    Run out of frustrated ways to describe UCLA basketball, the only thing keeping me sane is a good recruiting class in football and basketball for next year

    You beat up on UCLA's worst team since like 2009 or 2010. Enjoy it this year, because it ain't happening next year.

    Official

    To
    day the NFL announced that the popular International Series would be returning, this time to Mexico City. For the next international game, our own Oakland Raiders will be hosting the Houston Texans at Azteca Stadium on Monday, November 21 (the Monday prior to Thanksgiving). This will be the first time a Monday Night Football game has been played outside of the United States.



    Another 1st for the Raiders

    I'm stoked. I wish he would've done this right after the Sark thing because we'd have a MUCH better coach and staff (although I really like this staff, outside of the choice at HC).

    Your BB class is AMAZING. The football one is good, but really not that great. You need linemen, both offense and defensive and really got a whole lot of nothing. Yes there are a couple really good players, but not exactly where your need them, which is on the lines, as I mentioned. The team is going to be barren on the DLine and Eddie V will get tagged teamed all year long next year so your defense stands to take a BIG hit.

    Rosen doesn't do well with pressure and most of the medicore line that you had is now gone. That is going to mean a big drop-off and a sophomore slump for him. He is good, but he will struggle next year. A team a couple games over .500 is probably going to be the best you can hope for.

    Still feels good and we will enjoy it. Don't be so sure because our team is young, the class coming in is strong and Enfield really has something cooking here.

    I agree to a certain extent but not as harshly. The class was really good as far as much as we know from reading, but you're right in that it's not as good in the context of UCLA. An elite LB class mixed with shiny receivers, some play makers on both sides, doesn't hide the disappointment of not landing the tight ends and linemen they needed. Some nice gets on the line, but they basically fill in talent lost from last year. Klemm stupidly getting suspended fucked up a very important part of the class like you said

    They wanna go to a more pro "tough" style of offense but now having to do it without the right personnel is scary but, that's why your coaches should be able to make more of the talent at hand

    I don't know what UCLA is gonna do in 2016, but Rosen is going to be better. Count on that. We don't have Noel Mazzne calling plays anymore. Huge upgrade just right there. UCLA might've lost Kenny Clark and Jack, but we really didn't have Jack last year and we're getting Eddie back, who was looking great before his injury last season, add in Keisean Lucier South should be getting run this year, plus Mique Juarez should play right away. Plus we apparently got a new punter, that should help our defense immensely

    Club America plays soccer in Azteca stadium.
    Maybe the owners plan on buying into the NFL and hosting a team there?
    And they plan to call the team America to compete with the Cowboys their natural rival.
    Using a logo that has both american continents as its key component surrounded by stars.
    Club America.
    Although the Jaguars would be a natural fit if they decide to move a team instead.
    Jaguar is spelled the same in both languages and the animal was the totem of Aztec knights.

    Nah fuck it, if the league is to move a team it should be the Mexico City Raiders

    Well you know if all our guys come back next year like it's expected will happen and add in our recruits, we're gonna be really fucking good too. Could be some great games.
