| Keeping it Simple Today - USC Football Just sharing some random thoughts before we head off to Vegas. Yep. It's that time of year. We're off to Vegas for bowling league. I hope I do well. I need to win money to help pay off my season tickets for USC football.  So taking that though and running with it... I really like football as a sport. I like to watch it and I get invested in the games. I could never afford season tickets to a pro team, sadly. They are priced out of my price range. My friend at work has season tickets to the Chargers team at SoFi, but they're on the Top Deck and they weren't all that affordable with the budget I have to work with. College football is were I landed and I picked USC because I fell in love with their marching band when we would go to Catalina Island for the 4th of July and they would play in the golf cart parade. I've seen quarterbacks come and go. I'd really like to see Sam Darnold do well. He had a great year with the Vikings last year but I think he moved onto the Seahawks. Not much of a Seahawks fan, but I'll be rooting for Sam. I've seen JD Daniels play, I loved Kedon Slovis and I liked Max Miller. I didn't think Caleb WIlliams was all he was hyped up to be.  That said, USC football is getting pretty pricey too. I've been going to games since about 2013-4, so about 11, 12 years now. I started just getting single game tickets, then I committed to a mini game package. I like mini game packages because you get 2-3 games and it's affordable. I had Season Tickets in 2018. The seats were okay. I had 4 seats because all of us were going back then. That was about 6 games and it was hard to work the schedule to see 6 games. I think I missed 2. Thankfully there are resale sites. Then I did mini games packages again. This year I bit the bullet again and got a season ticket package. This package was just as much as the one I got in 2018 and I only got 2 seats this time! Inflation I figure has a little to do with it as well as USC moved from the PAC 12 to the Big 10 so there are different teams that are more well known around the nation and we're getting 7 games instead of 6. The final bill was around 1500. I almost fainted and asked to be put on the payment plan. I played the Daily 3 and 4 and prayed for some extra dough to come my way. Mind you the seats were about 1300, but I had to pay 200 to be part of the Trojan Athletic Fund to have these seats. My payments were due March, April, and May. $67.00 for the Trojan Athletic Fund and $454.00 for the tickets. March was good. I had some winnings from my Daily 4 lotto and used about 100 from my 52 week savings plan. April was good. I hit the straight on the Daily 3. May - I haven't hit any lotto numbers but I'm hoping to catch some winnings from bowling. I've got the May Trojan Athletic Fund covered. Now I need about $400.00 more bucks. Wish me luck. I blocked out the games in my calendar and I've got Andy who will come with me and some friends so I'm looking forward to it. What did I think of draft? That's another post... |
