Ocean View Basketball Season Outlook - It’s almost here!

Well it’s that time again, Ocean View Basketball is right around the corner! Can the Seahawks put together another championship run? I’ll discuss prospects, development, and the chances at a State Title.

Ocean View Football Preview-OV @ Saddleback HS

Well the season is dwindling down, and the senior’s season has basically gone down the wrong road. A 3-5 record, with 2-5 Division 1 talent players is something to sneeze at.

So here is the situation: Ocean View is an astonishing 0-4 in league, 3-5 on the season. Ocean View has been outscored by a seemingly small margin of 24 points. The talent has shown flashes of capability, but the lack of sufficient coaching and playcalling has dragged them down. The Seahawks were poised to end massive losing streaks against conference powerhouses Segerstrom and Westminster, but fell short either on 2-Minute drills, or late game-planning on defense and special teams. The Seahawks outplayed Santa Ana, but was out-coached, and didn’t make adjustments to screen passes; eventually setting new records for the Saints. Against Orange, the team never got it going, period.

So do I predict a stunning turn of events? I don’t think I’m in position to say that I can. I know that Ocean View has the severe talent edge over Saddleback, but can the “misplaced” (I say that with the most possible gratitude and graciousness allowed on this blog) players put up a road victory? I’m not entirely sure.

Satisfied


(AP Photo/Francis Specker)
Well I’m satisfied. I was extremely nervous this morning; my dilemma was over the consistency of Kevin Prince and the Bruin offense. Today, Norm Chow and company really did a number on the UW Secondary today racking up a breakthrough 455 total yards, another benchmark performance for the rising Bruins. Box Score here. The theme today; Aggressiveness

BN Podcast - UW Week

Ryan and I just finished, IMO, our best podcast yet. John from UWDawgPound joins us. He has some great points about the Huskies, and where they stand right now. Here is the widget:

Thursday Tid-Bits

Thursday Summary: UW

Well it's getting closer to homecoming. This game ought-to-be fun though. Again just tidbits until tomorrow, but still
more formulated.

Something that I found important this week is the idea that Neuheisel and Co. are preparing for Locker... Even if he doesn't play. The Good News is that Ronnie Fouch is their back up, and he isn't on the same level as the past 8 QB's that UCLA has played (Pre-Crompton Rebirth Though). The Bad News is that Locker is one of the biggest playmakers in the Nation; He's a faster Tim-Tebow with great mechanics and strength, and he is looking like he is ready to go. The Worse news, Locker is good enough to be a decent pocket passer, so mobility shackles aren't going to get you out of the woods (also, Sark hasn't had the privelage of working with a mobile QB; and his playcalling hasn't helped exploit his strengths to a full degree).

On offense, UCLA seems to be jumping the gun right now, but that's just my opinion. There is no evidence that the Fresh Prince can have any consistency coming in to this week, but I have a feeling that the motto this week was to keep consistent. Sounds like a plan huh?

The UCLA running game will really have to step up the game. They have played some great running defenses, but have shot themselves in the foot time after time. If there was ever a week to get going; it's right here.

The team needs to set the goal of 4-0 to end this season. Unlike seasons past, this cause is definately within reach. All of these teams; IMO are beatable... Even for UCLA. 7-5 not only locks your bowl game down, you get unbelievable momentum going into the recruiting season and post-season.

Holy-

What a way to start off the season. UCLA wins... In dramatic fashion, against lowly Concordia, 62-61. From what I have read. The game was a mess, and the bipolar Bruins have some things to iron out. Analysis soon... Just got back from DC.. Really tired

13-9

Wow

I almost forgot! UCLA Plays Concordia in their opening home exhibition at Pauley Pavilion. Should be a fun blowout.

Locker Update

UW QB Jake Locker still questionable for the game, but Sark says it's optimistic.

On homecoming, UCLA, who will be wearing their 1967 throwbacks, looks to earn their first conference win against the Huskies.

Welcome!

Hey everyone, I'd like to formally welcome you all to my new blog, ucla13usc9's Sports blog, in which I will be randomly analyzing the world of college football and/or basketball throughout their respective seasons.

FAQ
What is your name?
Josh
Why is your name ucla13usc9? Is it because UCLA sucks and never beats USC?
-No, it is actually because it cost USC a National Championship in 2006, proving that the underdog can beat a dominant team, which was exactly what happened in that game. Also, if you should bother me about this, I will laugh and point to the 8 game winning streak the proceeded the Dorrell years.

How did you get entangled in UCLA?
-I was born at UCLA medical center, and I have only missed 2 home/away games in my life (both of them this year). So yep, I've seen UCLA lose and win... mostly lose, throughout my life.

Do you have a bias towards UCLA?
-Duh, but I'm what you call a realist. On USC week, at least for a few more years, I won't be saying how UCLA is going to dominate etc. I will approach it as strictly as possible. Sounds like a plan eh? I won't go off on you should I disagree with you though, if that's what you mean.

How did you get involved in Football and Coaching?
-During my sophomore year in high school, I tore my calf dropping back to pass, then went back in (like an idiot) and tore it further, crippling me. I can still walk, but I can't run for very long without my calf swelling. ANYWAYS, I was doodling some plays on the way to a game while I was out, the coach saw me writing those, and low-and-behold, we ran them! Turns out those plays ended up tripling the offensive output (80 yards) in 3 plays! Pretty cool huh? Someday, I plan on attending the USSA some day in the footsteps of Mike Leach.
