As a Colorado Buffaloes fan, Rick Neuheisel deserves everything bad that he has brought upon himself. So, now he’s a lame-duck coach at UCLA, who somehow has made it to the Pac-?? championship game at 6-6.

The NCAA has said that even if UCLA loses (which they’re well on the way to), they can still play in a bowl game.

I vote that Neuheisel should absolutely be allowed to be defeated 51-3 by Podunk State in the North Central Midwest Soybean Harvesters Bowl.

The question has become moot.

That being said, why doesn’t UCLA have a QB that can throw a football?

UCLA used to be the dream school that could recruit anyone they wanted. Big time conference, southern California, some of the best hotties on any campus, nice weather, a winning tradition, a big market audience. What more could a recruit ask for?

It’s amazing that they can be so mediocre.
