Trojan fan in the making!

Daddy, Matt, and Tommy Trojan

While in Southern California last week, we visited the USC campus, Nick's alma mater, and took Matt for his first tour. Nick grabbed Matt for a few pics with Tommy.

Watch out, there's a bit of a smile.

Matt gives his Heisman pose in this one, football and all!

He just wouldn't let go of that football!

Football in the grass

After the Tommy photo shoot, we decided it was time to let Matt run around in front of Bovard Hall a bit! We had just gotten him his football at the bookstore, and he wanted to try it out.

Here he is running after the football. We had to keep throwing it to the middle of the grassy area, because he kept trying to get onto the sidewalks and run free!

An action photo to make a daddy proud!

Matt still has his George Jefferson walk at times, and this time he adds it to his run!

A little advertising with a clear logo shot! It's all about product placement.

Matt looks for a receiver...

He strolls off to get yet another cleverly placed ball, in the middle of the grassy area.

Matt runs off for the football with my encouragement to run faster! He ran off a lot of energy, and was very reluctant to get back into the stroller.

We visited the football practice field and tried to find some players, but no luck. Then we took Matt to Heritage Hall to see the 5 USC Heisman trophies, among other prestigious awards/trophies. That's where he learned how to say "FOOTBALL" in a deep, football player kind of voice! He even said it for some of the athletic department administrators, who were quite amused at his enthusiasm. Gotta start them early, right?
