UCLA suspends 6 for oregon game

now some are saying curfew violation. though they broke curfew BEFORE the cal game and NOW they are being suspended? also some rumors that moore was at that miami agent party and it seems confirmed he's one of the guys suspended. either way, not good for ucla.

If bending the rules couldn't get them around Cal, they're certainly not going to get them by UofO in Autzen.

perhaps slick rick figured he had no chance at oregon and the whuppen wouldn't look as bad if all those starters were suspended.

When are people going to realize Neuheisel is simply a bad coach? All the talk about UCLA capitalizing on USC's probation is some of the silliest stuff I've ever seen on here. SC will keep getting the best players in the region and the guys they can't take because of limitations will do what they've mostly done for years. Got to an Oklahoma/Texas/Ohio State or other name brand national program.

If Oregon manages to survive their schedule unscathed, I believe they'll reap the benefits of USC being under probation. Especially if the Trojans continue losing. Now I don't expect that to happen, but it's a possibility.

The media needs a new darling out west. Right now it's Oregon, and if they continue winning it'll remain that way. Which of course helps with recruiting amongst other things.

ESPN loves Oregon already. Don't really know how I feel about that.

Why? I don't care what ESPN's agenda is or whether or not what they're doing is "sports journalism".

If it weren't for ESPN, there would be a lot less College Football, Basketball, NBA, FIBA, MLB, World Cup/Premier League, Little League World Series, etc, televised. I love ESPN. 24/7 sports are accesible. Take them away, and you take that away.

Oregon can only capitalize if they win the national title this season.

Even losing would help. First and foremost, they'd still be plastered all over television. Secondly, they could now legitimately say "you could be the piece that gets us a National Title".

That's all ESPN is good for nowadays. Well, that and ESPN News.

Um... that's their purpose. To televise and report sports. Which is exactly what they do.

Most people cry about ESPN because they see and hear other people doing it.

Let's see...their broadcasters are generally awful (Morgan, Miller, James, Musberger, Theismann, Kornheiser....I could go on and on), they make absolutely stupid shows such as PTI, Rome is Burning, and SportsNation, they can be incredibly biased, they televise poker, Erin Andrews is pretty overrated, they hire some "analysts" that are a complete joke (Kiper, Holtz, May, Howard)....I don't think it makes sense that they focus on off-the-field storylines more than analyzing matchups and games.

Maybe it's a personal preference, but all I use ESPN for is watching games and ESPN News (and SportsCenter with Neil Everett and Stan Verrett, because they are the best anchors by far that they employ.

Most of the actual good sports analysts are making a better living in las Vegas and Atlantic city.

Espns are with a few exceptions simply tv friendly to the average viewer. Whether or not they're worth a damn is another matter.

So... you don't like ESPN because their analyst aren't to your liking? Mute the TV.

What's wrong with PTI? And I myself am not a fan of Jim Rome is Burning, however I don't dislike the company due to televising a show or two I dislike.

Whom or what are they biased towards?

So... Erin Andrews being overrated(Don't much get this, but whatever) makes you dislike the company?

How many more people are more qualified to talk football than Desmond Howard(Heisman winner), Mark May(An excellent lineman in his day. Incredibly well spoken), and Lou Holtz(Though biased, he knows football)?

Everybody uses ESPN for games and sportcenter/ESPN news

The EA comment was just a joke. Holtz doesn't know what he's talking about. I'd rather get my sports news from online sources. I guess that's what I'm saying.

ESPN does employ a top-notch Pac-10 blogger, I must say. Ted Miller is excellent.

ESPN is one of the best thing to ever happen to sports. That's what I'm saying.

ESPN used to be awesome before it turned into sports TMZ.

It's still awesome in some regards, but as a whole, I'm just not a big fan.

Espns NFL crew is solid but that's about it. Lou holtz is a total ND/Arkansas/USCjr homer. Mark may just likes hearing the sound of his own voice. Erin Andrews has terrible diction for being a tv show host. Eric kuselias is about as annoying as they come.

Desmond Howard is usually okay but I know a lot here that would disagree with that. Still, maybe one or two okay analysts out of how many? Espn is worthwhile simply because they have broadcast rights to like 90% of all sports in existence.

Easy solution. Don't watch ESPN or anything broadcasted by the company(including ABC games). Lets see how long you last.

(and you're like 16. All you know is ESPN in its current form)

Espns online staff is generally solid.

Oh let me put a nail in the coffin.

Espn employs David pollack to talk football on tv. Nuf said.
