Pac 12 UCLA Misfires in Houston 38-34
On the outer edges of tropical storm Lee in Houston UCLA and the Pistol offense looked more like Cartoon character Elmer J Fudd chasing Bugs Bunny at Robertson Field on Saturday afternoon. I can hear Elmer saying to himself with the help of Mel Blanc what no more bullets? Sorry Elmer and UCLA coach Rick Neuhisal no more bullets, or at least very few.in Neuhisals case. . After putting himself on the hotseat and hiring a new O and D coordinators, the 15-22 Neuhisal rode the 22 losses straight the most in any 3 year span in UCLA history into Conference USA territory Saturday behind Case Keenum the 6th yeaer Senior with 13,856 Yards 107 TD and 41 INT for his career was an efficient 19-24 188 yds 1-0 in the first half as Houston racked up 296 total yds on offense including 4 TDs and a FG in the first half scoring 21 2nd Qtr points in route to a 31-14 half time lead. Now to the Wounded of Westwood. Neuhisal I have spoken of at length and believe he will be fired. Often injured QB Kevin Prince exited at 11.56 left in the 2nd Qtr with a concussion. That left the duty to Junior QB Richard Breauhaut from Alta Loma CA was 17-26 264 YDS leading 2 drives of over 70 yds to close within 31-28 after 3 quarters.The one bullet the Bruins may have found Saturday was the son of ESPN analyst and former TE NFL Christian Furia .Joseph The 6-8 252 pounder had an excellent 1st half totaling 6 rec for 110Yds 1 TD overall. The other magic bullet UCLA may have found was RB Jonathan Franklin 16-128 8.0 Avg 1Td. It really was a shootout but the streak of UCLA beating Texas Teams eneded at 9. The Cityand 25 legislators lobbied the State of Texas to move them from Confrence USA to the Big 12 at some point in the future after a highlight reel run by Michael Hayes in which he broke at least 5 tackles on his way to the end Zone maybe a forensic specialist needs to come in and check the bullets fired at UCLA Saturday. The UCLA Neuhisal death march to unemployment line continues next week vs San Jose St The firing squad is ready to kill Neuhisal this Week Houston fired the first shot Saturday I am senior writer and wws founder Mark Alan Janisch you may find me on twitter @wideworldofspor http://espn.go.com/ncf/boxscore?gameId=312460248 Game Stats

Seahawks Win Final Exhibition game 20-3 Over Oakland
Good Evening The Seahawks and the 12th man fan base can relax for at least 9 days from now when they face the San Fransisco 49ers in week 1 I myself have had concerns as a fan that the team was moving slower than a traffic jam on the 520 Bridge. For now the Seahawk offense had thier best 1st team performance of the preseason and evening the record at 2-2 Tavaris Jackson and OC Daryl Bevell seem to have finally found the same mental zipcode for a change as Jackson finished an efficient 5-7 for 88yds. The other concerns I have had is the right side of the offensive line led by the firm of Moffit and Carpenter both rookies from Wisconsin and Alabama. It does appear that o-line coach Tom Cable has simplified things to include a zone blocking scheme that for the most part actually formed a pocket for the aforementiontioned Jackson to stay in rather than run out of faster than a Sound Transit bus at the Corner of Rainier and Othello. For the offense the highlights included several Golden Moments in the the form of Mr. Tate the former 2nd round draftee from Notre Dame combined for 156 all purpose yds in an effort to keep his job on the 53 man roster. I mean really this is a guy who was lucky to find his way through the Notorious Renton Wa S curves on the freeway getting to the VMac training center and could not run a pass route last year I mean he needed a GPS to find and execute a proper route last year. Really. While there are still questions sorrounding a defense and secondary that is bigger in size with the recent departue of Kelley Jennings They are a work in Progress and with the lack of mini-Camps and OTAs likely 1500 snaps or more combined. The 7-9 Seahawks will not win the first few games in a snap. It will take work with Road games in San Fransisco and Pittsburg respectively to start the Season. The Seahawks must cut the roster down by 27 players by 4pm PDT Saturday. then the road work starts at least WSDOT is not the only organization that needs to complete it,s roadwork on time. I need to catch my 12th man Charter for the 2011 Season Hopefully it arrives on time as opposed to a King County Metro or Sound Transit route until Sept 11th I am Mark Alan Janisch Senior Writer and founder of WWS you may find me on Twitter @wideworldof spor

Mark Emmert a Politically Correct Liar may needto be fired by NCAA.The Breeze Vol 1 # 16
The Scandals continue to Pile up for NCIA President Mark Emmert as of this posting 3 more OSU players have been suspended along with the 8 Miami players for taking improper benefits from boosters making OSU and Miami home of the less than great 8 as in the number of players implicated in the Latest Scandals to rock The National Collegiate Investigation Association. Mark Emmert when last seen left The University of Washington after a 6 year tenure to join other academics schmoozing at NCAA HQ. Emmert declared while at Washington there is ettiquite to winning in College Sports. It might be time for Emmert to have to change his Paradigm as stated well by Seattle Times Writetr Jerry Brewer in this August 18th 2011 article posted on this very blog http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/jerrybrewer/2015940221_brewer18.html#.Tk2VZYuogec.blogger
Why is it that some left of center academics can never deal with reality when it comes to the fact that young players need some form of compensation as they are the engine that keeps academic programs running including Women,s Sports thanks to Title 9. Emmert has already stated that Miami will not recieve the quote Death Penalty as SMU did in the 1980.s and Miami did not although should have recieved for defrauding the Feds out of educational grant money in the 1990,s chronicled by ESPN in 30 for 30 series. So as the heat gets hot under Emmert as in hot seat barely 9 months into his tenure as NCIA President he has more investigations he needs to make Michigan , Oregon, LSU Miami USC it seems like the floods and the 5.9 Eathquake that struck the US East coast in the same week did not faze another President but maybe like President Obama Emmert needs to be Shaken by more scandals before he gets a clue he is in over his head and he like our current commander in Chief is in over his head In a related post Paul Finebaum from CNNSi.com takes issue with Emmerts failure to lead I am Mark Alan Janisch Senior writer and founder WWS you may follow me on twitter @wideworldofspor The Paul Finebuam Piece followshttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writers/paul_finebaum/09/01/mark.emmert/index.html?sct=cf_wr_a1
