Editor’s note: This story is afirst—person
account ofez'ents surrounding the death
and fimeml of Princess Diana as told by a
UK student studying abroad.

By M. Renae Culver 0
Contributing ”’t'iter

LONDON —— If there’s any story
that I hadn’t planned on writing during
my stay in London, .the Death of
Princess Diana ranks right up
there with a dream article'I

fence. I was momentarily
wrote titled “My Dinner With COMMENTARY cheered. when l saw ABC
- the Queen."

Yet I am fecal with living and work-
in under the indescribably oppressive
pa l of misery that has swept through
the capital this past week.

I awoke last Sunday morning, the
same way most people in this country
did, only to hear ne that would
shock a nation. Even at 7 a.m., every
radio and television station had pre-
empted noflndl programming for
'round the clock coverage. News
anchors were giving heartbreaking
eulo 'es .ou know they’d been rehears-
ing or the Queen Mum‘s death. Like
the obligato “It came outta nowhere!”
statement tiger a Kentucky tornado,

“shocked" is how everyone described
the tragic death of the Princess of
\Vales.

By Monday evening. my roommate
and I had resigned ourselves to joining
the crowds at Kensington Palace, two
blocks from our aparttnent. We joined
the masses shuffling slowly
toward the front gates. thousands
of us lodged between the news
vans parked next to the curb and

the black, iron rails of the

“World News Tonight" anchor
Peter Jennin 5 get into a black
cab, just inCTlCS from where
stood.

Police guided pedestrians toward the
main gates of the park and we filed in
and fanned out over the lawn toward
the palace. It looked like something out
of a B-rate horror movie. The sky was
an eerie red and thousands of eople
silently moved toward the dark ouse,
candles in hand.

In front of the Palace gates bou-
quets of flowers were stacked knee—
high, and there was still a long line of
people waiting to place more.

. Attached to the countless flowers were

 

I Dlana

r‘

notes and tributes. most ofthein hope-
lessly banal, but no doubt heartfelt.

Naturally I had expected a lot of
people, but what surprised me was the
diversity. Men in three piece suits with
briefcases. mothers and children. and
guys in leather all stared solemnly
toward the house. People I
would cross the street to
avoid meeting on a dark
night seemed considerably
less intimidating weeping
over pink roses.

It is really difficult trying to
write about the public grief
felt at the Princess‘ death
because it's not a public grief
at all. It’s a private grief. mul»
tiplied millions of times over. People
I‘ve observed and s oken to in this city
over the last five days feel personally
bereaved, as if a close relation has died.

Even now, almost a week after the
accident, London is still blanketed in
grief.

Radio stations continue to lay mor-
bid music on the off chance t at ifyou
aren't already suicidal, they might be
able to push you over the edge.

All of this hoopla be .‘ the question,
why do I care? Lmean,Tm a Kentucky

girl; most ofthe headlines I read tend to
have “LIK Basketball,u ”tobacco" or
“Kl“.RA" in them.

But in many ways Princess Diana‘s
death has affected me because of
where I am. No matter how loved she
was around the world. the truth is
London was her home. During the
time I've spent in this country over the
last three years, l've seen the love«hate
relationship the British have with the
monarchy. Most self-respecting l.on-
doners would roll their eyes in exas—
peration when asked to comment on
the Royal Family. but sneak a copv of
“The Sun" or “The Mirror" into their
briefcase on the way home from work.

I doubt I would have given it much
of a thou rht if I were back at UK.
However t ese days a lot ofthose same
folks are feeling guilty for invading her
privacy by sup orting those papers.

I imagine t e atmosphere here will
remain much the same. The procession
route was doubled due to public
demand, and the service was broadcast
on movie screens in Hyde Park.

Naturally. I was out of bed bright
and early along with the other untold
millions of Brits. After all. I am living
in London.

The UK \Vildcats captured the
Kentucky Invitational title with

Bradley and C lLIIeland State this
weekend and in turn raised their
reLord to 31.

The team remained undefeated
at home this season. defeating BU

“()ne ofour goals is not to lose

said. “\Ve’re doing good so far."

olust minutes later. an ailing Bell
headed the ball in to Villamil. who
put it past the goalie. giving L‘K a
{-0 lead and the game.

“l got some opportunities

“The third goal was one of the
best goals we‘ve ever had here,"
L'K Coach lan Collins said. “I can't
ask for better than that. All 1 can

 

    
   

As exciting as those few minutes
were, the second half lost all thrills.
UK’s only significant scoring
opportunity in the half was on a
Sean Mondelli cross shot that
glanced off the right pole and went
out of bounds.

The team came back out less
than 24 hours later to face CSU
with the UKlT title on the line.
UK wouldn‘t disappoint the more
than 500 fans in attendance.

CSU, fresh off a 4-0 victory
over North Carolina-Asheville the
day before had a distinct size
advantage over the quicker W ild-
cats. L K used that to their advan-

tage. running circles around the
slower Vikings.

The Cats scored their only goal
of the game on a deflection off
Bell. Lee Baker fed the ball into
Bryan DePriest, who took II direct
shot at the goal. The ball was
deflected off a CSL'I defender, into

right place at the right time." Bell
said.

L'K’s defense took this weekend
as II coming-out party, allowing no
goals. and even tnore importantly
to Collins, not many chances to put
points on the board.

“\Ve shut out two quality teams
in a weekend," Collins said. “And
also, the number of good scoring
opportunities we gave away were

Collins attributes thIt to the

"i think sometimes when you

to ensure they stay on their backsides
for good.

Saturday in front of 30,121 at Scott
Field on the campus of Mississippi
State University. the UK football team
played the role of the abuser while the
Bulldogs were thumped as the abused.

But it proved to be only Act I of a
two—act play.

The UK backyard squall only lasted
for 30 minutes as MSU turned it into a
second-half brawl, handing the \Vild—
eats a 35—27 defeat, their first loss of
the 1997 season.

“It was a very physical game out
there," UK head coach Ilal Mumme
said following the \Vildcats’ South-
eastern Conference opener.

“You have got to give Coach Dunn
(MSU defensive coordinator) and their
defense credit. In the third quarter
when they had to make plays on us
they did."

Shooting out of the gates early,
behind (Iouch’s 21 I passing yards and
three touchdown strikes, the \Vildcats
built a 21-10 half—time lead.

Couch finished the contest with 39
completions on 61 attempts for 349
yards with four touchdowns and one
interception.

His number for attempts broke the
UK record he set last week against
Louisville and tied the SEC mark with
completion‘s.

However, the host Bulldogs used an
attacking zone defense in the second
half, forcing Couch to stand in the
pocket trying to find an open receiver
in the midst of the MSU blitzes.

“The players got some rush on
them and the game was completely dif-
ferent from the first half to the second
half," MSU head coach Jackie Sherrill
said.

The UK defense didn’t get the
same luxury, as they tried relentlessly
to pressure MSL‘ in the backfield. UK
linebackerJeff Snedegar said the Bull—
dogs were physical and big — bigger
than the Louisville team the Cats faced
in the first game.

“I thought they were bigger and
better than Louisville,” Snedegar said.
“Their line was bigger and a little bit
faster up front."

Still Mumme praised his defense’s
effort, holding the two MSU tailbacks,
the two leading rushers in the SEC, to
a combined 135 yards.

  

“I told the defense I felt like we
played good enough for us to win,"
Mumme said.

At the 7:01 mark in the third stanza,
UK trailed for the first time all season.

Running around the right side of
the MSU offensive line as they did
most of the afternoon, behind All-
American offensive tackle candidate
Robert llicks (6—foot-8. 351 pounds),
Bulldog tailback James Johnson took
the ball from three yards out for the
score. The two—point conversion
failed, but still the Bulldogs led 25-23.

But not for long.

UK's final scoring of the game came
in the third quarter when wide receiver
Kio Sanford hauled in a lQ-yard bullet
from Couch in the middle of the end
zone for a 27-22 Wildcat advantage.
UK went for two, but Couch's pass
was intercepted in the corner of the
end zone.

But to get the touchdown, UK had
to pull a “rabbit out of the hat" — a
fake punt on fourth and 20 from their
own 46-yard line.

Wildcat backup quarterback Dusty
Bonner took the snap and hit Jimmy
Haley for a 29-yard gain down to the
MSU 25 yard line to set up UK’s last
score.

MSU kicker Brian I'lazelwood sent
the Wildcats their final bill with two
fourth quarter field goal.

A 48-yard boot on the first play of
the fourth quarter cut UK's slim mar-
gin to two and gave MSU a 28—37 lead.
\Vith his 32‘yard boot at 7:19, the
Bulldogs took the final advantage.

Johnson’s l-yard scamper around
the left end tacked on six more points
giving MSU a 35-27 lead and an eight-
point deficit UK tried to erase in the
waning moments of the game.

UK’s final straw came with 1:10
remaining and 80 yards away from
potential overtime.

(Iouch orchestrated a UK drive
down to the MSU 49-yard line with
five ticks on the clock left before the
final heave to the end zone.

“I thought Kio and Tim made great
efforts to get that first down for us to
give us one last shot at the end zone.”
Mumme said.

Mumme also said the Wildcats have
to capitalize on every opportunity and
play fundamental football each week in
order to avoid the stale play in the final
two quarters of the game.

“VVe’re the type of team that we’ve
got to maximize stuff,” he said.

“We really have to do good things
all the time and that includes the

coaching staf ."

S'I‘ARKVILLI‘} Miss. r In the
wake of UK‘s 35-27 loss Saturday
to MSU comes a multitude of
missed chances and costly mis—
takes.

Taking the blame was L'K head
coach llal Mumme for the \Vild-
cats weak play in the second half
against the Bulldogs, especially on
the offensive side of the football.

“I did a )oor job," Mumme said
of his first 055 in the \Nildcat blue
and white. “I didn’t call some plays

we probably should have called."

Instead of mixing up the play
selection and attacking the Bulldog
defense by throwing downfield in
the third quarter, the \\'ildcats
tried to jump start an ineffective
running game along with screen
passes out in the Ilat.

Short dump passes are used like
draw plays in this offense and were
effective in opening up the field
against Louisville, However. MSU
defensive coordinator Joe Lee
Dunn‘s defense's pursuit to the
football was much quicker on the
shorter pass routes which prevent—

ed L'K wideouts from making the
big plays. Dunn is now 5—0 against
Mumme's teams.

“I got kind of conservative on
our end of the field." .\Iumme said.
“And where I think l messed up is
that l didn't attack them like I did
in the first half. I got a little bit
conservative and we tried to go
with some screens and they were
ready for that.

“It was a good call on his
(Dunn) part. We didn‘t attack
down field."
