Can we please just get RID of Simers?

"When it comes to attending different sports events, it couldn't have been a safer situation to go to the bathroom without fear of missing anything.

After all, UCLA's offense was on the field.

You drink as much coffee as it takes to stay awake these days while the Bruins are trying to find the end zone, and you just have to go.

So here it is, fourth quarter, a lollygagging Oregon State just mailing it in with a 19-3 lead, UCLA not throwing a touchdown pass in more than 295 minutes -- and an entire season is only 720 minutes.

And I missed it -- the Bruins' first touchdown pass in 297 minutes 39 seconds, a xx-yard toss to Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, and darned if I know who caught it or how long it was."

I know I'm not pointing out anything new, but geez... could he possibly be any more contemptuous and disrespectful to our guys on the field?

What a pathetic waste of a journalism degree.

Please don't feed the troll

And by “troll,” I mean Slimers.

Respectfully, I think we should freeze this idiot out as much as possible. I don’t think we should quote from his column and I don’t think we should link to his column.

He has shown his true and disgusting stripes again and again. I have no problem with legitimate criticism of our team or coaches but he isn’t interested in legitimate criticism or commentary. He is only interested in controversy.

Just my two cents.

Apparently Simers

Showed up in press box in Corvallis and the UCLA locker room wearing a SuC sweatshirt. He came in with the specific intention of being a total a**hole and doing a hit job on the program.

Yep

He admitted that in his column. You are right—there is no reason for him to have been sent to that game nor should he be covering any UCLA game with his mindset.

He should not be given privileges

if he wants to cover UCLA, he should buy a ticket.

The AD has to show some stones and simply bar him from the access given reporters. He isn’t one.

In the mean time, we need only boycott his employer and sponsors. And, when the fishwrap finally folds, we can say we played a part in its demise.

He wore a trOJie sweatshirt?

What a jerk. I agree with sjh – no clicks, no links, no mentioning. He’s irrelevant. He will probably quit the times to pursue his true calling as an ncaa investigator. He can’t seen anything wrong with just$c* so he would be perfect.

But seriously, folks. It’s time for a moratorium on the JMW (Jim Murray Wannabe.) JMW doesn’t have the universal appeal of CTS or CHP, but I think it fits. Sort of.

I don't know Fox

That might be an insult to Jim Murray. No one at the fishwrap could hold a pen to Jim Murray and I don’t think Slimers’ goal is to be like Jim Murray.
