OakMonster.com - Matt Barkley - USC QB Facial Hair Curse

Dear Matt, Oh Matt. Matty Matt, Matt. What’s with the ‘stache, bro? WHAT’S. WITH. THE. ‘STACHE?!?! When are people going to take this USC Quarterback Facial Hair Curse seriously? It has been consistent almost every year!  Sanchez. Booty. Leinart. Palmer. “What is WRONG with the team today?!?” “Wait. Was that…? Is that…??

Amy and Oakley

Shift your gear, people. We’re coming out of the summer movie geek out and going into fall USC football madness. From tomorrow through Thanksgiving, count me out for any Saturday activities.  Thankfully, many games this season will be in the evening, so I won’t have to miss much of my Italian lessons starting up in a few weeks. What? Italian classes on Saturday mornings during football season?  Are you mad!?  As my husband would say, “you did that to yourself.” Yeah, I guess I’m masochistic that way.
