"Feel free to follow their "Blue Out" quips with your own rim shot: "More like a blowout ..." "Gonna be a black and blue out for the bruins [sic]." "They must be tarping the whole thing." Others pointed out that Associated Students UCLA was selling white T-shirts and that Penn State also wears blue, meaning that its large throng of fans expected at the game could make it a "Blue Out," all right - of a darker shade."
"Adding to the hilarity factor in some people's minds was the departure this week of a UCLA offensive coordinator who had never previously called plays a little more than two weeks after the Bruins dismissed the head coach who had never previously been a head coach before last season. Oh, and UCLA has not held a lead in its four games, 16 quarters and 240 minutes of football this season."
UCLA enters the game 0-4 overall and 0-1 in conference play, having not held a lead in four games, 16 quarters and 240 minutes. The matchup is designated a "Blue Out" at the Rose Bowl against No. 7 Penn State, prompting online mockery and pun-filled taunts. Associated Students UCLA sold white T-shirts, and Penn State's blue-clad fan base could create a darker-shaded "Blue Out." The Bruins experienced a coaching shakeup: the offensive coordinator who had never previously called plays departed this week, shortly after the dismissal of a head coach who had been a first-time head coach last season. The game will be nationally televised by CBS and the Bruins are expected to have a largely intact roster.
