Neuheisel's Magic Chopper Ride

Desperate times call for desperate measures

Apparently the intrepid and oh-so-gutty bruin head coach decided to draw a little attention to himself (and Ucla) by taking a helicopter ride out to see a potential recruit play a game.

The plan was for the chopper to hover about 25 feet above a baseball field adjacent to the game, and for Neu to leap out of the chopper, wearing a flight suit, carrying a banner reading "Mission Accompished: The Football Monopoly in LA is Officially Over!"

He'd then wrestle an alligator, save a kitten from a tree, and sing the national anthem while women threw their panties at him and grown men wept tears of gratitude.

Okay, maybe not an alligator.

The good news is this stunt wasn't paid for by our tax dollars (evidently some Ucla booster supplied the chopper). But how ridiculous is this whole thing? A chopper ride? Seriously?

Ah well ... I guess Ucla is a firm believer in the whole Hollywood thing about publicity stunts and all.

I'm just waiting for him to drive a tank into a game. I bet he'd look really super-cool in one of those helmets.

Pilot error...

HA HA HA, I read about this earlier. I give him an A for effort, certainly. But really now, what dummy doesn’t know that you can’t just go landing helicopters wherever you please? Silly Neuheisel….

Yeah, let him try to drive the latest M2 Abrams into a Cal game. The latest Russian anti-tank missile would waste his ass. Not that I would like that, as I think our latest haylon system would defeat the RPG. Needless to say, this fool has upped the recruiting wars by introducing vertical aerial platforms. He had no business doing that! If he wants to play that way, we’ll have Tedford flying to recruiting visits in an Apache! GO CAL!
