struggling at 3-4 at one point, put
on a late-season burst that saw
them roll to five straight wins and
a tie for first in the WAC with a 6-
2 slate, finishing 8-4 on the season.
By the way, no newcomer had
ever done that
It'll cost you 28 bucks to go see
them in Anaheim, so I have an idea
for all the hard-up fans who have
to dig deep in their pockets. Go
into the locker room, put on a
Bulldog jersey when no one's
looking, then sneak on the team
bus.
If coach Sweeney sees you in
the locker room, what il he decides
to put you at kick returner on the
opening kkkoff? You betox hope
. the Bulldogs lore the toss. But we
won it So now you have to go out
there...and it's coming right at you.
Not in the end zone, so you can
have the easy way out and down
it ..you have to run it back. *
And all those red and gold USC
Trojan men are rushing up to pound
you to a pulp.     %
What are you gonna do?
Hell, I paid 35 bucks earlier this
season to go to a Raiders game and
they suck this year,. so coughing
up $28 to see an up-and-coming
college team
- that actually can win a big game
(in direct contrast) isn't so bad.
That is, unless you want to take a
very hard hit ,.*'
Bulldog Basketball
The FSU cagers rolled up a 23
point drubbing on Cal State
Northridge at halftime—and
nearly ended up giving. the
Matadors an early Christmas
present But CSUN was too shy to
accept and the Bulldogs hung on
to win this one, 77-67.
Brian Santiago, DeAndre
Austin, and Seth Marshall each
made dutch free throws down the
stretch and Davon (Instant Offense
from the Bench) Satterwhite
capped the roller coaster Bulldog
victory with a dunk. But that didn't
excuse their sloppy second-half
regression.
So perturbed was Colson over
the near-nightmare that he nearly
held a postgame practice at
Selland—"to prove a point" be
said.
That's twice in three games a
weaker Bulldog opponent has been
able to stay close until late in the
game. I'm going to sWal one from
the football team and make "Four
Quarter Basketball" our new
Bulldog slogan.
