re: Welcome to SoCal LSU fans. My tailgating tips:
Posted by Bruin2010 on 9/2/21 at 6:41 pm
Not sure what OP means regarding brown bags necessary for the tailgating area. I've walked around with beer cans for years, there are no open container rules as far as I know. Also, one or two beer vendors in the stadium? Last week they were selling beer every 50 feet, they were even selling beer at...

re: Why are reporters trying to pump this up as a close game?
Posted by Bruin2010 on 8/31/21 at 5:56 pm
Good catch, although not sure I'd call an 8 point win over a team that went 0-12 the year before a 'spanking'. Point is, even though LSU has won, it's been relatively close except for that 2 win Arizona team....
re: Why are reporters trying to pump this up as a close game?
Posted by Bruin2010 on 8/31/21 at 5:49 pm
Very few SEC teams go out west and beat Pac-12 teams in recent years. I believe the only ones to do it this century are LSU against the Arizona schools and Georgia at ASU. And the ASU games were very close....

A couple other guys I'll mention: Sean Rhyan, who should be a first round pick in the NFL next season and maybe the best tackle LSU faces this season not named Evan Neal. He has the power and body type of a guard but tackle a...

We generally platoon our guards under Chip, to keep the biggest guys fresh since there is a lot of running and pullin...
re: Key UCLA Bruins to watch for against LSU
Posted by Bruin2010 on 8/31/21 at 2:10 pm
It was good to see Mafi get the start last week. A 360 pounder should match up much better against LSU's tackles than Clemens, who might be 290 soaking wet....

In the tailgating areas there are no open container rules, you can walk around with whatever you want. No mask rules either....

Ultimately, yes I would be pretty satisfied with a 10 point win...
re: LSU UCLA attendance
Posted by Bruin2010 on 8/30/21 at 10:37 am
I would expect about double what the Hawaii attendance was. While the announced attendance was 32K, I was sitting in the stands and there probably wasn't more than about 15K in the actual seats. It was about 100 degrees at the game, and a ton of fans were sitting in the shade outside of the actual s...
re: Calibrate your expectations
Posted by Bruin2010 on 8/27/21 at 5:21 pm
Some computer ratings from last season:
FPI: LSU 28th, UCLA 29th
SP+: LSU 45th, UCLA 46th
Sagarin: LSU 38th, UCLA 46th
So not a ton of separation between the two teams' performances last year. UCLA returns more proven production but LSU has more recruiting talent. Throw in situational fa...
re: Chip Kelly knows Offense
Posted by Bruin2010 on 8/26/21 at 4:39 pm

This. Plus Chip isn’t known for his adjustments or game planning. His philosophy is that they are going to do the same 5-6 things over and over again and just be better at executing those plays than the defense is at stopping them, especially after the defense begins to tire from the HUNH.

re: UCLA: The matchup to watch will be their o-line vs our d-line
Posted by Bruin2010 on 8/24/21 at 3:48 pm
Chip's run game switched to more of a gap scheme last season, with lots of pulling, trapping, and unbalanced formations. You won't see them them just lining up and blasting people, the scheme is based on messing with the linebackers' gap responsibilities from play to play. It's a bit like an option ...

[quote]If you are coming from Santa Monica, my suggestion is to ride the Expo Line on Metro rail to downtown, transfer to the Red or Purple Line to Union Station, and then take the Gold line to Pasadena and take the free shuttle from there to the stadium.

re: What units will you mainly be watching during UCLA-Hawaii game?
Posted by Bruin2010 on 8/23/21 at 5:38 pm
1) Cornerbacks - It looks like last year's starters have been supplanted by two newcomers, which I see as a good thing but I need to see them play in a game.
2) Defensive line - This unit is big and should be decent against the run, but we need to find a pass rush without blitzing. ...
re: If you are planning on tailgating at the Rose Bowl
Posted by Bruin2010 on 8/23/21 at 5:36 pm
If you can manage to get a parking pass for one of the lettered lots south of the stadium (A,K,H,I) exiting takes no more than 15 minutes. You might have to pay $50+ on Stubhub to find one but I find it's well worth it....
