Dorrell already at failing mask usage.

Expand full comment

Good start...

Expand full comment

Beth Mowins?!?! Nooooooo . . .

Expand full comment

I know...but I promised not to complain about her for 2 possessions though. I'm not sure I can make it.

Expand full comment

You're a better man than me, Greg!

Expand full comment

I was complaining about her in the game thread above which was written well before kickoff!

Expand full comment

It's my fault for making promises I might not be able to keep.

Expand full comment

Some good D so far. Let's see if they can hold on 3rd and long

Expand full comment

And now it's 3rd and not as long. Gah...

Expand full comment

Well how very Bruin...smh

Expand full comment

First touch a muffed punt that leads to a TD. UCLA gonna UCLA.

Expand full comment

Not a very auspicious start...

One the good side, that's technically 2 possessions, so I can complain about Mowins. Since I'm sure she'll to rip on our softball team at some point tonight.

Expand full comment

And we get an even worse KO return than CU did to start. Ick so far

Expand full comment

Just got worse. Terrrible. Just terrible.

Expand full comment

Wow DTR. Not good.

Expand full comment

Commentator talking about DTR's "growth" as he throws a pick to a DL. Jesus. Time to start drinking . . .

Expand full comment

Really impressive start against a new coach, new QB, new system, and a team that didn't start practicing until 2 weeks after us.

Expand full comment

Honestly all I can do is laugh at this point.

Expand full comment

Well you did write that nice optimism/pessimism article. I need some lessons in balance.

Expand full comment

I'm crying.

Expand full comment

A delay of game on a first down after a change of possession? Are you kidding me?

Expand full comment

Typical.

Expand full comment

The start of the last year of coach K.

Expand full comment

Beth Mowins doesn't even know who are players are without the nameplates. Zero homework. She makes a general statement, like "UCLA defense makes the play," then there is a 5-10 second pause as she checks the media guide for the name of the player who made the tackle. LOL. Any UCLA football fan could do better than her.

Expand full comment

I don’t blame her for that. Most National PbP people aren’t going to know players on various teams to begin with, and she’s now got the double-handicap of not having a spotter in the booth (because they’re calling the game remotely) and most of the UCLA players not having their nameplates.

Expand full comment

Ugh. I’m going to watch Biden at 5.

Expand full comment

Avoiding UCLA football may be that seed that reunites everyone.

Expand full comment

The wise choice

Expand full comment

Can we get Dorrell back? (Just kidding.. kinda)

Expand full comment

Felton with the TD!!

Expand full comment

Touchdown, UCLA!

Expand full comment

Well that was easy. No one really touched him. This is too weird playing with no fans...

Expand full comment

TD UCLA! Much better. Get it into Felton's hands as much as possible!

Expand full comment

Felton is looking like the whole offense so far.

Expand full comment

No defense again this year...

Expand full comment

Some things covid can't affect.

Expand full comment

Ok, the chronological option isn't working so well now. They are arranged well once I refresh the page, but the new comments come in at the top and are at the opposite end of the thread from the most recent comment.

Expand full comment

The nice thing about a game thread with people in it is that we can actually test stuff out now.

Expand full comment

Yeah. I feel dumb complaining since I couldn't make it into any of the test game threads but the bigger numbers will be a better demo here anyway. And the thread is still working a hell of a lot better than our defense anyway.

Expand full comment

This is hard to watch. Our defense leaks more than the bucket with the hole in it.

Expand full comment

Brutal. Azzinaro is just collecting a paycheck.

Expand full comment

I hope Martin Jarmond is already pissed.

Expand full comment

Me too! We are a disorganized mess of a clown show dumpster fire!

Expand full comment

Like a hot knife through butter. Chip, your Azz is showing . . .

Expand full comment

Thanks for getting this site up... miss the old BN. Now it's time to watch what Biden is going to say.

Expand full comment

Come back after and let us know if he has any solutions for this "football" program.

Expand full comment

Man when DTR is bad, he's so so bad.

Expand full comment

Yeah this is great. I’ve really missed BN.

Expand full comment

I've missed the people a ton, but reading Cam's stuff over there is just so meh. I haven't commented there in months, but I did put up a fan post yesterday just to link to orlando's PGGs.

Expand full comment

Dorrellian decision to punt gives the Bruins a lifeline . . .

Expand full comment

Ugh, a replay to see if we have our 4th TO in the first half. Not sure they can overturn it, but it probably was really a fumble

Expand full comment

I guess they can overturn it just fine. Fuc... CU gets the ball at our 8.

Expand full comment

Way to have them ready to play, Chip. Really awesome.

Expand full comment

Rock bottom. Unfortunately, Chip can play the COVID excuse/card. Why did Yankoff change positions again?!?!?

Expand full comment

He can't play the covid excuse because it hit everyone, and it affected CU even worse.

Expand full comment

Is it basketball season yet?

Expand full comment

21 points off turnovers and a 21 point deficit...ugh

Expand full comment

DTR is making a lot of throws off his back foot or falling back, and it's not due to people in his face. He just got lucky he didn't have his second INT. Where's Evan to help me understand this?

Expand full comment

It’s gonna be a long year at this pace.

Expand full comment

DTR has not learned a thing in 21 games. He looks like a true freshman in his first game out there. He officially a BUST. Sit his read end down.

Expand full comment

You can anticipate early season rust, but this is levels beyond that.

Expand full comment

Our offense is only surpassed in ineptitude by our defense!

Expand full comment

TD!

Expand full comment

Always defended DTR. But, there’s no discernible improvement.

Expand full comment

Man, that was a tough half. Dorrell is giving us some gifts and we are still getting crushed.

Expand full comment

Thank you for creating the new site....loved reading everyone's comments on the old site.

Pleasantries out of the way.....still no offensive line to establish a running game and give DTR a reason not to throw the ball, or think he has to do everything.
