Who Are Those Guys...

This almost comedic...

At first blush, the UCLA football team looks like a movie without a leading man.

There’s no big-time, nationally renowned star player, just star coaches in Rick Neuheisel and Norm Chow. A handful of players have made the preseason watch lists for national honors, but none is considered a front runner for the award or an established marquee attraction in this showbiz town.

Fall camp opened Tuesday, and this might have been the highpoint of a still undefeated 2008 season.

The starting quarterback is injury prone and one torn hangnail away from the sideline. The starting tailback is coming off rehab. When asked to assess the talent level of his team, one Bruin coach asked, “Is that (tape recorder) on?”

Ouch!!

Man that's gotta hurt....

I bet this hurts even more

It’s hard to be positive about the season when Neuheisel, at his first press conference on Tuesday, expressed being "most thrilled" about his kicking game. That’s like hearing someone say he loves his car because it has great cupholders.
