For Openers. . .
Congratulations are in order.
If all the lofty expectations that go along with the project are reached at some point, Garrett could one day be known as much for his administrative role in the birth of a successful USC men's basketball program as he is for his considerable accomplishments as a Trojan football player. It's amazing to think how long it took to get to the Oct. 21 press conference at Heritage Hall, announcing the commitment to building the new special events center. Never before had something so obviously needed taken so long to develop. It was just one small statement by the University brass, but one huge leap for the athletic department. Hopefully, the men's and women's basketball and volleyball teams will never be the same.
