Slick Rick in LA

UCLA hired Rick Neuheisel as their head ball coach this Saturday. In the ESPN article linked, Neuheisel was quoted as saying the current UCLA defensive coordinator, "DeWayne Walker is my No. 1 recruit."


We'll see if he can turn his career around as a head coach. But if Pete Carroll can become a successful coach in LA, anything is possible. The recruiting advantage of being in a city the size of LA is a huge plus. Honestly, I'm more excited that Slick Rick will take the "Hollywood" nickname from me and I can go back to being "Two Point Oh", or maybe just plain ol' Joe.

A few years ago after losing his job at UW, Neuheisel fell to the point where he got creamed against Coach Goose in a Junior High scrimmage. Great story, if you haven't heard it, just ask Goose sometime. Tonight, I just got done watching the Pats come back from down 12 and beat the Giants in New York. Great game. Too bad the first game of the weekend will be the last good game of the weekend. At least there are some good Premiership matches manyana.

I would submit that Mr. Newsnatchel will not take the "Hollywood" moniker from you big guy......if anything, he becomes Hollywood 3.0.

Sorry buddy. "Hollywood" stays until you reside in the 206 once again.

Don't fight it....embrace it.
