Big surprise

We are literally handing this as poorly as possible. I can’t believe we are allowing this to drag on. Harmony is terrible.

Not that I believe much of what they say but considering the silence it seems plausible.

For being named PAC 12 POW. Good job!

I was thinking that we were close to hitting rock bottom in football which is pretty far down for our program. But let’s play it forward if Chip leaves…

No less than half of our roster graduates or transfers, including most likely our top four QBs, our entire stable of running backs, and 3/4 of our starting defense.

We can’t get high quality players through the portal if they think Chip is dead man walking. Plus they will have witnessed an exodus from the program. We know Chip isn’t going to pull in any quality recruits from HS.

We join the Big 10 and play an exponentially more difficult schedule against much bigger and deeper teams. We end up 3-9 with some embarrassing blowouts.

You know the team will quit on Chip in that scenario, so the product is going to be not only terrible but embarrassing.

We inevitably fire Chip at some point next year. We have an even more decimated roster with an even more disengaged fan base.

What exactly is there to gain by staying the course? Does anyone think that we’re beating LSU, Washington, Oregon, Penn State, Iowa, OR SC next year? Let alone Hawaii, Fresno State, Nebraska, Rutgers, Indiana, or Minnesota?

Fresno State will smoke us in the last game of the year.

Plus our home games are all going to be like away games.

If I were betting right now I would bet the under if they set our wins at 5. Like the easiest money ever. But that’s not the problem…it’s that we’re in way worse shape than we are now, which is hard to believe…

To UCLA

Rivals national recruiting analyst Clint Cosgrove says to keep an eye on Jedd Fisch:

If Indiana is swallowing $20M ucla definitely shouldn’t be using an $8M buyout as an excuse. I think a lack of change shows, in glaring detail, how ucla views football.

According to Bleacher Report and 247, Chip Kelly will be fired after the SC game.
The reports say that if Chip beats SC, he might keep his job for another week.
Both reporters cite sources close to the program but won't name them.

UCLA Football: Bruins Defense Officially Ascends To Best In Nation After USC Upset​

The win over USC just keeps on
It has been a very up-and-down year for the UCLA Bruins football team, but they have continued to push through the adversity. They have stuck to their game plan amid injuries and inconsistent play, which has been great to see.
All season the Bruins defense has been the identity of the program. It has been quite the turnaround for this team, and it has helped them throughout the year.
While they haven’t been perfect, they have made it difficult for opponents to play against them. Led by defensive coordinator D’Anton Lynn, the Bruins have turned themselves into one of the best defenses in the nation.
After their dominant performance against the rival USC Trojans this past weekend, the Bruins are now ranked first nationally in one specific defensive category. That would be the opponent's rushing yards per game.
The Bruins have made it a point of emphasis this season to not get burned by opposing running attacks. They are the best in the nation at defending the run, and they showed it again against USC.
They allowed just three rushing yards to the Trojans this weekend, although a good chunk of that was from sacking quarterback Caleb Williams. But even without that, the Trojans backs would have combined for just 23 rushing yards total.

Chip’s video is still uploading since we’ve been kicked out of the pressbox and I’m sitting in the parking lot.

Here’s QB Dante Moore and safety Alex Johnson on the loss:

Not much of a surprise at this point

getting their highest rankings ever. It's a long. long way to the Championships and many bumps along the way but a great start.

What to watch for as the teams turn the lights out on Pac-12 football:

Very sad for Oregon State. The way this has ended is horrible for them.

Since today is the last day of regular season games in PAC-10 history, what are your favorite memories as a fan (or player or media member as a few of you were/are)? Who were the players who made the biggest impression on you?

For me, I was a freshman the fall of ‘92 and had grown up a Cal fan. They basically had one star offensive player my whole youth (Russell White) and I was ready to see some passing at UCLA. It only took me a couple of games to be a full fledged UCLA fan. JJ Stokes had a magical year, culminating with the great SC win with Barnes. The offensive line was dominant starting a young core including Ogden and Vaughan Parker. On defense we had quite a few very good players including young SS turned LB Donnie Edwards and strong side pass rusher and run stuffer Jamir Phillips.

The Bruins didn’t lose a game against SC for my first 8 years of Bruin fandom.

Over the years the best game I saw was the Route 66 game and about 4 SC nailbiters. Particularly memorable to me were the Marvin Goodwin interception game and the Skip Hicks OT game two years later.

The best offensive players in my time have been Ogden, MJD, Stokes, McNown, Rosen (when he wasn’t getting his brains bashed in), Jordan Payton, Skip Hicks, Myles Jack for five games, Paul Perkins, and Deshaun Foster.

On defense, my memories are of Donnie Edwards, Eric Kendrick’s, Myles Jack, Akeem Ayers, Robert Thomas, Jamir Phillips, and now Latu

It's sorta bittersweet because I grew up when it was the Pac 8, then Pac 10 and then Pac 12...incredible history, incredible memories and now we are moving on. I wish UCLA of done better this year and I'd hoped that CCK could of had a great farewell tour. Oh well, one game final game, a Bowl and the Big Ten season.
