Arbo's '09 resolution: Tool time never ends

Do you really want to know how USC radio play-by-play man Pete Arbogast:

A) Forgot to get a parking pass to the Rose Bowl, but his scoreboard update guy did, so Pete decided to bum a ride with him, leaving his wife and kid to fend for themselves?

B) Got stuck inside some ropes for 30 minutes?

C) Geocached?

D) Couldn't beg a meeting with Joe Paterno?

E) Used an ex-UCLA quarterback's prep notes?

F) Left his wife and kid to try to find some "very scarce" scalper tickets, but they couldn't, so they went home back to Venice and missed the first quarter? (Read the stories in the paper about some people who were able to buy 50-yard line seats for $395 a pair if you're wondering how tough they were to find -- and the SC VOYCE couldn't arrange for tickets for his family on his own?)

G) "Our post game show runs 30 minutes over, and no one seems to mind." Except, maybe his wife, who drove all the way back to pick him up and waited in the cold parking lot in the car for him to come down. "She's the one!"

It's all there on the Jan. 2, 2009 inaugural Arboblog post on WeAreSC.com (linked here). And now we throw it over to Rory Markas for the start of the USC basketball Pac-10 season ...
