Stanfords VanDerveer said "that for a month the gym was set up for volleyball, meaning extra hoops weren't available for shooting practice."
Somone should have whispered in their ear that you don't need multi million dollar gyms to practice shooting
Laughable if wasn't a serious answer...

| So are the 800 USC injuries just a weird coincidence or does the team need a new conditioning coach or trainer? Injuries seem to plague that team and seasons have been ruined more than once in the recent past by injuries. (Of course, I'm excluding the unwed mother player... I still think that's just an embarassment to her, her team, and her family.)

dude, there were 2 baskets set up, there only so many drills and scrimmages you can run in 2 1/2 hrs of court time.

I was alluding to the unthinkable of using another gym to do the training at if the main one only had two baskets available...sheesh how hard would that have been..

| hooper let me just say that it is an embarassment for you to come online a rip a girl for a transgression that I know without a doubt she too admits is foolish. brynn is a very nice girl, and is a sweatheart, and cole is probably the most beautiful baby i have seen. you may think it is an embarassment but it is privledge and honor to be a mother, and although the timing was not the best, brynn has done a great job raising her child and getting her priorities straight, but it is not fair for you to say something like this without the full story and the hollwood and sports buzz that was created for such an incident...as far as the injuries, they are tough right now bc they dont have a pure playmaker, BUT, if they can squeak out a bid they are going to be dangerous come March. as far as the trainer, Sandy Olson has done a great job with the team and it is her main priority right now but you can't help injuries that have lasted and lingered for they year. Chloe Kerr is the most underrated center in the nation btw!!! Fight On

Yea, I might be a little hard on Brynn, but come on, a little protection goes a long way. "Foolish" is an understatement. Foolish is "cheated on a test" or "stayed out too late the night before a game" or "signed up for a credit card and didn't pay off the balance every month." She brought another human being into the world because of her negligence and lack of concern for anything (at that moment) other than getting fu**ed. Harsh, I know, but that's the reality. I expected more from her. She's intelligent and smart (and a hell of a player at that.)
As for the "injuries," I count 5 players out... Hughes, Dunham, LeNoir, Gemelos, and Cameron. Good thing they have 17 players on their roster!
They're doing well considering. But it would be so nice to see what Trakh can do with a full squad at some point.

| Agreed, it would be interesting to see Gemelos develop alongside of Eshaya Murphy. And I'm sorry, but Hagiya is so overmatched at the point. I miss Camille Lenoir because of her speed and ability.

It amazes me that people don't realize that:
A. Birth control occassionally fails.
B. Two people create a child, not one.

Absolutely Matty!
And as long as that baby is loved and cared for, the circumstances of conception are irrelevant!

| Personally, I think she's a pretty lucky gal. Seems like he's a good guy and that he's genuinely interested in having a family. I wish them well.

Well, if you consider getting knocked up by someone she's not married to and probably will not be married to (at least last I heard), then she's a had a grand spurt of luck (so to speak.) Women in their 20s are always clamoring to be unwed mothers, especially when they have a full-ride scholarship to an elite university... and they don't have a job to support the child.
(I'm so amused when people try to defend unplanned, accidental pregnancies.)

What you say is true about Hagiya, unfortunately.
So how good is Gemelos?
And have you been to the Galen Center? It's so nice that USC finally has a decent gym to play in. UCLA has had a fantastic facility for years.

And I am appalled when people try to villainize a woman who has one. Perhaps we should still send those women away, while the men involved are lavished with praise.
Have you seen "The Magdalene Sisters"? Maybe it is time to bring back that type of "home."

"Daddy" is just as guilty as mommy. But, unfortunately, daddy will not be caring for the child. As is so often the case, mom is left to pick up the pieces and her life is completely altered. Dad can just pay money (if that's all he wants) and he's off doing whatever he wants. Sad, but true.
Ultimately, it is the woman's responsibility. It's her body (whether we like it or not.)
I'm not saying Brynn is a villian... she was just stupid, selfish, and thinking only of her immediatly bodily pleasure. Immature, if you want to put it that way, as are many of those accidental mothers. Perhaps not the best candidates to be raising children.

As amused as I am when individuals try to force their beliefs down everyone else's throats...and don't realize how ignorant they sound.

*blinks*...*blinks again*
No. Words.
So, question for you...is it immature, selfish, and stupid of EVERY SINGLE PERSON who has sex...whether or not an accidental pregnancy is the result? Jeebus..what is this, 1950? Every time someone has intercourse (men-women), a pregnancy can result unless dictated differently (biological/physical issues). Some married couples have 'accidental' pregnancies...are you going to say that they were stupid, selfish, and immature to be having sex while being married and that because an 'accidental' pregnancy resulted, they are therefore immature and not the best candidates for parenthood?
You, nor I, know the full situation...but from all accounts, Brynn is a caring individual (as is Matt, I suppose) who will raise their child properly. To make a blanket statement such as you did (Perhaps not the best candidates to be raising children) ticks me off.

How good is Gemelos? She's pretty much outplayed most of her counterparts in high school and was probably the no. 2 recruit behind Tina Charles.
Nope, haven't been to the Galen Center. Only been to pro games but thinking about going to a college game this season.

Quite frankly, your comments are really just wrong. I mean what is the point of your ranting and raving. She may have had an accident or it may have been planned. You don't know. You are not judge and jury. Their lives are their lives and nothing over which you should really care about.

Please continue to try to defend unprotected sex if you like. You're not going to win that argument. She's lucky she didn't contract something more harmful than a child.
