FOOTBALL



















pre-game

saw a beautiful full rainbow on the 10 on the way to the rose bowl.


the game

went to the rose bowl to watch the ucla v. washington game. it was a w. thank god -- especially after last week's debacle.

we lost patrick cowan to an injury -- saw him on cruthces. we have a third string quarterback (bethel-thompson) most likely starting next week. a walk on. it can't be good. although i'd like to be pleasantly surprised and eat my own words.

again, defense scored a touchdown off an interception. there was a touchdown off a punt return. otherwise, our offense sucks! ...or more appropriately, our play making sucks! so frustrating to know that we always run the ball down the middle. ugh!

doesn't dorrell know that everybody else knows what he's gonna do? and just going back to basics: what about all those false starts (4 of them, i think)??? how many returning starters are there? how many seasons has dorrell been at ucla???? ugh!

a friend said that ben olson is having difficulty learning the west coast offense. he said it took drew olson 3 seasons to get it down before getting good at it.

meanwhile, ben olson has been injured last season and appears to be injured again this season; thus, can't possible be comfortable with dorrells' offense. i said, why can't dorrell coach and make plays that enhances the strength of the players he's got? why does he have to force the west coast offense on them?

i see it like this. coach ben howland works with what he's got -- coach howland's (initial) recruits may not be superstars but we've gotten back to the big dance in his second season, the national championship game in his third season and back to the final four in his fourth season. we've gotten nowhere with dorrell in his first 4 seasons. and i think coach howland had to climb out of a bigger hole from what lavin left than what dorrell had to get out of from what toledo left.


out the tunnel. GO BRUINS!!!



we are the mighty bruins!

fight song. U-C-L-A, UCLA fight, fight, fight!

the hoochie dance has gotten tamer.

post-game

went to roscoe's chicken and waffles after.

saw neyo.


BASKETBALL

let me just say this now. if kevin love makes a sweet outlet pass (or any other pass) to darren collison, that should be referred to as a "love line" -- i think "love connection" sounds too cheesy. you heard it hear first!!! do i have a proprietary interest in that? you betcha!
