Other than the usual weather, this is one of my favorite trips. Easy load in and out of the locker room, you can park right outside the locker room, Steve McCoy, Arnold Alcantar and Tom Williams are some of the BEST help and great guys in the business (OSU Equipment Staff), locker room is spacious, especially the coaches area (which I LOVE). It is a long haul to the field and the managers hate pushing trunks up the steep ramp after the game, but other than that, it is a great trip. There are a lot of pipes going through the locker room area and you may notice all kinds of signs of leaks in the pictures below. It is a little dark and dirty in the locker room.
The injuries are starting to pile up and it has Tim, Benny and me getting stressed out. We realize injuries are going to happen, but we take it personally and we have a lot of pride in protecting our players. Seems like in all my years of doing this, injuries always come in bunches and almost become epidemic. Just like some years you go weeks and weeks and have no injuries. We just have to keep working hard and see if there is anything additional we can do. It is very frustrating!!!!
Thank goodness our coaches have done a GREAT job of recruiting and build a lot of depth on the TEAM! So many players stepped up yesterday and did a great job of winning this game. It made the drive back to Eugene and having to go through their airport so much more tolerable.
I know our TEAM needs a bye week, but I am sure going to miss being on the sideline next Saturday!
This banner summed up everything about the game. The Wildcats played a great game as a TEAM:

Ben Hulka and Mike Harlow push big 'ol Trunk #6 down to the field:
Ben Hulka worked extremely hard to clean up the white marker boards that OSU provides. It was hard because previous teams used permanent markers in some places!
How the lockers looked after the managers set up the locker room:
Not only did the managers do a great job in the locker room before the TEAM left the hotel in Salem, they had fun doing it!
A look at the very spacious coaches' locker room at Gill Coliseum. It was nice not having to set out all kinds of foul weather outerwear!
