FLASHBACK To 1992: A Familiar November 7th For Rick Neuheisel? (89 clicks)
Let me share a little bit of history. Understandably lot of people are down about an 0-5 record in the Pac-10 conference. We have already heard the stat about how the last time UCLA lost 5 conference games in a row was in 2003. However, did you know that this is not the first time Rick Neuheisel has found himself in this kind of situation as member of the UCLA coaching staff?

Time To Rally Behind Our Team (109 clicks)
Earlier in the week the Daily Bruin attacked Rick Neuheisel in just 19 games into his tenure in Westwood in an article entitled "Neuheisel's Team Falling Apart." I found that kind of funny for a newspaper that was too busy licking Steve Lavin's boots, assaulting Karl Dorrell's critics, and patherically celebrating close loss to Southern Cal all those years.

Some more post-game extras (89 clicks)
Just got back into town, and here's some extras from yesterday... Norm Chow on the offense being drastically better in the second half: "You always make halftime adjustments and they always do things to you you're not expecting. They blitzed us a lot more on second down. People don't see that." Tony Dye on what ails the defense: "Big plays, man - we give up a deep ball, we drop a pick. Here and there, things are killing us.

Oregon victory has USC fans flying not-so-friendly skies (163 clicks)
How much are Oregon fans reveling in the 47-20 victory against USC on Saturday? Duck fans flying south Sunday were ready to crow, even the ones doing the actual flying.
A JetBlue pilot stepped out of the flight deck to address the passengers on a flight about to leave Portland for Long Beach. He welcomed everyone on board, and said, “What a great victory by the Ducks yesterday.”
