And Alford loses

[DowsHawk1]

You can't win at UCLA, it's a football school . If they keep him long enough it may turn into one anyway.

News Recap From UCLA Basketball at Missouri - Bruins Nation

But in the end the Missouri Coach Haith adjusted and Steve Alford had no answer.... UCLA's next game is another joke against may be the worst team they have played yet, Prairie View A.M. Panthers. That will be the last easy game before the PAC 12. It will be crunch time after that, how will Alford answer?

News Recap From UCLA Basketball at Missouri - Bruins Nation

Alford needs Elton John to be singing: "Can you feel the love tonight" before every game...I like the UCLA fanbase, they are taking over all the bitterness that this fanbase has, but can now sit back and watch the sharks tear Alford apart and just giggle like little schoolgirls.

ICAC: UCLA Basketball Competing in 2014's "Battle 4 Atlantis" - Bruins Nation

This news came out last week but I guess no one was interested in sharing it. Well given how TARA's team got exposed on national TV this AM, I don't blame folks for being totally disinterested in Chianti's boring and poorly coached basketball program.

Still for the dozens (or maybe few hundreds who still show up at OPUG) who still care about UCLA basketball dying a slow death under TARA here is a scheduling note for next season...

Why do they call him TARA?

Enough said.

Were you thinking they would go unbeaten?

alford is a nasty little *****, but he has two stud recruits coming in

if he's learned how to handle big time media and real expectations (the media and alumni in new mexico? joke), he may still be successful, as much as it pains me to type that.

What is the statute of limitations for capping on Alford? Or is it like murder, where there is no statute of limitations? 30 years from now, Hawkeye fans will be writing, "I heard Alford is trying to play on his celebrity status to finagle some free prescription meds from the local pharmacy. Loser."

watched most of it. UCLA had a comfortable lead then collapsed down the stretch. Can't say I didn't enjoy it.

That sounds like the trademark of an Alford coached team. Same sh1t, different school, eh Steve?

Enjoy your coming unfulfilled expectations and NCAA disappointment, UCLA.

Since many of the bruin faithfull are expecting Alf to fail, i dont think their expectation will go unfullfilled.

Keep in mind that Alford averages about 1/3 of his recruiting class to never play a game for him. To be succesful at UCLA that is the one thing he needs to fix.

I see that some things never change. 2nd half meltdowns because teams start taking away what he wants to do offensively and he has no answer. I see that, at one point in the 2nd half, UCLA went nearly 9 minutes without a bucket. That was certainly par for the course during his time here.....

The gellyman will have his work cut out for him this year. His son, Bruce, and the rest of teh Bru Cru are not very good.
