KD'S Incomptence & BN getting publicity on SI.com & LA Times

by uclaike on Oct 23, 2006 3:20 PM PDT

While I am still reeling from the loss, exposing KD's incompetence on national TV is finally starting to give credence to our message, I found a few in a simple Google search, and I'm sure the word is getting out like wildfire.

From SI On Campus (Free Information): They gave Nestor (via Bruins Nation) an award for "Quote of the Week". Definitely click on the link; the article goes on to make fun of Brady Quinn celebrating with his teammates.

Quote of the Week II

"Hang in there friends. Our day will come once this dumb, incompetent, stubborn, clueless 'leader' is gone."
--Bruins Nation, a UCLA blog, about Coach Karl Dorrell after the Bruins heartbreaking 20-17 loss to Notre Dame.

And check out the ONLY two letters published from the LA Times:

Karl, channel Pete

October 21, 2006

Karl Dorrell, I have witnessed several times this season at the end of the half the Bruins just sitting on the ball, conservatively running out the half in many instances when you could have tried to put more points on the board. Does the Washington game sound familiar?

You've got to learn to go for the jugular and ask yourself: WWPCD? What would Pete Carroll do?

With the attitude and casualness only the French might appreciate, the Bruins, late in the game but still with a chance, strolled to the line of scrimmage and surrendered to Oregon. Season over. Thanks, coaches.

And finally, even Yahoo Sports (who already have props in my book for exposing the now "dead' Bushgate story) ripped into Dorrell's great "game management" skills.

BCS hopes in South Bend were preserved, if only for a few weeks. We'd be remiss if we didn't give Bruins coach Karl Dorrell some grief here for poor clock management and Rush Limbaugh-like play calling down the stretch.

I'd be curious to also get some feedback from current students about the mood on campus...

This is a FanPost and does not necessarily reflect the views of BruinsNation's (BN) editors. It does reflect the views of this particular fan though, which is as important as the views of BN's editors.

Students' Opinion

I'd say that easily 90% of the football-educated UCLA students are pissed at Dorrell. In fact, even the most clueless of fans can sense that something is very wrong. During that last possession against Notre Dame, a girl that was watching the game with us asked, "Why do they keep running through the middle like that?" I don't think anyone has an answer for that question...

have to say

I am proud of one of the DB article that was linked up in the diaries earlier today.

again we alumnis will keep the conversation going. I am sure some of us will let DG know in person when we meet him at alumni functions. However, it would really make a difference if students who are not happy with KD express their dissatisfaction (in a constructive and articulate way of course) through the avenues/forums available to them on campus.

I hope you don't mind, but I went ahead and cleaned up your post by adding some codes. Please click on "edit story" to see what I did. Those codes are pretty simple and help a lot.
