UCLA is Dominated by USC - TAKE ACTION, DEMAND CHANGE IN THE MORGAN CENTER

Usually I try to start the post game recaps with a witty line encapsulating the game experience. Here it is.
That sucked.
And that's putting it mildly.
I also put in the post game recaps what happened during the game. Here we go...
UCLA kicks off. USC scores on four plays.
We get the ball, we get all the way to the one. On fourth down, we ACTUALLY go for it, but of course run up the middle and we're stuffed. Quel surprise.
SC scores.
We can't catch a ball to save our lives, but Jeff Locke has a nice punt.
SC scores again and goes for two. Of course they make it.
SC scores. repeat x number of times, as I am writing this before the game ends. Right now the score is 50-0. (It ends at 50-0.)
Coming into this game, there was one main thing: stop Lee and Woods of SC. I mean, they're only the leading receivers in the Pac-12 right? Unfortunately our secondary just cannot stop these two. We can't get effective pressure on Barkley, and he has all day to throw passes. It's just... sad. USC steamrolled us tonight, and there's nothing that can be said that spins the game in a positive light.
We were blitzed from the beginning. UCLA came out unprepared, undisciplined, unfocused, uneverything. Remember a few weeks ago, after the Arizona game, when I said that that game was embarrassing to the word embarrassing? This is a million times worse. It was shameful. And there are a few people we can pin the blame squarely on.
1a. Dan Guerrero
1b. Rick Neuheisel
Are you tired of UCLA coming out for big games flat, unprepared, and completely steamrolled by the other team? And it's not just football, it's basketball also.
We need one thing at UCLA: REGIME CHANGE. Dan Guerrero and Rick Neuheisel must go. Dan Guerrero cannot be permitted to hire another football coach, or we are going to set this program back another five to ten years.
As noted in the second half thread, let's leave this out there:
2002: 21-52 (wasn't that close)
2003: 22-47
2004: 24-29
2005: 19-66
2006: 13-9*
2007: 7-24
2008: 7-28
2009: 7-28
2010: 14-28
2011: 0-50
Throw in 2001, which was the LAST TIME I attended a game at the Masoleum, and I left in the third quarter because we were being shut out, I had to catch the buses back to the dorms, and everyone was really drunk all around me.
Games like this shouldn't happen. It has happened a few too many times this year. Arizona is the prime example.
The Trogans are dancing and celebrating on their sideline as they squish us in excitement. Matt Barkley is being heralded as the latest messiah. This is their "bowl game" since they're sanctioned cheating jerks (I had a stronger word, but I'll keep it clean for now) and we couldn't get up for a rivalry game? When we have an even bigger game next week, where Oregon shows absolutely no mercy and will keep their foot on the gas pedal every single play?
Someone, have mercy on our souls. Have Rick resign, have Dan be shown the door at the Morgan center. SOMETHING to show the UCLA fanbase that they are not disconnected from what the fans (and importantly the donors) want - relevancy and a commitment to the phrase "Champions made here." Not mediocrity.
I don't blame the players, and I don't want it to come off as anything wrong with the players. They play as hard as they can, but their effort is also dictated by the efforts of those above them - the coaching staff. If there is a commitment to "meh" football, we're going to get "meh" results.
Call the Chancellor: 1-310-825-2151
Send him an email: chancellor@ucla.edu.
Show the Morgan Center you WILL NOT ACCEPT THESE RESULTS.
Oh, and by the way, we have a game on Friday. I can't wait.

I feel pity for you east coasters
who are up even later than I. Off to bed…my dreams will be about firing up BN in the morning and reading about Neuheisel’s immediate resignation.
Roses are red, violets are blue...f*** $C.
If something doesn't happen
Kenny Easley and Tom Ramsey and Theotis Brown and all the other UCLA greats will be just a hazy memory for us as we grow older and, for sanity and practicalities sake, lose interest in what was formerly known as “UCLA FOOTBALL”.
CRN and DG should resign.
Tonight.
But bureaucrat Donut Dan will hide behind Blockhead’s indifference and quietly give himself another raise.
It's annoying because people will still buy season tickets
merchandise will still sell, students will still go to games, and the athletic department will think, “Dang, we can pay our coach 1 million a year, lose to our rival 12 times in the last 13 years, and still earn money because the same stupid 50,000 people will support us no matter what LOLLLLLLL. Make money, don’t work hard. Life is good.”
Agree totally...that is why I am sending back by tickets for the Texas game...
ALL UCLA SPORTS SHOULD BE BOYCOT…
If it means anything to you
I stopped donating to the Wooden Fund last year. (Don’t have season tickets anymore since I’m not in LA.)
Sent the AD’s office a letter – polite, to the point, but effectively saying UCLA doesn’t accept mediocrity in the classroom, and it shouldn’t be settling for it on the football field. I’m sure there’s more of me out there.
Hate not donating since my family’s been doing it for years but I’m not going to support incompetence.

Absolutely shameful
Pathetic coaching and another gutless, uninpiring, and underachieving performance by the team in general. Sick to my stomach over this one. Neu should fall on the sword for the good of the program and out DG on his way to the door. Absolutely sickening.
Better paid (under the table) team won!
If you think that the best athletes go ton USC for nothing .. think again!
Guess the new white jerseys did not work out so well..
..maybe Rick and the crew (coaches, towel boys and managers — not the players) should make a big pile of ’em and burn ’em on the 50-yard line.
What absolute pretentiousness from a second-class organization! (I refer to the management in the Morgan Center, of course.)
Rivalry
.. is over. You can’t be a rival if you get your ass handed to you year in and year out. We are USC’s play thing. We need to renew the rivalry and only good leadership can do it. Otherwise we are just their bitches.
that's what i feel
like our coach has our team playing like bitches
JJ Stokes just spoke about how well coached Trogans were...

Shouldn’t talk if you aren’t going to coach well enough to back it up.

There may not have been any Bruins actually playing, but I think I saw some UCLA guys on the sideline. Though they were wearing some weird surrender white uniforms, not Bruin Blue, so maybe you are right.

JJ Stokes doing the post-game with John Robinson
I’m impressed that he’s not pissed off throwing shit around
but at least we're closing the gap
I like that Rick is a true Bruin and all, but I still want to kick him in the nuts.
Theoretically Kiffin rubbing our noses in the shit should be a good thing in that it should piss off the athletic department and chancellor enough to get serious about doing something about it. But we all know that Guerrero is incompetent and Block is weak so I hold no hope of it changing any time soon. Depressing.

Oh I have a rule
Every coach that UCLA hires has to sign on to one stipulation. You lose by 50 to USC then the AD and the head coach must go and you lose the remainder of your contract and any stipulations that would compensate you for your early firing.
Now we got a bunch of trogans feeling bad for us...
i am heartbroken…
It Starts at the Top
This loss rest squarely on Chancellor Blocks shoulders. He runs the whole university and It is his responsibility that the whole university is run at a national level. So Chancellor Block what are you going to do about this?
Rick, please resign now. You are NOT the coach for this program.
Dan, do you care about your alma mater?
son of a bitch
what an amateur organization this team has become. that was a fucking usc track meet. Marqise Lee and Robert Woods were just doing line drills between the end zones. Rick is a fucking pathetic coach. Instead of all the rah-rah, closing the gap bullshit during this week, he should have shut his trap and done some coaching. Maybe he wouldn’t look like a giant asshole right now. He should not be allowed to coach next week. Dan should be fired ASAP. Look at Ohio State, those fuckers don’t sit on their hands. They have an off year, and to make sure it never happens again, they hire Urban Meyer. Its because they give a shit. We don’t. We don’t deserve to be a D1 team. We played like a High School JV team tonight. Its hard to believe that this used to be a rivalry. We look more like UVa and Virginia Tech. This is NOT a rivalry. Dan has made sure that every UCLA student hangs their head in SHAME during the first week of December.

Yeah, you are right
Chianti Dan and his band of minions don’t have the shame to keep quiet.

An idea
want to send a message to the clowns running this thing. If they are still in place next year don’t even protect the Bruin mascot. Let USC take a dump on campus all over that thing. Just give in to show what it feels like when you allow them to have a coaching staff that rolls out that product. Nothing would make headlines or send a high profile political message more than that. The local media would eat it up. Hell leave an invitation on the thing saying please defile us some more.

No reason for RN to stay
worst loss to ‘SC in 81 years, 0-4 during Rick’s tenure, no “gap” closing in spite of sanctions. No effort in spite of a gift into the Pac 12 championship game. No decent Defense Coordinator, for which RN must take the blame. No offense adjustments to counter excellent SC defense. 19 underclassmen and juniors led by Lame Kiffin beat an experienced Bruin squad 50-0! What other rationale do you need to remove RN and DG?
it was followed by the tweet
UCLA demolished by SUC 50-0
I regret going to the game

Also, this is what happens
When you hire football coaches of any sort from the Big East. The Big East wouldn’t know football if it hit them square in the face.
From that article:
As to whether getting to the Rose Bowl would be enough to save Neuheisel’s job, Guerrero said, “That we’re preparing to play for the Rose Bowl should be exciting to all Bruin fans.”
WHO’S EXCITED?!!!?!!
Because Leach won't hesitate to call Dan an idiot

THANKS RICK
for pointing out the obvious. ass halt.
Rick's empty coachspeak disappoints me.
How about: their coaching is a huge gap between ours. I’d like to apologize to my fellow Bruins and announce my resignation.
Instead we’ll get more of the same “coach harder, look at the film, and clean up the mistakes” drivel.
just got home from the game
the gaps were closed. no where to run. 6-8 is looking more and more likely. 96000+ ppl at sucs bowl game for the year. it was a rough night. i (naively) had high expectations until i was driving towards the colliseum. the unfortunate reality set in – this was sucs last game and kitten wanted to give barkley more heisman cred. the way i saw it, the 3rd and 4th quarter were extra reps for the oregon game. i don’t wanna think about what happens next…
BUT GUYS
What if we win the PAC 12 Championship? SURELY you can’t call for Neuheisel’s job!! We ALWAYS win after losing one, so we’re definitely gonna win against Oregon!! THE SEASON’S NOT OVER YET!
EXACTLY,
ONE GAME AT A TIME GUYS, throw all those 0’s out the door, tomorrow is a brand new day!
I'm not willing to give
the players a break in this mess! This was the big game against the hated ones and they rolled over! CRN needs to be gone but how bout making a play? CLEAN HOUSE!

I am so tired of hearing about how Rn is a lousy coach but still a Bruin...If
he gave a damn about his alma mater he would announce his resignation for the good of the program. Instead, we will hear about how he has closed the gap, is the right man for the program. we were just out of rhythm..blah…blah…blah.

If he coulda, he woulda by now.

Since Jr. High, he aspired to get into position to serve them waters to Matt Barkley, a dream that he has finally, finally fulfilled tonight

The pleasure Bruin fans will never experience on their rival. Only trojans. LUCKY!!
resign now
Whatever we do, we definitely need to play prince next week. where are all my prince enthusiasts after his great game against the 116 ranked defense colorado. If Neuheisel had any class he would quit and apologize for trying as hard as he could, but just not delivering any results.

My daughter at UCLA says fes been fired on Twitter.

Blockhead has to fire DG, too, so he does not blow it a third time in a row.
yeah thats all the talk
pretty obvious that hes gonna be fired after this, well should be obvious, you never know with Donut Dan..
yup DG has to go too
no way can he hire another coach. He’s clueless
from LAT:
We have had many bright spots and have played inconsistently as well," Guerrero said. “We’ll wait until the end of the season and decide where to go from there.”
When Neuheisel was asked what it would take for him to keep his job, he said, “I have no idea. All I’m trying to do is my best.”
Dan: "All I'm trying to do is my best", at forcing Rick to keep his job
Rick: “all I’m trying to do is my best, to make you try your best to force me to keep my job”
Dan: “all I’m trying to do is my best to make sure you try your best to make me do my best at keeping you forced to keep your job”
Rick: “WELL all I’M trying to do is my best to make you do your best at making me do my best at making you do your best at forcing me to keep my job, you know what I’m saying?”
Prince/QB Situation
The fact that Prince has such a stranglehold on the QB position…let alone is the starter…let alone got all the reps tonight is simply mind-blowing…but in reality is just a symptom of the problem.
Where did the myth that Rick is a smart guy come from? Absolutely terrible.
Agreed
Prince is a HORRIBLE QB and if Rick had any sense he would have had Brehaut as his starter all along. Let’s just hope that whoever is chosen to rectify this disaster next year has Brehaut as the starter and Hundley as the change up like Florida did in 2006.

Embarrassment
Bad teams are often embarrassed by their game results, and every conference has a bad team or two, but this is the first time I can remember a team being an embarrassment to its conference. That was our South Division Champion out there. They will be out there again on Friday in the Pac 12’s first ever championship game! As I said, an embarrassment to the conference. Too bad it had to be the Bruins, but this did not seem out of character. This is like a nightmare.
To be fair
I think fielding a Utah that lost to Colorado, a ASU that lost to Arizona, or a UCLA to Utah / Arizona are pretty much all the same
Re: To be fair
Yeah that did occur to me too. You’re right, but it’s just too frustrating.
well
hopefully our new coach will drop 70 on suc next year at the rose bowl.
With DG as our AD, I assume
you mean 70 doughnuts…

As someone who had UCLA FB & BB ingrained into him from the age of 7 when my aunt took me to UCLA away games (and I later earned a degree from UCLA), I’m almost over UCLA Athletics…
What are we supposed to do? Give up on our alma mater?
It’s going to be a long painful process, but with BN as our collective voice of reason, we can move things our way. Witness students first and veto seto.
Yes. This is rock bottom.
I thought I’d already seen rock bottom with UCLA athletics. That is, until I saw the game tonight. Then I realized we’re truly at rock bottom with this entire athletic department.
-Fundraising is in the crapper.
-Attendance is in the crapper.
-7-5 would actually be a good year for this program.
-UCLA is sitting on a pile of money from the TV contract and it will probably all go towards lining Guerrerror’s pockets. And, of course, he’s earned it by managing UCLA athletics like a CEO (never mind the fact that he’s a CEO along the lines of Ken Lay or Dennis Kozlowski).
-We’ve just lost to the $Cumbags for 12 of the last 13 games.
I’ll say that last one again.
WE HAVE LOST TO $Cum FOR 12 OF THE LAST 13 GAMES.
This is no longer a rivalry. It’s an annual beating.
But really, the biggest reason that this is rock bottom is that there is a larger number of diehard fans who have truly just lost their way with UCLA athletics than I can recall from any year past. UCLA simply doesn’t have the time for a long and painful process. Becoming a winning program has been “in process” at UCLA for the last 13 years and has been horrifically unsuccessful.
I’ll always wish that UCLA made better moves with regard to management of the athletic department. But if the last 13 years have taught me anything, it’s that UCLA does not seem to care half as much about its football program as I do. And I don’t know what BN or any student movement can do to change that.

lets hope the one or two good players
we have wont transfer.
"Success is never final, Failure is never fatal. It's Courage that counts" - John Wooden.
My God, now we have to play Oregon,
whose goal will be to beat us worse than the Trogans did! And we’ll face the same thing — better, faster, stronger athletes led by a coaching staff that will go for the jugular, and then go for more, using a system that makes sense. I’m old, I’m depressed, I feel betrayed, etc . To puke, I’d have to feel better than I do. Leach? Why not? Guerrero must realize that he has to get this right if he has any chance to survive. Maybe, at long last, some sense of urgency will penetrate Morgan Center. Unfortunately, as you can tell, I don’t think Guerrero is vulnerable. Yet.

really?
so why do i feel like shit now and they are on cloud 9??
I don't care how they feel
They can suck a fart out of my a**hole for all I care. Yeah they beat us but they aren’t the pac-12 champs and for that matter they aren’t the champs in 2003. Moral of the story, don’t cheat.

If they cheated this time
They maybe would have put 100 on us. I’m not bitch enough to still whine about their cheating…. They brought it in all facets and won. With younger players who showed more heart. U win and ur a champ. thats how sports work. I give credit to them and am embarrassed for our “athletes”

Also SbB tweeted that
“according to Bryan” the shirts were Pat Haden’s idea.
And he’s supposed to be so classy. Riiiight.
You know what........
They deserve it, we certainly don’ t. Colorado did not do us any favors by beating Utah. We could’ve awoke tomorrow to the news that CRN had been fired, now we have to wait for a week. God only knows what will happen between now and then.
as J.R.R Tolkien said
"From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring; renenwed shall be blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king."
Le’ts get a coach that can make us relevant again.
In our story
are the trogans the orcs or the uruk hai?

Pretty chickenshit
Dan saves his own ass by firing Rick. I think they both should go.

Coaching!
look at our coaching staff, does anyone outside of westwood know who these guys are?
"Success is never final, Failure is never fatal. It's Courage that counts" - John Wooden.
Would anyone care?
Maybe the local Unemployment office…
nope
the fat short guy looks like he came from divsion 2 or JV program
They could get Jonah Hill to play his part in our own version of Moneyball.
Moneyball 2: The Chianti Dan Story. How I made 30 silver coins on my alma mater.
so, now the race begins to see who gets Mike Leach
UCLA or WSU????
or ASU more likely
I should be working right now...
I can't even look forward to basketball season this year.
We DO have a great golf team.

wut is so good about leach??
i hear all this talk…what is so good about him?
i dont see it. Lucky Ohio gets Urban!!!
We would never even offer Leach
No way, no how…not that I agree, but look who is the AD
Agreed
His antics wouldn’t play well in Westwood. I dig his fire but he may be a little over the top for UCLA’s liking.
by rsmbruinfan on Nov 26, 2011 11:33 PM PST up reply actions
BUT
with dorell at least we had a good defense. With Rick we have nothing
A decent defense that got shredded by spread O's
and when Walker left to take the NMSU job (or whatever position opened up) and Walker’s Lt. Bullough took over… Not much difference.
formerly bruinhoo
So, I know we've asked this about 10 times now:
But is this our 66-3 moment?
It sure feels like it.
And when I say "66-3" moment
I’m speaking as though in that instance, we were Texas, and not…uh…us.
that was my thought during the game
the only positive one I could think of
by bucknellbruin on Nov 26, 2011 11:37 PM PST up reply actions
we can outdo Cal and Davis
OCCUPY MORGAN CENTER
Ok, here is my offer to the board...
I will go on the Tuscany Tour with Doughnut Dan and ride his fat ass all day every day.
I will ask him question after question about our failing athletic department… I will make snarky comments… I will make snarky replies… and I’ll video tape every minute and upload it to youtube and post links… I don’t give a f*ck and I can be a professional grade asshole.
Since I refuse to give U.C.L.A. a nickle (my wife and I now give exclusively to our grad schools), we need 300 people to give $10 a piece.
To give all of you an incentive to donate, your donation buys you a question that I will ask Doughnut Dan. So make your donation to the “Make Guerrerror wish he was sleeping w/ the fishes” Tuscany Tour and I’ll video the asking of your question and the response.

Can you please rid us of Guerrero?

Has anyone heard from Karl Dorrell recently?
Wonder what he’s thinking about now…
Turned The Game Off At Halftime
Have NEVER done that before – EVER – in all my years of watching UCLA football.
This is just the worst. The a**-****ing worst.
Los Angeles Rams and the UCLA Bruins!!!!!
