    Thursday night on ESPN.


    Who ya got? I like UCLA but I have been horrid at picking games this season.

    I've got Stanford 56-35. McCaffrey has a huge night.

    I have no idea how to read tonight, To paraphrase Ballbag, Broons have the effect of turning Shaw and Hogan into Harbaugh and Luck for whatever reason.

    Lost in LA amongst the Sark circus is that the Broons have quietly had a rather crappy off-week since getting their shit pushed in by the Doovs, with a WR going doing for the year and Mora coming off defensive and crabby about the Jack "Fuck SKOOL" couch sale and playing FOOTBALL on a weekday.

    I had been Brooning big-time about our (huh?) OL, but they were completely marginalized against ASSU (LOL!11!) and everything went (LOADED) south from there without a functional run game. To me, this is Mora's best chance to date to prove that he can lead UCLA away from their rich tradition of mediocrity.

    All around weird vibe going on right now, I say 22-11 Broons.

    Take all the screenshots you need... Mora will never be a championship coach. The one caveat is that he could MAYBE win the Pac 12 if every team loses 3 games, but he will never coach a team that is consistent enough to make the playoffs.

    No great recruiting or assistant coaching will change that.
    I don't disagree.

    He's basically the asshole frat guy to Sark's dumass frat guy. Mora is Johnny in Karate Kid. Looking good for a while before his inevitable demise (because Karma that's why) is his M/O.

    Shaw is a good coach. He is about to wrap up his third conference title, which Harbaugh never accomplished once.

    #myutes will keep it close but I like Hogan over Wilson in the CCG.

    Doogs will tell everyone how Shaw sucks as he coaches in another Rose Bowl while Doog legends Peterman and Mora jockey to Fight Hunger.

    YRYK. Shaw is easily the most underrated coach in the conference on this bored. He makes some dumb playcalls from time to time, but his teams are disciplined, prepared and TUFF. He's not a great coach until he wins something more than the Pac dreck, but he's a damn good coach.
    In the past, his play calling and redzone issues have single handedly lost them games and even cost them a natty shot. It was a pretty big problem, but it looks like it might be fixed now. Shaw has kept the Harbaugh train going which deserves some praise.

    We should beat Stanford at home next year.

    They lose Hogan, Cajuste, Rector, and 4 starters off the OL.

    They also lose 6 starters on D (after losing a lot last year but clearly had vets ready to take over).

    I'm so glad we have Petersen over tuff guy Mora.

    I'm not as convinced that his in game issues are fixed, I just think he's so good at everything else that it covers most of that stuff. He's kept Stanford much better for much longer post Harbaugh than anyone could have realistically expected.

    Wake me when Stanford beats a good team this year.

    When I was watching last night they showed how Stanford has UW, WSU and some other shit team for the next three. "Should be able to get well on that schedule"

    They also play like 5 or 6 freshman quarterbacks.

    I like UW in this one
