This is not the path forward

It's safe to say that UCLA has a pep issue. Their cheerleaders are usually both attractive and skilled. (I don't know how recent these pictures are, but you get the idea.)

However, jugglers and under-appreciated alumni yell leaders have not proven to do the trick for motivating the crowd into a football frenzy... and plainly someone has been thinking about how to tackle that challenge.

Friends, this is not the answer:

Now the Bruins are motivated... to find whoever signed off on this...
HT: Wizard of Odds

An aggrieved Bruin posted a response on the Wizard of Odds site that Sanjaya was wearing a Chargers jersey. That seems like an overly hopeful interpretation of some wrinkles at the right shoulder; this picture sure makes it look like he's wearing a Bruins jersey...

"I'm totally rocking the 8 claps guys!"

You can decide for yourself; all in all I think I'd just as soon take my chances with Snoop "Duty Free Throwdown" Dogg as uni-wearing celebrity embarrassment, to be honest. If this is the reward for the Lexus Gauntlet, then they are more than welcome to it.

Really?

You would honestly rather have a druggy law breaker (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snoop_dogg#Legal_problems) than some awkward kid with big hair?

I really have no problem with Sanjaya's posing (until he becomes a guest cameraman for Girls Gone Wild).

it's part of the joke...

I'd really rather avoid both of them but for very different reasons.

I dunno, Snoop dog is pretty cool

Legal issues aside, from what I understand he's fun to hang out with.

Fight on!!! Beat the Vandals!!!

blowback

I think my missus might object on the grounds of prevalence of hos and cameras. I don't need that kind of hassle.

Meh

Sometimes, the juice is worth the squeeze!

not really

Losing the kids in order to bust a nut seems like a high risk / low reward choice... I'm sentimental like that!

oh well

different priorities for different people...speaking of which, has anyone seen a school that received NCAA sanctions and had a championship revoked recently? Because I'm pretty sure you can find one if you look west.

Fight on!!! Beat the Vandals!!!

It's more likely

that Sanjaya would be starring in a girls gone wild video, than shooting one.
To answer your question... yes I think I would rather hang with Snoop than Sanjaya any day.
Really now... with the towel waver, the juggler, and the alum cheerleader guy..... can we really be suprised that they hook up with this guy.

Really bruins.... you can have him.... hes all yours.

Man That's Weird

I'm sorry, I just couldn't accept that. I'd take Snoop any day. At least he keeps it real. This is just sad.

I believe

he's an example of, "When Keepin' it Real Goes Wrong".

Don't know the level of UCLA's involvement in this

I'm not sure where he got the UCLA jersey. It has the Adidas logo on it, but I've never seen any Bruins' jersey with the numbers in white. I hope it's not a new design, b/c it looks hideous.

As for his backup dancers, those aren't UCLA cheerleaders. Tho honestly, I kinda wish they were. From what I can see, the blonde in the yellow and the brunette are pretty hot.

Music video challenge: Jessica Simpson in a Southern Cal jersey vs Sanjaya in a UCLA knockoff? Advantage: USC.

Surely they would have stopped this...

Just a little comment in jest; I cannot imagine that they would seriously have planned this.

by DC Trojan on May 23, 2007 5:47 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

You probably know by now

But that is a Chargers jersey

Yeah, I noted that in the post...

I'll be honest, I didn't do a Zapruder-level analysis on the pictures and video that are available online... so either someone was sent to get a Bruins jersey and got it wrong, or they just needed something in about the right colors to go with the enormous "UCLA" on the wall behind him.

So much for my little joke.
