UCLA almost screwed the pooch today.  UCLA alums around here were going nuts.  Down by 1 with about a minute to go, but they pulled it out against Arizona State.

I live in LA. Nobody will give a hoot if he wins.

Ben is winning, some people are giving a hoot.  It's all in how you define winning.  Lane Kiffin is winning, but not enough...and every little thing he does is scrutinized to the nth degree.  Mike Scioscia won last year, had a better record than the Detroit Tigers, yet some in the press calling for his head.

It's all about how much winning and if you don't, this kind of stuff just gives certain people ammunition to call for a head.

And can't we just get this topic back on track?  Buzz isn't going anywhere.  Lock this thread.

Right after you start getting back to your haikus.

Oh, I miss your once-eloquent and biting bits of passion.  Someday you will stop walking into parties like you were walking onto yachts and realize that endless soliloquies are not the way to go.

I'll save you both the suspense... You're both on a message board online. Literally everything in the world is more impressive than what you are doing now.

You are both losers. Steer this convo back to mubb

In a bit of irony, I tried that in the reply you quoted.

Anyways, Buzz isn't going anywhere.  Lock the thread.

Howland took a big blow last night that might help him. Adams broke his foot on the final play of the game after scoring 24 points in their victory over Arizona.  He's obviously out for the year, but that is really going to hurt UCLA moving forward.

F*ckin took a big blow last night too. Unfortunately, his dog had the Cooley's and blew him a kiss while pissin' on their walk.

Barnes is #1 in this list!  (Lot of other familiar names, and yes I realize it is bleacher report.)

 Randy: Can I get you something?
Second Jive Dude: 'S'mofo butter layin' me to da' BONE! Jackin' me up... tight me!
Randy: I'm sorry, I don't understand.
First Jive Dude: Cutty say 'e can't HANG!
Mrs Cleaver: Oh stewardess! I speak jive.
Randy: Oh, good.
Mrs Cleaver: He said that he's in great pain and he wants to know if you can help him.
Randy: All right. Would you tell him to just relax and I'll be back as soon as I can with some medicine?
Mrs Cleaver: [to the Second Jive Dude] Jus' hang loose, blood. She gonna catch ya up on da' rebound on da' med side.
Second Jive Dude: What it is, big mama? My mama no raise no dummies. I dug her rap!
Mrs Cleaver: Cut me some slack, Jack! Chump don' want no help, chump don't GET da' help!
First Jive Dude: Say 'e can't hang, say seven up!
Mrs Cleaver: Jive ass dude don't got no brains anyhow! Shiiiiit.

Does this board have any Mrs Cleavers to translate what this fool is sayin?

Just can't help but stir the pot, huh?
It's only a domino relevant to us in the unlikely event Buzz lands at UCLA. If UCLA lands another option - Stevens, Smart, Few, Dixon - Buzz won't be heading to any of their former jobs.

[Groin_pull]

Buzz Williams will not be going to UCLA. Let it go.

Sorry, not stirring the pot.  The discussion has been about UCLA, Texas, etc.  An article appeared in today's paper, I updated folks with it.

Sheesh.

I absolutely agree there is no way Buzz is going to UCLA.  He isn't a big enough name and UCLA will go after a giant name.  That doesn't mean that dominoes can't fall which is what the point of this thread was when it was started.  Whether Buzz goes to another job, I don't know.  Hope not.  It certainly won't be UCLA.  99 out of 100 people out here don't have a clue who Buzz is and it wouldn't be a sexy enough hire for them.

Now, if it means Donovan comes to UCLA and Dixon to USC, well interesting things start to move around.

[ChicosBailBonds]

Buzz Williams will not be going to UCLA. Let it go.

Never said he would.  We agree.

[Goose]

I would doubt that Buzz would end up at UCLA for many reasons. I do not agree that just because Buzz is not known by "99 out of 100" people is the reason. Of MU's last hires (I know MU is not UCLA) 99 out of 100 MU fans had never heard of the guy prior to be hired. UCLA is different gig and I get it, but being know to casual fan really means little. Prior to every hire since Dukiet I had somewhat inside info on hires and all were guys I had not heard about. That said, KO and TC were well known in coaching community but not to casual fans.

One question, I think Smart has done really good job but why all the love for him? He is young and done well over the last few years and that is great. Does he really have vastly more appeal than Buzz? Would have to think that Buzz's body or work is on par with Smart's. Stevens, Few and Dixon are ahead of Buzz on food chain. Maybe I am missing something with Smart.

Well, UCLA will go after a huge name which Buzz isn't.  Attendance has suffered, they need to bring in more of those 99 folks and get them excited. 

If Buzz leaves for somewhere, I would love to go after Smart.   He's from Wisconsin...very smart...African American.  I'd go for that hire.   Stevens, of course...though I still think he gets some love that I sometimes laugh at.  Back to back CBI appearances...can you imagine if that happened here, yet he's like the teflon man where that doesn't stick to him.  Those two CBI appearances after back to back national title appearances.  This year, I think they have been very inconsistent.

Actually, just one CBI appearance.

As for Smart, beyond what you already mentioned, he's young (only 35), charismatic, coaches an exciting style of ball and has a great pedigree (came up under Oliver Purnell and Billy Donovan).
He'd fit in very well in LA.
