I am a covert Bruin enrolled as a student at ’SC. Speaking for myself, having the Bruins across the street is AWESOME! Just like my old days as an undergrad.

but not in a cool way like when you visit london or the pyramids.

The Sports Arena sucks! Painting a dumpster a different color only makes it a freshly-coated dumpster.

Hopefully they can pull together as a team even more, knowing that they have to depend on each other for success since they won’t have a true home court.

And, at least from the limited angle of the video, Joshua Smith does look to be somewhat lighter and in better shape.

Josh Smith is definitely a Bruin. I love it.

I am extremely glad I watched the entire video, because Josh isn’t being a “spoiled brat” at all here—he’s actually mature and pretty philosophical. I’m not even sure I would characterize his comments about the proximity of the arena to USC as “complaints.”

Also, he certainly does look leaner than he has in the past, and he is very serious.

I wondered about this when my (Jayhawk-loving) husband kidded me about Josh Smith being “so unhappy” about where he had to play this year…God only knows where he’s getting that slant, but it is obviously a complete exaggeration, if not a total mischaracterization.
