CSUN NOTEBOOK : BETTER LATE THAN NEVER AS FOOTBALL OFFICES WHEELED IN.Visitors to the Cal State Northridge football complex last week stared with dropped jaws at the double-wide trailer outside the locker room. Could it be? Yes, the football coaches will finally have offices at North Campus, instead of having to drive across the campus from their offices in the Kinesiology kinesiology Study of the mechanics and anatomy of human movement and their roles in promoting health and reducing disease. Kinesiology has direct applications to fitness and health, including developing exercise programs for people with and without disabilities, preserving building to the football facility. The trailers were expected by the beginning of the season, but the usual financial and bureaucratic bu·reau·crat n. 1. An official of a bureaucracy. 2. An official who is rigidly devoted to the details of administrative procedure. bu restraints delayed the delivery to the point where the trailers had all but been forgotten. ``Now we have one location,'' said Northridge coach Dave Baldwin Dave Baldwin was the head football coach of San Jose State University from 1997-2000. During his tenure, he had three straight wins over Stanford (including their rosebowl season of 1999). In 1997, SJSU upset No. , ticking ticking a coat color pigmentation pattern in which hairs of one color are distributed in small groups throughout the background color, e.g. Australian cattle dog. Called also speckling. off the reasons he has been eagerly anticipating a trailer that was promised him over the summer. ``Each coach will have an office. We'll look professional. We'll have a film room.'' Also, men's basketball will have a real office, instead of Bobby Braswell Bobby Braswell, an American basketball coach, is currently the head coach for Cal State Northridge. Braswell was named the fourth head coach in Northridge history on April 30, 1996, succeeding the retired Pete Cassidy. and his four assistants in one 12-by-12 room. ``It'll be a great day,'' Braswell said of when he and his staff move across the hall to the offices now occupied by football. Women's basketball Women's basketball is one of the few games which developed in tandem with men's. It became popular, spreading from the east coast of the United States to the west coast, in large part via women's colleges. coach Michael Abraham will get his own space, too, leaving the cramped office he shares with his assistants to inhabit what is now the football coach's film room. The softball softball, variant of baseball played with a larger ball on a smaller field. Invented (1888) in Chicago as an indoor game, it was at various times called indoor baseball, mush ball, playground ball, kitten ball, and, because it was also played by women, ladies' coaches will take over the men's basketball office. And golf coaches Jim Bracken bracken or brake, common name for a tall fern (Pteridium aquilinum) with large triangular fronds, widespread throughout the world, often as a weed. and Carrie Leary will share what was the softball office. Bracken is currently without an office and Leary has been sharing space with events manager Howard Garcia. When everyone moves depends on when football moves into the trailers, which are awaiting electricity. Heroes: Northridge president Blenda Wilson deserves a statue. Athletic director Athletic director (commonly, "athletics director") is a position at many American colleges and universities, as well as in larger high schools and middle schools, which oversees the work of the coaches and related staff involved in intercollegiate or interscholastic athletic Paul Bubb is a genius, pure and simple. That is the view in Sacramento at least. A story on the front page of the Sacramento Bee's sports section Noun 1. sports section - the section of a newspaper that reports on sports sports page - any page in the sports section of a newspaper newspaper, paper - a daily or weekly publication on folded sheets; contains news and articles and advertisements; "he read advancing the Matadors' game at Sacramento State last Saturday hailed Northridge administrators' aggressive approach to moving the school into the Big Sky Conference. The article noted that Northridge found money for 20 (actually 23) additional football scholarships, bringing its total to 40. Sacramento, meanwhile, went from 10 to 25. And a column by R.E. Graswich in Sunday's Bee after the Matadors squashed Sacramento 52-17, said that while both schools are ``rookies in the Big Sky. . . Northridge is behaving like a junior.'' Graswich went on to write: ``Northridge wasted no time moving into the big time'' and the difference between Northridge and Sacramento State is ``the difference between taking action and talking about it.'' Said Bubb, laughing, ``I'm glad someone feels that way.'' Scholarship update: Next year might be a different story for the two programs. A source in the Sacramento State athletic department said last week the Hornets will increase to 43 scholarships for next year. Bubb said Northridge will be able to furnish money for just five additional scholarships. ``I don't want this thing to stagnate stag·nate intr.v. stag·nat·ed, stag·nat·ing, stag·nates To be or become stagnant. [Latin st ,'' Bubb said. ``We've got to keep going forward. But to stay broad-based as a department, (45) is as much as we can commit to right now.'' Baldwin feels he needs money for 10 extra scholarships to make the type of improvement next year that his team showed this year. To get that, private money is going to have to be raised. With money for five extra scholarships and with attrition Attrition The reduction in staff and employees in a company through normal means, such as retirement and resignation. This is natural in any business and industry. Notes: through seniors leaving, Baldwin will have the equivalent of about 13 scholarships to give. A full scholarship is valued at $8,370. What to expect: Northridge plays defending national champion Montana at 5:05 p.m. Saturday at North Campus Stadium. More than 500 Montana fans are expected to attend the game. But there will be plenty of tickets at the gate, though Northridge assistant ticket manager Abel Monreal said there have been tickets for the past two Northridge home games purchased at Ticketmaster outlets. ``That's something that doesn't happen very often at Cal State Northridge,'' he said. This from Bubb before the season: ``The Montana game should be a sellout.'' This from Bubb Tuesday: ``I think we'll be around 5,000, the same type of crowd we had two weeks ago for Montana State (5,631). . . . Had we beat Montana State, we might have got 8,000-10,000.'' Who will play: Defensive end Mike Greslie, who missed the past four games with a fractured left shoulder, will play against Montana. |
