UCLA Schedule Makers Are Quite Clever

So, with the UCLA men’s basketball team playing Pepperdine tonight at Pauley Pavillion, it would seem logical for the administration to schedule the annual “Beat SC” football bonfire for another date as not to conflict with the hoops contest. (Yes, I do realize that a Beat SC bonfire is oxymoronic.) But sadly, it doesn’t seem to be happening that way according to Bruins Nation.com:

The “planners” at UCLA scheduled our Beat $C* bonfire during tonight’s Ben Ball. According to the “What’s Bruin Blog” from the official site linked below, it is scheduled for tonight at 9:30 pm PST. Just a slight problem with that “scheduling.” The basketball game against Pepperdine tips off at 8:06 pm PST. Seriously who did this scheduling? Did that person have any kind of common sense? Heck of a job guys. You completely let down our football program by failing to generate any kind of interest around senior day (as evidenced by the joke attendance figures over the weekend). Can’t get scheduling of huge tourney games of non-revenue sports program right. And, now you pull this garbage. It’s like these guys are working OT to gin up bad karma for this weekend. The incompetency is beyond surreal. GO BRUINS

I understand that there may be a conflict with Thanksgiving Break coming later in the week, but in all seriousness, couldn’t they have just rescheduled the rally for another time? Wouldn’t 10:00 PM PST work just as easily? Wouldn’t Tuesday evening work as well too? I can come up with at least a dozen scenarios better than this one. But I probably shouldn’t be so critical anyway. After all, I’m just a silly little $C student that needs to realize that “UCLA is one of the finest academic institutions in all of the land”…yada, yada, yada…
