The University

It isn't a secret that I am a die hard Wolf Pack fan. I will always have a special place in my life for the University of Nevada. Truthfully it is a small university, but Nevada has always been a great school for a sports fan myself. My first couple of years in Reno, the Wolf Pack was a dominant basketball force, followed by the unbelievable success of the Nevada football program led by Hall of Fame coach Chris Ault and our record breaking quarterback Colin Kaepernick. Even though we are a great University, because we aren't a huge, nationally recognized school like Ohio State or Notre Dame, we get little to no respect even when Colin leads the team to a 13-1 record his senior year all the while breaking a handful of nationally held records.

What does this have to do with anything? Well my little rant leads me to this point. I feel the same way about USC. Because they are who they are, they get treated like gods in the athletic world. As long as they win 7-8 games, theyre going to the Rose Bowl no matter what. On the other hand, teams like Nevada, Boise State, and TCU Have to win out and perform incredible magic to even get a look. Thus, I have always had some animosity toward USC. The fact that I hate California probably adds to it as well.

So here I am now, sitting in the Norris Cancer Center at, none other than, the University of Southern California. And, all of a sudden, I find myself not hating USC like I did before. Obviously. Maybe I still dislike the Trojan Athletics program, but this place is amazing. I have all the faith in these doctors, and mine are doing great thing.

Basically, I love USC. At least from an academic standpoint. Maybe I can still dislike the Trojans athletically, but truthfully, the doctors here are great and I have all the faith that they will get me to the health I want.
