re: Finebaum jogged through the Carolina campus ...

in Columbia's defense, USC was established in the oldest state capital in the SEC as an extension of the legislature, so the campus started adjacent to the State Capital. our original campus, "the horseshoe" with the first separate college library building was the inspiration for jefferson's "lawn" at UVA. it was almost 70 years prior to the advent of college football (Rutgers-Princeton 1869), so no one had the forethought to set aside land for a stadium and parking for tailgating. LSU didn't move to Baton Rouge until after they started playing football, so they had a better idea of the space needed to establish a state university. in hindsight, we should have put the school in Charleston with a stadium overlooking the Ashley River and we would have 10 year waiting list.
