Is this why UCLA decided to quit winning championships ump-teen
years ago, Trent?  Because the entire circumference of Pauley is
full and they basically have nowhere to put new banners?

If so I have a suggestion: Why don't we, the members of r.s.b.c, take
up a collection for UCLA's banners.  We'll pay to have them taken
down and shipped to a museum somewhere where they can be displayed 
alongside similar artifacts, like stone knives and mummy cases.

This would free up valuable banner real estate in Pauley for
Ed O'Bannon to start filling up.

LATE NIGHT ON TV

Stations to Air Season Kick-Off

This year, Kansas basketball fans can enjoy Late Night with Roy Williams on
television as well as live at Allen Field House.

Late Night, which marks the beginning of basketball season, will be Oct. 31.
Activities start at 7 p.m. and include a midnight intrasquad scrimmage. The
event traditionally provides fans with a look at their men's basketball team.

WIBW in Topeka, KSMO in Kansas City, Missouri, and KWCH in Wichita are
scheduled to televise Late Nite.

[In case it helps, WIBW airs on Channel 13, and KSMO on Channel 62; I'm not
familiar with Wichita's channels.]

Yeah, I have to admit it is usually pretty dead.  I get to borrow my
parents tix on occasion and am usually told to sit down so that
those behind me can see the game?!?!  (man, I wish we still played
at Carmichael...)

The only game I ever attended where it got really loud was during a Duke 
blowout a couple of years ago.  For the first time, the whole crowd was 
yelling together, and it believe me it was REALLY LOUD!

"Don't give a damn about Duke University..."  It gave me goosebumps.

Of course those people didn't play against USC in 1971, for example.

1964 Oregon State (25-4)                       6       5
1966 Oregon State (21-7)                              15

1971 Southern California (24-2)                5       5
1975 Southern California (18-8)                       12

The Pac-10 wasn't a great conference, but it had some good teams
in those days.

I saw a Duke fan with a sense of humor once.  He didn't even have a chip
on his shoulder.

Unfortunately, Reagan wouldn't give him protection under the endangered
species act, despite the recommendations of our nation's leading
scientists.  When he finally passed away without having mated, the
species went extinct.

An "old time" Carolina fan could probably address this with more certainty
but I believe that the focus of the rivalry from their perspective has
changed a couple of times.  An indicator might be the unoffically official way
they end their fight song.  I'm told that it was originally "Go to Hell,
Duke!" but when I got there in '76, it was "Go to Hell, State!".  That
changed back in '78 or '79  to "..., Duke!", corresponding to the reemergence
Duke basketball as a national power (with Gminski, Banks, Spanarkle, etc.,
the ACC championship and
a national championship game loss in '78, and the pre-season top ranking
in '78-79).  (However, they never stopped having the "Beat Duke" parade
before the annual last football game of the season.)
    Don't confuse all this with the rivalry as viewed from the other
"Big Four" schools on Tobacco Road.  Everybody "hated" Carolina more than
anyone else and anyone at State, Wake, or Duke would have said that
Carolina was their number 1 rival.  Perhaps that has changed with Duke's
recent dominance in mid-March through early-April relative to the rest of
the "Big Four", but it would surprise me a bit.

Actually, I believe that when we reach the part of Genesis where Satan leads a
rebellion of angels against the Lord, I believe the Aramaic has a segment that

really doesn't look like the sky at all" while the Lord was clad in royal blue.

OK, all you Dean Dome slammers.  Just curiously, have you ever actually
*been* to a game there?  No?  You just read what Sam Cassell (?) said
last year?  I've been to lots of games in the Dean Dome, lots (and lots)
of games in Carmichael, and lots of games elsewhere.  

The Dean Dome has two things that make it unusual (amongst arenas):
  
  1. Sound Absorbtion.  Instead of being a hollow tin shell, they put
     in stuff during construction to eat noise so that concerts could 
     be performed there, and the like.
  
  2. Unusual Seating arrangement.  Where's the student section?  If you
     read this group, you'd think it was exclusively in the upper balcony.
     Not true.  Students sit on one end at the Dean Dome.

As far as noise is concerned, the courtside folks don't make much,
but if you go into (any) other section, you get lots of noise.

Is it noisy on the court itself?  I've heard interviews with players 
claiming both yes and no.  I wouldn't listen to a member of the opposition
just after an upset, though.

Just wanted to toss in my personal AMEN.  I'm a bit of a traditionalist,
so I still prefer S&S to Vitale, but Blue Ribbon blows them all away. There
is a bit of a problem finding it and it isn't cheap - but well worth the

Subject: Rodney's the man!
From: jdraper@opie.bgsu.edu
Date: Sat, 17 Oct 1992 02:48:00 GMT
Organization: Bowling Green State University

Rodney Rogers is the baddest man on the planet.  I realize most of the pre-
season college basketball guides are touting Jamal Mashburn (6-8, 240) as the
best power forward in the country right now, but I'm here to tell you that 
this season, Rodney will emerge as the premier player at this position.

At first glance, these two could be twins.  The same year in school (both are 
juniors), and nearly identical physically (Rodney is 6-7, 235), they also
posted very similar stats last year.  Jamal had 21.3 ppg, 7.8 rpg, and 0.6
blocks.  Rodney had 20.5 ppg, 8.5 rpg, and 0.9 blocks.  In all fairness, 
Kentucky's style of play, emphasizing the three point shot, did not exactly
showcase Jamal.  But neither did Wake Forest head coach Dave Odom.  

The real test however, comes this year.  Both are extremely likely to take
off for the NBA, and both will be looking to showcase their talents.  I believe 
in this regard, Rodney will come out on top.  Odom has said that he will utiliz
him more and allow him to create more of his own shots.  Mashburn, however,
will most likely still be a role player (albeit a major one) in Pitino's
intricate system.

This year will be a great one for college hoops.  Both these players will be
demonstrating their enormous talents, and, possibly, to outdo the other.
However,, I believe Rodney Rogers will emerge as the best (yes) because of 
his better inside game, increased versatility, and more agreeable coaching.

Hope he goes to Purdue.  Combined with his buddy Glenn Robinson, and the
