The Karl Dorrell era ends (Updated)

Or at least it freakin' better after tonight.

For every big game victory Dorrell pulled out of his ass, there are embarrassing losses...like tonight's.



UCLA's Terrence Austin exhibits his "hands of stone" on this dropped TD pass



Dropped passes, stupid penalties, lack of focus or intensity...and then finally, the team quits.



Oh...the agony of watching UCLA football...

Washington State was 2-5 going into tonight's game. They had not won a single Pac 10 game. We got our asses thoroughly kicked by Washington FREAKIN' State!

How does Karl Dorrell get his team SO prepared to play these important games?

(Update) Bill Dwyre of the LA Times had this to add:

UCLA ought to be able to drive a van around the campus on a Friday afternoon, pick up 35 students who look fairly healthy and come up here and beat the Cougars. Which is a harder sell to a prospective player, the bright lights of Los Angeles or the vast nothingness that surrounds Pullman?

Yes, the Cougars played hard and played well. And yes, this is like going to the moon to play a game -- did those loud and inebriated fans in their deer-hunting clothes really come to watch a football game? Or when they chanted at the end of the game to the Bruins: "We own you! We own you!", did they mean the entire team or just their hides?

Owned. By Washington Freakin' State. Thanks to Karl Dorrell, my Bruins are now a football joke...

They have become the Never-Beat-A-Team-You-Are-Supposed-To Gang. Their leader is the We-Just-Have-To-Do-Better-Next-Time Coach. Their fans?

They are the people you see, often late on a Saturday night, off in a corner somewhere, shaking their heads and talking to themselves.

Latest update @ 8:52pm on Sunday, 10/28... Dorrell still has a job as a Head Coach. It's almost as if he has something on Dan Guererro up there in Westwood.
