dorrell sucks!

fire dorrell!

there is a lot of blame to go around during ucla's loss to notre dame -- who, previously, was 0-5. embarassing! but the blame, primarily, rests on dorrell.

it was utah all over again. no touchdown loss. again.

third string, freshman, walk on quarterback played. yes, he made bad decisions -- like throwing the ball to a notre dame guy when there was no bruin anywhere around that guy. (i did say that him starting can't be good...)

there were also TWO failed touchdowns because the bruins seem to keep on dropping the ball! WTF?!?!

but primarily, what plays where they calling?!?!?! bethel-thompson is a third string, freshman, walk on. and why was he told to keep on throwing the damned ball?!?!?!

why did bethel-thompson look so unprepared given that a) cowan is injured, b) olson is injury prone and got injured and c) there are no other quarterbacks after cowan and olson?!?!?! yes, i know he is a third string, freshman, walk on. but they've got what they call "practice" and "coaches" to at least prepare him for something. good lord he was awful!

and do i need to repeat it? notre dame was an 0-5 team? what was dorrell doing in practice?!?!?! he better not blame this loss to "injuries."

8-clap

bruin spell out

highlights of the day (because the game was a definite lowlight)
1. spotted: lorenzo mata (who is now lorenzo mata-real), james keefe (with a new haircut) and deandre robinson before the game (i can't wait for basketball season to start!!!!)

2. the bruins won! i meant those kiddie bruins playing at half time against the kiddie trojans. and the baby bruins did it with a touchdown!!! so adorable!

*as a sidenote, how come those kiddie bruins know what to do to get a touchdown and dorrell doesn't!?!?! (perhaps, because the kiddie bruins weren't doing the west coast offense?)

3. there was also that moment of joy in the stadium when stanford tied u$c, and eventually got the extra point to BEAT $c. both bruins and irish at the rose bowl were happy. the bruins had to find victory elsewhere because it ain't happening on the field. the trees' victory over $c also means that there is still a chance ucla could be pac-10 champs because the utah and notre dame losses were non-pac 10 games.

4. the $c loss meant the headlines were primarily about that upset and not about ucla giving the irish their first win of the season.

5. spotted: kevin love after the game towering over the crowd (i can't wait for basketball season to start!)

...oh, and have i mentioned, i can't wait for basketball season to start!
