Eric the Red Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Just wondering if anyone went to Westside to watch USC practice today. If so, how close were you able to get and did you get pictures? I tried to get there today, but there's literally no parking unless you wanted to break the law. Many people were, but I wasn't about to chance it. Quote Link to comment
motorboatjonesNU Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 They were on WHS's practice field which is connected to theri baseball diamond - also a Field Turf surface. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pix. Was about 250-300 yards away in a neighbor's back yard. I caught about the last 20 minutes. The were doing a light work out - no pads or helmets. Looked like #1 units going vs. #2's. Couldn't miss Malealuga's mane. Booty, or who I thought to be Booty, was accurate. The other guy - not so much. Looked like they were working on getting signals in properly; counting on lots of noise. An assistant was holding up a clipboard with the play code as the offense came to the line of scrimmage. Ran base plays - passes off play action across the middle and to the sideline. Out routes to the perimeter, and runs between the tackles. Lots of speed on both sides of the ball.

TX-Husker-2011 Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I still can't get over that name..."Booty". What a burden. I'd change it if I were him. Quote Link to comment

motorboatjonesNU Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 If any part of them looked vulnerable to me, it was their O-line. Quote Link to comment
OmahaPlaya Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I had to work but I thought it interesting they decided to practice up here instead of somewhere in Lincoln. Quote Link to comment
tattooedhusker Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Please attack that O-Line....PLEASE BLITZ@@ i think that o-line is kinda suspect...just a feeling Quote Link to comment

captain obvious Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 They tried pretty hard to make us sound like simpletons on that page you linked to: The team arrived at Omaha’s Westside High School like foreign dignitaries coming to town, as a police cars escorted them to the field, hoards of curious onlookers tried to get a glimpse of the Trojans and a slew of reporters bombarded Coach Carroll as if he were the president of a nation. USC pulled up to the high school around 12:30 and began warming up on the school’s main football field, but it was too out in the open and too many people could look on. Friday walk-thrus are the most guarded on-the-field sessions for USC football, so spectators are forbidden. So the team had to adjust to the circumstances. Within minutes, the Trojans moved to an adjacent baseball field at the high school that was more protected from random onlookers. The field still had FieldTurf and was painted with football boundaries, so not much changed in terms of the preparation. Even with the change of locale, though, unwanted observers still watched from the nearby hills, the adjacent classrooms and around the field as if the Trojans were some famous celebrities. And maybe they are around here. The walk-thru was just another of those one-of-a-kind experiences for USC that adds to the Nebraska lore. It would be so nice to send them home a .500 ball club...
