I Miss College Football

Semi-pro ball just isn’t the same.

My Cougie friends are homeless and Deion Sanders has turned over the Colorado roster of “student-athletes”. Neon Deion also got mad at some of his new “student-athletes” for not fighting during practice. Asked about the importance of team culture, he said:

“‘I’m not welcoming to that word, culture. That’s all I heard when I was in Jackson. Culture, culture, culture, culture, culture. Now culture, culture. What the heck does that mean?’

In this context, it was defined for the Pro Football Hall of Famer as creating an environment to become a good football team. For example, what little things do the players have to do every day to maximize their potential?

‘I don’t think you got to have unity whatsoever. You got to have good players.'”

Now let’s debate which is most important, fruits or vegetables, air or water, minor or major sports. The best teams create winning environments and have good players.

No promises, but this fall I will try to keep it together watching my Bruins in their final Pac-12 season. My UCLA football dream is that someday, in my lifetime, they draw as many fans as Nebraska women’s volleyball.

Semi-Pro Sports Realign

From the Pac-12. . . Final Draft.

While we are extremely surprised and disappointed by the news coming out of UCLA and USC today, we have a long and storied history in athletics, academics, and leadership in supporting student-athletes that we’re confident will continue to thrive and grow into the future. The Pac-12 is home to many of the world’s best universities, athletic programs and alumni, representing one of the most dynamic regions in the United States. We’ve long been known as the Conference of Champions, and we’re unwavering in our commitment to extend that title. We will continue to develop new and innovative programs that directly benefit our member institutions, and we look forward to partnering with current and potential members to pioneer the future of college athletics together.

From the PAC-12. . . Initial Draft.

While we are extremely surprised and disappointed by the news coming out of UCLA and USC today, we have a long and storied history in athletics, academics, and leadership in supporting student-athletes that we’re confident will continue to thrive and grow into the future. Let’s keep it real though. UCLA never could tackle. On the other hand, we acknowledge we may never recover from the loss of USC’s cheerleaders. We’ve long been known as the Conference of Champions, and we’re confident that when we complete negotiations with Azusa Pacific and Biola, God will bless us with many, many more. Until then, remember Easterners, you can always find us playing at 1a.m. on Fox Sports.

Stop The Steal

I hereby declare UCLA’s football team won Saturday. If you read what the Constitution says about college football, you’ll learn the Lamestream Media has no business calling a winner. I will be filing a lawsuit against the PAC-12 to recount the score, and if deemed necessary, replay the game. We scored the most points of any team ever against Colorado. Then, mysteriously, a bunch of points started appearing for the Buffaloes. And it’s not fair that some of the game officials were wearing Colorado masks! None of our team managers were allowed to watch the scorekeeper enter the scores either. What’s at stake? Just the whole integrity of the Conference. We will never concede.
