This is UCLA's football coach?

Last year there was a glowing propaganda newspaper article on KD "The Thinker," explaining that people should not be misled by the quiet exterior, that there was a profound "thinker" underneath. That maybe so, I don't know, but sure as hell he cannot translate his profound thinking into some meaningful words for the world to hear.

Last week, amid all the preseason media accolades about this year's UCLA talent, experience and favorable scheduling that should propel UCLA into a conference championship and a BCS bowl, the Thinker had this to say:  UCLA this year will definitely "make a move."

Then this morning reading the papers, I wanted to learn how his WCO was progressing.  I mean, I really wanted to gain some insight into his philosophy behind his commitment to the WCO.  The Thinker provided this bit of nonsensical gem:  "Receivers were making some plays downfield, some big throws and big runs, stuff like that."

I cannot help but be appalled by KD uttering such kids-level phrases as "stuff like that."  

What comes out of the Thinker's mouth is pure meaningless pablum that any 10-year-old could utter.  Someone at Morgan Center should either teach him to say something meaningful and intelligent, or else KD should stop giving interviews altogether.  I am embarrassed for him and I am embarrassed for UCLA.  UCLA's head football coach should not be talking in such juvenilistic manner.  

Come, on Thinker, can you do better than that?

It either
is someone who hates coaches who shove their plays and notes down the front of their pants, or someone who hates those who hate those kinds of coaches.

Something like that.

Fox, you came up with the term, so you're gonna have to bail me out here.

I can't take credit for it
Someone else posted it somewhere else (today.)  Some with better computer skills than I will have to find it.)

Frankly, I can't quite remember the definition, but it's on a par with being a re-gifter or an anti-dentite.

I think
it was I, myself, who came up with "pantism."  It's the "anti-pantite" which threw me a little.

We're now coming up with our own lingo.  

When does the season begin again?

Umm...that one was me
I branded Barnes as the anti-pantite...and I must say that Seinfeld has pervaded my life and lingo at a dangerously high level...help me.

Sorry, Bill
I think it's shell-shock from all the crapola descending on the Bruin football program.  I'll stop watching Seinfeld reruns for a while, and I think it will just go away.

I love it
We are finally gelling as a team 5 seasons into the Dorrell regime, and next year we have to start allll over again.  Just think about it, in 2012 we will have 20 returning starters again and a chance at a BCS bowl game.

What you said
perfectly encapsulates the philosophy of the Dorrelistas!

It's a sick and twisted mind cult.

But If You Just Give Him Time
Dorrell will surely be a great coach!
