How about the Az. Hail Mary catch in front of several useless SUCC defenders yelling “I got It.”
That was against Arizona State. If you going to come in here and run your mouth at least get your facts straight. By the way, did you ever get a count on how many NC’s UCLA has won? At your last count it was at 1. Half in 1946 and 1954, even though you claim more.
Ok SUCC12, a team we beat 66 to something at Az State.
Too bad your heads were down when Stanford beat your brains in again. Even though USC’s down with only a mediocre team, we still took so much out of the little gutties you got completely hammered at home the very next weekend.
Stanford loves to play ucla, aka Bridesmaid U, the team that can never win the conference. Let’s have a big 8-clap for Bridesmaid U, soon to be Alamo Bowl losers to Kansas State. Oh, yah!
Yea, SC will be back! Wasn’t ucla projected to be in the final 4? You shot your wad against SC! When you played Stanford you had no strength left! That’s why everyone knows that ucla only practices for SC for the whole year! It would mean more to ucla to beat SC than if they beat the New England Patriots!

So you’re claiming you cut UCLA’s hair?
Whatchu talkin bout Willis?
It’s common knowledge that when somebody tries to tear down somebody else, it’s all about trying to make yourself feel better (about yourself). That’s why you troll on an SC blog! It’s ok. We understand that you need to try and justify your team. What football championships have you won in fifty years? Cricket
I believe UCLA has won more PCC, Pac- 8, and Pac -12 FB conference Championships, than SUCC has won the same in Basketball since 1950.
Correct me if I’m wrong Ramonski.
I’m not talking about basketball! I know ucla is unmatched by any other school in basketball. But you say ucla owns LA because you won 3 in a row. What is the overall record in football between SC and ucla and there is where you will get a true who owns LA!

” Keep reaching for the stars”!
Ha ha ha
How to Lose BIG the two most important games of the season U of O and Stanford. Take a bow little gutties!!
The SUCC Boston Massacre/choke and UCLA beach slap trump UCLA’s dispointments.
WRONG again! the little gutties actually had a chance to be somebody in college football for the first time ever! They crapped their pants twice on the big stage by getting blown out. You now have an irrelevant football program once again. Merry Christmas.
Little Gutty Choker Award (failure to win anything in college football since 1954): ucla – they never disappoint. Choke absolutely every year. Have been banned from the Rose Bowl, their rented home field which USC actually owns, in January. Losing bowl record. Losing record against USC (lost 46, won 31). Currently also owned by Oregon and Stanford, losing huge to both schools every year.
And SUCC still finished behind UCLA. Chicken bone on.
gawd, what a loser. just as dumb as T-Fail, but drones on fives times as long.
Don’t talk about Owns like that!
i KNOW you are, but what is Owns?????
It’s tough for you to hear the truth Crotch Boy. Why can’t little gutties win a football conference championship? You’re so stupid, you don’t even know the answer. Hah, hah, hah.
These guys also won the, “Picked USC over a troll school” Award.
Josh Shaw got robbed!!! He should have won the courage award for death defying jump!!
I was unable to find any reference to courage regarding Mr. Shaw, however if you look on page 869 of the Guinness Book of Records you will discover that he is listed as holding the record for having the longest thread of BS by a college athlete prior to recanting.
Nice to see linemen get acknowledged even though, as our Scottie puts it, they hold down the “unskilled” positions on a team, unlike the quarterback, running backs, and wideouts.
P.S.– Try playing a lineman’s position, Scott, and I bet you change your tune.
I’ll second that. Too bad the Heisman voters can’t have the same open view.
Cody Allen was robbed.
At least Wolf gave him some recognition the other day.
