| Cougars: August 2008Just got an e-mail from Wazzu. There will be a couple of players signing autographs Saturday at Qwest Field before the Oklahoma State game. They'll be at the Exhibition Center in the morning. The official release is after the jump. ...As the new Bruins head football coach, Slick Rick is getting nearer and nearer to walking back on the field at Husky Stadium. November 15th, to be exact. The once heralded coach is now the main guy for his alma mater, UCLA. ESPN.com even has an article about the 47-year-old Neuheisel's return to the Pac-10 on their main page. It's worth a read. In the column, Rick prescribes to be a changed man. Here's part of what he has to say: "I will be better now because of those experiences, and for that reason, I can say that it was worth it, now that I have this opportunity. ... And there is regret, but I don't focus on the regret. I focus on taking the positive from it and moving forward and hopefully not making those mistakes again."His troubles, Rick says -- NCAA probations, violations in Colorado, gambling on March Madness, an Uber amount of arrested Husky players -- are all behind him. After leaving the Huskies, Neuheisel coached high school before moving on to be an quarterbacks coach for the Ravens in the NFL. Now he's poised to make his return. But does anyone believe Slick Rick's old ways are simply part of the past? And does he have the stuff to set UCLA in the right direction? ...Darn that Clay Bennett. First he takes the team formerly known as the Sonics to OKC, but then he trades for former Cougar Kyle Weaver after he's moved the team. The Okies sent Charlotte a 2009 second round draft pick for Weaver. It would have been nice to see Weaver in a Sonics jersey at least once. Who knows, maybe that'll come true someday when Seattle gets the NBA again. ...Cougar football single game tickets go on sale tomorrow morning. You read the official press release after the jump. It has the list of the games and the costs. Depending on the matchup, the cost of the ticket can vary. ... |
