On the other hand, people have been saying this shit FOREVER.
If you really care about academics, and you're any good, Stanford will come calling and you'll answer.
They've had a some good players who made good in the NFL. Pretty much every program has.
Nothing at all compelling about that argument, and as I said, people have been making it for years, and still, Cal is Cal.

NEWSFLASH: Institutional support and quality coaching hires matter
I'm still on the Chip bandwagon. He is unorthodox and super abrasive.

Maybe UCLA is cursed, can't explain Ricks implosion, but if they ride the next 3 ugly years out it will get better.
UCLA was as good as any team we played last year talent wise. Made the rare win that much more fun especially when the 5 star frosh got a 15 yard penalty and looked like he wanted to cry
Chip has the raw material. I think its our conference loss this year
UW is going to kill UCLA.
I would think so, but it's been a long time since we beat UCLA on the road.
Of all programs to hold Husky kryptonite. Those hapless perennially underperforming powered blue fancy boys.
I can't remember their last big impressive win. And IDGAF.
Thy are horrible and I don't think Chip will do anything of note there, but until we beat them, I'm worried.
I'm not worried at all anymore and it's arguably the easiest game left on our schedule.
Chip sucks. 1-15 cemented it. He was a right place, right time coach. He's just collecting a fat paycheck at this point.
I agree, have always thought this to be the case. But in fairness, it took Pete over two years to get the Sark out of the Huskies, and even Carroll and Saban took a year to get USC and Alabama cultures turned around. Gotta say though, that shit happy dance Chip had UCLA doing during the game smacks of a Sarkism. Not a good sign for UCLA. At all.
Chip caught teams by surprise for a couple years and that was it. All he did was run the hurry up all the time and catch defenses unprepared.
Beyond that, if only UW had a billionaire international sweatshop owner like Phil Knight paying players from the Bible belt with sub-80 IQs to come play in the rainy NW, maybe the Duck Decade could've been the Husky Decade. But I would've hated Kelly @ UW just as much.
Sure. Uh huh.

Wilcox.gif licking his chops. Cal is going to be a major beneficiary.
Of what? Cal is perpetual garbage. No one who is serious about football wants to play there.
Players who want to have fun with their friend the coach play at oregon.
How can you even talk shit after losing to San Diego State? Your program is dreck of the lowest order.
@OBK: One word obliterates your pathetic, attention-seeking faggot football team: Uniforms.
I couldn't give a shit less what some middle aged dood who never set foot outside the state of Washington thinks about our uniforms. They're a hit with the recruits.
So are low IQs and remedial admission requirements.

As far as football is concerned, we care about talent and stars. Don't give a fuck about a football player's academis skills or character, as long as those things don't effect his performance on field.

Right... Who wouldn't want to put on a brand new uniform and helmet combo for every game? That's money and marketing at work, bitch.
Other teams do that every game now too. Including half the pac. hth

Chinned for the use of 'punani'. Vastly underutilized word.

A unique challenge for Chipper. He was able to recruit the team (Offense anyway) that He needed at Oregon for 2 years before being handed the reigns.
This more resembles what He had at Philly minus a briefly resurrected Michael Vick. He was a genius and changed College Football at Oregon. But the blueprint has been out for many years on how to defend that Offense.
However if He is able to get the 4 and 5 Star talent to run that Offense, they’ll score big on 81% of the teams they play. That won’t happen for 2 or 3 years though, if it ever does.
I'm still on the Chip bandwagon. He is unorthodox and super abrasive.
No doubt being behind the scenes at Oregon before being the head guy helped that transition, but if you can wait out the storm the results are there. He drafted files, super bowl mvp. I remember in Philly players were complaining how he ran them too hard before games and it made them tired, but stats and analytics showed they were performing better.
Maybe UCLA is cursed, can't explain Ricks implosion, but if they ride the next 3 ugly years out it will get better.
Over 20 seasons at UCLA, Terry Donahue finished 1st or 2nd in conference 12 times and went 3-1 in Rose Bowls when Rose Bowls mattered and the PAC8/PAC10 was the SEC of it's day. Winning is more than possible at UCLA, it just takes the right coach.
Rick had shitty trajectories at Colorado and UW prior to failing at UCLA. Same goes for Mora at Atlanta and Seattle prior to failing at UCLA. Charles Kelly is still in a LIPO situation. He may turn things around or wear out his welcome and get run. The trajectory of his recent track record in the NFL and now at UCLA sucks, not a good sign, time will tell.

High octane smoke and mirrors spread offense with small, fast players had a shelf life. Oregon pushed it to the extreme and got further than any other team has (and probably ever will) using that system and those types of players. Even a Heisman QB wasn't good enough. There is no substitute for SEC style, smash mouth football when you're playing the top teams in the nation, so that's where we went. Stanford is always near the top of the conference and they did that by playing a different brand of football than most of the other PAC 12 teams. We out-Stanforded Stanford (not my term, axe Herbstreit) for most of that game, and will probably go to Palo Alto next year and deliver an epic ass kicking.

Chip isn't cool. Neither is Pete for that matter. LIPO. If only more recruits would think and care.
Wasted

Dayum UCLA. University of regrets when it comes to football man.
