Ha ha. UCLA pulled it out. Chip is still a fat, lazy check cashing machine. DTR is still a front running bitch. Garbers won the game for them. He’d of been good under KDB/Grubb.
I know because I watch all the shitty games. What a choke.
I ask again: how do you picture it going for UCLA teams in Madison or East Lansing in mid-November? They are better off hanging out in the West. At least in the Pac they can underachieve in nicer places.
I don't think that's even close to obvious based on what I've seen to date. Recruiting is not even a discussion. Chip is shitty at it. Coaching? Well, make the case for Chip.

They are a better fit out west. For sure. They mismanaged their AD so bad for so long that staying was untenable. Between getting the UA money back in the lawsuit and the money from the B1G deal they’ll be solvent for a few years. They will most likely squander the windfall in raises and infrastructure and neither of those will fix the fact no one wants to watch this team play football. I think if you got any of their power brokers in a room alone they’d admit this isn’t a long term answer for them and that they’d prefer to stay with Cal out west than leave with USC. Staying in the Pac, saving the national perception of the conference and helping sweeten the new TV deal arguably would have been a bigger dick move than leaving. Betting on yourself and all that but California grifters gotta grift.

For a short-time, I was acquainted with a head coach of a UCLA varsity team in a sport that the coach himself played at UCLA. I asked him once, why is USC so much better? UCLA has the better campus location, has all kinds of advantages, what's the deal. Without hesitating, he said that USC people identify with being a Trojan and care long after they leave the school. UCLA people, in his opinion, are the opposite. They go there for what they wanted academically and they leave and the stop giving a shit. Basically that the alumni factor is not even close to being comparable. People are generally not really into being Bruins. They move on. SC people don't lose the connection.
Anyway, one guy's opinion. And like I said, he's alumnus and a former coach.

I was in a hotel bar once with a pre-wedding dinner happening in the dining room. I think the bride was a USC alum and bridesmaids giving toasts were ending with “Fight On!”

My cousin had a cameo appearance by Bucky the Badger at her wedding in Madison about 10+ years ago. I’m certain she couldn’t have named a single player from the current Wisconsin team, like their QB Russell Wilson. If UCLA can’t keep up with USC fans who say “Fight on” after wedding speeches, how are they gonna hang with that Midwest level of obsession.

D. Moore, what a dumbass.
He gets to waste his talent at a school that doesn’t give a crap about football.
J/k! Not really.
