Tone-deaf Guerrero Ignores UCLA Football in His Latest "Blog"

by Achilles on Nov 2, 2011 2:34 PM PDT

Dan Guerrero sent out his latest edition of "Word of Westwood" last night. The athletic department published it on their official site today. The weekly newsletter lamely labeled as a "blog" and then emailed to season ticket holders is once again a vanilla mix of boring, cheesy press releasy type of paragraphs, larded up with soul less bureaucratic jargon.

This week's newsletter stands out for one thing. Guerrero doesn't bother to address the state of the football program until the seventh paragraph. If one takes a quick look at it the person will most likely miss it as Guerrero raptures about our volleyball, soccer and water polo programs. That's nice. We appreciate our non-revenue programs as much as any other UCLA communities. We probably do more than any other to talk them up. But if Guerrero was competent and confident, he'd be leading with the topic that is currently dominating the conversation among Bruin alums and fans, who are interested in UCLA athletics.

As we have been saying over and over football drives everything. Don't take our word for it. As Nestor pointed over the weekend Coach Ben Howland, Larry Scott and other Pac-12 coaches agree with us. Everyone knows football is king except for Guerrero and his bureaucratic minions at Morgan Center, who keep sending out these lame newsletters talking them up as "blogs."

What's that word we are looking for again? Tone-deaf. Guerrero still doesn't have a clue and gives us a fresh example of why we need regime change in Westwood.

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.

Sickening....

1.) His sense of pride in our other sports programs that other schools are trying to emulate. This pride is shared by all of us in this community. If he has this much pride in the other programs, he should be absolutely embarrassed by the fact that we are irrelevant as a football program and resign so corrective measures can be made so that pride can be restored. The only reason why anyone is looking our direction in football is to avoid the same mistakes DG and RN have made.
2.) His softball of a question answered on getting to a basketball game. He has a nice platform to answer thousands of football questions and concerns on his time and he uses the Q and A section as advertising for a $16 fare.

Absolutely shameful Donut Dan,

Nicely done KS.

TD Dan

and I don’t mean “touchdown.”

Glad to see that the “blog” is progressing nicely. Another week, another softball question swatted aside; another week of avoiding talking about real problems; another week of polishing your own apple. Good week’s work, TD.

In honor of his accomplishments in modern blogging, I call for a TD Dan’s Blog spell-out:

Give me an “L”!
Give me an “A”!
Give me an “M”!
Give me an “E”!

What does that spell?!

I don’t see what the kitten has to do with this.

The So Called Blog? Don't Waste My Time!

I encourage very man, woman and child to scroll down to the bottom of that DG e-mail and click “unsubscribe”. It was the best thing I’ve done in the past 13 years of suffrage.

Wait, you've gained the right to vote in the lsat 13 years?

You should vote DG out then. ;)

Seriously, reading these “blogs” makes me happy I don’t receive these emails.
