Well done! Bravo!!!! BEAT FRESNO!

I would like to thank all you guys @ DD for all the hard work you have done for the past two years. I have been loyal reader for about 1 1/2 years and am going to miss all the witty posts, rumors and news. It’s a great feeling to know that our football program is in much better shape than it was when this site was launched and I do believe that you guys had a hand in it. I am quite certain that the new staff will bring our program to the prominence it ones held and also place UCLA as a whole in the national spotlight.

Once again, my sincere gratitude to all you guys @ DD.

S…

Thank you DD. You have served faithfully in this effort. Don’t let anyone ever tell you that your effort did not influence change. It did! It changed the conversation, it changed the focus, it changed us, and ultimately, it changed the Coach. Thank you for providing all of us a place to release our frustration and for us to feel as though we matter beyond just our ticket purchase. Thank you for a job well done.

Dump Dorrell I am sure the Gods are smiling down upon you __I think you give way too much credit to danny-boy __ with only one win (usc) . . dorrell would still be our head coach ___ danny-boy had to do what he did __ also dorrell will never be a head coach, he does-not have the mental make-up, to do it __ he is not the leader-type

Thanks DumpDorrell for the excellent reporting. Your efforts made a huge difference. It was the best (and only) soap opera I have followed. U-C-L-A f’SC.

You asnwered the questions all activists face-”If not now, when? If not me, who?”

There will probably never be a place for you in the UCLA Hall of Fame but, you will always have a place in the hearts of Bruin fans.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Let’s hope that in 3 years we don’t have to see a NixNeuheisal.com spring up. My gut tells me we won’t have to worry about that! Go Bruins!!

Thanks DD, in my frustration with the performance of our football team over the past few years I needed somewhere to turn. This site gave us all an outlet to vent and share with likeminded fans. We’ve won a great victory and things are looking up, Go Bruins!

I just want to echo the other sentiments. You kept a clear head, and kept your focus where it belonged. You kept up a relentless argument that could not be refuted because it was fact based. You didn’t get distracted by all the BS that was thrown around. And you not only took action, you made it clear that the rest of us could either vote for business as usual or take action ourselves to vote for change.

Thanks more than words can say, DD! This site helped give me hope while moping through the dark days of unimaginative football.

Fantastic the way I got more relevant and timely news here (and on BN) than any other source.

Now that we’re on the right track, I think I’ll go introduce myself to my family . . .

Thank you DD, I have enjoyed all of the updates. I like all of you want our football program back to National Prominence and success as in the decade of the 90’s when we defeated our crosstown rival SC many times. UCLA football was exciting with potent offenses.Now, we have a new coach who will rejuvenate all staff, athletes, alumni, and fans. Thanks for all your efforts DD, you will be missed. GO BRUINS!!!!

Thank you DD crew for providing the information and forum with which much needed positive change could germinate and finally come to fruition for our football program. Though I have not posted in the six months that I’ve been a faithfull reader of DD, I have greatly enjoyed the posts and comments. On numerous occasions, I e-mailed both the Chancellor and the AD in order to voice my opinion as a Bruin alumnus and long time football season ticket holder. My personal choice, Coach Neuheisel, has now been selected. As I walk amongst the groups of fellow tailgaiters on my way into the Rose Bowl to cheer on our Bruins this coming Fall, I’ll look into the faces of the fans and wonder, do I know you from DD? Thank you everyone for everything. GO BRUINS!!!

Thanks for your invaluable service to frustrated Bruin football fans everywhere!

Thanks again DD! You are a true change agent. I’m forever grateful–if it weren’t for you Dorrell would still be HC, we’d be embarking on another 6-7 season. Go Bruins!! Go Buckeyes!!

I’d be remiss in not thanking TroJan Simers again for publishing your site address in his column. I’m sure I’m not the only one who got here because of him.

DD has been a shining light in the despair of this past season in UCLA football.

Adios Amigos! BruinBuckeye (Proud DD47 member)

you fought the good fight

DD thask for many hours of informative pleasure that turned into an actual interacting operative venture. Without your site I will likely have to go back to playing on-line poker to waste away my golden years. But likely I will come out of retirement and start working again to be able to afford those season tickets after the price hike comes.

Any word on Norm Chow since the Titans lost today. Actually his offense was very UN-Chow today and Nerd Turner made a fool out of Jeff FU$CHER.

Thank you DD for all your efforts in getting UCLA football back on the right track. I also wish Karl Dorrell nothing but success if and when he lands on his feet. It is now full steam ahead and thanks for all the sites to check out regarding all things Bruin. Go Bruins and looking forward to the 2008 season.

Thanks for everything DumpDorrell! GO BRUINS!!!

DD.

Thank you for your commitment to excellence, your hard work,time and money, you will be missed.

GO BRUINS

!Muchas Gracias! Hasta la vista…

NewWeasel = right choice.Congrats Bruins! Fight On SC!

Congrats are in order, no matter what the source.
Chargers clobber Titans. Chow goes to Westwood?

Thanks DD I jump on board late, but bette late than never. wish you sucess in everything you do, and for everyone else ” have a great 2008″

Sincerely Alex Martinez

Great job DD. I only discovered your excellent website recently. It was great to hear what other people had to say and also great to have a venue to share our thoughts.
Thanks again!

Good luck and good night.

Who’s got the rights to the DUMPDORRELL.COM book and film rights. It’s a great story. The first and maybe the last of it’s kind. Wouldn’t we all love to know what transpired behind the scenes. WOW! Bob Stiles

Thanks to everyone who contributed to DD. I loved it all. It was the first thing I read after my work day. Best of all, we won and got the coach that was the perfect fit for UCLA. It would be great if we could all get together before the games at the Bowl and knock down a few beers and talk about all the Bruin good times.

norm chow is expected to be announced as the new OC at UCLA on Tuesday

Gary? how shure are you about Chow being the O.C? anyone else have any word on this as well????

Thank you DD for the work you have put into this effort over the past 2 years. You did so much to make the case that Dorrell was the wrong man to coach our bruins, and in such a clear and iron clad way. Your efforts got the attention of the media, and provided UCLA alums and fans the weapons to advance the cause to those outside the loop in a clear, methodical manner. The cause may be at an end, but your devotion will always be remembered.

Thank You, I will be able to ware my UCLA hat with pride again. My Dump Dorrell T-Shirt is a classic only to be talked about not worn.

Dump Dorrell, Thank you so much for advocating for UCLA football and the first step of firing Karl Dorrell.

Your site and effort was a major reason for his firing, and the subsequent hiring of an experienced Head Coach.

Now UCLA has a committment to excellence in football, not mediocrity.

Thank you again for helping to rescue UCLA football,

drbob

DD….As a famous man once said, “The paper burns, but the words fly free.”

Indeed, the words recorded herein will forever fly free.

Thank you.

Well done! I can’t wait to see Coach Neuheisel bring UCLA into the hunt for Pac-10, and national championships. GO BRUINS!

Neuheisel is a great choice!! I just hope that everyone gives him a chance. Next year will be tough, as he will have a very young and inexperienced team. Let’s make sure our expectations for next season are not unreasonable…
Go Bruins!

Excellent and dedicated effort DD!! You posted sensible POV’s at all times, and backed up your comments with facts. What a refreshing change. The mission is accomplished at last and now I am confident that UCLA will build on the once proud tradition in football and be the best in town, and a BCS contender under RN’s leadership and management.

I also echo your comments about KD. I hope, if he wants to coach, that he goes to a less stressed environment, say a D-II school, and develop his craft and success record, learn the shortcomings that are all too evident on national TV and in front of a large audience, and who, knows, he may return to the national ranks one day.

I’ve never posted on a blog before, but I just had to say Thank You! I never found it necessary to post here because you guys pretty much stated my feelings exactly. (I had actually coined the term “Commitment to Mediocrity” myself well before I heard it here.) I’m sick of this loser mentality regarding Bruin football, so this was more like a support group for me, a long-suffering Bruin football fan. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I would gladly trade 5 of those basketball championships for just 1 in football in my lifetime! (I was born well after 1954!)

I would have preferred June Jones, but I’m thoroughly impressed with the excitement Neuheisel has already brought! What a great time to be a Bruin! Thanks again!

I want to thank D.D. for a good job and all of my fellow Bruins for the fight we fought and for us all,for coming together and showing that there actually are die-hard Ucla fans and that teams like Michigan and Ohio State aren’t the only schools that have loyal fans!!!! now we need to make shure and sell-out The Rose Bowl and make it one of the tuffest places to play in the nation. Usc does it,so can we!!!! Nuehiesel is already changing the perception of our football program. now,we as fans,have to change the perception that us fans only go to Ucla football games when we are winning and not losing. we should be able to sell out all our home games and start becoming the 12th Bruin! What do you say fellow Bruins!!!??? for us die-hard Bruin fans,we are the 12th Bruin!!!! what do you think my fellow Bruins? catchy or not? give me your thoughts? I might have shirts printed for our home games.

Thanks to DD for the opportunity to allow Bruin fans to come together and voice their opinions here, and thanks to the other bloggers who made the experience an enjoyable one.

Go Bruins!

I just want to thank the WHOLE Bruin Nation for coming together on this and especially DumpDorrell.com for all their efforts to bringing UCLA Football back to it’s road to DOMINANCE. I sincerly believe this site, had a lot to do with turning the Program around as well as the Boosters.

I’m going to now be a season holder for the first time now, and I can say that for the first time in 5 yrs that I ‘m truly exited about UCLA Football once again. Hopefully I can see you guys next year @ the Rose Bowl.

I wish CF started tomorrow, but we’ll just have to wait. Well goodbye BN and see you @ the game. For all you TrOJans that visited this site(i.e Andre?) a change in the wind is coming, and is heading to Westwood.

If the head people at DD ever create another site of support(which it should) please email me with the address site.

Goodbye my Friends.

BruWIN your Life…Don’t SCum it!

Thanks for all Your hard work and HAPPY NEU YEAR!!

GO BRUINS!!!

Next year will be great __ we don’t have seniors or experience, but we do have the talent __ all these kids needed was real coaching __ rick-baby will show you, what good coaching can do __ the kids will finish next year, no worse than 10 wins _ biggest problem is Q-B . . . . maybe the D-B’s BUT a Good Def. Line will negate that _ we should have a Good D-Line _ so we get at least 10 wins __ the kids will show you that bad coaching is almost impossible to over-come __

It ain’t easy turning a ship around. Thank you for inhaling all that seawater for us. There’s no doubt in my mind that you and BN had a significant effect on our new course. Congratulations and sincere thanks.

go bruins!!!!

yeah, happy Neu year.

Go Bruins!!!!!!

ok, this is the last post. But just for fun,
did anyone post Rick’s record vs Pete Carroll?

>did anyone post Rick’s record vs Pete Carroll?

I believe he is 1-1 vs. Pete Carroll, and is 4-1 vs. Mike Bellotti.

Thanks,genius, sounds pretty respectable to me!

Norm Chow is now available!

Wow!!! The bestest, most fantasticist, absolute GOD of a coach, Norm Chow, just got his ass dumped.

Well, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.

Get Norm Chow now !!!

OMG, if we could only get Chow….

Neu gets Chow!!! It’s official. We now have the best coaching staff in the conference!!! Incredible. This site was about bringing excellence back to UCLA football. We KNEW it was possible, it was only a matter of choice. There were so many objections to this simple desire it was mind numbing. Dan Guerrero made the right choice, and now we have Neu, Chow, and Walker … the triumvirate. UCLA Football is back!!

http://uclabruins.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/012108aab.html

I’ve died and gone to heaven!!!! ATP , YOU WERE RIGHT ,I WAS WRONG ,Rick is the right man for the job . Now were gonna see something special over the next few years with this awesome group of coaches . Great coordinators and a bad ass o-line coach , WOW !

Yahoo!!!! Welcome back to LA Norm, and way to go Rick!! Neu has only been on the job a few weeks and he’s already put together a stellar coaching staff. This is such a welcome emotional lift after another dismal end to Ohio State’s (and UCLA’s) football seasons.

Now I can’t wait for fall. Go Bruins!!

Buckeye Bruin (now doing an 8-clap)

Congratulations! What a great move in getting Norm Chow has OC. Can’t wait for Spring practice!

Go Bruins!

Neueheisel,Walker and Chow!!?? Un-effing believable!!! this is the best coaching staff in Ucla football history! yes Bruin fans its real and I can’t believe it! Guerrero should get a huge raise!!! Ucla football will now be a national powerhouse and is exciting again!!! time to add to the 54 National Championship trophy! Ucla Fight!Fight!Fight!

Good Job guys

We still have two bums at QB. Chow cannot help these two bums. We need better QBs.

Now that Dorrell has been hired by the Dolphins, I wonder if UCLA will have a reduced payout to him instead of the $2 mil they have to pay him in the next two years?

We’re getting a five star JUCO QB named Kraft, started some games for his Dad at San Diego State before following him to MSAC.

Yes, that is Kevin Craft, who is the son of Tom Craft, the former SDSU HC. I believe he played at Mt. Sac. in Walnut. Kevin was headed to Hawaii to play for June Jones and then possibly SMU before Rick and Norm Chow called him and changed his mind. Should be some good competition at the QB position next season.
