OT: UCLA Bruin fans shaking fists at the sky.
Isn't this stuff supposed to happen to Purdue?
If there ever was any question whether UCLA would be competitive for the 2011 football season, it has been answered decisively today:
OG Stan Hasiak dismissed, academically ineligible.
Senior Sean Sheller began spring ahead of Hasiak but moved to left tackle when junior Jeff Baca broke his left ankle. Sheller, who subsequently went down with a broken hand, is expected to begin fall camp at left tackle and remain there until Baca returns, perhaps in October. The only other guards listed on the end-of-spring depth chart are redshirt freshman Wade Yandall and walk-ons Sam Saultz and Jay Barlow.
Only one of UCLA’s four incoming freshman is projected to play guard — Ben Wysocki (6-4, 265) of Los Alamitos High. Another option might be JC transfer Albert Cid (6-4,320), who verbally committed to the Bruins in May after playing for Citrus Community College in 2010.
Neuheisel is 4-8, 7-6 and 4-8. And still nothing set at quarterback.
That is very unfortunate for Neuheisel. I guess the prodigal son in really in the hot seat now.
For QBs, they do have RIchard Brehaut who I thought would be the starter this year.
So much for UCLA taking over while USC was down. If they want to do that, they better start soon.
Do you remember this gem.
Can we all agree Hoke has a far superior point?
Have enough points to give this one a bump but I'll just say, this guys point is soft compared to Hoke
Needs a fair comparison.
It's like watching a Michelangelo take on a first grade finger painting. Sure, the kid's trying, but the other guy is Michelangelo!
Hoke's point is awesome yet terrifying, as it should be. The point in this poster says, "...or not. Whatever..."
Oh yeah. And I actually believed it for a little bit, not that UCLA was going to replace USC as much as they'd compete much more closely. Not so much anymore though.
I think they had a good recruiting class in 2010. But it really fell off in 2011. I guess the allure of the new coach faded away.
According to Rivals, here is how UCLA's recruiting classes have ranked in the Pac-12:
2005: #4
2006: #2
2007: #6
2008: #2
2009: #2
2010: #2
2011: #7
Based on those numbers, UCLA should at least have the talent to be doing much better than they have been. I don't follow UCLA enough to know whether the problem is in a lack of player development, or poor schemes and game management decisions, or what--probably it's a combination of things. But the bottom line is that Neuheisal is a lousy coach.
Hoke's point is done with a fanatical love for the University of Michigan. He is pointing young men to victory.
Nueheisel is pointing towards 4 and 8 and a part-time job at CBS.
That's what they get for hiring that slimy guy as coach. Neuheisel is like John Calipari, except he doesn't actually win.

that the AMHGs are considering a relocation?
Can't say I feel sorry for Slick Rick.
Which is why I clicked on the post.

Besides typically having mediocre teams, the problem with UCLA right now is that the school can not spend to the degree that USC can for football related things such as facilities etc. Public Schools in LA are toast as there is just no funding at all.
I'm not sure that's the reason. UCLA is a state school, not a city school. And while the state is struggling, I don't think ucla's endowment is. Given how much talent there is in southern California, there's no excuse for their ineptitude.
Despite playing in the Rose Bowl and living is SoCal (okay two pretty good points) I don't know why a player would choose UCLA over USC. I went to a game 2 years ago and it was the worst game day experience. Pretty much nullified the fact they play at the Rose Bowl.
Many are not aware that if you are a student at UCLA, you have to drive ~30 mins to get to the Rose Bowl as UCLA does not have a stadium on campus as almost every other school does.
You can go to USC and live in SoCal.... and you can also play in the Rose Bowl once every 2 years, and more if you make it to the postseason.

UCLA's gameday experience may be crappier than USC's, but in basically every other aspect it's a better place to go to school. Westwood >>> South-Central.
I get the feeling there's room available.
...Offensive Line Hating God has reared his ugly head. Perhaps he's the same guy as Angry Michigan Secondary Hating God and this means he's moved on to new challenges. One can hope, can't one?
Well, I heard that "hope springs eternal" or something like that....I can't remember where I saw that....
