USC is Boardwalk and ucla is still Baltic Avenue.

I always consider the current undergraduates the most diehard of all college sports even more so than alumni (even though they have mucho dinero). If slick rick and ucla want any chance to take back the football scene in LA he’s got to win over the students first. even though they’ve probably got a good 25,000 undergrads there the student section at the game was more than half empty at kickoff from what I saw.

Defense played a solid game-as usual. Except for that flub trick play on ucla’s first drive –sly trickery being the only way they could score. Giving up only 157 yards this game is an impressive feat. I have to give credit where credit is due, I thought pass blocking protection from the bruins was very good, I thought pressure from our front four would be too much for them to handle. But alas they gave up no sacks, reached the quarterback only a few times while craft looked comfortable doin work.

The offense struggled a bit and I hoped that they could have scored more points but 28 is more than enough to hand the bruins another loss. From my perspective I thought that the offense just wasn’t as tight as it could have. Obviously I point to the first possession fumble, off target throws and drops were things that should have been addressed. But really the offense did everything they needed to do tonight to secure the win.

Finally I’d like to congratulate Kevin Craft for ending your first, and most likely final year as a ucla starter with 15 straight picks.

Maybe they can get the new monopoly game.

Open Letter to Cheatie Petey First, I think that many Bruins are justified in thinking your home jersey move did not have the rivalry in mind. I think you are like most trOJays when you think that our rivalry isn’t important. It has become clear to me now why you did it and it infuriates me: You did it to express some sort of "this is our house sentiment." Your players before the game gathered on the UCLA logo and did some sort of circle-jerk about how OUR house is yours. Sorry Petey, you play in South Central with your SCandal prone Seasoned Criminals. Your arrogance is unfathomable.

I got news for you Petey, this ain’t your f**king house. You and your team’s arrogance in suggesting that you "own" Los Angeles is pathetic as well given that your university doesn’t even have "Los Angeles" in its name. We represent Los Angeles because WE ARE THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, LOS ANGELES. We are academically and athletically superior to your university in every way except for football (this year). How dare you claim anything to the contrary.

Another thing Petey, you have become the whiniest piece of shit in all of college sports. First, you lose to OSU. Then you struggle with other weak Pac-10 schools. Then you think that you should be in the title game. You whine because you haven’t got a shot in hell of making the title game now that OU beat the number 20 team in the country by 41 points. Your arguments are EPIC FAIL Petey. The only way you can get a "NC" is by getting the AP to anoint you again. Not going to happen. So console yourself in winning the Pac-10, I hope it makes you feel like the consolation prize that it is. Don’t feel bad, the consolation prize for you beating us this year is knowing that we had a little part to play in exposing your mediocrity and that you will not get a NC.

Complaining about "late hits" was pretty funny. I enjoyed that "alleged" rapist getting smacked around. It’s a great hit, helmet to helmet or otherwise, when one of your players hits Cowan or Craft, but when we get a little payback, then you cry like a bitch. What’s the matter? You can dish it out but you can’t take it?

Lastly, UCLA will contend again: Everything that rises must surely fall. This is the mode of the universe. You will fall and until you do, I will be there wishing with every once of my being that it happens sooner rather than later. I pray to God that I will be there to see it when it happens and let EVERY trOJay know that I will have a smile on my face.

Yours Truly,

Biggest Penn St. fan.

This jerk post over here a lot, nice guy isn’t he!

They call Pete Carroll a cheater, but if you look up Rick Neuheisel on Wikipedia this is what you will find just 3 sentences in:

He has been linked to multiple severe recruiting and ethics violations over the course of his coaching career. He was the head coach for the Colorado Buffaloes football team as well as the Washington Huskies football team. He coached the Huskies to a victory in the 2001 Rose Bowl. He was fired from Washington in 2003 for betting on the 2003 NCAA Men’s Division I Basketball Tournament in a bracket pool.

Funny how their coach has a huge black eye of a reputation for breaking the rules, yet they seem to be willing to give him a pass for it. Pete Carroll will never, ever be seen in a bad light the way that Neuheisel was and probably will continue to be. He will have to run a clean program for a decade or so for people to forget Colorado and Washington. The bottom line is that 5 years ago he was busted for the gambling, and he flat out lied to his boss. Thats right he flat out lied. You can change your behavior, but I don’t believe you can really change who you are as a person. I believe Neuheisel probably won’t pull the same shenanigans as he did at his other jobs while at ucla. But I believe that he will stay on the straight and narrow not because its the right thing to do, but because he is too afraid of getting caught again.

bruins shouldn’t point fingers at Pete and his program when they have the one college coach in the land with the worst reputation in the land coaching them.

is precisely why the UCLA marketing department’s ad was AT LEAST one season premature.

Next year, who knows? But NO ONE in their right mind was saying UCLA was going to finish anywhere close to competitive with USC. Ugh …

Well at least Rick Neuheisel didn’t pop off about he was going to kick those guys asses across town. Oh wait … that was Tim Floyd.
