About to help chaperone over 100 junior high kids to DC for the week. It's going to be...interesting, to say the least. Report time is 1:30 am. I once had to chaperone a middle school camping trip. At one point I started thinking my day would be much more pleasant and tolerable if I was attacked by...

Definitely wouldn’t wish that pain on anyone. I’m not exactly looking forward to the thought that I might get one in the future.

MrBug708

Had a kidney stone last week. Definitely do not recommend. Felt like someone shot me through my lower abdomen/groin. Spent about 3 hours in the ER throwing up from the pain. Luckily I was able to pass it.

Wonder if he would have reached a final four like Mick did or he would have still felt burnt out. He was basically taking the job until that lifetime contract offer came in

If you are looking for a good PF, Eric Dailey is a hell of a player. Transferring from Okie State.

MrBug708

Sounds like they won't have a city affiliation, which is dumb since they could easily use California or Golden State (Sunshine) if they wanted to.

MrBug708

After lessons learned in the Euro chase, Mick Cronin lands Skyy Clark and Kobe Johnson in the transfer portal. Dominic Harris is likely to join them in the coming days. Ilane Fibleuil and Will McClendon have both entered the transfer portal from UCLA's side thus far. That's a pretty good influx of t...

MrBug708

Dinelson Lamet, closing out games for the Dodger, just like we expected.

MrBug708

Myles Rice from Wazzu entered. Is he going to be the best PG available? Seems like their whole team is bailing - Rice, Jakimovski, Chinyelu. And of course their coach. Great step-up - Wazzu to Stanford!! Stanford has taken two transfers in fifteen years and both were grad transfers. Not sure they a...

MrBug708

Very nice start for the team.

MrBug708

That buyout has eliminated most teams from even considering him including Louisville. You can get the highest level coach for 2 years for that kind of money. I'm happy you are stuck with him for at least 2 more years and by then you will probably be willing to wave the buyout. Unlike others I think...

Arizona fan trolling Arizona fans.

Mick probably on the list for Louisville, but I doubt he leaves for that job right now. They probably can pay more and have more NIL, but that's about it.

MrBug708

USC Is the only game to consistently sell out at Pauley, which is a shame it's not more teams. Hell, Arizona's basketball team can't even make it to the arena on time :D But I can't see 8000 Michigan State fans flying out to Pauley for random Wednesday basketball game. it's LA. the B1G schools have...

MrBug708

UCLA may have written their own death sentence by joining the B1G for $$$$$. How are recruits going to react in coming years when the attendance at Pauley is 8000 Michigan State fans (or insert any other B1G name here) and 3000 UCLA fans??? I can't see any top players wanting to go there.......espe...

MrBug708

Oof. Glad I didn't watch a second. But maybe I'll go watch the game Saturday with my kid!

MrBug708

Who are you kidding??? All of these Pac12 refs DESPERATELY want to become B1G refs. The alternative will be reffing WCC/MWC games. The financial hit would be brutal. Personally, I want to play anyone outside of UO/UW/UCLA/USC in the P12 tournament. The thought of future employement will certainly b...

MrBug708

I wonder if the PAC-2 has a personal stake in ensuring WSU wins the conference this year?

MrBug708

I can’t imagine any quality guys choosing to transfer in the portal to play for Cronin. That added to moving to much better competition in the Big 10…. UCLA is going to have a much worse year next year with f they keep him The guys that play for him love him. They usually cite a close knit, family ...

MrBug708

Just to clarify, my intention about players auditioning is assuming a mass exodus to the transfer portal to shop themselves around, not particularly a new UCLA coach. Didn't realize UCLA was dumb enough to give him such a big contract. Considering how other teams and sports are treated, it's kind o...

MrBug708

I imagine this thread will go on for a very long time and hopefully Bug still stops by. I'll still stick around. What other purpose will RC97 have other than to give me neg rep and try to extract positive rep from everyone else by whoring out his own positive rep to every single person in hopes of ...

MrBug708

Did Mick really get T'd up 20 seconds into the game? 4 fouls were called in the first 20 seconds. Hope the Bruins liked the refs because they are from their new conference. Did UCLA get moved to the B12 and I missed it? They primary work the Big-12, but refs aren't assigned conference, they often w...

MrBug708

3 point defense is getting thrashed.

MrBug708

Ok, so to be fair, pre USC they won 6 of the last 7. They were 14-12 overall. They have us and Wazzu on the schedule, two more quad 1 games in their remaining 5. If they would have won out, including vs USC, they could have gone into pac 12 tourney at 19-12, win 2 more and lose to us or Wazzu in th...

MrBug708

I’m truly going to miss this angry midget who never takes responsibility or the blame for anything. https://twitter.com/latbbolch/status/1761634715449303286 Quick follow up question there Mick… uh, who is responsible for the players practicing the right way? Surely it isn’t the guy being paid milli...

MrBug708

When DG retired at UCLA, she was the favorite. Nobody really wanted her at UCLA and UNLV fans were pleading for us to take her. I have no idea if she worked out at Missouri or her path from UNLV to Missouri was successful or not, but UCLA's hiring of Jarmond during COVID didn't work out too well in ...

MrBug708

Brutal finish for UCLA. The Mack ejection hurts most of all, but I guess Vegas knew we'd struggle in this game.

Tony Padilla can EaD. Oh Hi RC97!

MrBug708

Yikes. This hire is to keep kids from going to the portal, but he doesnt recruit and isn't a dynamic personality to raise NIL

MrBug708

Big names? What? Lol

The fans generally want Tony White with a smaller group wanting Tommy Rees. Those are the two fan favorites.

MrBug708

lol…are the uw boards in fire? Nah, they're in the denial phase. Jedd isn't going to get the job, it'll cost UCLA too much to make it happen, but he'll interview for every job opening with a pulse from this point on and UW fans will have to learn to accept it. Schools don't pay buyouts, boosters so...

MrBug708

I think there was skepticism that Kelly would get another job

MrBug708

UCLA has a pretty depleted roster and while I won't say they won't lose anyone, everyone is pretty much in the two deep. If they aren't, you don't want them and what limited NIL money is probably going to the good players as is. As for coaches, who knows. The floor seems like DC Tony White. It's no...

MrBug708

His biggest connection is to UCLA but if we really wanted him, his buyout at SJSU and Kelly's buyout is about the same as what we would have to pay at Arizona.

MrBug708

He has long wanted the job but I don't want him near the UCLA job. I would rather just kick the tires on Tom Herman

MrBug708

Lot of smoke with Fleck but there are a lot of red flags going off with him. I think money is less of an issue than a coach wanting to leave in February with no portal help but UCLA vulnerable to portal pickoffs. People think Fleck is trying to escape the firing line in a year or two. Maybe Tony Whi...

MrBug708

After 2024 they should be able to offer the starting QB spot to any transfer QB spot they want. I suspect Garbers will finish this up coming season as a senior and NIL will kick in money for someone elite to come back home.

Wish he would have played one more year, but can't fault a guy for chasing his dreams.

MrBug708

Lazar, Mack, Andrews, and Bona seems to have figured things out together. Really need to get a top 4 finish in the P12 to avoid 4 games in 4 days.

MrBug708

The top end of NFL coordinators make 4+ million and he can probably stretch out his career. If he's fired after this year, that's probably it for his football coaching days. I don't think he wants to live out his days not coaching but wants to run an offense

MrBug708

Team seems to be gelling at the right time. Probably too late for an at large though

MrBug708

I think he took the UCLA job because of the lack of pressure and he thought he could scheme and develop his way back to the NFL. It hasn't worked and he's likely to be fired this upcoming season. He won't work as a NFL QB coach, so it's a last ditch effort to get back to the NFL. Wasserman went in w...
