"Perseverance is a great element of success. If you only knock long enough and
loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody."
GO STANFORD
Today is a big day. At 5:00 pm PST Maggie's Stanford football team plays UCLA football for the Pac-12 Championship. The game is held here at the Stanford Stadium. Maggie has been a big supporter of the team all season. She's donned her Stanford scarf, shouted out WOOF, WOOF's to cheer her home team on. Our typical sunny weather is overshadowed by dark and rainy weather this morning. But, one never knows in California, the weather could clear up later today. If not, then our team will be sloshing through the raindrops to forge ahead and get that Pac-12 Championship win. Maggie's sibling will be at the game. She'll send us live updates from the field. If our Stanford team wins, then it is on to the Rose Bowl on January 1, 2013! Maggie likes flowers. She's all about smelling roses of success. One thing we do know is Maggie's home team has fought long and hard knocking at the gate of success. We are really proud of them and all that they have achieved. Stanford football players have shown humility and team spirit. Maggie and I are a team. We know, like the Stanford football team knows, that there is no "I" in teamwork. Keep knocking Stanford football!
WOOF! WOOF! GO STANFORD!
Meanwhile, Maggie will try and relax until game time.... no easy feat.
UPDATE! After raining all day and at the game, it finally rained roses in Palo Alto! Perseverance paid off. The door was open. Pac-12 Champions! Stanford is going to the Rose Bowl on January 1, 2013!
