You joke, but I heard Neuheisel on his Full Ride show talking about visiting Boise St (I guess he has a kid there?), and popping in on Harsin. He took him to the practice facility, and in prep for a humid game (not sure if it was this one), he said it was like a sauna in there. So maybe they were better prepared

You get on a boat and they take you to diving destinations to dive.
During your surface intervals (the breaks between scuba dives when your body recovers from breathing compressed air under the pressure of the sea depths), they feed you meals, travel to new destinations, and provide you with accommodations for sleep.
Then when the time comes, you dive again.
I’m sure someone does this out of generosity but in my experience it is generally done for monetary compensation.

The Channel Islands have some of the best diving in the world.  It’s where I learned.  Absolutely spectacular kelp forests.  Yes, it appears the boat was engulfed quickly and the crew just happened to be on deck or in the wheelhouse, where they wouldn’t be trapped.  Just an awful situation and one that will haunt the entire crew for the rest of their lives.

This is the equivalent of malpractice. There is no excuse for putting last night's shit stain on the field when you are a top tier school like UCLA.  They have every fucking CA recruiting advantage, location, education...  and they were beat soundly by a second tier school from Ohio. And it wasn't just bad QB play, they were beaten across the board.
No disrespect to Cincy, seemingly well coached with kids that play hard. Â I'm just baffled at UCLA. Â OK, they went through Neuhiesel, Mora and now Kelly - shitty coaches that (ahem) a few other programs have had to go through to find the right coach. Â But those programs still recruited relatively well during those transitions.Â
As I said, I'm baffled (like that word).

Say what you will about Mora, but he routinely put together top 10-15 classes.  If he hadn’t gone through a brutal divorce (his own doing as he cheated on his wife), he could have real,y turned things around.  As it is, he got a lot of money donated to the program.  But yes, there is no reason we shouldn’t be recruiting at a top 10 level every year.  Pisses all of us off.

I’m sorry @Sbbruin. I take full responsibility.

On a different note, never bet on a chip Kelly led team. Ever. Under any circumstances.Â
I blame you for everything.

That's what we thought last year. Sometimes it turns out ok, especially when the loss is OOC.
No. We are spending like the big boys.  Our facilities are second to none.  Our coach is supposed to be all world.  And we still suck.  The pain is more than I can bear.  Honestly. I have invested so much emotional capital into this team.  For nothing.  It’s fucking brutal.

Bad boat fire off of LA
in Daily Texan
There were apparently a couple of standard extinguishers in the bunk area, but my guess is the flames weren't down there, at least not initially. It was all happening above them, making escape impossible. Electrical system knocked out. Pitch black. Smoke everywhere. Fucking terrifying to think about.
