After UCLA beat Alabama in an OT thriller, their athletic director, Matin Jarmond, had a message for Peter Burns.

You gotta love an AD who isn’t afraid to talk some smack when one of his team’s is going through a dream run. UCLA is doing just that, and Martin Jarmond must be having a hell of a time.

As for Peter Burns, bad take there man. You have to know that this is March Madness, and anything can happen on any given day.

UCLA will take on Michigan in the Elite Eight, where they will once again be a heavy underdog. It seems like Martin Jarmond is out looking to give out receipts to anyone who isn’t giving his team a shot.
