If you were at this game and didn’t stay for the A S A S A S U! Band performance after the game, then you’re an intellectual coward. They stole the day and took the next for good measure. Even the UCLA band crossed the field for front row seats.
Worth the price of admission, even if you’re lame and hate music.
Shout out to Deshun Murrell who got some touches at the end. Love to see it.
A bit of a nothing-burger this one. I’d say do away with the grades and just go pass/fail, with this one a pass. I feel like I know even less about this team than after week 1 with how the game went. Still worried about the O-line and the pass D, but we’ll find out eventually. It was great to see so many new faces on the field and learn some of the stories of the guys that put in each week without playing.
A couple of talking points; quite a mystery what happened with Charbonnet. Doesn’t seem to be an injury, or just resting him, maybe a discipline thing although he doesn’t seem to be the type for that either. Whatever it was, let’s hope he has a good day on Saturday.
Also, I hated the ‘Transfer U’ post, was good to see Kelly squash it, but it really shouldn’t have gone up. A bad message to high school recruits, and I don’t think it helps with the portal either. It actually makes you think that UCLA is desperate to fill holes in the line up. Also, it’s a silly stat anyway as # of transfer players in the line up doesn’t correlate to on field success. I don’t recall any of the teams on that list going to the playoffs. If you were to beat your chest about the ranking of your recruiting class, you could at least make the case that the blue chip ratio predicts success and other recruits would want to be part of a winning team.
Finally, spare a thought for me come game time - it’s a 4AM kickoff for me.
Wow, I 100% disagree with the play an HBCU team every year point. I think our schedule should be a lot harder than it is this year and we should've kept our no FCS school streak alive.

Spot on as usual Dimitri!
