Two bruins academically ineligible, Hasiak done at ucla...

This is just what I needed to cap off a crappy day!

I got a kick out of this...

UCLA sophomore center Kai Maiava and freshman wide receiver Morrell Presley are academically ineligible for the EagleBank Bowl.

Jake Dean will start at center for the Bruins, with Nick Ekbatani sliding to right guard.

It is a huge bowl for the offensive line, which faces the No. 19 rush defense in the country in the Temple Owls.

Obviously we have our own issues with three knuckleheads of our own not hitting the books...but for the life of me I don't remember anyone on this site ever claiming how superior our academic standards are.

Neuheisel's teams have always been soft and this is evidence of it...just like condoning (wink wink) "going over the wall" when the team so desperately needs the practice.

This is why I am not worried, regardless of how many recruits he picks off from SC they never perform under his coaching.

Heck, even Nestor is wondering if Neuheisel has what it takes to be ucla's coach...

And that is saying something!!

In other news...

UCLA offensive lineman Stanley Hasiak has been sent home to Hawaii for personal reasons and is not likely to return, according to a source in the Bruins’ football program.

Hasiak, a freshman, was one of the top recruits in the Bruins’ 2009 recruiting class. UCLA Coach Rick Neuheisel would not comment on the situation.

He was ranked fourth nationally as a guard by Rivals.com and was also recruited by USC, California, Michigan and Oregon, among others.

Hasiak, who is 6 feet 5, 318-pounds, has had trouble adjusting since coming to UCLA. He has had a series of confrontations with teammates during practices. He also has had a handful of off-the-field incidents, according to sources familiar with the program, including screaming at doctors and nurses while waiting for an X-ray at a hospital.

I know we discussed this earlier this season, but I thought he made the turn. Man I hope this kid gets it all worked out...
