In the film Apocalypse Now, Martin Sheen’s Captain Willard comes upon a remote outpost defending a bridge. Hoping to confer with the commander, he instead finds a delirious state of chaos. A machine gunner fires heavy caliber rounds into the night while trading taunts with an unseen member of the Viet Cong.
“Who’s the commanding officer here?” Willard asks. “Ain’t you?” returns the bewildered gunner. After being awakened by his compatriots, “The Roach,” an apparently stoned soldier with a tiger-striped grenade launcher, advises that the VC is close. He propels a grenade off into the distance and the taunts of the enemy are silenced. “Hey, soldier. Do you know who’s in command here?” asks Willard. “Yeah,” answers the Roach before walking away.
That scene typifies the vibe right now on at UCLA, in the worst possible way. Jarmond The Roach confused stoned AD waits the VC attack from the Board of Regents while being taunted by the VC Governor of California. Spare Tire Neck Kelley the field commander smokes a big bowl of hash and starts trashing his players. Everyone know he should have just been an NCO.
There is a sense that anything can happen with UCLA's bankrupt status--anything.
