Cowardly Cheatey's Escape Thread Cont: Speculation On Candidates/Recruiting Consequences (162 clicks)
Per the updates in our last post it's looking lot more than just mere speculation that Cowardly Cheatey Petey might be high tailing out of South Central Los Angeles for a job with the Seattle Seahawks. While this is not a done deal yet we have lot more than smoke signals. So let's chat a little about possible coaching candidates for a scandal tainted program (here is our two year old list) which should be facing severe sanctions from the NCAA if the allegations involving Bush, McKnight, Mayo and who knows what else is beneath the surface stories were to be proven true.

Howland: Letdown? What letdown? (49 clicks)
A week ago, UCLA followed a crucial Pac-10 season-opening win over Arizona State with a dud against Arizona, a classic letdown game to most but anything but to head coach Ben Howland. After a stunning, buzzer-beating 76-75 win at Cal on Wednesday, UCLA is wary of another letdown at Stanford today at 3 p.m. Again, perhaps letdown is not the right word.

(how far along in the process are they) - Spencer With the major talent UCLA is courting, I don't think they're pushing for Burton too hard. They haven't offered him, and I expect them to be in limbo until they find out about Ray McCallum and Trey Zeigler.
