BEUERLEIN-PSYCHOTIC? NOPE, JUST AN EX-RAIDER WHO KNOWS A THUG WHEN HE SEES ONE (KNEE SOMEONE IN THE HEAD)

More Cowbell!  We’ve GOT to have more Cowbell!

CBS Announcer remarks: “USC Thugs!” after LenDale White takes a knee — to an opponent’s head

Not that it was a really big secret, but now the SCat is out of the bag:  USC has a reputation for being DIRTY, and thanks to CBS Broadcaster and ex-Raider Quarterback Steve Beuerlein, now everyone in the Nation who was watching the Titans play the Bengals knows about it.

Not only that, but they got to see a perfect example, with their own eyes.  After a play was over, LenDale White went over to a Cinci player, out-of-bounds, and kneed him right in the helmet.  It was right in front of a Referee, so for once, an ex-trojan actually got busted for his evil-doing.  In this case it was 15 yards.

After the network came back from commercial, but while Beuerlein thought they were still on the break, the former Notre Dame star clearly said: “USC Thugs.”  Being an ex-QB for the Fighting Irish, he surely has no love lost for troy, and being an ex-Raider, he knows everything there is to know about DIRTY play.  So when he saw a typical example of how usc’s win-at-all-costs-and F-the rules attitude sticks with the trojans even at the NFL level, he couldn’t help but blurt out what most Bruin fans already take for granted.

It would be a shame if he loses his job over this gaffe.  After all, he was just saying what everyone else in the know was thinking.  And speaking of shame, it would be a terrible shame if you missed this next batch of photos, especially after the Oregon Girls received such positive feedback.

Beuerlein experimented with thugs in the 80’s.

“..up in Oregon.  Won’t take me alive.  Got a case of dynamite, I can hold out here all night.”

It’s like Ducks vs. Swans.

Flying High Again  (”People say I’m crazy.  I don’t understand…”)

Hugs, not Thugs

When the Ducks have to pay a new Local Tax, do they call it a “Eugene Levy?”

NOTE:  TODAY STARTS “BLUE & GOLD WEEK,” FORMERLY KNOWN AS “BEAT SC WEEK.”  TODAY (MONDAY) AT NOON IS THE BEAT SC CAR SMASH.  BE THERE!!

    Geof still has the rowers legs. If you don’t know, Geof rowed Crew at UCLA and was member of the 1970 varsity Crew that ended Washington’s home course win streak going back to 1945. It was an epic day in UCLA athletics. I’ll take Geof on my team any day, any where, any time. GO BRUINS GEOF!

    Hey, TH–sure I am a true Bruin! Always have been. Want UCLA to beat USC in everything, every time.

    Just not a Trojan-HATER, though I enjoy a lot about your site. Agree we need more cowbell. Love Geoff, always have. Agree on your cheerleader rankings, overall. Not sure I would even put Oregon second, though. One or two stars, compared to the many on what may be the best UCLA squad using that inappropriate criterion at work here. Though we all miss Chelsea.

    Let’s hope for more joy on Saturday! GO BRUINS!

    Hey BG —

    We just put that shot up here so that we could post it on BZ for Bruin Steve. We didn’t drag it out just to take a cheap shot at you. Thanks for being cordial about it all, despite our obvious, CORE disagreement about what we think is one of the most crucial elements of being a Bruin. We don’t like Jews who hang out with neo-Nazis either. But there is little doubt that you are a gentleman, just brought up as a Bruin with a slightly different (if not misguided) perspective.

    Fully understood, T-H. Actually got a good chuckle out of it. And of course, I am a warp in the Force as Bruins go. I am surely the only one who ever has, or ever will have, the distinction of receiving a University Service award from the UCLA Alumni Association and being honored as Herder of the Week by the USC Thundering Herd. I have included a URL of the writeup on that to provide you with further grist for your mill:

    If it is any consolation, Trojans don’t know what to make of me either. I make everyone uneasy. This week, though, it is pure: all Bruin, all the way. I want this one very badly, particularly since the odds against us are far worse than they were last year for a variety of reasons.

    Whoever that old dude cheerleader is, you need to get rid of him. He’s really fucking annoying.

    Dear Tom —

    We approved your message for publication, but we do NOT agree with you. Geof Strand has been a loyal Bruin for 30 years, and everything he does is motivated by his love for UCLA. We left his section because it CAN become tiresome when things aren’t going well, but we give him credit for uniting the crowd and giving the Bruins a legitimate Home Field Advantage.
