Bruins Continue to Disappoint Football Fans All Over the World

Watching UCLA at Stanford today has been one of the single most frustrating spectator experiences of my life. Here's a team with a top fifteen defense, but one of the lowest-ranked offenses in the country. The result is game after game of the defense going three and out, then the offense going three and out. It's like watching a dog chase its tail or something. Just awful. In the culminating play of today's game the Bruins needed to generate approximately three inches of offense in order to keep a tying drive alive, and they couldn't do it. This would typically enrage me to the point of property destruction (my property), but I've been so bored by the game that all I do in response is fall asleep on the couch. I think I'm still shell-shocked from the Miami game. I realized today that I don't think I ever fully recovered.
