It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year...

Growing up in Los Angeles, a child can not help but overhear certain conversations. If you listen around you'll be sure to catch what the days surf conditions are, possibly the latest celebrity gossip, or even the newest food craze. However, the conversation that you just can not avoid hearing around December is whether you support your fellow Trojans or your fellow Bruins.

It's that time of the year again in Los Angeles. Today is the USC vs. UCLA football games. Throughout the city you will find die hard fans supporting their preferred Los Angeles university. Even the closest bonds, best friends, or in the case of my aunt and uncle, husband and wife, will separate for the day to support their favorite school.

As of the 2007 season, the overall record of the football series is 42 wins for USC, 28 wins for UCLA and 7 ties. However, this competition goes further than football stats, rather which school has more pride. You will find people from head to toe in their schools colors. You can almost see the school spirit running through their veins.

GO TROJANS!
