Hartman doesnt get it

While we have all have read many post here concerning the blatant biased press and their hit jobs on U.C.L.A., my complaint is directed at the local sports talk. Since espn radio carries suc games, I understand them interviewing Cheaty Petey and various players constantly and very few U.C.L.A. players and coaches. However, 570 radio,which carries the Bruins games, has far fewer interviews with U.C.L.A. players and coaches, mostly with CRN. Being a stay home dad,I listen often to both stations. There have been comments here before, complaining about Hartman.

Today, Hartman and Meyers were talking about the worst and best pro teams and their fans. Hartman then commented on fans who support bad teams. He then said he saw a guy at the car wash "rocking a U.C.L.A. shirt, shorts and cap" he then said" why? doesn't he get it? doesn't he understand?" "They have lost 5 in a row!"

So, are we supposed to put away our gear and have it be our dirty little secret that we are bruins fans? I am sorry if this ran on, but that's just an example of what is put out there. Thanks for listening.

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.

I went ahead and edited your post by breaking them up in pargraphs and making some other basic edits for your post to be more readable. However, next time please do not treat this place where you can get away by posting text messages. I understand doing that if you want to fire off a quick comment here and there in the threads. But not in the FanPost section.

Also, if you (and this goes for others has well) just want to share a short one pargraph blurb to “chat” about then please use the fanshot function. Thanks.

No, it's true.

When SC began their run of 7 games straight their fans became insufferable. (Well, if you call Raider’s fans who switched jerseys “fans”) Those Trojans who I do know would comment on that fact saying something like, “didn’t you guys get the memo? You suck!”

And that’s the difference between us and Bandwagon U. We are always proud of our university. We are always proud to be Bruins. That’s why during our 8 game stretch you couldn’t find anybody wearing a South Central shirt for all the king’s gold.

Sounds to me like Hartman gets it perfectly

He’s a sports radio guy. His job is to elicit a response- positive or negative, it doesn’t matter. Just as long as there’s a response. It looks to me like he got one from you.

That's EXACTLY why.

Any idiot can be a frontrunner. Look at all the bandwagoners in L.A. with their stupid red and yellow car flags. Where were they during the Tollner years?

I wear more UCLA gear during the down times to let everyone know who I support, no matter what the record.

Big ups to the guy at the car wash. That’s a fan.
