It’s Friday before THE game, get yourself a Double-Double cheeseburger from the In-N-Out Burger truck in the parking lot on your way into the faculty lunchroom. Before you sit down to enjoy your lunch, you have a decision to make. On which side of the table will you sit?
Saturday is the big football game between longtime crosstown rivals USC and UCLA 1:30 PT at the Rose Bowl Stadium. Not surprisingly, at the K-8 school where I work here in Southern California, there are voracious fans on both sides, all good-natured and spirited! Many of the faculty and staff are graduates of one of these two universities, and those that are not get into the fun by sporting a sweatshirt from their own alma mater.
The lunch table is equitably and fabulously decorated by Judy (a USC fan herself) half the table with USC memorabilia, the other half representing UCLA. There have been 77 match-ups between UCLA and USC with USC winning 42 times, UCLA 28 times, and 7 tie games. Last year’s score: USC 24, UCLA 7.
Where are you sitting? Me, I’m neutral, I’ll sit in any open seat, except when it comes to the Fighting Illini. Then I sit with the Orange and Blue!
UPDATE:
Final Score 2008 Match-Up: USC 28, UCLA 7

Ooohh In & Out Burger…my first stop off the plane every time I visit my aunt in Huntington Beach, CA. My mouth is watering at the sight of that burger!
First of all great burgers!! But I am going to have to go with UCLA!!! That is where my dad went to school. Looks like fun…
What a fun table! She did a really good job there! We don’t have an In and Out Burger but we do have a 5 Guys Burger and Fries which is pretty awesome 🙂
