This Tennessee situation is fucking nuts.

Bruins01

Let me tell you from experience: a defensive-oriented man-to-man-only head coach talking about deploying a zone is NOT good development.

Bruins01

Ah. I wasn't counting preseason polls.

Or... maybe not his last game as a Bruin.

But definitely his last game at the Rose Bowl.

I actually don't think this is true, but I have no idea how to verify it.

Nope. I think Kentucky fell out from tenth or fifteenth a few years ago, the year they weren't very good and lost in the NIT.

Sumlin is going to fired after going 51-25 in his OOC and SEC career at A and M. Perhaps UCLA can pick him up once they finish fucking this up???

Haha fucking hell. Just kill me...

Fucking this up would be the most UCLA thing in history.

Bosy Billups' comments on this make my skin crawl, but not nearly as much as Dick Vitale's do. What an embarrassment that guy is. Whom does he think he is fooling?

Bruins01

We all knew it, even, I suspect, the idiots who clutched their pearls while claiming that only Arizona (or UCLA, in BRO's case) would never cheat. What should bother everyone is that due to deeply stupid NCAA amateurism rules, paying players has to be done in the dark, where the athletes can only b...

Certainly didn't know $150k was the going rate for a star player. I suspect others didn't either or they wouldn't have mocked other schools when they were caught with what looks like low-level violations compared to $150k -- loans, plane tickets, etc. What was the point of calling other schools/coa...

You're right, I mixed up the 2024 trajectory with the 2045 trajectory...

Bruins01

There is another eclipse in 2024 that will follow virtually the exact same trajectory but a few hundred miles south of today's, again not close to Arizona (or Los Angeles). After that... there won't be another eclipse in the US until 2052.

Anyone ever tried Umami Burger? There's one in the international terminal at LAX. Umami started a bit of a craze here in LA but was quickly surpassed by superior options (in my opinion). It's still hanging around and still perfectly good, though. I gave Five Guys in Westwood another a third chance ...

Bruins01

Teams A, B, and C are UCLA, Arizona, and Oregon respectively. I think Oregon has locked in a 2 seed already assuming it doesn't somehow lose before the final in the tournament. The winner of UCLA-Arizona would also guarantee itself a 2, and if UCLA beats Arizona and Oregon, somehow, I think UCLA wou...

Bruins01

Haha. I don't know why you guys are ascribing to me a whole bunch of arguments that I never made.

Bruins01

Ucla could have more losses with a balanced schedule. So your attitude and points are both poor. Besides Kentucky which was a great road win ucla has a trash ooc schedule and the committee sees that thus why they may not be a 1 seed even though they are the hottest pac12 team now. Haha. Maybe you'r...

Bruins01

Rationally, here's the reason for the standings. Oregon is #1 because they had one misstep vs a member of the non-power three in the Pac , but are 2-1 vs the other big 3. Arizona is #2 because they're only 1-2 vs the other big 3 members, but have no L's to the lower teams. UCLA is #3 because they'r...

Is it really not possible to have a substantive conversation without childishness from Arizona fans? I don't even know what I said in this thread that could possibly have offended anybody.

No way. Lonzo is the best player to play in college since Anthony Davis.

UCLA rarely gets out to big early leads against good teams because of its terrible defense. It feels like everyone is making every shot, until you look up at the scoreboard halfway through the second half and suddenly it's 80-60. With Arizona, it's pretty much the opposite. Arizona plays great defen...

He was an incredible college basketball player, and also completely right on that lawsuit, which is why college sports games went away.

The Westbrook vs. Bayless arguments we used to have at TOS are some of my fondest memories of that place. You guys are crazy and irrational, in an interesting way.

A 6 is just about the halfway point from the bubble and being the #1 seed. So we can be as excited about that West #1 as we are concerned about the bubble... As a 6, we'd be playing against a bubble team...as the 6 in a 6/11... Well, to be completely fair, it's a hell of a lot easier to tumble down...

Haha. A 6 seed is nowhere close to the bubble. You are, as usual, being ridiculous.

I have to think that BC97 does this shit every year for superstitious reasons or something.

Don't know whom the hell you could be talking about. Bug and I have almost four thousand posts here between us and we are the only ones.

Bruins01

What?

By the way I'm pretty sure Lonzo is going to be a top 5 pick. What a player. I don't think you would find any coach in the conference who would take Fultz or anyone else over him.

I can't wait until a kid says he stays because players are properly compensated. You have to keep that sort of thing quiet. No wonder UCLA football isn't SEC level. Ha, it's funny you say that.

I don't see how UCLA keeps pace against Kentucky. Also don't know why the hell we are tipping off so goddamn early. If the spread is less than 10 or 12 then UK is a good bet.

Ball is, by a considerable margin even, the best player in the conference. But I truly doubt UCLA as a team is good enough to win the Pac-12.

My entire point is that you and a lot of pundits and UCLA fans are seriously underestimating how much of a problem Bryce is. I do honestly think that Bryce getting 30 minutes per game is the difference between UCLA being a top 10 team and conference championship contender (if fully healthy) and bein...

He's good. The injuries and eligibility issues at AZ and OR have aligned perfectly for UCLA, so barring something unexpected, they have to be the favorite in the Pac this year. It would be hard to mess up that team, even for Alford. Did they bench Bryce? And then move him to the end of the bench? A...
