Pitre done?
Senior fullback Michael Pitre is definitely out for Saturday and maybe much longer. He experienced swelling in his knee after limited action against Oregon State. As for whether the Bruins would shut him down for the remainder of the year, Dorrell said: ``I hope not, but I'm not encouraged at this point, given the limited number of reps and where he's at right now. He's disappointed. We'll try to get his swelling down first and see how he feels. It's unfortunate.''
Pitre already has used a redshirt year.

Could he be given a medical redshirt?

Is there some reason print articles appear under 2 and sometimes 3 different links to the same article on the LADN website?

Classify this under: Mysterious injuires during Sr Season. Btw, I like the new look of the DN's website.

1. trey brown and bruce davis are excellent student athletes, as are the other ucla football players and student athletes.
2.the same is true of the student athletes on the notre dame team.
3. this is in a stark contrast with that renegade football program at the university for spoiled children, south central, or steroids and cheaters that is a cancer in this fair city and in college football and basketball.
4. winning by cheating is always an easy out for those willing to do it that way, like usc.
it works until the teams and schools that do it get caught and punished.
5. recruit athletes and let them spend all of their time playing football or basketball with no real academic obligations, get out of jail for free cards, courtesy of la county da steve cooley, a usc grad.
6. having attended neither ucla or notre dame,but having deep ties to each school and great admiration for their integrity, i am looking foward to a fine college football game at the rose bowl on saturday, just as enjoyable as the 2006 game in south bend.
7. i hope that the team that plays the best wins and am sorry only that one of the teams will end up losing.
8. ucla certainly has the upper hand this year.
9. what mystifies me is the talk of hatred of notre dame by certain ucla players. sure, the notre dame players will play to win, but not because any of them hates anyone at ucla or does not admire ucla for playing all sports with integrity.
10. notre dame and ucla often meet in soccer and other sports. both teams play their best with integrity and the winning and losing players congratulate one another. they do not engage in trash talking or hate mongering since doing so violates the principles for which each school stands.
11. that was the case when the ucla and nd womens' national championship came down to ucla and notre dame in the finals a couple of years ago. the game was played well by both teams and ended in a tie in regulation and was won by notre dame with tiebraking penalty kicks.
12.there was not trash talking or hatred by either team, just the type of good clean competition which college sports are supposed to be about.
13. ucla is very likely to beat a very young notre same football team this saturday. why ruin the experience with trash talking or hate mongering? those are things that violate the very integrity and high standars for which both schools stand?
14. by the way, i was one of the people who got to the pac 10 last year and made certain that none of the crooked pac 10 refs that usc has in its pocket were at the ucla/usc game last year to step in and rescue pete carroll and his players from that magnificent 13-9 victory.
15. there was a lot of rejoicing at notre dame over that magnificant win by the bruins.
16. i just hate to see trash talking and hate mongering ruin a fine game on saturday. those things are completely inconsistent with everything that both ucla and notre dame stand for.
have a great day,
