Competition: Why I love/hate UCLA and USC

roflmao! now that was hilarious. i'm still laughing...

tceezy,

yeah I was referring to 2003. Thanks for joggin the ol memory.

Ok i though I'd come back to see what developed....

errrrr   If both Bowls at the time ranked USC number one, how is it that the BCS had two other teams?  Answer the BCS system had to be tweaked... and why is it that SOME people can disclaim that that YEAR it was a SHARED NATIONASL TITLE LSU and USC?? 

Everyone with "a lick of sense" recognizes that year as a SPLIT NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP and LSU should have played USC for the mythical National title-

We all were lucky that 1-2 met in 2006 Texas and USC- undefeated and the best two teams - it is just that without at least a PLUS ONE after the bowls too many teams will be left out.

That is why i LOVE USC- people talk about the school/athletic program-some not making much sense. 

Where are the Bruin fans?? O yes the one playing the steinway drinking champagne after the BIG USC DEFEAT... Everyone you just have to laugh!!!

I'll be at Hyatt HB after the game watching the waves roll in!!

Fight On

If Powder Blue is the best colors in all of major sports, then why do all the Bruin fans where dark blue outfits to the games?

I go every year and see like one out of ten fans actually wearing powder blue.  Every other shade of blue ... sure.  Power Blue, no.

I can't name a single other school whose students, alumns and fans are so lacking in pride that they wear different shades of their school colors to games.

I hate UCLA because the school is to the rest of the nation a Los Angeles school, yet it epitomizes the worst of Los Angeles.  Bruins are fake, pure and simple:

• They stole the Cal Bear and renamed it a "Bruin." 
• They stole the Cal colors and only bothered to change the shade of blue.  Yet their fans who profess to love powder blue wear dark blue "Bruin" gear to the games - I know, I go to the games every year - they do not wear powder blue.  In West LA, school pride gives way to fashion.  And what I see is that Bruin fans do not find powder blue fashionable.
• They stole the Cal fight song and didn't bother to change a single note.  Now that's bad.
• The Rose Bowl is their home field, but they cannot win a Bowl game there.

There are plenty of other reasons.  Having attended both schools (undergraduate and graduate), I can tell you UCLA spends a lot more energy on being overly "PC," yet they freely take jabs at the local USC community as the "hood,' full of Bloods and Crips, where everyone gets government checks.  How ashamed they might feel if they knew anything about the people in the local community.  At the same time, they attend class in the heart of privilege, glitz, twisted values, plasitc surgery, and materialism, while mislabeling USC students spoiled.

And, finally ... year in and year out ... UCLA embarrases the PAC 10 in the college football world, thus hurting USC's BCS rankings.

I could go on ... there are uicy details those of us who attended both schools could tell ... but you get the picture.

I dig UCLA because of the tradition....it's glam, showtime, and Hollywood baby!  Much respect for the outstanding athletic tradition, amazing list of alumni, and a creme de la creme academic program...one of the best in the country.  Amazing athletes, coolest uni's in college sports, bar none.

The environment, history, and athletic programs of SC just can't compete.  South Carolina is no match for LA and Beverly Hills.  Plus, USC are the 'Cocks, and that is just embarrasing. 

I love USC because they continually slap UCLA around the football field.  the 13-9 victory of 2006 was a fluke, and its in the past now as USC put another PAC-10 title in the record books with their 24-7 victory over the pathetic Bruins today.  Make sure you Bruins do your 8 clap as you watch all the bowl games this year with your team left out to watch as well.  i will enjoy My Trojans playing in your house on Jan. 1st. 

I hate UCLA because although they suck and get beat by mediocre teams, they continually talk trash on the USC football program who is clearly better.  And why do you hate our Coach, who has always been a class act? you Bruins are pathetic. 

Fight On Trojans!
