Joey, your right, but what were you thinking was going to happen? whats your point here? you called every UCLA fan an immature complainer after the got decimated. how could you possibly not think that bruins would be sore about that game? Would you want some to post that on Trojan Wire if the bruins had won? I think its pretty hasty and far too rash to say that Bruin Nation does not allow Trojan’s to post on their site. They do but not when it’s rubbing sandpaper on a brand new wound! I think you went too far with your extrapolation. In the end, remember it’s a pro bruin website, thats why it’s called bruin nation. It gives Pro Bruin News, just Like Trojan wire gives pro Trojan news.

Murshed Zaheed aka Nestor is a government employee and if you google his name you will find it is many believe he moderates the BN on our (fellow taxpayers) dime. I have been an SC fan my whole life, but before being subjected to the BN banhammer; I usually favored the bRUINS against OOC foes, and had great admiration for the Bball accomplishments. However, since reading the hate filled fan posts on BN have come to fully appreciate the fUCLA attitude and now embrace it.

Nestor and his ilk are the bane of sports commentary. I don’t know why they bother with allowing comments at all when they edit out anything that doesn’t echo their viewpoint. I can’t stand to hear their negativism and stupidity any longer. I think it comes from Nestor (and many of his cronies) being involved in politics/lawyers. Now I have many friends who are are law/politics, but there is always the guy that is so extreme it makes you uncomfortable to be around. Their cause is righteous, they cannot allow any conflicting opinions.

As a UCLA alum, I understand that hating SC is supposed to be FUN and when they come to Pauley or the Rose Bowl, I hope we all have a good time yelling insults at each other. More people need to stand up to the jerks on both sides who take things too far.

Yea, I wrote a bit longer response that didn’t get accepted, and I don’t feel like writing it out again, but I will paraphrase.

Basically, its not a very fun site to visit, and the only reason I do is for news I might not otherwise get from major news sources.

The blog is bitter, facist, and a complete misrepresentation of the average hardcore bruin fan.

Bruins Nation is not a fun place to be, and I have a ton of fun on other blogs that have way worse teams than UCLA basketball or football.

UCLA fans deserve better, something more open and with more humility. Something where all opinions may be served. I was disgusted with the blanket statement that anyone would be banned following the recent USC-UCLA game for even attempting to look anyway but an extremist viewpoint at what USC did.

Hopefully, another UCLA blog on SBN can compete with them because I am simply not satisfied with the bitter and rude nature on that blog. I don’t participate because I just do not want to engage this particular group of UCLA fans.

Heh. Welcome to the club. I got banned three years ago for having the audacity to say that I believed Karl Dorrell would be able to coach the Bruins to a victory over USC in what would end up being the 13 – 9 game.

Yep. Banned for predicting a Ucla win. On a Ucla website. Against the Ucla arch-rivals. My crime? Apparently it was saying positive things about Karl Dorrell, in opposition to the strict party line over there. And brother, do those people not tolerate dissent.

Bruins Nation is a running joke among the other college blogs, more a punch line or boogeyman than anything else. They are what they are, a very vocal and bitter pack of angry children, wallowing in their own hatred and completely blinded by their own (growing) rage.

That’s hilarious. I guess I see their point that it’s a site for their fans and they don’t need you to rain on their already rainy parade, but seriously, they banned you? A little pathetic.

Hi Joey,

I would like to say that the Bruins blog reaction to you came as a surprise but of course it didn’t. When a person is mired in the mediocrity known as UCLA football, it serves them well to A) engage in revisionist history so they can make themselves feel better about their sorry program and B) Resort to censorship to preserve and protect their shrinking fan base from drying up completely.

You are fair, despite your allegiance to USC and my only regret is that you wasted time trying to reach out to their unenlightened asses.
