UCLA Football Team “Evokes” Obama…results predictible
September 4th, 2010 at 7:35 pm by NigelWoke up this morning excited at the start of a new college football season…went to my favorite UCLA fan site and saw this:
UCLA All-American defensive back, Rahim Moore:
“You know what Barack Obama said, `Everybody’s scared of change,”‘ Moore said.
Well, when you “Evoke” Obama, what do you expect? Let’s see…certainly using the the accounting skills of the Obama administration, UCLA stopped Kansas State on 4th and goal at the 1 in the first quarter, only to be called for using 12 men on the field. They subsequently gave up the first score of the game.
As guests in Manhattan, Kansas, they frequently bowed down to their hosts, missing tackles and letting the Wildcats waltz into the end zone on their final two possessions with nary an objection.

Showing all the poise of Obama without his teleprompter, the Bruins dropped passes, had stupid penalties at critical junctures, and often times didn’t know where they should be.
Most telling, they “changed” their offense and struggled throughout the game. I suppose they “hoped” their new “pop-gun” offense would confuse Kansas State, but they couldn’t manage a drive more than 35 yards all day.
Until they fell behind by a touchdown and needed a quick score…going back to their old offense, UCLA scored in two plays.
TWO.
How’d that “change” work out for ya’ Rahim?
Next week against Stanford, how about we “evoke” someone with a little better than a 42% “success” rate…like this guy:

Dang Nigel, I’m sorry. Sorry that the next page in the Obama playbook is “After failing completely with the first plan, double down on the same exact strategy”.

Maybe the UCLA coaching staff can help Rahim’s evocation by trying to negotiate a peace between the Jews in Westwood and the Muslim Student Association of UC Irvine! They could all meet at Canter’s Deli and Restaurant in the Fairfax District over a potato knish or a cherry cheese blintz!
Or, maybe they should just play football the plain old way the Bruins did in the past. And, win. No more evoking the animal spirits of an empty suit.

Right on, Mr. Bodell. Rite, Right, Rat on! Know the ‘hoods too well in my youth. The only animal spirit to “evoke” is the bear! ANY U.C. graduate knows that! Unless you’re an anteater or a banana slug! But, if you’re a Bear, Bruin or Highlander, you KNOW the animal spirit to evoke! And, it ain’t no teleprompted empty suit!

Look I played K State. Had to. A healthy UCLA could have covered the spread by 20. Prob is.. they showed up missing half the team to injuries.
Great vid at the link. Shameless self promoting. Great government hating. Who said hate isn’t useful?

Nah Something…we weren’t THAT banged up. Really, only our quarterback (which of course is a BIG piece of the puzzle) and kicker (who looked his usual All-American self).
We laid an egg. We’ll call it what it was.
If we win Dec. 4, this ugliness will be erased from memory.

Let’s see if Rahim can muster the academic prowess to make it to “Black Graduation Ceremonies” some day.

Only at that school…only at that school.
