OKAY COACH, SOMEBODY NEEDS AN EARLY BIRTHDAY PRESENT






Okay, Coach Dorrell - sorry I can't call you Karl anymore (that name's been tainted for[Rove]ever) - I'm sure I don't have to tell you that Saturday is the next biggest game in your head coaching career. Beat these 'olden Bears, and, well, you're in the two position gunning for number 1. Beat a top ten team, and your bunch will deserve that kind of status, too. Show up these guys with their big bad running backs and they're just okay passer and their li'l genius coach, and you'll deserve mention in the same sentence with the Conference's best and brightest.

But you'll also give the best early 95th birthday present that a Bruin could ever ask for. October 14, 2005, the Wizard takes another step toward the century mark. Happy Birthday (early) Coach Wooden. How 'bout you say a few encouraging words to the guys in the pads this Saturday, if Coach D doesn't mind? All help would be appreciated. You always did know what to say. The team could use whatever leftover magic's in that old rolled up program of yours.
