UCLA whistle-blowers

After getting called for 22 fouls and having their second-best player foul out, I guess we can dispel the “UCLA gets all the calls” talk at least for one game.

If the UCLA Bruins should win the NCAA championship this year, it would only seem appropriate that the trophy presenter be wearing a striped shirt with a whistle around his neck.

One axiom I repeat to anyone who complains about officiating is that over the course of a game the bad calls will even out. So, because I caught only the final three minutes of the UCLA-Texas A&M; game, can someone please confirm that A&M; got every call for the first 37 minutes?

As I die-hard Bruins fan, I was ecstatic over UCLA’s last-second heroics over a deserving Aggies team.

As a true sports fan I prefer to see my teams win fair and square. No tarnish or controversy, thank you.

From last Sunday’s photo Josh Shipp undoubtedly fouled Donald Sloan. But of course, according to Bill Plaschke, “there was no way any official would make that call.”

Really? Why not? It was a foul, wasn’t it?

Enough already! Why is it that every time UCLA wins a game it is attributed to some phantom missed call? Missed calls are a part of every sport and rarely decide the outcome. To read The Times, you would think that UCLA is incapable of winning without divine intervention. How many games are they going to have to win before we can say that they are, just maybe, a good team and treat them as such?

Dear Stan Love,

Please have more kids. Then give them middle names like Kareem, Magic and Kobe. Then send them down to Westwood.

Thank you in advance.
