Unlikely scenario

i think favre will play

Great contribution Jill

When does Brian come back to work?

was this post serious? no seriously was it? my head hurts.

Even this post gets more responses than any of Wolf's on the $UC blog.

Just think - if Joe Cowan and Harwell sign with the Vikes as a free agent - Harwell might get to touch Favre in non-contact drills and Cowan could catch balls from the Great One.

If Justin Medlock gets signed to a tryout, he could kick FG's with the same ball used by Favre on the previous play.

Amen Tustin Dave. I have been getting so much work done lately I am setting a level of productivity I can't match when Dohn comes back.

Jill if you are thinking should I post it or shouldn't I? You shouldn't.

I was just thinking the same thing Dave, this has been a painful couple of weeks

Jill gave me your IP addresses, and I am going to find each one of you internet losers and kick the livin' cr@p out of you.

Hands down, the absolute worst post written in the history of this site. I want, no DEMAND my 10 seconds back that i wasted reading this dribble.

It took you ten seconds to read that?

When Brett Favre fails to lead the team to any first downs, Chris Kluwe will get to do more punting.

Who cares?

Unlikely Scenario #2......you ever filling in for Dohn again.

Thanks for the input, very informative post.

This blog deals in facts, not speculation.

WE WANT DOHN!
WE WANT DOHN!
WE WANT DOHN!

Will you jerks leave Jill alone. With all the other stuff she has to do she does not even have to do this Blog for you idiots.

Really fascinating. Some things are better left unsaid. No offense to Jill, but that has zero relevance.

LMAO...what kind of a post is that? I hate hypotheticals but if one is to propose one at least make it interesting. This post made me realize how much I miss Dohn.

What if Fran Tarkenton comes back and wins the starting QB spot-then Bell could take handoffs from him...or...or..what if Chuck Foreman...

Obviously there's no real news and there won't be for a long time so give her a break. Jerks.

Great this is totally relevant and we all didn't know this. BTW, Ben Olson probably has more mobility than old man Fart. The blog is now run by John Madden all on old man Favres shaft.

You guys are sick and missed her point. Think about it. How close we all are from knowing Larry Kroger and Kent Dorfman? They went to Favre College. SO they must know Brett Farve. If Khalil Bell gets to know Farve and we know Brian Dohn (well, kinda sorta) then how close we are to knowing Kent Dorfman. I am sure all of you are looking kida silly now that it has been explained to you.

What a bunch of total di*%'s! Jill does a fine job filling in. Who cares if she posts one hypothetical that you guys don't like. Losers.

ok,ok,ok, I never thought that I would be saying this, but when does Dohn comes back?????

Have any of you ever heard, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all? You all suck. I bet Dohn would be pissed at all of you for the way you have treated Jill. Just leave it alone if the quote doesn't have meaning to you. Don't piss of Dohn or maybe he looks for another beat to write for. Stop acting like elitist SUC Fans!

Why don't you do us all a favor and fall off that soapbox and break your neck? What a stupid post, if Harwell was still on the Redskins he could play with Horton again and since he would be in the NFL he could be Reggie White except from UCLA! OMGFOMGFZ!

The same idiots who bash are the ones that swear the entire staff is making a mistake not starting Andre Dean. Hey idiots, THERE IS NOTHING GOING ON RIGHT NOW WITH FOOTBALL AND BASKETBALL. This is why Dohn is on vacation.

poor Jill!

actually i doubt she really cares what these tools write here.

I wrote this earlier: LMAO...what kind of a post is that? I hate hypotheticals but if one is to propose one at least make it interesting. This post made me realize how much I miss Dohn.

My apologies Jill, that was kinda mean.

i think my earlier remark was rude. I apologize Jill.

Jill is a big girl, she can take care of herself. This is definitely the hardest I have laughed reading this blog. Jill post some more random thoughts, I need another laugh.

LMFAO! Jill is getting owned.

Jill, that post was so cute! "A" for effort.

Since no one else has said it, I will be the first. NEVER!

Jeez, what a tough cynical bunch we have here. Unless you are in the habit of biting a colleague's head off for engaging in small talk at the water cooler why don't you all give Jill a break on a slow news day? At least it wasn't some sad attempt at "creating news" like at the Wolf Suc blog.

Hey everyone, good idea trash-talking Jill in the comment section. This is why comment sections get disabled. Cut her some slack. Brian has his job and Jill has hers, so there is no reason to expect her to be Dohn. She's doing fine - stop whining.

^^^^
So true. I need that five seconds of my life back.

Any folks ever wonder why Dohn is taking his vacation time right now? Its because nothing is going on with Football or Basketball. Everyone needs to get off Jill's back and just be thankful she's posting anything. If you don't like then you can ask for a refund...wait this is a free site....if you don't like it then tough - quit being rude.

If Jills post was a waste of space, these comments are at least 100 times worse. douchebags...

Keep it real Jill.

geez...tough crowd. its ok jill, most posters on here a insecure jerks who get bullied around by their bosses/wives/probably anyone else in the real world. let them have their moment of self righteousness in cyberspace...

I don't care, Jill's still awesome in my book.

Retarded shyt like this deserves to get trashed. You know, UCLA baseball is playing, how bout some lil tidbits about them instead of "UNLIKELY SCENARIOS"

I don't condone name-calling, but I believe customers are allowed to complain when they feel jipped. Sure the the site is free, but for a reason. Simply scroll down to the bottom of this page and witness the advertisements. Our navigation to this site generates income for the newspaper, so in a way: we are paying customers! When we see inadequate reporting, the newspaper deserves to feel our wrath.

a record number of posts off this. Jill just made some coin off you (us) suckers!!

Such anger and confusion. Jill that's what you get for starting your post with the words: "just think"

Jill, you're my Golden Ticket :)

yeah, ucla is playing, but not even going ot make the tournament, unlike my titans. The biggest ucla baseball news is gerrit cole making national team. the softball team is good tho. It may not have been the most groundbreaking post, but it wasn't a waste of time. you A-holes taking 30 seconds to bash Jill was more a waste of your time than reading her post itself. Losers.

*yeah ucla is playing baseball

please post a piture of yourself Jill.

Jill don't mind us all. You're just an excuse for us to occupy time(yes I had some mean things to say earlier). Don't take it personal.

I'm literally embarrassed to be part of this blog now. Show some respect. If I was Dohn, I'd be really mad and embarrassed to be covering for UCLA and a bunch of losers here.

Guys I have a theoretical idea for our offensive backfield... Lets say we put Ramirez at starting tailback, let Franklin be the backup and Knox share time in there as well. Meanwhile, (and this sounds insane)we redshirt Coleman for later conversion to fullback. With our current fullback situation of Moline and Theriot being seniors and Tobi Umodu a junior, it woud make sense to have him the season after the upcoming one. I know the incoming freshman Jayson Allmond is labeled as a fullback, but from what I have seen he might become a defensive tackle. With Coleman's strength and our depth at tailback, this seems a logical solution to a future lack of personell at fullback. Crazy as it may sound, it just might work.

Bell will be as remembered as a Poli-Dixon Catch over the middle

"Jill is doing a great job"

Really? Tell me when she has given some decent insight or in depth news into the fb/bb program? From what I've seen, most of her posts are media releases and such. Nothing really breaking there.

Most of you nerds are defending her because she's a female. LOL And if she can't take the criticism she shouldnt be a writer.

Jill Painter filling in for Brian Dohn is comparable to Vlade Divac replacing Shaq in 2005. Just posting UCLA news releases and then ridiculous things like this prove why Brian is so valuable.

I think most of her posts are copied from Ted Miller.

Who cares, if you all don't like it, just come back to the blog in 2 weeks, geez.

I don't care if she's a female, male, alien, porcupine, or whatever. I count my blessings and I'd rather have Dohn and Jill than Scott Wolf.

Methinks that Dohn will insist on registering for comments after all this. I hope so.

I love how quickly this devolved into a jr. high side-taking party. Jill is a professional journalist, and she should be able to take the criticism at this point. There is absolutely no need to "defend" her. You post something ill-conceived and incongruous with the custom and history of this blog, and you will and should be taken to task for it. What a world when you can't judge someone for doing their job poorly.

The "wait til Brian finds out how we acted" sentiment is even more ludicrous. If I filled in for a boss/colleague and performed poorly, I would expect them to be the harshest critic of all.

i <3 jill ^.^ ;)

Jill:

Don't you realize that the bruins are the "Champions of the Offseason"? This is our time of the year to shine and behave like we are actually relevant. Your post does not help foster this illusion.

A Haiku for this blog entry

Hi Jill. To me you're doing a great job. I appreciate whatever news or tidbits you have to share. There seems to be a lot of negativity in response to your post. I hope that doesn't deter you from sharing any future news with us. Take care!

Does this set some type of record on here for most replies?

I for one think the whole thing is funny. Thanks Jill for being a good sport (I hope)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I enjoy haikus
A way to look creative
For lazy people

A scenario more unlikely? Patrick Cowan throwing swing passes to Reggie Bush for the Saints.

I think Brian Dohn got canned in a lay-off. There has been a blood letting at the Daily News with staff cuts. Dohn???

Let's see if we can reach 100 comments on this post.

Unless I missed out some historic context, why did you inflict this upon us?

Everyone must admit this post is hilarious and downright RIDICULOUS! Get a clue Jill! Your editor obviously isn't doing his/her job. Here's some advice, if you can't think of anything newsworthy, post those racy photos of Carrie Prejean.

How much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?

It's just getting ugly in here.

Jill, thanks for your work. i don't blame you if you don't want to post any more comments. I can not believe these are Bruin fans!!!!!!!!! yes, a little off topic, but hey I have seen similar from Dohn and even worst from readers. You dont deserve this.
Good job.

Good job? Why are you thanking somebody for sub-par work?

I hope you fools are happy. Something news worthy might be happening but Jill probably doesn't want to do us any favors. Personally I would like an update on Dominique Johnson and Raymond Carter possibly leaving. Now we have to wait on Dohn coming back.

I really want to thank the ungrateful hosers who have littered this post with their pent up anger probably stemming from Daddy issues...WOW!.

Doesn't want to do us any favors? You're an idiot! We generate money for the Daily News which in turn employs people like Jill Painter. She better be researching newsworthy stories.

I am embaressed for everyone who has made a mockery of themselves on this post. Your not even bullies. a real bully has the guts to go face to face. your an internet bully. stop hiding behind your computer.

I think people are defending Jill because she's a girl. Just imagine if Spencer Pratt was Dohn's substitute.

I am embarassed at the way you spelled embarassed.

Just imagine home much better this blog would be if these proud Bruins had better relationships with their mothers.

Just think, IF I won the lottery and IF I didn't blow it all, I could be a millionaire. Unlikely, yes, but never say never.

Just think, IF Jill made a decent post and IF the posters didn't rip her for it, this could be a good blog in Dohn's absence. Unlikely, yes, but never say never.

Just think, IF Manny didn't get busted and IF McCourt wasn't so cheap, the Dodgers could win the world series. Unlikely, yes, but never say never.

LMAO...dude keep up the IFs

Just think, IF I cared to tailgate with Brian and Jill and IF I sucked up to Brian and Jill constantly, I would be as lame as VB. Unlikely, yes, but never say never.

a question: Are both Dohn and Jill assigned to UCLA or is Jill doing Dohn a favor?

either way would jill really be doing dohn a favor?

VB:

I would like to tailgate with the UBTA but I am still concerned about my shellfish allergy

I really hope that Jill and Dihn do not get offended by all of this. THis is without a doubt the funniest thread ever by far on here.

Whoever wrote "Just think, IF I cared to tailgate with Brian and Jill and IF I sucked up to Brian and Jill constantly, I would be as lame as VB. Unlikely, yes, but never say never." is making my day. Keep it up man, you're hilarious! And yes, this is the most fun I've ever had on a thread.

this is the best post ever

Jill, I'd be happy for them both.

Please ignore the petty posts.

Go Home Jill!

Yay!!! I'm the 100th post.

Tell Pakistani what he's won, Don Pardo!

"Me, however, I have impeccable social skills, a brain to back up my statements, a beautiful wife, and the best tailgate this side of Nevada." LMAO...You have some self-confidence issues too. You forgot to mention you're a strong, independent, and beautiful woman. Keep complimenting yourself buddy!

"I'm like Brett Favre. I'm NEVER going to retire now."

There you go vb now that was funny.

PakistaniBruin I am sooooooo jealous. 100th poster. Congrats, what do you plan to do with your winnings?

Hey VB,
Good to hear some people know what's going on in the world. The Taliban is a serious existential threat to the government of Pakistan, but hopefully Islamabad will prevail in the end. My cousin, who's in the Pak Army, was recently shot fighting the Taliban and lost his leg, so things are pretty nuts over there. And yes, I'm so stoked to be the 100th poster. I'm thinking Disneyworld--wanna come along anonymous one?

Go Bruins!

Just got home from work and I am dying reading this thread, this is the most incredible one ever. Gotta give props to Pakistani on his VB comment.

How dare you infidels talk about us this way! Paki Bruin I will issue a fatwah on you! You should be proud of Jill. Under our rule she would have never learned to write, let alone speculate "what if's"

ALAH AKBAR

Get a life, homers. The Bruins are in the offseason. Go watch some baseball or AYSO soccer and wait until football season to being your cry-baby rants again.

May 7, 2009 3:28 PM

I hate soccer. Don't they play in the fall? That is why my boys don't play soccer. Even though UCLA sucks right now, I ouwld never take a AYSO soccer game over UCLA football.
