    When was the last time UCLA played for something, anything meaningful?

    You vastly overestimate UCLA football. They always have some players. But they lack any of the stuff that makes CFB programs great: Weak facilities, weak tradition, weak fans, weak boosters, weak salaries, weak expectations. They can't give seats away in "their" stadium. Mora is one of about four guys on campus who GAFs whether they win or lose.

    I was surprised Mora took that job. But he reached UCLA's ceiling quickly, and I won't be surprised to see him win bigger someplace else.

    Sorry doog it's not 1991 anymore. Most of this is out of date. Wasserman center, Fan attendance, salary pool. Look it up.

    I think our fans/boosters/ad are committed to football just as much as anyone else in the p12, aside from SC and Oregon, right now.

    I'm not sure if there are any records of this or if we have any football historians in here who would remember but have there been any examples of pac 12 coaches going 5-4 in conference with 3 plungers in their 4th or 5th year with a team jumping ship for a "better job"? If so, how did they do? Genuinely curious, thanks.

    Again, for reasons that pass all human understanding, Mike Riley got the HC job in Nebraska after coaching Oregon State back to shittiness

    If it does then it goes for almost the entire conference.

    He said we have terrible facilities > Wasseman center.

    He said we can't give tickets away > we lead the Conf in attendance the past 2 years

    He said we don't pay coaches > We lead the Conf in asst salary pool (though SC and Stanford info isn't public).

    TTJs argument, like most things here, is stuck in 1991.
