"This is an exciting time. We finally get to the point where all the excitement and all the build-up and all the talk and the rhetoric are over. Our guys are really pumped up about it. We've had a terrific week. The whole preparation has been solid for us. The last week has really been fun, we've had a very good time. I know you might be wondering how could it be fun when you've done it before, but this was just better. Our kids had a great time, the Rose Bowl really set things up and was run perfectly. The events were all good, the food was awesome, the stay at the hotel was terrific, so it's all been perfectly orchestrated. As we get, finally, to New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, it's rolled out just right. We're looking forward to a big explosion on game day for our team, and I know their team will be loaded and ready to go, too, so it's going to be a great football game I hope and we'll do everything we can to make it that way. We're looking forward to it."<br><br><a href='http://www.usctrojans.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/123106aaa.html' target='_blank'>http://www.usctrojans.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/123106aaa.html</a><br><br>
