Quick Hits

John Doe is acting on Wizards of Waverly Place... sigh... very depressing [what I wouldn't give to: A) get John Doe better acting gigs and B) get Jack to stop watching Wizards (over and over and over... via DVR) and After the Bell]

Even as BB season is wrapping up (Pac10 tourney this weekend)... I can feel the pull of football... and things are looooooking goooooood... the OC Register had this to say about Prince (our redshirt freshman QB):

WHY HE’S ONE TO WATCH: It wasn’t simply injuries that eventually led to Prince assuming the No. 2 spot on the depth chart a year ago. UCLA was hoping he might be its next quarterback. As in now. Although Prince was not ready to lead the team in 2008, he demonstrated in practice he is probably better than the person doing so. He simply didn’t play last year because it wasn’t worth it. He will have every opportunity this year in what can be considered a fairly wide open competition.

The Bruins have depth and experience at receiver, meaning Prince’s primary responsibility will be to get them the ball, not the other team. (See Kevin Craft.) If Prince knows the playbook and can remain confident in lieu of Coach Rick Neuheisel’s constructive criticism, one of Craft’s biggest strengths, the job might be his heading into summer.

Sweet... but sweeter is this report:

the Cincinnati Bengals are interested in former UCLA quarterback Patrick Cowan and were arranging to come to Los Angeles to watch him work out.

Pat Cowan is a freaking WARRIOR... not the most skilled, but he's got that THING... hope he gets a shot.

The Facebook thing is a growing addiction... and I'm close to closing this down and going only there... but that would feel ... I don't know, showy. It's weird.

One thing I will NOT do is twitter, however.

And this sums up my vibe on that...



Of course, there's always this sinking suspicion about FB as well...
