DEAD MEN WALKING

I hope the UCLA basketball team reads this. I have been a die hard Bruin fan since the early 1970's. Live and die with every game. Grew up before Jabbar and Walton, when we still put up a banner or two. I love the tradition. I love the campus, and the school.

But I have witnessed the end of a great year. The last two games you have really looked like shit in the first halves, and although you can come back on Washington and state that way, you are in the tourney for gawd sakes. What the pattern of behavior for stinking up the place in the first halves?

Show some fire for Christ's sake. Dive for a ball once in awhile. Play tough under the hoop and block out. And learn how to shoot a fucking free throw. You are playing a team , Weber State, that isn't a stiff. They can beat you when you are playing decent, and right now, you aren't even playing decent. You cannot take any game for granted now. Do or die. For your, AND my college basketball season. You see, if my Bruins aren't in the dance, then I ain't dancin' either. Don't make me turn on the spoiled, selfish ball hogs of the NBA.
You can go all the way, you guys. Only Florida, Memphis and Ohio State are in your league when you are rollin'. Blast Weber State out of the friggin' building, and reclaim some of your long lost swagger. You got Duke coming up and OK, forget I wrote that. You just have Weber State....Weber State...Weber State, and absolutely nothing else. Go Bruins!!!
