It takes a “capable” coach to guide a team to a 22-point fourth quarter lead. It takes a better coach to know what to do with that lead. Rich Ellerson is a “capable” coach, but he still lacks the very necessary intangible of killer instinct.
Homecoming may have been “just one game,” but one game can swing a season.
With all of the countless injustices going on around the world today, it’s easy to brush it all aside and dismiss it as someone else’s business. But there is an atrocity happening in Darfur, Sudan, that must be stopped now. 400,000 men, women and children have been killed in Darfur.
I was extremely disappointed in Matt Bushman’s Glass Half Full column that ran Wednesday. He fails to point out that the Republican majority imposes rules that restrict debate on the congressional floor on bills the GOP attempts to pass.
He did not mention that the privatization of Social Security was unpopular on both sides of Capitol Hill.
With all due respect to Mr. Goulding’s football coaching abilities, I think his comment that Cal Poly should find another football coach is over the line and ridiculous. Rich Ellerson is one of the most respected and capable coaches in football. He has brought a first class program to Cal Poly.
It was all working out perfectly. My last Homecoming game and the Mustangs had a 22-point lead going into the fourth quarter. The crowd was having a good time, everything was almost perfect, until head coach Rich Ellerson decided to throw out his offensive playbook and ruin it all.
For all those who vote (everyone I hope) you should first know the facts. Prop 86 will raise the price of a pack of cigarettes by $2.60, and fiscal revenues will rise by more than $2 billion. Who gets it?
Foremost, prop 10 (nothing to do with smoking) gets back funded by about $180 per year.
I realize the campus bike issue is almost a dead horse. Monday evening, I hit a bicyclist with my minivan. He was going the wrong way on a one-way street, had his iPod blaring, and refused to give his last name or even wait for the University Police Department or an ambulance.
As a reader of the Mustang Daily and a Cal Poly athlete, I am appalled by the decisions of which sports have had featured stories this past week. Specifically, I can not understand why a sport in their off-season would have a feature story about their recruiting class, when men’s soccer just had a huge win against conference leader and defending conference champion Cal State Northridge.
I just wanted to thank you guys for putting together a great issue. I love Cal Poly and was so interested to read all of these different clippings. I picked up multiple copes to send off to my alumni family! Seeing the Baker milk ad was the highlight of my day.
I think there is something wrong with the elevators in the library. I’m a civil engineer and am lucky enough not to have to take vibrations classes that mechanicals do, but I’m pretty sure elevators are not supposed to shake violently.
It’s even scarier to look at the inspection sheets inside the elevator which expired in August.
I like Mr. McThrow’s thinking regarding solving the bike problem. But why stop at bridges? Let’s make our campus rival Disneyland. I propose installing gondolas, underground passageways, moving sidewalks, trolleys, escalators, cable cars, monorails and some tunnels.
