a Wolverine). But something changed my friends. In mid-October. It was October 19th (good thing I have my journals from hs), I met a person who change my mind and my life. The woman's name was Ruthie- she was interviewing me for admission to USC. To quote the 16 year old me "The interview was awesome! I hope I can go to USC." I'd be lying to you if I told you I saw the loss to Stanford the night before. The 32-30 loss mind you...

I was living in SEC country. Pac-10 games were far and few between, and it was a Wednesday game- plus a school night.

That night all I wanted, and all I talked about was USC. Life happens people. I am a firm believer in "everything happens for a reason." I ended up not going to USC the following fall, but a small school that lacked #1 & #2 on my musts lists. A school that gave me opportunities to meet and interview some amazing musicians, and make friends that would last a lifetime. That's what college is about...but one thing was for sure...I was NOT going to settle for adopting an SEC team.

I HAD to have a college football team, and if I couldn't have USC, well USC could have me as a fan. So for me, the first football season as a USC fan, was Pete Carroll's as a coach. I have NEVER known a USC without Pete Carroll.

There are many moments of USC football that I love rewatching, and some moments that I could do without, but there will aways be USC football, and I will always have my Trojan fam that has so kindly accepted me (you guys know who you are).

I wish Coach Carroll all the best in Seattle, and wait with intrigue what awaits Trojan Nation in Los Angeles.

Much love- Glitz

Good luck...

To my Cards. Good luck tomorrow! Love ya!

xoxo- Glitz

neglect...

I suck at life guys. I promise I'll update more regularly, and I let you down. Today has officially sucked more than the entire Trojan season....

It's all speculation, and I hope it isn't true, but Pete Carroll is rumored to go to Seattle and coach in the NFL...

McKnight and Williams are skipping their last year and declared for the NFL Draft...

Aaron Corp transfered to Richmond, this was announced yesterday, and while most Trojans love to hate on #2...it's still a piece to this puzzle...

The most we can do is just sit here and wait...

WTF?

Saturday Night. I think that sums it up nicely.

the prettiest hair in college football...

I cannot believe I am doing this. I am praying one of my Pac 10 readers finds a Pac 1o player to replace this, but I cannot help it...

Riley Cooper, a Gator, has the prettiest hair in college football. Saturday night, I was going back and forth between the fight for #2 in the Pac 10 and the game that most people dubbed "the REAL National Championship Game" It pained me really, but the Pac 10 game, well I am still not over it so I need to talk about Cooper's pretty hair ;) There was a moment during the game, where Cooper was on the sideline (I think talking to UM) and he pulls off his helmet and his hair is just so perfect and flowy. Joshua (of Bumpshack fame) compared to to the scene in Shrek when Prince Charming takes off his helmet. I totally agreed.

So ladies and gent...unless you can find me a Pac 10 player with prettier hair, the 'Glitz Prettiest Hair in CFB Award' goes to Mr. Riley Cooper.
