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

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

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

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

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.

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

Just got worse. Terrrible. Just terrible.

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

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

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

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

The start of the last year of coach K.

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.

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.

Felton with the TD!!

Touchdown, UCLA!

Runfastandwin's avatar

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

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

Felton is looking like the whole offense so far.

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.

Dimitri Dorlis's avatar

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

Expand full comment
gbruin's avatar

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Expand full comment
gbruin's avatar

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
gbruin's avatar

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

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

Stephen Jacobs's avatar

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

Expand full comment
gbruin's avatar

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

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

Expand full comment
gbruin's avatar

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?

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

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.

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

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

TxBruinFan's avatar

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.
