UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel told Dan his passion bucket is still full. He says he's not embarrassed at all by his team this year, because they're in every game and the effort is always there. The only big problem is turnovers.
Neuheisel said the best team he saw so far this year is Oregon State. But the best team he's seen overall is USC on film preparing for this weekend's game.
Dan asked Neuheisel what he will tell his kids before this week's game against the Trojans. "This is why you go to UCLA," Neuheisel said. Neuheisel got Dan pretty amped with some pregame inspirational talk.
Neuheisel also said that the economy will force college football to search for new revenue streams, which would likely mean playoffs. As fans and alumni have to cut their spending, athletic department are going to have to do something. Neuheisel said playoffs are the "the most glaring" new revenue stream possible for schools.
Dan asked Neuheisel about Plaxico Burress carrying a gun. Neuheisel said when he was an assistant in the NFL, the league sends experts out to ever team to lecture them on firearms.
Neuheisel said that guns most often lead to negative things. He can't understand why any pro athlete would carry a gun."Deer hunting I understand, in the club I don't," Neuheisel said.
