Pro Day Conditions

With what is at stake on Pro Day, it’s about time something was done about the facilities. The turf is so old on Cromwell Field most of it is worn off and players are practically running on the black rubber undersurface. And the actual field was measured with a level and found to be going uphill the direction run by the players for the 40-yard dash.

  1. Nice to see Wolf could not have one entry on the SC-uckla basketball game that only ended 45 minutes ago.

    I was there. Well, actually I was there for the second half because when listening to the radio, SC was hanging with them up to halftime, and I thought that a miracle is easier to come by in one-half than a whole game.

    But, alas, it was not to be. Except for the bettors, it was a pretty boring affair. With a 13-point spread, uckla was ahead by 15 with the ball in Mo Jones’ hands, and….well, he lost the ball. And that was the final play for the SC team this season, and a very fitting end it was.

    I will say Mo seems to be the only player who would have a chance to break into next year’s lineup, although I think he would be more effective coming off the bench.

    uckla was nothing to write home about either. I don’t know any of their players except Fatso Smith and the Wear Twins, but who is it, Jones, he played with confidence and could shoot. Every other play out there was pretty average.

    The crowd was about 3000, although I bet they announce it as greater than that. I did not see one person jump up from his/her seat with excitement the entire time. The game had the feel of a pre-season exhibition. So much for the SC-uckla mystique, which is of a bygone era. Will it ever return?

    Of course the crowd had something to do with the “excitement” level, the mean age being about 51.3 I would estimate.

    Final observations: what is with the uckla band wearing Hawaiian shirts with no uckla logo?…and who is the clown by the SC band who is a poor dancer but goes practically nonstop?…and is SC the worst shooting team in college basketball history? I mean, Good Golly Miss Molly, it is hard to watch. But wait until next year (I hope).
