I went straight from the airport to the Rose Bowl Stadium and started tailgating with fans from both the Illini and SC side.&#160; It first appeared that the Illini Nation would be vastly outnumbered, but as the morning progressed the Illini faithful began showing up in droves.&#160; My overall opinion of SC fans is that they are arrogant and pompous, but that does not apply to everyone.&#160; My new friend Jose was generous enough to share some Mexican beer and burritos for an early breakfast, as well as his warm space heater.&#160; Thanks to some other friends I was warned that the Rose Bowl will be cold in the morning, and it was.&#160; Once the sun rose the party really started, and I went from lot to lot tailgating.&#160; The fun almost stopped as we entered the stadium.&#160; The Illini were embarrassed 49-17.&#160; Despite the crushing lose Reshard Mendenhall had a game the pro scouts were looking for out of a starting running back.&#160; His 80 yard run was the highlight of the game for Illini fans.&#160; With several key players returning for the Illini I hope to make the trip again, and possibly watch the parade this time around.&#160; </p> <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://hagel.vox.com/library/post/rose-bowl---new-year.html?_c=feed-rss-full#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00d41425a6a36a4700e398cf26860004?_c=feed-rss-full">Send to a friend</a> </p> california usc illinois new years pasadena rose bowl illini http://hagel.vox.com/library/post/mcnamaratroy.html?_c=feed-rss-full nobody@vox.com(Hagel) http://hagel.vox.com/library/post/mcnamaratroy.html?_c=feed-rss-full http://hagel.vox.com/library/post/mcnamaratroy.html?_c=feed-rss-full Tue, 30 Oct 2007 13:51:37 -0700 <div at:enclosure="asset" at:xid="6a00d41425a6a36a4700e398b863db0003" at:format="large" at:align="right" class="enclosure enclosure-right enclosure-large video-enclosure" style="text-align: center;

Tonight is the season 5 premiere and the two doctors are ready to unveil their work on the haven of plastic surgery.&#160; I am excited to see what ridiculous operation they will undergo this season.&#160; The show is not too graphic, just too much for FOX.&#160; Now that they are in LA I want to see some better stars than Rosie O&#39;Donnell.&#160; Nip/Tuck and the partnership of McNamara/Troy in Hollywood start tonight at 10PM. </p> <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://hagel.vox.com/library/post/mcnamaratroy.html?_c=feed-rss-full#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00d41425a6a36a4700e398b862120004?_c=feed-rss-full">Send to a friend</a> </p> la california hollywood fx nip/tuck
