Was just listening to AM 710 and i know they broadcast every suc game, but i just heard a pathetic promo pimping their basketball team... essentially it said:

"we're really proud of suc basketball for making it to the second round of the ncaa tournament because it sure beats going to the NIT! congratulations and way to go pac-10 champions."

um...hello?!? isn't this the same media people that blasted UCLA for running newspaper ads about monopolies? Isn't this the equivalent of us running an ad saying "congratulations to ucla on getting beat down by a mountain west team in the las vegas bowl because it sure beats having Karl Dorrell as your coach."

so many things stupidly wrong with that promo it made my brain hurt. if you head over to usctrojans.com you'll also find that they're selling t-shirts commemorating their pac-10 tourney championship.

"The Most Difficult Feat in Team Sports"

I saw an interesting article highlighting how difficult it is to win on the road in college basketball. I know the stats are swung a lot in favor of major programs who invite smaller schools to their house for preseason games but I still think it is a great indication of what an EXCELLENT job our coach and his staff are doing to prepare our team game in and game out. May we never take it for granted~!
