BN Gameday: Arizona Beatdown Second Half Thread

Well folks, this has been a laugher of a first half tonight. The defense allowed Arizona to score touchdowns on all 6 of their possessions in the first half, allowing 42 points, 416 yards and 26 first downs. In one half! To a team entering the game 1-5 and led by an interm coach!! Not much else I can say about that. This team really looks like it couldn't give two shits. Except at the end of the half when the teams actually started fighting - with Taylor Embree and the ultra-mature Shaq Richardson getting the boot. Then the team showed some fight...
While Rick Neuheisel is digging his own coaching grave tonight, Joe Tresey might as well get on the phone with Southwest Airlines and/or U-Haul during the halftime break, because he just needs to get away. The offensive play-calling has not been too bad, but a pair of turnovers has killed what little chance the offense had to stay in sight of the Wildcats.
This is your second half thread.
Go Bruins!

I'd like to remind everyone
The product you see on the field is the result of two weeks of preparation. Scary!!!!!

It was actually one yard lost...followed by a missed FG
and that play call only makes sense if you’re in four-down territory.
Long live the Blue and Gold.
Me too.
I had better start drinking in a big way to catch up with everyone else.
Been a Bruin since birth
Yards 416 to 177, first downs 26 to 8, 3rd down efficiency 6/7 to 2/5 (and they converted on 4th down on the one they missed)
Oh, yeah – points. They’re ahead.
I would seriously consider not playing the 2nd half if I was CRN.
There is no upside at all. There will be another fight, someone is going to get hurt (probably not a part of the fight).
How can you justify keeping this staff together for another week after this?

i used to think there was no way Rick got canned mid season
but at this point…how can even Guerrero justify keeping him around?
I've been more patient with Neu than others...
but tonight has to be the last straw doesn’t it? He’s completely lost control of this team. It seems like they care about anything but what’s going on on the field.
I have never been this low as a fan
Long live the Blue and Gold.

Options... in 2007!
So we had the choice of Al Golden, John Harbaugh, and even DeWayne freaking Walker and we chose the local kid done good. Talk about all-time backfires.
"Digging his own coaching grave"...
The only bright spot tonight.
I was enraged when Bynum thugged out to end the season to the Mavs...
… but this is WORSE.

Check out the post from Tracy Peirson in the premium football board titled “this will make you feel better”". I’d post it but I’m pretty sure I shouldn’t. I just hope he’s right.
I'm not a subscriber, so can you give a little hint of some kind?
Hope on the horizon when we’re behind 42-7 at halftime has to mean chocolate is involved somehow. So how about a hint.

CAN WE HAVE A POLL?
WHO THINKS THAT DG WILL FIRE RN AFTER TONIGHT?
ZERO percent
this is DG we are talking about
Go Bruins!
No chance
DG is sticking with him to the bitter end.
It's considered rude to run up the score...
so it’s highly unlikely that AZ will equal the 76 point margin from 1929. It’s important to look at the bright side of things…
this D couldn't an O

hah!
I can’t tell which team has had an interim coach for 1 week and which has had one for 4 years. Any neu supporters left out there? anybody wanna wait till the seasons over? This is pathetic, we have a gimpy corner on their BEST receiver, sean westgate is playing with A CAST, Franklin fumbles and is allowed to get back in the game while malcolm jones watches, we actually threw a pass to embree, Rosario looks like he doesn’t give a fuck. This is a trainwreck. Let’s can Neu and Guerrero at once. They are both responsible.

I think at this point you just have to laugh
I’ve seen my share of big losses, and eventually it’s all you can do…. The admin’s GOTTA make a change at the end of the year at the latest. This is probably the low point.
It’ll start getting better.
We are who I THOUGHT we are
A poorly coached, undisciplined, and unmotivated team. I can’t even watch the 2nd half I’m so disgusted.
I also can’t stop picturing the guy from The Karate Kid on the UA sidelines yelling “Get em a body baaaag…yeaaaaah” Except we will just end up getting our asses kicked in the end.
Well, at least I no longer have to struggle with the internal debate over wether or not RN should keep his job. Bu-Bye all time losingist coach in Bruins history
Not on Prince
I hope CRN does not bring hundley in. Nothing he can do to win and why burn the redshirt.
Let leach start hundley on the right path.
This game is like all others this year, it’s mostly on the D (as though we had one.)
sjh
If I was Hundley I'd "lose my helmet"
… although it might be hard to get those hard hat stickers back.
Agree
I will be livid if Hundley’s redshirt is burned in second half.
I am actually not living right now. Just numb.
No way we can salvage Hundley's redshirt
With this uninspired play on both sides of the ball. If Prince doesn’t get hurt in this game, he will find a way to do so soon. Might as well get Hundley some game experience. I just don’t seeing Prince playing every snap until the end of the year

I don't think it is a good idea to fire the head coach in midseason as a general rule,
but Tressey has to go. The defense is the worst in the history of UCLA football history.

This game epitomizes everything that's been wrong with UCLA Football
We do the little things wrong and the big things even more wrong. This game is a big $#@! You to all the Alumni who put their hearts into this team.
Let’s recap what we would have liked to see, and what CRN has given us:
You want to stop them on 3rd down? No $#! You. Zona goes 6 for 7 and a killer 4th down 20+ yard gain.
You want to win the takeaway margin? No $#! You, here’s two gimp funbles.
You want to avoid penalties? No $#! You, here's more offsides and false starts.
You want an aggressive defense? No $#! You, 10 yard cushions all day.
You want to see a time play with fire? No No $#! You, UCLA's D-Line is going to get blown off the LOS by the 119th ranked rush team in the country.
You want a "Power Running Game"? oh wait, that's what CRN wants... well still, No $#! You we got 25 yards total.
You want to have a respectable showing on National Television for once? No $#@! You, eat another Thursday night Embarrassment.
Oh and to top it off, here’s a classless brawl at the end of the half to cap off the embarrassment. Break out the brown paper bags.
Can't read that middle section.
Not sure if it’s just me. Some sort of glitch.
is this better?

NEED TO CALL
Need to call UP URBAN MYERS and get him as are new coach.
I can totally see Guerrero calling Urban Myers
I can’t see him calling Urban Meyer, though.
Somebody said it up thread
I have never felt NUMB before watching sports. It’s very odd. Almost interesting. I do really help there’s some change before the end of the season. Get an interim coach to salvage some recruits.

So
too bad our D wasn’t on the field. I wouldn’t mind half the starters being suspended to give the other guys a chance the coaches won’t.
Rick's pathetic. Yet Karl got way more venom that Rick ever gets.
I’m done with Rick Neuheisel.

Because he was a Dead Man Walking for a longer period of time. Then he threw his players under the bus. Then he played the race card.

How can you justify playing everyone?
As if this defense was so good and deep that everyone needs to play and merits the playing time. Freshness is bullshit. If you can’t beat your man or maintain containment you shouldn’t play. I’m so sick of this sorry ass arm tackling bunch of so called players. Play the best damn players every fuk… play damn it. Every play these dipshits stand straight up and get in a bitch slapping contest with the guy in front of them, meanwhile the RB is scooting past him or the ball is out of the qb’s hands. Damn it!!!!!!!
You guys know that should we score more points in this half than Arizona,
Rick will dismiss the First Half, say we should forget about it, then spin the game as if we’re back headed in a positive direction.

That's what confuses me, though
In the first-half thread, people were saying to bench Franklin after his fumble. How do you decide who gets a second chance? (Not trying to be combative, sincerely wondering if this is some fine point of football theory I’m missing here.)
It's not Rosario's fault.
All of our good players are inconsistent. That’s on the staff. Plain and simple.

Embree didn’t.
The kid is a jackass and a thief (allegedly), but no one can expect someone to be remorseful immediately after that situation.

I have the perfect solution for the next UCLA football coach.
Do you remember those two Jeopardy TV show where two former contestants played against the computer? The computer creamed the two contestants. Likewise, computers have been programmed to win at chess convincingly. HOW ABOUT FOOTBALL. Imagine the ratings on TV when the computer coaches his first game and calls the offensive and defensive plays.
The computer could also be programmed to determine how give out those stickers for the helmets. Think of all the football games that could be programmed into the computer and how it could analyze them. The computer could show the players clips on how to tackle, catch passes, kick field goals properly etc. Let’s hear it for coach computer.
The computer could diagram plays and explain how to run them. After a game we can send emails to the computer and it could answer our replies
Craig James doesn't want to answer his own question
by saing the coaching is the problem…’cause then his buddy Mike Leach might show up on our sidelines.
FWIW...

Rhetorical question

Go Bruins!
My Recommendations
Now I have given up on this game, I like to make the following recommendations: (1) Fire Tressey, (2) Abandon Pistol, and (3) Employ the single wing formation ( Coach Red sanders used back in 1954 ) which is for a team with good running backs and no quarterback.
Craig James blaming the players
Huh? CRN knows football? really? Why are they making soo many damn excuses?
Wow
Craig James claiming Rick knows football but just doesn’t have the athletes to be competitive. Are you kidding me?
Did some surfing during the last time out
in case anybody can tear themselves away from the game. We have Improve Prostate Health, Fight Acne! and Perkier Boobs on right now.
Craig James is a fucking moron
Gives Rick a bullshit excuse of not having the talent.
What a fucking blowhard dick. Gee, Craig, don’t want to see Leach end up in Westwood?
BSPN still employing James destroyed any shred of legitimacy they had left
James has been outed as a liar and a fraud. BSPN just looks worse for keeping him

greg in denver, U.C.L.A. guy for life - BruinsNation.com
They're contradicting themselves
The coaches are great, they know what they’re doing.
The coaches aren’t getting the right players. They aren’t recruiting well.
Got to push the BSPN talking points
Got to do what they can to keep Rick in the job and keep Leach out. Fuckers.
sad part is
we are so irrelevant that most people watching this crap are eating this shit up.
p.s. what does MIMBOS mean?
Stanford gets the few guys it can. We recruit for the most part against SC, Cal, Oregon…and sometimes Stanford.
It got Nottingham. And CAL is also in CA I think.
It’s not just SC is the point.
UCLA and U$C should always be at the top of California recruiting
Cal and Stanford have been second-fiddle traditionally.
Your mindset that they are legitimate powers shows how fucking terrible our program has become, how far we have fallen. Pathetic.
Cal is the big joke
Looking at their mediocrity over the past few years – aside from new facilities which happen to be a few yards from a fault line that is already overdue for a major quake – and has had a pair of smaller tremors this afternoon/evening…

Man
When was the last time an AZ kicker put 8 in a row through the uprights? This is bizarro-land
If we ignore Leach because of Craig Fucking James
It will be a total fucking shame. The guys is probably the most creative TEACHER among currently active coaches in not just the game but getting his guys to graduate even when they don’t care about school (see his tactics at Tech, going from last to first in grad rates with awesome punishments for guys who missed class). If our so-called “elite academic” institution ignores him because of the sleaze-smear campaign of James and TT polls, we deserve never to win anything in football.
i think that's the guy who said he'd grow his hair out till AZ won 2 games
circa November of last season

News Break... We don't have the talent.
QB, DL, OL, DB’s, LB’s, WR’s You can’t tell me these guys are matching up. That’s BS. We don’t have the talent or the coaching to even get the most out of the talent we do posses. End of story.

Going over the talent and potential of this team. You are not going to relitigate this now on BN. If you are, you will be gone because it will be nothing short of disruptive and it will ignore previous discussions with repetitive discussions that won’t add anything to this community.
Don’t respond to this explanation and don’t bring up this ignorant question again. Thanks.
Coaching has more to do with it than you realize, imo. Just look at the turnarounds at places like Bama, USC, and Florida when they improved their coaching. Hell, look at how our guys reacted when Ben took over for Lavin.

He was great, but they still used a platform in college then
He didn’t transition well to the pros, unfortunately

Yay!
And he’s involved with a real sport now!
Only positive
Barely. Gonzalez gets three points.
We can still win this
get virtually pumped!!!!
Okay, I was contemplating wearing a brown bag over my head
for the next home game at the Rose Bowl with “Fire Neu!” on it.
Should I do it?

This
is a damning comment. FWIW the worst in my history is still the 66 SC hung on us in ’05. I was there.

If you are referring to '06
I was there too and it felt that much sweeter. Funny to think that the "05 game technically doesnt exist now in the record books, but it was still that bad watching it

nvm
realized you meant that the team was actually winning games. thats kind of why it was hard to swallow. I wouldn’t have shrugged if you told me ‘zona was going to score 48 on us today, but even after they blew us out in ’05, I thought we would show up the next week for our RIVALS… and we didn’t

I was prepping for my first set of law school finals at the time
I did watch the game, I think. But not taht much stuck, given the outside circumstances.
Tonight really may be the worst that I have ever seen from the Bruins.

I think ESPN is in a "code red"
talk about anything but the boring game that is going on.

Why is James in love w/ Rick?
I seriously don’t know why he keeps defending him. Do they have a history?
I like this for a shirt
Keep Rick alive!

And BSPN pays him a lot of money to work for them

Props to the Bruin fans who stuck this out until the end.
There will be better days, everyone. Sometime.

I Have To Believe That You're Right
It’s really tough right now. And I’m not smart enough to know who the guy will be to take us back to the Promised Land. Personally, I don’t think Leach would be a good fit for UCLA but that’s just my 2 cents worth.
Los Angeles Rams and the UCLA Bruins!!!!!

Abomination.
I knew better. But I looked forward to this game all week, while acknowledging it was a “trap” for UCLA given I can’t recall the last time they beat UA in Tucson. It really feels final now, the vibe on this blog, we all know that there are no more chances for Rick and Co. Get it over with now. Goodbye sir.
someone please kill this game thread
and burn it

post game guesses:
days left for CRN?
I say he’s gone by saturday or sunday

Nope - not as long as Doughnut Dan Guerrerror is in charge. He lasts the rest of the year.
And with that I’m gone. Sleep well, Bruins. At least we won’t get humiliated this saturday
I know what I would do if I were CTSS
I would do the honorable thing. I would keep drawing my enormous salary until I got fired.
Can we invent a new grade that is lower than F-
for this game? Z-?
What do you think I can get for
that “Texas ain’t so big” T-shirt i picked up at the Texas game last month? Must be worth something to someone just on a kitsch basis.
Bruin Spring/Occupy Morgan Center
Who’s with me????
why am I surprised?
A complete ass kicking, by a 1-5 team that didn’t have a coach, in which we were coming off a bye week, and we were completely unprepared and unmotivated. Sweet.

I don't have much left
I started at UCLA in 2001…I think I’m the kiss of death. I feel like if I stop caring maybe we will win. Very tempting, but only for the greater good.
I know the feeling
but the masochistic side goes in for more pain in being a die-hard Bruin football fan. It makes wins liek 13-9 that much sweeter though…

Big proponent of public education,
so obviously there’s nothing better than UCLA, but I’m right there with you.

Idea
Tomorrow he have open tryouts.

doesn't matter
unless the tryouts are for a new coaching staf

Old!
Right. But 2 UCLA degrees + 4 for wife and kids + one missed for an Army ROTC KIA.
True Bruin!
I have 2 as well + 1 CSU. Best investment ever.
