Rivalry Poster

2012 UCLA vs USC football poster

I came across a great site for photoshop tutorials (tutzor) and by following the instruction of one of the many lesson, came up with the above poster to celebrate 2012 UCLA victory over USC. High resolution picture (1200 x 1600) of the above can be found here and before anyone asks, no I do not believe you can print these out and sell them since I do not own the images on the original photos or the tutorial. Whatever you choose to do with the poster should be for personal reasons only and not for any monetary gains. Go Bruins beat Stanford!

UCLA vs USC Highlights In HD

Let me state one thing right off the bat, while I wanted to see Matt Barkley’s face buried on the turf as much as the next person, the last thing I wanted is for him to be injured in anyway. I sincerely hope his shoulder injury is not too serious and Matt goes on to have a pro career that will have him flourishing as much as his talent allows it to. Yes, I know he was smuggy like the Los Angles air quality during the 50-0 debacle last year but to wish an injury on a kid who is playing a game because of his previous childish bragger is incomprehensible. Also for Damien Thigpen, young man has been through quite a lot when it comes to injuries and I hope that he makes a full recovery for next year from the torn ACL he suffered during the game. With Jetski gone we need Damien as much as anyone and if he is still able recover enough to play football for the bruins during the 2013 season, it will be a great news for the bruin nation.

Now to the highlights of the game itself. Due to the number of request from the facebook site as well as my last post (I deleted the pending comments but read all of them), I decided to break down the highlights into 4 quarters with each quarter containing significant plays that either turns the momentum around or lead to a score. Chances are the segment that you requested to have it encoded in HD will be included in the quarter in which it happened. Also, the supposed post game interview in which Coach Mora got emotional is uploaded in this post as well, but I actually find Joey Harrington’s comments to the interview more interesting than the interview itself.

Great game and GO BRUINS!

Top 3 QBs In The Pac 12 So Far…

1. Sean Mannion : #beaverjuice, Sean Mannion has been slurping a lot of it. He is what Matt Barkley should have been this year. Take Tom Brady and erase all his dreamboat like qualities along with his never ending collection of male Uggs, what are you left with? You are left with Sean Mannion. Sean has a perfect frame for a pro style QB along with a rocket arm which also happens to be very very accurate. If those qualities were not enough, besides that cannon of an arm, Mannion has the toughness to be an extra on the set of “walking dead” since no matter how massive of a hit he takes, he will just rise back to his feet in a very nonathletic way to fling more TDs down the field. Get past that every damn white kid from Indiana face of his because then you will see a very solid quarterback, if not a special one.

2. Brett Hundley: Is he the “savior” as UCLA fans like to refer to him? Well, listen, every QB after Cade McNown has been labeled as a savior to start off the season so there is no great honor in garnering that nickname. However, unlike others QBs before him Brett has shown the poise, leadership, and mobility to be something special in the upcoming years. First, Brett is very accurate in his short to medium range passes which is a great asset to have in the Noel Mazzone’s swing pass heavy offense. Secondly, Hundley’s running ability (which is a bit overrated in my opinion, think of Pat Cowan minus the quality of ending every run with a massive hit to his head) gives him the elusiveness to buy extra time for himself in the pocket or to gain much needed yards past the line of scrimmage when his pass protection breaks down. And finally, Brett doesn’t have to deal with the Pistol aka “Fingerbang” offense that we had last year which in no doubt would have left him with a concussion by the 3rd quarter of the opening game. But let’s not pretend like this kid came out of nowhere to Rudy his way into our hearts this year, Brett was the 3rd rated QB in the country coming out of high school. He is just living up to his potential right now and good news for UCLA fans is that his potential has the highest ceiling of any QB we have had in our football program since Troy Aikman.

3. Matt Barkely: Matt “Prometheus” Barkley has been downgraded to Heisman doubtful due to the amount of hype he had coming into this season and frankly not living up to any of it. Just like the prequel to Aliens, Barkley had unimaginable hype that only let to a tremendous let down by the public upon viewing the final product. The key to stopping Barkley seems to be simple, get to him early and get to him often. I will say one thing for previous OG Matty, but Leinart stood there in the pocket never got flustered no matter how heavy the shots were. Sure, 90% of that bravado was probably due to syphilis eating away at Leinart’s brain, but it’s still a quality that the Matty 2.0 just doesn’t have even after spending 4 years at the helm. If I was a defensive coordinator for Utah, I would trade a giving up an early touchdown for a massive hit on Barkley early on in the game because the chances are after the hit Matty will start floating 99 balloons up in the air hoping that one of his athletic and explosive comrades will catch the the damn thing and run 95 yds with it. Mobility is a word that is not allowed in the Barkley household and it has hurt him tremendously with the suspect offensive line he has in front of him this year. Matty 2.0 pro draft stock has been slipping slowly and he needs to do some damage control against Utah to bring it back to the preseason level.

Top 3 Exciting Teams In The Pac 12

1. Southern Cal Trojans:
Slurp…. Oh sweet tears of Matt Barkley… WHY THOU TASTE SO MAGNIFICENT!!! Do not blame Lane Kiffin for the Stanford loss. It was obvious to anyone who was watching the game that 24 straight bubble screens were called by Lane due to his vision being limited from the reflection caused by the sun on his laminated chili’s menu playbook. “I can’t see shit… Okay bubble screen it is.” Key to beating SC seems to be getting to Matt Barkley early and getting to him often, which seems to be an easy task due to the current state of SC’s offensive line (if I was the OL coach for SC I would get rid of Cyrus Hobbi and replace him with a scarecrow to increase Barkely’s protection). Maybe they are not exciting in terms of product they have put on the field but you can’t deny the fact that SC has been the talk of the Pac 12 coming in to this season due to their all star line up, and the struggles that they have had even during their wins this year makes them a compelling viewing option no matter if you are rooting for them or rooting against them.

2. Oregon Ducks:
It’s true, Ducks have not played anyone yet. In fact don’t quote me on this but I think Ducks might be playing Fashion Institute of Technology this week followed by Marinello School Of Beauty next week. But that does not take away from the fact that these attention whore neon yoga pants wearing mofos are exciting as hell to watch. DeAnthony Thomas is the real deal, and whatever uncle Nike paid to get him to Twilight town was well worth it. The true freshman quarterback Marcus Mariota looks good as advertised in slinging the rock against the Western Culinary Institute and University of Phoenix (Online Chapter). And Chip Kelly is still sporting massive brass balls in his play calling to compensate for the fact that he looks like Barney Rubble with a Hypothyroidism. Everything has been in line for the Ducks so far this year and they have been just a big neon ball of excitement, let’s see how they do against the Rich Rodriguez’s back country hick powered spread offense this week.

3. Colorado Buffaloes:
Colorado is like “Don’t text and drive” commercials coming to life in a college football form. You can’t help but rubber neck your way into watching their games because you know you will see some horrific wreckage in a nice little Pac 12 package. If Cyrus Hobbi was a Pac 12 football team it would be Colorado. Seriously, I heard Colorado has worked out an agreement with Comedy Central to have it’s weekly highlight show hosted by Daniel Tosh. Thrill of victory is sometimes just as exciting to watch as agony of defeat, and no other team in the Pac 12 has the agony of defeat part down like the Colorado Buffs.

Matt Barkley Please GO AWAY! Another UCLA Uniform Post

click for a larger version

Merry Christmas Everybody~~~~ Yes even to the USC fans, hopefully you had little bit of free time away from knobbing on Barkley’s nuts to spent some quality moments with your family this weekend. Remember, this young Matty is different than the old Matty. Leinart was a walking STD, he was used to someone being on his scholong at every waking moment, but this crooked smiled christian Matty has polar opposite family values. Be delicate with this one, he needs care and affection before the act. Maybe even a dinner or two followed by a love poem that recites your admiration for his rocket that he calls his right arm. It will reduce his anxiety for sure, and maybe when your mouth is full of the QB kingdom, humm a little bit of “conquest” to make him feel at ease, to let Matty know that he is at a safe but a special place. And whatever you do don’t let that Sanchez kid anywhere near the crooked smile golden boy, he don’t seem right with me, he don’t seem right. *pounds another shot of vodka eggnog* Y U NOT GO BARKLEY? WHY???????

The above photo is actually courtesy of NIKE pro combat poster for LSU tigers, in which I raped the color purple (i believe there is an ebony porn movie by the same name) a bit to make it a friendlier blue and replace the mud hicks logo on the helmet with a UCLA logo. The idea came to me when I was browsing through variety of sketches of pro combat uniforms available on the web via something called google images (yes google, I know that I spelled ‘tittys’ wrong, just give me the damn images okay save me the freaking spelling lesson) I realized how much the LSU pro combat alternative uniforms resembled the new UCLA all white alternative uniforms that we were suppose to debut against USC last month. Too bad that game got cancelled because of a severe wind storm caused by all the supermodels that were screaming my name in unison from all the loving I was giving them that night, otherwise we would have killed those cheating bastards on the shady part of town. Yeah we totally would have, by like 50 points or something. I am beginning to think that this combination of my crazy pills and vodka eggnog is not a good mix. Happy holidays to everyone, no matter your religion, nationality, or school alliance may you guys/gals have a great holidays and a blessed new year.
