Was sexting with @CokeGreaterThanPepsi and noticed that UCLA had not sold out a home game since 1988 (when they played SC whose fans are in the same city).

To be clear, the metro pop of LA is 13 mil. Seattle 4 mil.

Also, another great UCLA moment... in '88 they were ranked first with a clear shot at the Natty (their first in what would've been 32 years at that point!), the eventual #1 pick and Heisman favorite (Troy Donahue)... and they lost to WSU at home.

A couple weeks later, they lost to USC at home. That was their last Rose Bowl sell-out. And Barry Sanders won the Heisman.

Best QB ever at UCLA was named Troy.

Welcome to UCLA football.

    And yet Mora was celebrating in our empty fucking stadium like it was 2014, because it was.

    It's hard to sell out a stadium with a capacity in the 95-100k range ...

    But seriously, that's beyond shocking. I'd have maybe believed the numbers IF you said it was for non-USC games ... but including USC??? Wow, just wow.

    It's not hard if you're in... KNOXVILLE, TN! They seem to do it regularly. Same with Ann Arbor, Meetchicken.

    The funny thing was I was browsing through their attendance and sometimes was like, 'oh, they finally sold it out against Tennessee! Oh... wait that was an away game. Oh, there's one against Mich... no, that was away, too.'

    The population of the entire state of TENN is 6.5mil. Michigan is 10mil. LA's metro area is 13mil.

    Also: there are currently 43k UCLA students. 28k at UTK.

    It's also 26+ miles from campus to the Rose Bowl. Google Maps says it takes 31 minutes. Sure, at 3am.

    If UCLA had a 90K stadium near/on campus like USC instead of a lousy place to try to drive to on a Saturday like bumfuck Pasadena, they'd have had several sellouts since 1988.

    I only voted you down instead of giving you a WTF because of the quality of your research.

    If you couldn't tell that my first statement regarding the capacity was a whoosh ... you should pour yourself another drink
