This team is LOADED with talent and now some experience too. "CAN'T WAIT" for next season!!! But first... time to watch Fucla beat (they cant actually lose and finish 6-8 can they?) the almighty Illini of Illinois (sloppy seconds and nothing close to the Illinois team that SC dominated in the rose bowl in 07-08).
MEDIOCRE ON, though!!!
AUUUUUUUU-WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
UCLA B-R-U-I-N-S are so "Irrelevant" these idiots still select a player of the "BIG" game.....So much for your arrogance bullcrap. (Let's see who played well against UCLA!!!!!!!!!). Please pay close attention to what's going on over in Westwood! A$$WIPE
Fite on Anyway
To "owns"
Illini? hahaha.. Lemme see here, the choice might be spending New Years Eve watching a mediocre ucla team, the only team ever to be handed a bowl bid regardless of having a losing record, no coach, no winning history, no class, no shit, no shinola! play against an inept sorry ass coachless bottom feeder out of the big 10 who has not won a game since getting by winless Indiana in what will be just a week short of 3 months! well wtf! I think going to Vegas and partying like a rock star would be more in order!
Just imagine wasting New Years Eve on the frakking sorry ass bruins.. Oh yeah!
Shouldn't we all just do the "8 clap" as we flush the bruins down the hunger commode errr "bowl"?
Beaner, the ONLY reason that award is given out is TRADITION. You know, like when Fucla was GOOD, not GREAT. When the game meant something more than playing a Pop Warner squad. This award is on the same line as the "Lifter Award".....some piece of $h!t trophy for the poor guy to put in his office (unlike the bRuin troll players, SC guys get jobs).
wolfman, for shame!! you left out the three most important awards of all to trOXans!! of course i referring to the "Shouldda-Couldda-Wouldda Awards"!!!!!
you know, "we Couldda won if the refs didn't lie" and "the Pious Passer Shouldda won the Heisman" and "we Wouldda been in the BSC title game, but they took it away from us"!!!
the winners:
Pious Passer: Shouldda
Kiff: Couldda
Bounce Pass Haden: Wouldda
oh, ChuckerBucker, you've done it AGAIN!!!!!
