First year Bruin RB/WR Damien Thigpen talks about his 1st year away at college, spring camp, and going to school across the country from Virginia. Don't miss home too much Damien. It was freaking 90 degrees out there today while absolutely beautiful and gorgeous out in West LA.
GO BRUINS.

I've always been a fan
From the moment we got him, I thought Damien could be a huge wildcard on this team because is soooo fast! I know it’s just practice and drills, but if you watch those plays on the video, if he gets a good jump and some open space he is off to the races.
Although I’m not an expert on formations and play calling, I think Damien would be a good choice to be the back out of the Pistol formation because it plays off dumping the ball off quicker and Damien has the speed to get the initial separation to make a play. Hopefully he worked during the offseason to get stronger, because I am excited to see him play and get better as he understands the playbook!
Just pointing out
the practice jersey he’s wearing is made by addidas, unlike one we saw Brehaut wearing in the thread about UCLA sticking with them. Still pretty generic looking though, unlike the ones we saw from Tenn. and Mich.
I think they ordered a special black “no-contact” jersey for the QBs made by a different manufacturer which is why the black jerseys are not Adidas, could be a different cut jersey as the QBs tend to like more mobility around the sleeves than other players.
But I don’t really care about the 3-stripe practice jerseys they have at Michigan – I’m sure if we asked they’d do the same for us but simple design is probably what Neuheisel asked for when he came in and that works for me…under Dorrell we used to wear practice jerseys that looked like the gameday ones minus the nameplates which were Adidas. Seemed like a waste of money since you are going to go through quite a few practice jerseys over the course of a season. Also really hated the fact that our QB jerseys were red – our guys should never wear that color.
