Excellent Article About UCLA Defense

by alcor805 on Apr 2, 2006 1:12 AM PST

On espn.com of all places. Gene Wojciechowski, formerly of the L.A. Times, praise the Bruins with great hyperbole:

The Bruins don't simply play defense, they roll you in bubble wrap, apply duct tape and send you home in an overnight package. It's about as sexy as Billy Packer in a Speedo, but it works. Gawd, does it work.
He went on to critique LSU's coaching:
As the UCLA lead grew as though it were on Creatine, LSU coach John Brady and his assistants could only lean back in their blue folding chairs and shake their heads. Those Tiger team huddles during timeouts must have been keepers.

Brady: "Uh ..."

I was laughing for most of the first half. I guess I wasn't the only one.

NCAA Logo Feces

Our uniforms are classic. I hate when the NCAA smears their logo feces everywhere it doesn't belong:

Greg Maddux Comparision

My fiance said he heard someone comparing us to Greg Maddux. You go up to the plate thinking, "Yeah, I can hit off of him," then you head back to the dugout thinking to yourself, "What the hell just happened?"

It's just the way I like it. I don't care if the "experts" think we're boring or don't have a chance. I have always found that winning is the best silencer.

Somebody get Mr. Gottlieb a hanky....

I caught some sports radio on the "Worldwide leader's" radio station earlier today, and Doug Gottlieb gets on and just starts bitching about how ugly college basketball has become, and how it is the NBA's fault for stealing all the talent from college basketball.

Huh? scussi? baking powder? This ESPN hand-puppet is reaching so far into his ass for reasons to refute this year's eventual national champion, it's getting comical. Of course, there was no mention of this "NBA-dilution" theory all year long with Duke/Villanova/Uconn plodding their way to an uncontested chamionship, but now, it's an issue affecting all of college basketball. Sniffle...sniffle....

GO BRUINS!!
