Can’t say this season hasn’t been exciting

I heard that Universal Studios is replacing the Jurassic Park ride with a new roller coaster called the Dodgers Ride. It makes you feel a range of emotions from at times feeling very happy to moments of fear. At times it will make you feel so dizzy that you want to throw up. Richard Katz Los Angeles

It was only a few weeks ago that Dodgers fans were endlessly complaining about manager Dave Roberts, with the main gripe being that he didn’t have a clue when to take pitchers out or leave them in. But now that the Dodgers are finally on top in the NL West, it looks like Roberts knew what he was doing all along. The results are there for all the naysayers to see. Charles Reilly Manhattan Beach

After the sweep of Colorado, hopefully the Dodgers continue their winning ways. One thing though, Dodgers players: Please, please please, if you do win the NL West, act like you’ve been there before. You have! No need for a huge champagne party complete with goggles, just keep an eye on the prize, winning the World Series. Phillip Trujillo Ontario

Tough starts

So much for letting a high school senior be your quarterback. Perhaps the Trojans should consider going to 12-minute quarters for the rest of the season and insist on being able to invoke the mercy rule. They will need it. George M. Lewis Los Osos

Losing to Stanford is one thing, but being boat-raced by a mediocre Texas team is quite another. Suffice to say, the Trojans’ special teams were less than special. A blocked field goal for a touchdown, roughing the kicker and numerous punts that resembled my cat playing with yarn were simply embarrassing.

Looks like a long year for Troy, The only solace is UCLA is actually worse! Mark S. Roth Los Angeles

USC has again displayed that they have become a team that is able to compete only in a very weak Pac-12 South. They are nowhere near being a candidate for a national championship. USC is simply a finesse team with very poor offensive and defensive line play.

If this satisfies Lynn Swann and other Trojans fans, then you have the man you deserve. Bruce Olson Alta Loma

In case anyone is interested, Ed Orgeron’s 3-0 LSU Trojans, I mean Tigers, are now ranked No. 6 in the country after beating their second top-10 team of the year. Just sayin’. PJ Gendell Beverly Hills

And the Bruins ...

Now that Mr. Robinson has let us all know that he has graduated from the LaVar Ball School of Stage Dads, Chip Kelly can get on with the real work of building the program. I’m sure JT Daniels’ dad feels exactly the same way about Clay Helton.

The difference is that JT’s dad would be right. William David Stone Beverly Hills

After frustratingly watching UCLA fall to 0-3, I immediately wondered if the Bruins could contact Under Armour to create a new slate of interchangeable uniform designs. If UCLA incorporated five more helmets, six more jerseys and four more pants in myriad colors into its uniform scheme, maybe the Bruins would be psychologically inspired to play better.

It apparently worked for Chip Kelly and Nike for Oregon a while ago. Mark J. Featherstone Windsor Hills

The Bruins are on target to finish the season 0-12. Does that mean next year they get to be featured in HBO’s “Gutty Little Hard Knocks”? Jeff Black Los Angeles Ramming it

I guess no one told the Arizona Cardinals. The first 50 yards in the Coliseum are owned by the Rams. Bill Simpson Rancho Palos Verdes

He’s here to help

A few weeks ago, when Yasiel Puig was suspended, Bill Plaschke wrote how much of a detriment Puig was to the Dodgers and should be traded. Last week, Puig hit five home runs in two days and was NL player of the week.

After the Rams’ opening, but not overwhelming, win over the Raiders, Plaschke wrote what a mistake coach Sean McVay made by benching his starters during the preseason. The next game, Rams shut out the Cardinals 34-0.

Bill, please write a column about what a mistake it was for the Lakers to acquire LeBron James and that they are doomed for last place. Joe Zingg Palm Springs ::
