Went to the USC Pep Rally (in anticipation of tomorrow's game against Stanford) at the historic Westin St. Francis Hotel in downtown San Francisco.

Apparently USC has a history of holding the Pep Rally at the St. Francis -- but over the past couple of decades have been holding them elsewhere. Lots of old-timers were thrilled to be back.

I can understand why, the Trojan Marching Band sounded tremendous in the Grand Ballroom.
