Day two involved the Nebraska-USC game at the historic LA Coliseum. Taking a subway/train from Little Tokyo to the USC campus was fast and easy. Train sticked full of Husker fans wearing cornheads and chanting Go Big Red much to the dismay of a poor woman just trying to get to work.
The Coliseum is over 100 years old and the things that have been held there is amazing, The Olympics, USC glory days, Dodger baseball, national championship games. The game itself was just barely watchable. Two 5-5 teams battling it out to see who wanted to lose more, Go Big Red, cuz nobody wants to lose more than us.
15000 Husker fans made a lot of noise. And 50000 USC fans gave it right back. Seated in the end zone under the massive scoreboard and where the game itself looked like a bunch of ants running around and the scoreboards at the other end were too tiny for old guys to read. Hey, the band, the horse, the Trojan (I guess the used condom we found in the fountain meant Go Trojans) and the lighting of the flame at the beginning of the fourth quarter. It was all worth the trip. Yeah, the Huskers lost but whatever, we are used to it. Hey, Husker fan in your 50's, no need to dress up in a full uniform, including shoulder pads and a helmet. You look ridiculous.
Back on the train to Litte Tokyo and a walking trip around at night was very interesting, lots of restaurants, lots of pop-up shops including a store completely geared to Godzilla fans which of course Max had to visit. This is truly a diverse town, and I love it.
Back home after a side trip to The Stockroom (google it). Verrryyy interesting indeed.
