He has said it again

''Our goal was to be in a position for this opportunity. I can't tell you I thought we'd be 6-5 with this opportunity,'' Bruins coach Karl Dorrell said. ''But it is what it is.

I propose we now call it the "It is what it is Season."

What????

What the heck does he mean by those comments? I'm confused. DG, please end this misery.

Here's the video

Maybe if we're real lucky, by Dec 3rd, we can all tell a terminated Dorrell:
"It is what it is."

Hey Grok

Not sure if you are capable of doing this. But during yesterday's broadcast, Tim Brant did a really good job. He laid out the reason why folks are upset with Dorrell. He talked about Dorrell's November record. He mentioned how "blogs" are unhappy with KD (giving DD and BN an indirect HT). He also talked about how UCLA football has not lived up the same standard as our other championship level athletic programs (while discussing the "C").

Not sure if you are capable of putting all that in one youtube clip, but if you can, that'd be awesome.

Brant was very passionate about all of it and was more than symphathetic to our plight including taking a dig at the Streeter article. Brant probably hears a lot of it from his son - Kevin Brant - who played under Dorrell at UCLA (KB was a Toledo recruit though). Anyway, if you are capable of putting it all together, then awesome. If not, don't sweat it.

GO BRUINS.

Can we say the same for his record?

6-5. It is what it is. Crappy and mediocre.

"in position"

From reading the standings right, for UCLA to win the Pac-10 we have to beat USC and Arizona State has to lose to Arizona. UCLA does not control its own destiny.

This sort of "back into the postseason" crap is called out for exactly what it is in the NFL. Why is it being used by Dorrell and his fanboys as proof this program is doing well? After 5 years and in a beat-em-up year this is what we can expect? A trip to the Rose Bowl if two statistically unlikely events happen?

Screw that.

"What it is," CTS, is crappy football

You can smile and smirk all you want, but that was one awful display of football. CTS, I hope you recognize that with a half-way decent QB, such as ANY of our guys, Oregon doesn't give you four turnovers inside their thirty, and hence your offense doesn't score. And with that same half-way decent QB, their offense puts up about 20 or so, and you get beat and you are out the door.

So it indeed "is what it is." Everyone saw it. It's the culmination of the body of work that's your career. And it's very bad, CTS. It's very bad.
