In Memoriam: Skippy Neuweasel - Fool, Foe & Chief Architect of Bruin Douchebaggery

This is a sad day in Troy as Trojans mourn the firing of Richard Gerald Neuheisel, aka, "Skippy Neuweasel". I have had a passionate love-hate relationship with Skippy since 2008, meaning that I love to hate him. But, I can honestly say that Skippy will be sorely missed by the Trojan family. Every great story needs a classic antagonist, a Snidely Whiplash for Dudley Do-right; a Boris Badenov to Bullwinkle J. Moose; a Barack Obama to the United States of America. And, Skippy played the foil in the USC story with inimitable comedic zeal.
"I thanked Dan for the opportunity," Neuheisel said on the Pac-12's promotional teleconference for the title game, less than an hour after his firing was announced. "I don't need reasons. Certainly when you're UCLA coach, you'd like to play better against USC. When you lose in the fashion we did, that's a difficult pill to swallow."
I'd like to commemorate this post to the greatest archvillain that this USC fan could ever ask for. Skippy, I am truly sorry to see you go. Thank you for the lifetime of memories. I will post a few of my favorites in the comments below.

That’s how Lady Elaine would end her presser.

Woulda been cool to see an old lady call Skippy “Toots’”.
At least Skippy will always have memories of his pro career

Oh now I know what they are talking about with the Passion Bucket saying, so do they Hurl in that thing after great 0-50 games.
I feel for the guy that has to empty that bucket or does it have a drain attached to it. I know thats where they store the real shit.
Yes we can't play in a Bowl and that is lucky for the rest of College FB' but next year we at USC will dominate.

He will be sorely missed by us all
Are we sure the “one more year” chant at the Coliseum was for Barkley and not for Skippy?
Since I finally found it, I wanted to share a link to Neuheisel's press conference after the SC game
My favorite part comes around the 3:45 mark, when Rick is asked to assess what he thinks about the outcome of the game in relation to “closing the gap.”
His answer:
Tonight they were clearly superior to us. Tonight they were. I don’t believe that’s the case at all times and I believe we can close the gap and we will.
Remember, before the game he said:
The gap is closed. We’re much closer to (USC) than we were when I first got here.
So which is it, Skippy? Is the gap closed, or do you just think that maybe, someday, it can be closed?
Man, am I going to miss this guy. People, rec this FanPost up!

In all my years of watching ucla--USC FB I don't think I have ever seen a more inept head coach that is Rick Neuweasel

He aged at least 5 years
Just on Saturday night.
Epic links Tex! Weasel's essence distilled into a single thread.
Giving this a rec!
Larry Scott is a spineless, candy ass, limp wristed, silver spoon sucking, tits and ass tennis show pimping, Champagne swilling, rich asshole "Haavahd" tennis player from New York City with ZERO HISTORY OF KNOWING OR CARING A WHIT ABOUT COLLEGE FOOTBALL, AND EVEN LESS ABOUT PAC-10* FOOTBALL.

good question....
I thought i was the only one in the dark..
Skips from team to team?
Skips around the truth – the positive spin on everything?

hmm...
Which one is “Skip”?
The boy or the roo?
I thought Skippy was peanut butter
Yes, “spread the fun.”
But, I also found this poignant piece on ESPN.
http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=espn:7302185
I feel for Rick and his whole staff.
It is disappointing how UCLA handled his exit.
And, I certainly mean no disrespect by my comment.
The reality is that the team was slowly improving.
If they come out 9-3 or 10-2 next year, it will be due to Rick’s work.
The paid boards are saying Petersen is the guy

That they are going after him or
they’ve signed him?

According to them, yes.

UCLA would be competing with some other schools...
UCLA has been the La Brea Tar Pits of coaches for the past ten years.
That environment can tar and sink even the strongest animal.
I’m skeptical of any ability to bring success into the equation when the ground is that sticky.
According to Joe Schad’s Twitter, Petersen is off the list.

Al Pacino to become coach at ucla!
After taking his team to the Pathium Cup in the Movie On Any Sunday, the ucla AD feels the search has ended.

Seriously?! Poor Dan Guerrero can't give away that $4 Millon! Might as well ask Weasel back
Or if the bruins want to make a REAL splash, give this little guy a call
But they won’t, since it’s not really about winning. It’s fucla.

Just BN weirdness....
I rarely look at the BN website. However I was curious about a ‘link’ on a search fro Chianti Dan….. which took me to a page "Steve Sarkisian’s Agents Working Overtime to Float BS UCLA Candidacy?"… Which starts off…"Of course this nonsense appears in the Trojan Times"… I had no idea that they though of the LA TImes as the Trojan Times…… paranoia….
