UCLA - Arizona: Pregame Guesses Volume 3

It's that time again ... here are the Pregame Guesses for the UCLA-Arizona game.

(For those who don't remember how we play -- check this link.)

If you haven't joined in yet, there is plenty of time. No one is yet running away with the competition. (BYU results are here; Tennessee results are here, after Arizona, I'll do a three game total to see where everyone stands.).

This week we've got Arizona. I don't know what it is, but there's something about their head coach, Mike Stoops, that makes me want to ask at least one question involving penalty yards. I don't know if Arizona commits a lot of penalties or not, but the guy is always stomping around the sideline frothing at the mouth -- he's like a walking unsportsmanlike conduct. (When you consider the fact that Arizona basketball coach Lute Olson's greatest skill is working the refs, it almost guarantees a penalty question.)

I'm also tempted to do an over under on the number of times FOX analyst Petros Papadakis references his own playing career during the telecast, but that would force me to listen with the sound on, but at the moment, my plan is to watch the game with the sound down on the TV, while Metallica's Death Magnetic plays on continuous loop at near-maximum volume in the background. (If you want to hear a great on-air battle between Petros and Joe McDonnell -- go here, it's pretty funny. This is after Petros called Joe out for saying that Patrick Cowan's injury was a good thing. Joe's show is becoming more like the Raiders all the time -- a once great franchise that has seriously lost its way ... and aren't you glad I didn't say Bruins?)

Anyways, here are your pregame guesses for Arizona:

Total number of Penalty Yards (both teams combined), within 10. (Ex. If the total is 150, then anything between 140 and 160 is correct -- and that's inclusive).

Number of touchdown passes for Kevin Craft

Total tackles for Reggie Carter

As always, just put your answers in the subject line of your comment. LIke this:

100, 2, 10

It just makes it easier to add up the scores.

A Metallica fan….I knew I liked your style for a reason. Haven’t heard the new album yet but hearing good things about it.

Rock on

Death Magnetic . . . not bad considering how they really went soft in the mid 90’s.

Bought Death Magnetic today. Decent comback after Load (Of Crap), Reload (of More Crap), and the utterly horrendous St Anger. Still, they’ll never come close to Disposable Heroes, Lepper Messiah, MoP, etc. again.

G, have you ever heard of Mozart?

Listen to the first act finale from Turandot (starting with “non piangere, Liu.” The second act finale from Barber of Seville. “Di quelle pira” from Trovatore. Give them a try. You’ll forget about all those things having to do with Crap.

Who is this Mozart you speak of?

But I do know Sebastian Bach, though I don’t think he sings in Italian. I recommend Slave To The Grind.

Actually, I have tried to learn some Mozart on the piano but simply cannot do it.

In the absence of a game thread, I post here

Bruins, I will have to leave this game in your (or as BB2000 would say, "y’all’s") hands. I must depart to Tropicana Field where I will be getting paid by Fox Sports to “work” (and I use the term loosely) the Rays-Twins game. I’m not sure what my duties will be, but I think it’s basically hanging the Fox banners and then taking them down. But this could be a play-off clinching day for the Rays. And I get paid for doing this.

The Rays plight of last year resembles the Bruins plight of this year following the BYU game. Nothing went right for the Rays last year, and they can do no wrong this year. There’s no reason why the Bruins can’t do the same today against the ’Cats.
