Chow story
For those that wondered, a story on how Norm Chow will influence UCLA's offense will run in Thursday's paper as a precursor to spring practice. Everyone I talked to about Chow and his influence used some form of the word "simplistic" in describing his style.
By the way, when I talked to Chow, I asked him if he ever thought he would be UCLA's offensive coordinator.
"Not in a million years,'' he said. "I could have spent the next few years walking on the beach since I had three years left on my contract (with the Tennessee Titans), and I had some opportunities with other (NFL) teams. But I wanted to be close to home after living away for so long."

About Inside UCLA
This is Brian Dohn's sixth season covering UCLA after spending 4 1/2 years covering the Dodgers for the Daily News and other Los Angeles Newspaper Group papers. He graduated from Rutgers, where the first college football game was played in 1869. Sure, the Scarlet Knights suffered for a long time, but now RU is doing what Jerseyans always thought was possible. Winning at Rutgers also proves winning is possible everywhere else in the nation, so underachieving coaches better be careful. Now, if only men's hoops can turn it around.
Chow going to ucla only validates the acute differences he had with Carroll, and how he now wants to stick it to his old boss.
