Fait accompli?

Up in Oregon everyone is talking about who the Ducks will face in the Holiday Bowl (emphasis added throughout):

There’s an even split this week in projecting whether Oregon will face Missouri or Oklahoma State in the Holiday Bowl. Nobody is predicting a UCLA win over USC, which would send the Ducks to Las Vegas or perhaps the Emerald Bowl.

While down in LA, on "What's Bruin," which is supposed to be LA Times's special blog on all matters UCLA, the lead blogger (who is a Trojan alum) is writing this:

[E]ven though this is UCLA's "bowl game," motivation isn't likely to muster them through. In terms of talent, physicality and practice intensity, there's no contest in this one. Home-field advantage is muted by the fact that USC is actually closer to the Rose Bowl than UCLA, and Trojan fans will be out in force to check out the venue of their next contest, scheduled for Jan. 1.

Just noting all of this down now ... because some day we are going to look back at this and lol a little.

GO BRUINS.

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.

Well, if his

bias wasn’t perfectly clear before, it certainly is now. I mean, we may be hurting this year and no-one in their right mind would ‘expect’ a Bruin victory, but this is still a game of football in which anything can happen. Our loss to ND at home last year certainly proved that it’s possible. I am really disappointed in Adam as I expected him not to throw it in our faces. At least now we know.

Lastly, he cited “practice intensity”?? At least we don’t have Cheatey Jr. running around screaming “whistle, whistle.” This guy is scum.

I will lol a little extra

if the day that we’re looking back at this and laughing at it is this Saturday.

Meanwhile, Rose is definitely pushing it. I may have given him a little too much slack the last time I had to expose his bias.

I'm Laughing Now.

“Practice intensity”? Good grief. This person is NOT a journalist, nor is he a writer. We’ve previously exposed the fact that he is also not a grammarian, he is disingenuous, and he is a total slacker. (Glad I don’t read any of his crap…what a waste of time.)

(I wonder who he’d rather have date his daughter…the TrojieQB or KCraft?)

Love My Bruins
