This UCLA win was the only game that brought me joy yesterday.

It gave us hope that all is not lost.  We are still a complete dumpster fire, but we cleaned house and played with heart.  There still may be a future for UCLA football after all.

The future this year is drop back to pass then take off running.  Same as ours.

You guys need a real HC.  I think Sarkisian has deep roots in LA

Same. It was great to see a team have some hope like that and then hold on to win against an opponent no one thought they had a chance against.

I was proud to wear my UCLA shit during my run this morning. Happy for Jerry. Did the 8 clap a couple of times yesterday. Might even get out the check book.

During Jerry's post-game interviews, he commented about not pushing the correct buttons to call in the play a couple of times.  My son mentioned that Nico just called a play and they moved on.

Cool post-game interview with Jerry:

His uncle is planning on tearing down the rec center and ski school to build a 12 story adults-only resort hotel.

They need a vet like sark 

Suggested elsewhere, too. Hopefully, he'd like to have a position from which to shit all over the team that shitcanned him.

Should we see if we can give UCLA a couple years' salary to take him?

We would take Sark in a heartbeat.

Looks like this weeks game could be for the dumpster fire trophy, good luck (but not too much) - You coming to East Lansing?

No.  I thought about it, but what’s there to do in EL other than the game?  But yes, either we revert back to what we were, which is shitful, or we compete.  We’ll see.

decent golf courses (outstanding ones if you want to drive to Lake Michigan) , fall is apple cider/orchard season, tour the crack house neighborhoods and after the games we burn couches or at least some used to do that.

It's amazing what a coaching change can do with the exact same roster and resources.

It's also amazing just how few coaches are capable... despite the massive amounts of cash in the industry

Yes, they definitely take care of each other....never know who's going to be looking for a job, or who's going to be hiring, season to season. Or in UCLA's case, week to week.

UCLA never had a roster as bad as it looked. It was clear that the team was fumbling around via Foster’s ineptitude and lack of vision.  That’s not to say the roster was great or they’re close to a contender, but getting a boost from an energetic coordinator who’s calling games like he has nothing to lose made football fun. Enjoy @Sbbruin!

I was thinking that UCLA may turn it around, then I took a look at their remaining schedule.  

 

Fuck.

Who’s to say what will happen, but I think the winnable (not “we will win” but “we can win”) games are Maryland on Saturday, Nebraska, and UW.  SC is always a crapshoot.  I don’t like our chances there, but you never know.  Indiana and OSU are losses.

1. UCLA lost to Northwestern 

2. UCLA plays both Indiana and Ohio State 

3. UCLA still controls their own destiny 

4. UCLA could make the playoffs with losses to New Mexico, UNLV, and Northwestern 

That is all.

We just need to try to beat Maryland this Saturday.  That is all.

81 degrees at kickoff at the Rose Bowl today.  Doesn’t get much better than that.  And now no Dodger game conflict.  Beat the Turtles!

I like cheering for these guys.  Seems Skipper is glad to let Sunshine Neuheisel have all the glory.  Good move for the team, let them rally around a guy who's easy to rally around.

Probably detrimental to his career in the short term.  Puts Sunshine in front of him for rhe HC role?  Selfless.

Sam Farmer: Rose Bowl accuses UCLA of trying to move football games to SoFi Stadium in lawsuit

Quote

The City of Pasadena and the Rose Bowl Operating Co. filed a lawsuit Wednesday night to force UCLA to honor the remaining two decades of its contract and keep Bruin football games in the historic stadium through 2044. The complaint, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court against UCLA and the University of California Regents, alleges that the university has been “unequivocally expressing its intent to abandon the Rose Bowl Stadium and relocate its home football games to SoFi Stadium in Inglewood,” and calls that “a profound betrayal of trust.”

UCLA’s lease runs through June 30, 2044, and Pasadena officials say taxpayers have invested more than $150 million in stadium renovations, while recently refinancing another $130 million in bonds for additional capital improvements. “This lawsuit arises in an era when money too often eclipses meaning and the pursuit of profit threatens to erase the very traditions that breathe life into institutions,” the filing reads. “Some commitments are too fundamental to be traded away.”

The filing alleges that UCLA, after years of public assurances that it is staying, has now “chosen to disregard those promises” and has formally notified the plaintiffs that it is “moving on” and that “there’s no way we’re staying long term.” Although UCLA has yet to file a formal response to the lawsuit, the university disputed the allegations in an exhibit included in the filing.

In a letter to Pasadena’s attorney, Nima Mohebbi, UCLA outside counsel David L. Schrader wrote in March that the university has not violated the agreement and that “preliminary discussions” that contemplate a move “do not constitute a material breach for which RBOC would be entitled to a legal or equitable remedy.” Schrader wrote that UCLA “continues to evaluate strategic goals and how to be fiscally responsible and best fulfill its mission.”

The lawsuit asks for a court order that requires UCLA to honor the entirety of its lease. The filing contends that it would be devastating to Pasadena and the stadium were UCLA to violate the agreement, that the harm caused to the city and its residents “could easily exceed a billion dollars (or more),” and that monetary damages could never truly remedy UCLA’s conduct.

A UCLA athletic department spokesperson did not immediately respond Wednesday night to a request for comment. Home attendance at a stadium located 26 miles from campus has been a deepening concern in recent seasons for UCLA. The team has averaged 35,253 fans for its four home games this season, putting it on track for an all-time low at the Rose Bowl.

The Bruins’ five worst home season-attendance figures since moving to the Rose Bowl in 1982 have come over the last five seasons not interrupted by COVID-19, including 46,805 in 2024. That figure ranked 16th among the 18 Big Ten Conference teams, ahead of only Maryland and Northwestern, which was playing at a temporary lakeside stadium seating just 12,023.
