That'll be a very humorous ad when UCLA finished below Stanford in the Pac-10 this year.

Weaknesses: Offense, secondary (except for Verner). Strengths: Front 7, kicking game. Players to watch: Defensive tackles Brian Price (Tennessee will have to double team him) and Brigham Harwell, middle linebackers Reggie Carter and cornerback Alterraun Verner. If the OL gives them anything, the top 3 running backs are very talented (Kahlil Bell, Raymond Carter and Aundre Dean). The offensive line is awful. Inexperienced, full of positional converts and injuries and the depth is so poor there are only 3 backups for the whole line. UCLA is already on the 3rd string QB and it sounds like the only reason he's starting is because he's older and more experienced...i.e. he's not that talented. I'd be ecstatic with 4 or 5 wins this season. The biggest strength is that they have an excellent defensive coordinator and the most accomplished offensive coordinator in college football history. I miss Norm--as an SC alum I can comfortably say he makes Kiffin, and now Sarkisian, look like rank amateurs. But obviously, it remains to be seen how quickly that will pay dividends. I just hope UCLA can compete because I wouldn't be able to stand the SEC mouthbreathers holding this over the Pac-10's head. At least when UT beat Cal in Knoxville and vice versa last year in Berkeley there was some semblance of returning talent on both squads. Dorrell really did a number on that roster.

That's what Fuku needs to be doing when he's working good hitters counts.

I'm not really mad about the game but I am annoyed that Fukudome has been wretched for months.

Cool, Kosuke still unable to hit below-average major league fastballs hard.

Can someone give me a definitive answer as to whether Mrs. Camden has in fact, smoked pot?

REEEEEEEEED!!!

Thank god for geriatric left fielders!

All right, all right, all right

Nice jam job, Reed. RUNS PLZ.

Nice rip, Fonty.

If the Cubs don't score some runs here I'm going to watch tonight's episodes of Becker on WGN. You really don't want that hanging over your head do you guys?

Our yards per attempt numbers are always anemic.

Eff.

Atta boy Reed. Come on DLee.

I think Howry's new first name is "The Struggling Bob."

Lots of bad swings from DeRo tonight.

Mrs. Camden has smoked pot.

Or the near triple digit heat...

Jeremy "Carlos Lee" Hermida scares me here.

then you're on 700 not 720 I'm on 720, and it slowly fades in. I just adjusted it now, and I can hear Pat and Ron, but in about a few minutes, I'm going to hear Marty again until his voice overtakes Pat's and I'll have to fidget with the tuner knob again. Sometimes frequencies will bleed when they are relatively close together, depending a various things. Happens more at night because there's alot more atmospheric bounce after the sun goes down. I was under the impression that there was less atmospheric bounce at night. I can certainly hear AM stations further from the source at night.

We need to beat this Florida team once & for all. Especially since there's an actual chance the Brewers won't sweep this weekend. The Dodgers have a scary lineup now, especially if Nomar can produce. I wouldn't say scary. I would say "perhaps good enough given an excellent pitching staff."

Hey a contusion is just another name for a bruise right??

I'm not sure how they calculate Georgia's SoS, but it looks as if the non-D1 opponent isn't even factored in, which should lower theirs. The Pac-10 teams are playing some ridiculous schedules this year, though. It's funny how a team can play Blindnun U and not be punished for it. No way is there schedule harder than USC's. The SEC has this down to a science. they play at arizona state and then their regular rivalry of georgia tech. that is not a cupcake out of conference schedule. and the SEC is deeper in terms of top 20 teams than the pac 10. I think there's a perception that beating a midtier OOC BCS school is the same as waxing the Citadel or La. Tech and that schedules should be ranked only by the "hard" (e.g. top 25 opponents) teams on the schedule. For years, the SEC would load up on absolute cupcakes in the first month of the season so by the time conference play came around you'd have lots of 4-0/4-0 type matchups and wins became more valuable and losses less damaging in the eyes of the pollsters. It's a beautiful self fulfilling prophecy. But Texas Tech has to take the cake for biggest joke schedule of the year: Eastern Washington, @ Nevada, Southern Methodist, and UMass.

I usually give SEC teams crap for their bevy of directional Louisiana schools, Sun Belt also-rans, and 1AA cupcakes but I have to give Georgia props. That schedule is definitely no joke. But keep in mind that this is UGA's first OOC game west of the Mississippi since 1960.
