will close as UCLA says goodbye to the Pac 12 forever....not with a bang but a whimper and thoughts of what might of been.

Just as we suspected, he did not have a great season, probably because it was too green, and he had no offensive line to protect him or any of the other quarterbacks.

UCLA has extended an offer to TJ Crandall, who spent his freshman year at Colorado State this season.

He made 19 tackles with an interception and two pass break-ups in 10 games in 2023.

Crandall was a two-star prospect from the state of Washington out of high school.

I don’t think I have ever seen such mismanagement of a football program outside of scandals.

Anything other than a decision to go pro and sit out the LA Bowl will be a surprise:

On how AD Martin Jarmond misread the situation in a catastrophic week:

There's no question that Lynn had an incredible season turning around out defense in one year...but can he duplicate it? His success was predicated on the development of guys like Toia, the Murphy brothers, Carl Jones and especially Latu, who is probably a first round pick and award winner. Who can he get to fill the void?? Does the defense revert back to being an embarrassment again?

Your thoughts on who steps up next year??

Ryan Gunderson’s name has been coming up as a possibility for the Oregon State offensive coordinator job

From Mayfair coach Derek Bedell:

“We have 5 young guys they are in the process of evaluating. 2025 QB Jeremiah Calvin, 26 Ath Chaz Gilbreath, 26 FS Miles Mitchell, 27 DB Terrell Jackson and 27 WR Martrail Mitchell. Nobody that they are specifically offering at this point.”

Gilbreath, in particular, is the early standout of that group. He’s already had Arizona and Washington both show interest before the season started.

Per UCLA’s team spokesman, Mick Cronin (COVID-19) will not coach tonight. Assistant Darren Savino will be the acting head coach in his place.

Big surprise

We are literally handing this as poorly as possible. I can’t believe we are allowing this to drag on. Harmony is terrible.

Not that I believe much of what they say but considering the silence it seems plausible.

For being named PAC 12 POW. Good job!

I was thinking that we were close to hitting rock bottom in football which is pretty far down for our program. But let’s play it forward if Chip leaves…

No less than half of our roster graduates or transfers, including most likely our top four QBs, our entire stable of running backs, and 3/4 of our starting defense.

We can’t get high quality players through the portal if they think Chip is dead man walking. Plus they will have witnessed an exodus from the program. We know Chip isn’t going to pull in any quality recruits from HS.

We join the Big 10 and play an exponentially more difficult schedule against much bigger and deeper teams. We end up 3-9 with some embarrassing blowouts.

You know the team will quit on Chip in that scenario, so the product is going to be not only terrible but embarrassing.

We inevitably fire Chip at some point next year. We have an even more decimated roster with an even more disengaged fan base.

What exactly is there to gain by staying the course? Does anyone think that we’re beating LSU, Washington, Oregon, Penn State, Iowa, OR SC next year? Let alone Hawaii, Fresno State, Nebraska, Rutgers, Indiana, or Minnesota?

Fresno State will smoke us in the last game of the year.

Plus our home games are all going to be like away games.

If I were betting right now I would bet the under if they set our wins at 5. Like the easiest money ever. But that’s not the problem…it’s that we’re in way worse shape than we are now, which is hard to believe…
