THIS WEEK’S POLL: WE CAN ALL AGREE ON BEAUTIFUL, RIGHT?
You’re beautiful, it’s true.Only one thing remains less compelling than a blogfight, and that’s a bumfight. Corrected: bumfights are far more compelling than blogfights, therefore ignore previous sentence. No one ever paid money to watch two dorks slap each other with laptops, though now that we’re picturing it, there’s a moderate amount of potential in the concept. (We call dibs on the steel-plated Toughbook.)
So if Bruins Nation and SMQ can’t agree on what realistic expectations for HIS COACHNESS SIR RICK NEUHEISEL are, then we can count on two things. First, that Kyle will have a reasoned, cogent, and well-constructed 15,000 word piece on the topic. Second, that we propose peace by saying that in all the minor hubbub, we all agree on one thing: that HIS COACHNESS SIR RICK NEUHEISEL is the Platonic ideal of beauty brought down from the aether for our enlightenment.
Therefore, we present our intermittently updated poll, featured in the side bar to the right, which asks the question: What is more beautiful than HIS COACHNESS SIR RICK NEUHEISEL? We personally think there’s only one answer, and that is that he himself is the definition of beauty.

We discussed this at length before posting the poll, and came to the conclusion that Pete Carroll’s beauty is like Godwin’s Law–invoke it and the argument’s over. He is removed from this discussion because he is removed from us, existing on a higher plane of unicorns and everlasting muscle tone.

This is bulls#@t. Why can’t I vote for the glory that is Pete Carroll?

Honest to god, I’m not sure, but I wondered that as well. Maybe that’s why they were so quick to adopt an acronym…

Is it some kind of in-joke that CRN’s name is misspelled several times in the post and no one comments on it?

Where would we get our yuks without Bruins Nation? I mean, really. There was no better comedy during the “Dump Dorrell” campaign than visiting every day.
Oh, and by the way: ONE HUNDRED COCKTAILS to Holly for that custom pacifier.

Don’t worry Holly, since UT plays UCLA this year I’m sure they will have plenty of venom to spit at you by the time the season rolls around. Every UCLA opponent gets plenty.
And if you were accepted to USC and USC’s incoming freshmen do better on their standardized tests than UCLA’s incoming freshmen, that just means that you must have been one of UT’s ten students.

I wouldn’t know; I got into USC but couldn’t be bothered applying to that other one. [hair toss]

Holly, c’mon, it goes without saying that there are not 10 students at UT who could get into UCLA.

So the West Coast IS for pussy (liberal), douchebag, tree-hugging smelly hippies.
Thanks BN!

SMQ, Orson and King are picking on UCLA because they are jealous.
I’m actually a little hurt. I took like nineteen shots at them from a verrry large soapbox in three days (including this) and don’t merit inclusion in the “gang”? VALIDATE ME, ASSHOLES.
