It's Another Thursday Night Open Thread - Come Watch the Burning!

It's been a pretty quiet week so far here at CN - I guess that's what you get when you're playing a team that's still been blasted this season. 

Tonight, it's UCLA vs Arizona on ESPN at 8:00 PM. 

Really, there's no reason to be watching this game. Seriously. 

The best part about it is the sadism involved in hoping that Ricky might get beat by a team that's already fired their coach and realizing - if you get beat by a team that's fired their coach, what's that say about your future? 

What I don't understand in all this is - what did UCLA expect? Neuheisel has had a level of disaster every where he's coached, leaving Colorado in NCAA sanctions, getting fired at Washington for lying to his athletic director - what the hell was UCLA thinking when they hired someone of... well, honestly, questionable moral standing when he wasn't that good a coach to begin with? 

But - tonight you can watch it all burn down while Ricky throws his arms up and says "I can't be the only one who cares!" again and again. That... should be fun. A lot of fun actually.
