Frenk calls athletics the "front porch of our university." He gets it!!!

JF88's avatar

Good! Maybe he'll show Jarmond the "back door". :-D

btw, the audio on the stream is terrible for me

Joe Piechowski's avatar

I wish I could help that. I had a similar issue. So, I tuned in to BTN on my TV.

UCLA created the internet, and apparently, UCLA football broke the internet! LOL

Chenalex's avatar

Thanks for the BTN tip lol

gbruin's avatar

If only we'd invented the internet

Joe Piechowski's avatar

We did. We also broke it today!

i thought that was Price Albert?

"Goodbye Mr Spalding! Touch 'em all!"

"Nothing but net! Drained it from the cheap seats!"

"Coast to coast!"

{{{chortle, belly laugh, guffaw!}}}

..way to go, JF! Now , if you don't mind, I am off to the ER to get my cracked ribs looked at!

No, that's just him being politically correct for the moment. I cringed during that entire sequence with Blockhead 2.0 & Jelly 2.0. Just looking at them, you can see they are both clueless.

Joe Piechowski's avatar

Jarmond thanks Tim Skipper for serving as interim head coach.

Tamara's avatar

Donut Head Jelly 2.0 talks about accountability 🤣 What a slimey narcissist.

gbruin's avatar

Jarmond is the one who told boosters that we shouldn't expect UCLA to be more than an 8-9 win team, then he talks here about championship success. Grrrrr

Tamara's avatar

Fake. Phony. Fraud. But I bet he willingly walks in Chesney's shadow for survival. I don't see Blockhead 2.0 firing him.

BigB88's avatar

Did you "feel dirty" just by listening to those two? Two pretty lowlife slimy characters.

mgibby's avatar

Where's his accountability?

Chenalex's avatar

Chesney mentions the water polo team’s recent championship and Pauley’s 11 banners as evidence that ucla can also succeed in football. He’s been doing his homework!

Tamara's avatar

I 💙💛 that!

Chesney: "We don't need to be the 'other school' in this town. We need to be THE school."

Tamara's avatar

Purely awesome! 💙💛

kingjim1954's avatar

Amen!

Evan's avatar

it's nice, but hasn't like every coach ever talked like this? Even if not at their introductory press conference, it's not like he is the first coach who wants to be more successful than USC. I'm hoping his on field results back this up.

In a video of the family walking from the plane, the kid flashes a 4's up. Loved it! Coach Chesney did too earlier but love seeing the family on board.

Bruin4ever's avatar

Looks like they're learning how to be future Bruins!

"The leading cause of success is well-managed failure"

Damn, I love that.

Tamara's avatar

Etched in his heart.

Tamara's avatar

Cronin take note, just saying.

mgibby's avatar

Cronin hates losing.

Tamara's avatar

I disdain Cronin as a coach and as a person. Cronin has essentially won nothing and the contrast will be ever clear once Chesney starts winning.

mgibby's avatar

Conference Championships are nothing? LOL.

mgibby's avatar

Did you disdain Steve Alford? That guy is garbage. To my knowledge, Cronin never tried to set a prayer meeting between a rape victim and one of his players.

Tamara's avatar

I absolutely disdained Alfraud, he made me ill.

DBruin's avatar

Alford stayed long enough to coach his son (over Zach Lavine I might add), grab his millions and split.

Evan's avatar

this is a sick comment

Tamara's avatar

That's a compliment coming from you. Evan.

BruinMom17's avatar

I posted the entire quote in our family group chat. Sounds very Wooden-esque to me!

Evan's avatar

if that's the case, we are HOSED

Bob Chesney, Senior also sporting a UCLA polo.

Tamara's avatar

What a beautiful family 💙💛💙💛

gbruin's avatar

Jim Freaking Hill. What a legend.

Dimitri Dorlis's avatar

That man hasn't aged since the 1980s.

ArmyBruin's avatar

Oh, he has! LOL I see him at the golf course. Nice man.

Chesney: "Pressure is reserved for soldiers and surgeons."

Tamara's avatar

What an outstanding human being!

Tamara's avatar

'Understand that you are prepared' Bob Chesney sounds like Wooden 💙💛

Joe Piechowski's avatar

Different language, same meaning!

ArmyBruin's avatar

Failure to prepare….

Joe Piechowski's avatar

...is preparing to fail.

ArmyBruin's avatar

This guy is impressive.

Tamara's avatar

Top notch human being and leader 💙💛

Tamara's avatar

We will be a 'YES' program and involved in the community 💙💛

gbruin's avatar

I describe that scenario almost every day with work and leadership where we have a bunch of people who find it so easy to say no and so progress ever gets made.

I talk about the same when referring to building an on campus stadium. Lazy people say cite the many many hurdles and say no. We need leaders who will say Yes!

Chenalex's avatar

Interesting and cool to hear that Dave Roberts was also instrumental in recruiting Chesney

Joe Piechowski's avatar

Chesney: "Everything I've loved about every place I've ever been is here at UCLA."

Just wow!

Evan's avatar

i hope he's never loved an Athletic Department or AD!
