The Johnny Rah Rah thread got me thinking...we should sticky a thread this season and add funny posts to it from other boards. Flames, melts, stupid comments...whatever. There is no shortage of stupidity on the Internet. I'll kick it off with a gem from Bruinzone.com

I drove 50 miles south to SLC with my Son and my Brother, paid 50 bucks for my seat among a sea of red shirts and all I heard prior to the game from Ute fans was "Hey, take it easy on us today will ya". I was feeling slightly embarrassed as not one Ute fan felt they had a chance to win and only hoped that we wouldn't rout them. But talk about embarrassment, when the game ended I just wanted to crawl under a rock, take off my BRUIN blue and try and figure out how to sneak out of that stadium.
I have never felt so low, so humiliated or embarrassed in my life as we started the long 1/2 mile walk back to our car amid the hordes of red shirts, ready to suffer the the laughs, the finger pointing, the bashing and all the rest of the crap you suffer as the loser in any ball game.
Now comes the strange and the surprizing........Not one Ute fan said a word to us or laughed at us or would even look at us. It was as if we didn't even exist. It took me awhile to finally figure out what the heck was going on and what it seemed to be was that they were embarrassed for us. They felt so sorry for us that they couldn't bring themselves to the point of taunting or harassing us. Now how PATHETIC was that??? It made me feel even more ashamed of my blue shirt, UCLA football, KD, bringing my Son to his first UCLA football game or ever wanting to support this program again!! I'm mad as H*ll and I want something done!! I want KD to walk that 1/2 mile I had to walk and to feel how I felt. It felt like crap and still does. I live in Utah and so it still goes on. From my friends, from Ute fans,from the media and I DON"T like it!!
I hope that some of the players or coaches get a chance to read this so that they may feel just a little of the shame I felt last Sat leaving the game.
I don't profess to know what the answers are to our problems but somebody better find out what it is and fix it dang fast.
I won't go to another game soon but I will watch and listen as I still and will always love the BRUINS. I just don't know when I will ever feel like pulling on that blue shirt again.
