I was staring at SC and Pepperdine’s good wins:
SC—-UCLA, UCSB, Arizona
Pepperdine - Stanford, CSUN, tie TX a and M and UCLA
I think Pepp has the edge. A tie or win vs. SC enough.

Just out of curiosity in what manner could they protest that would be acceptable to you? If they look around and see social injustices and want to participate in a peaceful yet persistent movement to bring attention to what they see, why does it rankle you so much?
And why aren’t you directing your anger at the actual injustices that are occurring? How about every time you see someone kneeling you fire off an email to your local police department thanking them for their service and then asking what kind of diversity and defusion training they are doing? Or when you see a kneeler, email your local representative asking how they voted on the legislation that removes discrimination in home lending programs? Or ask how you can help support wage equality between races?
Use that anger to change the thing that the protests are about rather than just pound sand at the protest themselves.
And the notion that college kids aren’t aware enough to understand what they are protesting is asinine. It was through my college teammates that I first learned about systemic racism. To say it’s merely for social media suggests you severely underestimate college students. And McCullough at UCLA is very well spoken and knows the gravity of her choices. You all sound like angry old men cursing the sky for being blue.

She was one of those overrated kids in high school that unlike fine wine, has not improved with adulthood. She also spends a ton of time on her knees.

Washington schools coming to Socal this next week... big 4 way test. Will be very interesting to see if the hot starting Huskies are for real… And can Washington State recapture some of the magic they’ve shown in the past? Does USC get back on track to contend for a possible number one NCAA seed? And does UCLA find its footing And start marching toward the tournament with momentum?

I don't believe the average 20-year old athlete, at UCLA or any other institution at that level, has enough life experience to protest anything other than bad food on campus.

This match is a must win for both teams. A tie for the Waves could be detrimental to our chances of making the NCAA tournament. That loss to SLO looms large...
I watched the game. They did not get spanked. Stanford had most the ball and chances in first half, but UCLA turned it around in second half and looked dangerous, but Stanford D kept them from any grade A chances. It was a hard fought good match. Not a spanking.
Last time we played SC up north we buried them 5-0. Let's hope they forgot about that.

You still haven't called you pussy. You wish that your kid could get into a game to kneel.

You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. The clown is you. You have no idea what you were serving for clearly. And her grandfather actually fought in Vietnam and her uncle is 19 years in the Navy and has seen a lot of action. How about you? Keep your stupid opinions to yourself you mental slave.

Call me tough guy. You look like a bitch when all you can do is talk shit about my kid yet you are afraid to address me directly. God doesn't like ugly and your bitch ass is sounding like Medusa on the inside.

It must really suck that my kid lives a life that your underachiever will never live.

But why would you? You don't seem very bright so why would you know what anyone of color actually experiences? Your cracker I mean character is showing.

Don't try and rationalize with racist with small minds and smaller genitalia.
