More injuries
The injuries are beginning to mount for UCLA as right tackle Nate Chandler is dressed for practice, but his right foot is in a walking boot.
Also, freshman receiver Jerry Johnson is not practicing because of an ankle injury, running back Kahlil Bell is not practicing and quarterback Osaar Rasshan, who tweaked his knee Tuesday, is not on the practice field.
I will have more later.
Brian,
Do you believe that the turf on Spaulding Field has anything to do with this? This seems to be a problem for the last few years.
Dohn!!!! Why was I censored? I'm sorry, I lied, Neuheisel didn't call me to ask me to play O-Line.... He emailed me...
No, but seriously, what did I say wrong?
American football should be banned forever!
I have made this argument many times before but I will repeat it here. The "game" is simply too inherently violent too justify its continuation. A "game" where the intent is to hurt somebody just does not belong in a so-called civil society. You don't believe the "game's" intgnet is to hurt?-- Check out USC's and ucla's injury list after ONE WEEK of practice.
That said, the "game" is here to stay. At least for another century or so, because it is so part of the American male's psychic, or whatever you want to call it.
But truth will prevail in the end. And in the end there will be no football.
VB,
I didn't like the fact you called the offensive line players a name. Make your point that you think they are soft, but please don't resort to name calling. That's childish, and I find it to be unproductive.
Brian, would you be worried at this point that injuries could make this a really bad year for Bruin football?
Fair enough... I'll play nice...
Brian,
Chastising VB used to be my job. But he is all grown up now. So, feel free to chime in anytime VB gets out of line! I know he can hold his own. Really, I am to blame. I spent most of his childhood painting his world Blue and Gold.
Mmmmmmm! Breathe deep! Can you sense the aroma of "August Hope?" A new season is about to begin. Time to dust off the tailgate gear, plan the menus, spit shine the Blue Suburban, and become completely absorbed in the spectacle that is college football.
