More Important Than Sports

Randypausch_3 Sad news today in the non-sports world: Randy Pausch died.

For the uninitiated, his inspirational tale will rock your world -- an all-around nice guy who turned personal tragedy into a blessing for millions.

All great teams need great coaches, and in the game of life Coach Randy is a first ballot hall-of-famer. I encourage you to take a couple hours this weekend to watch his videos and read up. Just Google him. You won't regret a moment -- and that's the whole idea.

Adam Rose learned about the highs and lows of USC athletics while going to school. As a freshman, he watched the football team crash to the bottom of the Pac 10. By the time he was a senior, he was in the stands for a National Championship. In between, he liked to argue points as a member of the Trojan Debate Squad. Nowadays, he's just looking to tell a good story. He is currently Sports Editor for LAist, where he covers a wide range of local action. He can also be seen weekly on KNBC 4's News Raw. Adam manages special events in the sports community when he isn't participating himself (he staggered through the LA Marathon and can often be found on local soccer fields). If you have a question about the Trojans or just want to give him a piece of your mind, email: adam@laist.com.
