Feeling a draft

Was the NFL draft a reflection of the UCLA program? No Bruins (except kicker Justin Medlock). All-Pac-10 defensive end Justin Hickman has to walk on with the Redskins, while players from Coastal Carolina, Troy, Elon, Central Connecticut State and Alabama A&M; are drafted. Be glad the Bruins didn’t play Elon in a bowl!

Spring practice news is a repeat of last year’s: quarterback controversy, injured running backs, offense can’t score on defense. Do something, Coach Dorrell, there’s nothing to lose.

Brady Quinn going 22nd in the draft assuredly shocked football fans associated with the Navy, Air Force, and Army programs. However, Sunday will now be like facing USC, Michigan or LSU on a weekly basis.
