give me some salt & pepper & tabasco sauce
Alright. Give me some salt & pepper & tabasco sauce so that I eat every word that I published on Friday. For the past 6-7 years of being burned, I've been cautious, distancing myself from Bruin Football & Basketball, and just when I stick my neck out, I get run over by a freight truck going 100 mph. Boy, was that painful.
Did the Bruins go to a different game in a different state? Did they not know that in order to have a chance at beating USC, they needed to show up to the game?
I mean, I expected the Trojans to score a lot of touchdowns, that was no surprise to me, but where was the Bruin's offense? Where was the the team that was 5th in scoring points this year? Everything that could have gone wrong, went wrong for the Bruins. And this I can say for sure, Dorrell did had a "successful" season, but he is no where close to being a contending coach, much less a coach sought after by the NFL.
I'll end with a shout out to those Bruin fans who stuck it out, in the cold, on the those top bleachers cheering for the last touchdown when the rest of the bruin fans had crawled out of the stadium. They were pathetic and it might have been the beer, but hey, you gotta give them props for facing the humiliation with gusto.

Yeah. Not the blue and gold's finest moment.
Ok, fine, I'll cop. No one's beating the Trojans this year. I was pissed at them early in the season, because I thought they were hella cocky, and that might bite them in the butt some saturday. And then, every single time, they blew their opponents away after halftime. I'm not such a big college football fan (curse of growing up in large northeastern cities with no good college squads), but this is the best O line I can remember. National champs, no doubt about it.
As for the Bruins, tough end to one of the better years in recent memory. California state athletics just haven't recovered from the budget crises of the nineties, when college counselors warned me against attending Berkeley because I might, gulp, need five years to finish. Oh, OK, because FOUR freezing cold years in Boston was such a winner of an idea. Anyway, thus ends my personal sorrow at not arriving in my now and forever home state until the age of 23. Aside from destroying the final four field in '95, we haven't heard much from the bruins, or from the bears either (not to mention the gauchos, matadors, anteaters, banana slugs, etc.) In the same time period, other state schools have surpassed us in big sport athletics, u of oregon being the most prominent example. It's a little sad, but I'd send my kid to ucla over just about any state school in the country, and that's what counts, no? No? Oh well.
