So I went to the UCLA/USC game last night, and I actually thought going in that we (the Bruins) had a decent shot to win, for the first time in about a dozen years. (UCLA actually won in 2006, but that was a huge upset, and I didn't go into that game with any expectations.) I probably based this more on the fact that USC's sucked lately than any decent play by my team. Also, I really wanted to win even more than usual because that arrogant ##### Lane Kiffin had been mouthing off in the newspapers all week long.
It was horrible. Just like all year, the UCLA offense had so many 3 and outs I lost count. The play calling, by Mr. Norm Chow, was so unoriginal, so uninventive, so pathetic, that it was nearly impossible to watch. The defense played well, only to watch the offense play so insipid and without heart or direction that they were probably frustrated as well. The worst was probably the final two drives- trailing 21-7 with under 7 minutes left, UCLA slowly drove the ball down the field, with absolutely no urgency, huddling up before every play, with seeming nonchalence, only to fail on a 4th down at the end of the drive having run a full 4 minutes off the clock. After USC had a long TD run to put the game out of reach 28-7, UCLA came back with a couple big plays and got a meaningless score with under 30 seconds left to make in 28-14. And when they got that last toudchdown, there was Rick Neuheisel high-fiving guys on the sideline, celebrating as if this was the victory score! Pathetic.
I am so sick of this. I am sick of Rick Neuheisel and his bull#### about how we're getting better. We're not getting better; we're getting worse. I am sick of Norm Chow and his big salary and his terrible play calling. I am sick of losing, especially to those evil bastards across town. I am sick of the fact that, with all of our supposed recruiting talent over the last several years, the only team in the Pac-10 we can count on beating every year is lowly Washington State. Every other team is better than the Bruins. We suck. End of vent.

I'd be more worried about why my basketball team was irrelevant.
UCLA is supposed to be a basketball school....oops.
