Lady...you've gotta make up your mind!

About a month ago I put up a fan post pointing out an interesting read about ucla in the OCR by Marcia Smith.

This almost comedic...

From the OCR:

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....

Of course Marcia was skewered by the crazies at BN but to me it was really neither here or there. I thought it was funny and moved on.

Well it seems that Marcia has had a change of heart...

It’s time to crumple up all the negativity written about UCLA football and start to fill up our passion buckets.

Granted the Bruins and new coach Rick Neuheisel have won only one game and suddenly rocket blasted from being an afterthought to No. 23 in this week’s Associated Press poll.

But what the Bruins have done with Monday’s 27-24 upset of then-No. 18 Tennessee is more than shun predictations and exceed expectations.

But has she really?

Her closing line might be a bit telling.

Until they play again.

Marcia Marcia Marcia...you have to make up your mind!

Regardless It's waaaaaay to early to be anointing ucla as some kind of savior.

Kind of like the so-called Messiah running for the presidency. Come to think of it that makes a lot of sense...
