An Iowa band member has died Tuesday after suffering a heart attack in the extreme heat at Kinnick Stadium on Saturday, according to a news release from the university’s band and music departments.
Do people think it’s a great idea to play these games in this type of weather?
USC was pushing to play Notre Dame in Week 0 and wanted to always open the season with the Irish when the game is at the Coliseum. The Lincoln Riley fanboys kept beating the drum for this to happen.
So what happens if NBC or whoever doesn’t want the game in prime time and decides it wants the game at 12 p.m.?
College football is going to have more Week 0 games going forward. It’s just a horrible idea and ignores the fans or the dangers they face in unbearable heat. Just once, I would like to see USC make a decision based on fan welfare.
- Defensive tackle Alex VanSumeren had his first two tackles of the season last week vs. Fresno State.
- Lincoln Riley said Jahkeem Stewart is participating in practice and close to playing Saturday vs. Louisiana.
- Freshman tight end Mark Bowman was allowed to speak to the media for the first time Tuesday.
“I take pride in my blocking, but honestly, we’re only a couple games in,” Bowman said.

DON: The Iowa student who died had a congenital heart problem
KAM Len Bias and Hank Gathers also died, largely due to having the same problem. Fortunately it doesn’t happen very often

Maybe when a player or 7 drop dead on the playing field on live tv, maybe. Naw.

Couldn’t agree more. No need to promote that type of mental illness.

True frosh RB Deshonne Redeaux hasn’t received much discussion, but he looks like he could be a great one, including turning the corner for a TD on two Fresno defenders who seemed to have good angles of pursuit.
He has 10.4 100 meter speed and to my eye, has the quickest initial burst of any of the USC RBs.
Along with Tanook Hines (10.1 100 meters), Waymo, Mosley and Boobie (both around 4.4 40 times), Bowman, 245 lbs and 4.6 40, this might be fastest USC team in some time.

I remember when SC’s defense was fast, but that was 20+ years ago

My sincere condolences go out to that band member’s loved ones.
It’s a dangerous job being in the band. But someone’s gotta do it!
