Labor Day Live Blog Open Thread II (The Sarah Palin / Rick Neuheisal Era Thread)

Fresh off the success of his Labor Day Live Blog Open Thread I, Avinash is back.  But he's not alone!  Many of our finest readers (and Goldblooded) are in there, live-blogging away.  The first thread is a hilarious recap of the madcap antics that were Fresno State-Rutgers.  And if anything screams madcap antics, it is DEFINITELY the UCLA offense.  So, get in there and live-blog your ass off!

Lou Holtz has looked at how UCLA wears their socks and has concluded they have discipline. Seriously. Perhaps he missed the Seattles Times five part expose on Neuheisel’s disciplined Washington squads.

It’s in West San Jose, near Cupertino. if you’re coming off 85 take the De Anza exit, head south to Prospect and turn left on Miller. On the corner of Miller and Bollinger. Fantastic thin crust pizza. My personal favorite is the Cicero’s special (pepperoni, mushrooms, olives, salami).

I agree. Maybe 23 in the AP poll and 25 or unranked in the USA Today poll. I think we got really good press from the Mich. St. win so we could be slightly higher.

Funny

You know, I was thinking two things:

1) I feel kind of sorry for that Craft kid – sort of like leaving a goaltender in a hockey game after he’s already given up 6 goals before the 2nd is done.

2) If Dorrell had made some of the choices the Fucla coaches have on offense, wouldn’t the babybruins nation folks be apoplectic with rage? Instead, I guess they’re just making every excuse possible for “CRN” since he is the fair-haired child. Funny how one guy can be a moron for choosing a pass with less than a minute with a QB who is shaken, but the other guy is given every benefit of every doubt.

Yeeee-Haaaaaw, Rockytop!

Jeez.

I can’t believe that UT isn’t winning by 3 touchdowns after 3 INTs. You’d think Craft would learn not to throw the ball into triple coverage after the 2nd INT, and that Neuheisel wouldn’t ask him to throw the ball at the end of the half instead of just going into halftime with a tie. Awful coaching on those last 30 seconds of the half.

Expanding the Pac-10

I always see on sites like Deadspin and The Big Lead people complaining about how the Pac-10 should expand to 12 teams and add Boise St., Fresno St or maybe Hawaii. It’s completely ridiculous because none of those schools have the academic requirements to enter the conference. With the exception of I think Oregon St., the 9 other Pac-10 teams are all ranked in the US News top 100 universities.
