it's totally logical. isn't it?

listen. it's not easy being a "diehard" minnesota sports fan. even though my minne teams bring me mostly disappointment, shattered dreams and a deep-seeded feeling of longing, i will forever be loyal to my

• timberwolves
• vikings
• twins
• wild(s)
  

but that's where i am drawing a line in the sand these days.

see, i wasn't a college football fan nor was i a soccer fan when i lived in minnesota. so i don't even know where my loyalty would lie if i were to all of sudden become a college football or soccer fan. oh! but wait! now that i've officially lived on los angeles for seven years, i've come to learn that there are other sports beyond the traditional professional sports. and, as such, i do believe i have every right to be an adopted USC fan. check this little ditty out: my college roommate's brother went to USC. and now he's a viking. so i think that gives me every right to root for the maroon and yellow. or whatever USC's colors are. doesn't it?

kenechi udeze!

and soccer. well. if there was ever a reason to become a soccer fan, it would be this guy here:

and if there was ever a reason to root for an LA soccer team, it would be this piece of hot juicy news right here:
