UCLA fans do not have a link with the football team after the list

From his seat inside the Algiant Stadium at the end of last week, Jorge Morales surrounded itself with Ucla Football Gameday Essentials.

During the first series of the game, the Lifelong Fanch number 15 witnessed the UCLA defense boom at Nevada Las Vegas Backfield. Morales asked about the identity of this fast, falling edge and looked at it. Anthony Jones was transferred from Michigan State.

Later, Morales 3 saw the coverage and started another search. It was a defensive defense Robert Stafford III, a transfer from Miami (Florida).

Current about the start of the attacks, Morales returned to his phone again. A group that included three new beginners in the left processing Cortland Ford, Eugene Brooks and Julian Armila guards – discovered all transportation operations.

“I didn’t get to know any of the numbers,” Morales said.

A similar confusion played in the living room in San Diego in Ted Ziegler. When watching the game on its 65 -inch TV, the Hardcore Bruins fan also withdrew the list on his phone to return to it ready, alternating between one screen and the other.

“This adds another dimension to watch the game that I was not looking for,” Ziegler said. “I just feel not interested.”

It is difficult to be a fan of Ucla these days for reasons that exceed the team’s score 0-2. Few get to know more than a handful of names in a loaded menu with 57 new players, including 37 transport in their first season with the team.

The starting days that are launched with Bruins, which were in the program for two or three years, may have gone to the appearance of New Year’s Day for a suspended team in a long time.

All new faces are a function of unlimited transportation in university football – Jones has been attending his fourth college for several years, after previous stations in the state of Michigan, Indiana and Origon – a need to re -store the list after Broken lost every beginning in defense and seven in a crime.

The University of California in Los Angeles is barely the only team that suffers from such huge sales, although the evacuation of responsibility has only little to reduce the growing separation, some fans feel watching a team that can only be recognized because of its military uniform.

“Football has changed in the college,” said Boinos coach Desicon Foster. “It is not the same game when she played, it is not the same game that was when training started and evolved every day, mainly.”

For the Foster team, these changes included a strange shortage of marketing new arrivals who are supposed to want to build their brands in an era that is paid for their name, image and similar.

From the beginning of the training camp, Foster adheres to the arrival of the media. Journalists were allowed to monitor the expansion and individual training and a handful of plays that involve a crime facing the defense – and even these glimpses of the team’s periods have been eliminated in recent weeks. Ratius interviews related to players and employees, including eight new assistant coaches, have not been rejected, but were ignored.

“It is difficult,” Foster said.

So where does that fans leave? Some say they are watching a lot of habit, especially since they know a little about the team they have long loved.

“You haven’t had a chance to find out who the players are, who looked well in practice-you didn’t know any of these things. So, I do not know this every Saturday day,” said Davirian, a graduate at the University of California, Los Angeles, and a ticket holder in the University of California season in Los Angeles.

Among the new players, Deverian developed an early fondness in the season, which is the future of the holes, Mickey Matthews, the back of the back Niko Eyeva, and the run of Anthony Woods.

“He is a talented running,” said Davirian of Woods, who arrived at the University of California in Los Angeles after a previous stop in Utah and Idahu. “It needs to get the ball more.”

But how many new players will appear more than a veil like Bruins? Iamaleava said in July that he hopes to go to the US Football Association after this season, and will exhaust up to 33 players with their eligibility at the end of the season, which led to another large group of transportation operations.

Foster said that he does not want to decrease strongly in the transportation portal in future seasons, which requires the wide retention of players and success in recruiting high schools.

“If you can get men and develop them, she understands your culture, do you know?” Foster said. “But when you get new youth and do not have them as long as you want, they are still learning culture, as you know?”

Travis Fuller, a graduate of the University of California in Los Angeles, said he felt close to the team that originated in watching stars such as Kadi McNeulus, Marsidis Lewis and Drew Olson because they spent several years in blue and gold, and developed into widely known figures.

Now, a high rotational rate is doubled due to the lack of success in a program that has not won much since coach Jim Mora Bruins led to the 10-3 season in 2014 while recording attendance records in Rose Ball.

In contrast to what could be a low crowd on Friday night when the University of California in Los Angeles New Mexico (1-1) faces Rose Ball, given the meeting of traffic on the week, a deduction from the Mountain West conference and a group of unidentified Broind.

Lifelong Scott Detki, who admitted it was a more separation from Bruins than usual, said he would be pushed to get to know a successful team.

“I will be more connected if the team actually wins, because that would inspire me to be like,” who is this man? Where did he come from? “It almost leads to more questions about what their story is.”

Then again, there may be a bullish direction for all this uncommon. With Bruins at 23 points against UNLV at the end of last week, Morales found some comfort in knowing a little about his favorite team.

“Maybe it made it a little easier to watch because I could not get angry with any of the players,” said Morales, laughing. “I don’t know who he is, so I don’t know who I feel upset.”
