#45: DeWayne Walker is a strong recruiter. What if Chow primarily handles the X’s and O’s, while Walker handles the bulk of recruiting duties?

To be honest, part of the reason Chow is overlooked is because he’s an Asian guy and people deep down probably find that a liablility. “Not a people person” is code language for “old Asian dude we think young black and white players won’t be able to warm up to or relate to, or possibly even respect.”

You don’t actually know until you try him out. I hope he gets a head coaching job somewhere.

No love for the “Chinatown” reference? Well I dug it.

Please let West Virginia hire Terry Bowden.

On tap opening weekend next season…
Auburn vs. West Virginia.

10-1 says Auburn backs out like they did against FSU, if TB is hired.

ummm…..Rich Rod actually told Terrelle Pryor he was taking the UM job about 3 1/2 hours BEFORE he even told his WVU team about it, let alone the WVU brass. Howz dat for aggressive recruiting? I have no idea if Pryor knew about the deal before Rod’s own wife did but I wouldn’t put it pass Rod for a minute.

Bruin fans are worried about Chow because he’s apparently not a people person…he absolutely hates recruiting. Why do you think STANFORD passed on him last year?

Looks like Tyrelle Pryor is already used to Big Ten speed on the defensive line. Either that, or they let him play with the 9th grade team for kicks.

You know, I thought the Jerry Macguire ish Memo that the AD that is on his way out at Washington wrote from the other day was kinda pussified….But he is right. What an ugly couple of years it has been in college football. Hand in your resignation letter in person and be a fucking man about it.

Babe Burning Couches & bruin Bloggerfoolery:

Where is the Couch Burning Girl, and her thoughts on the coaching change? Rodriguez did enough for WVU during the past seven years, and it is time for him to go to an elite program, no? (no offense WVU, but WVU is a good program, not an elite one)

Here is the latest BLOGGERFOOLERY from the mentally wierd Bruins Nation…Nestor writes:

“… let them (ucla admin) know respectfully and politely that neither CHOKER (Chow + Walker) nor Walker will be acceptable at UCLA.”

Just once I would like to read something respectful or polite from the nut-jobs at bruinsNation.

Chow is a true college football offensive genius, and I hope he gets a head coaching job someplace. But, if he goes to ucla, he will not win much….because of the best talent going over each year to……USC!

The WV gov’s statement on the Rodriguez biz is interesting:
http://www.wvgazette.com/section/Sports/2007121619
he blames the departure on “high priced agents.” So I’m guessing that one of these agents had Rodriguez’ kids locked in the basement until he signed the deal with Michigan.

#36: TCOAN: In high school, we used to joke with other dudes saying they were so homely that they bought dolls with ‘holes in the right place’!

adding to the Chow rumor… supposedly he’ll be meeting with the UCLA chancellor in the next day or two here in Los Angeles.

“We hold beef like a taco shell”??

“Buckeye City” is clearly the most amazing underground rap track ever.

UCLA will get Norm Chow IF he’s willing to work for undermarket wages because he’s so desperate to be a head coach and he wants to work out whatever shit there is between him and Carroll.

But don’t be surprised if Dan Guerrero hires DeWayne Walker anyway. THAT would be the typical UCLA move

#12-

Since sharks have been around for, oh, 400 million years (give or take), I think it’s more accurate to say that dolls have shark eyes.

*shudder*

I never, never understood why other girls liked to collect dolls. As a girl, people would buy them for me and I’d leave them in the package, in my closet, with their fucked-up shark eyes aimed at my brother’s room.
