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.
You could tell who the bruins were at the game last night, even without their identifying marks-- you know, full of attitude and negativity, and in the end blow-hardedness. Winning with dignity is not a bruins' trademark.
Add to that 'hypocrisy.' There was at least an element of intention regarding the blow to Hackett. And no matter how hard Hackett plays he does not throw head blows. He did not deserve that and everyone in attendance agreed, including the bruins except for a few hard-headed ones.
ONLYTHESPOOF
onlythespoof.. your to funny. I said the same thing after the football game! USC has no dignity, Pete is such a blow-hard.. bla...bla.... Get used to it, THIS is UCLA's time of the year! Just a FYI... HACK-IT is a hack.. OJ Payo even knocked him out last year!
Regarding the tragic "elbowing incident", the commentators said it best last night - Much ado about nothing.
But whats with the constant scowling from Hackett and Gibson. Those guys seem perpetually P.O.'d
Howland said Dragovic would remain the starter heading into Thursday's game against Arizona State.
Brian, you mean Arizona right?
