  • DOWN N’ DIRTY

    Southern Cal falls hard at ASU 43-22, thanks to 3 Matt Barkley Turnovers and 3 Personal Fouls by T.J. McDonald (and this is after Barkley had called a SUN DEVIL player “dirty?”) It used to be that when someone said “TJ is dirty,” they were talking about Tijuana.  Now, they’re…

  • BEATING BEAVERS = DAM-AGE CONTROL

    Bruins still give a dam — UCLA turns the tide, by stuffing Oregon State on two key 4th quarter 4th down attempts, to pelt the Beavs 27-19, go to 1-0 in Conference play, and temporarily close the floodgates on fan disgust UCLA and Rick Neuheisel have been drowning in fan discontent this year,…

    We coulda been a contender — While the Sons of Westwood get Brando’d as bums with one-way tickets to Palookaville, the Daughters of Westwood are driving a Streetcar Named Desire The Guys and Dolls of UCLA are going in different directions.  It seems to be Apocalypse Now for the boys, as Rick…

  • GET THE HOOK!

    The “Hook ’em Horns” team makes Neuheisel bring the hook early (to pull Prince after 3 1st Quarter Interceptions), and stampedes to a 49-20 blowout (as Tommy Lasorda’s pep talk falls flat), prompting UCLA fans to call for another hook Welcome to the Neuheisel Farewell Tour.

    Jilt by association — Disgruntled Bruin fans think that Neuheisel and the contents of his Passion Bucket are circling the drain, but the idea that the overflowing quality of the UCLA Spirit Squad is also drying up just doesn’t hold water Even after a win, the dissenting voices are the loudest.  UCLA is coming off a…
