Andrew Michael Ends Speculation - Declares for USC!

Andrew Michael Santarosa, son of Teresa and Michael, nephew of Michelle, Natalie, Nora, Victor, Jose and Johnnie and first grandson of Andy and Ana Maria Katnik was born this Friday in Sacramento, California. He came in at 9lbs 13oz. Mother, father, and baby are doing well and are accepting congratulations from their coast to coast family and friends. When the news broke, team jets with senior coaching staffs were immediately dispatched and headed to Sacramento from all over the country including Gainesville, Fl., Baton Rouge, La. , Ann Arbor, Mi., the Nittany Valley in Pennsylvania and, of course, Southern California, among other places. Andrew Michael ended all speculation on Sunday when he donned a Trojan T-shirt and cap and declared for USC. Head Coach Pete Carroll was ecstatic, pumping his arms in the air and yelling, "Fight On! Fight On!" He told the press, "With Andrew Michael the Trojans will extend their dominance of college football well into the first quarter of the twenty-first century. I am very pleased." Joe Paterno of Penn State seemed dejected. "Santarosa is an Italian name. I thought we had him," the octogenarian coach told the gathered sports writers. University of Florida Gators Head Coach, Urban Meyer, was more philosophical. "USC is such an outstanding team, they have so much depth at every position that I still think we have a shot. I'm not giving up on such a terrific prospect... look at Moody," he told the Sacramento Bee as he boarded his orange and blue plane on his way back to Gainesville. Coach Meyer was referring to Emmanuel Moody, the All-American running back who transferred from USC to Florida this past year.
