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...

Chip read the room, looked at his roster management and realized he messed up big time and is looking to get out before he's fired this next season. He could have prevented it but donor engagement and recruiting are things he does not actively like doing and in this world it's career suicide in coll...

Can we delete this thread yet? Or just rename it “Idiot Central”?

Can we delete this thread yet? Or just rename it “Idiot Central”? Whenever it gets bad for UCLA, UCLA usually recovers and makes a Final Four. I don't want to miss all the fun things you have said over the years RC! Same with the memes about you! Besides, you have boycotted this thread and ignored ...

Thanks for the encouragement. "Luckily" mine is a pretty high survival rate. Stage 1 is 99% through 5 years. Mine was caught so early it was barely stage 1, but waiting for the results from the doctors is always nerve-wracking. Maybe one day UCLA football will be good. For now, I'll settle for the D...

Latest check, cancer free. Coming up on almost two years

MrBug708

Ah, got it. It was just an Op-ed. Thank you.

MrBug708

So in your mind, if he leaves it is because he doesn't want to be here unless UCLA spends all of their .money to keep him here. Have I summed it up correctly? No chance he just stays and starts next season, just because? Just trying to nail down these goalposts.

MrBug708

Interesting, but it tracks. Peyton Watson would be playing 35 minutes a game on this team, but he entered a team where they returned a final four squad. Mack wouldn't get off the bench on that roster, so the comment makes sense when you understand why he said it when talking about it. Once conferenc...

Our NIL is nabbing us players from Div 3 John Hopkins right now.

MrBug708

Is this because he is unhappy about playing time?

MrBug708

The second half FT's and UCLA unable to rebound are the key points of the game. The timing of Mick's tech wasn't great, but sometimes you need to take on for your team. He's probably going to get fined in his post game presser! Win #2000 will have to wait for another day for the Bruins! Screaming “...

I won't miss playing refs here in this place, that's for sure. Lazar didn't even touch him haha

Press conference will again be entertaining at least

The comeback is on, ugh

MrBug708

Be gentle.

Most Bobby Hurley game ever.

MrBug708

Look, they blew us out. We got our ass kicked. They made every shot. They got on a roll. They’re just letting us shoot. They’re just giving us target practice. Sometimes the game is not that complicated. This result aside, we got no chance if we don’t get Adem playing better. I have got to get him ...

Those games happened in Maui already.

Would you take the over on 5 conference wins for UCLA at this point? They have lost to Cal at home already.

I think this is the first time in a while we've ever been lapped in a game. Maybe that UK game as well. Or the Maples Massacre.

I expect Arizona to put up 120

No way will Mick still be the coach by the time UCLA comes to Tucson. Our AD doesn't fire coaches. It's never been that way. We give them way too much time. We kept Alford four years after we were down 41-7 at half. Be that as it may, witnessing the demise of a coach and a program is painful. Since...

Sounds like the Bruinzone guy misread the quote, but it could have been a typo. UCLA has long been cheap, not sure why anyone would believe they suddenly became top dollar in the world of NIL. UCLA being cheap has nothing to do with players getting deals for their image and likeness. You think USC ...

MrBug708

It's a shame that Mick didn't "promise" RDW a starting spot because every spot was "earned". He would probably be playing 42 minutes a game with 30 shots at this point.

MrBug708

Blink and Stefanovic was on the bench? He played 36 minutes. Mick definitely prefers guys with experience or Americans, which makes his chase of Euros curious.

MrBug708

Hard to know which offense is more garbage, ours or Stanford's. Yikes.

He has a couple of other guys he could play. But other than Berke, who seems the most ready to play, he just can't bring himself to play them.

You need a shooter in the P12 otherwise you will drop games you shouldn't.

I love Yankee fans calling out the Dodgers. Are we the new Evil Empire? :lol: I think the old concern about top Japanese players "never having played in the Majors" has gone by the wayside. Yamamoto per scouts is much better than Ohtani, Maeda, Tanaka, Darvish, etc.. who all pitched well in majors....

MrBug708

Cronin was their 3rd choice for the job opening. It’s important to remember this fact as the last vestiges of Alford’s recruiting are now gone. What you’re seeing this year is full Mick Cronin basketball. But didn't Cronin recruit well at Cincinnati? Well enough to string together 25 and even 30 wi...

UCLA really is the Reds at this point lol

No shot at the tournament

MrBug708

Whelp. My son is a streak buster I guess haha

Here at the game with my 8 year old son. Here to see his first game!

MrBug708

This deal should be paid off to ownership by what, year 4? Fucking fantastic.

MrBug708

Rough game. Definitely going to be a season of development more than anything else. Just need to make the tournament and keep everyone for next year.

MrBug708

Heck yeah!

Pretty sure he wants to start, not sit on the bench. He should drop to the MAC or MWC, but he'll probably money chase.

Brutal when your main donor doesn't see an issue.
