So fUCLA has won an outright or share of the Pac 10 championship 3 times in 20 years and that's a pattern?

Uhhh ok, sure thing.

Ok, how about this:

Conference Record, 1959-2008

Southern California 0.741 352 257 87
UCLA 0.619 353 214 130
Arizona State 0.613 341 207 130
Washington 0.582 367 211 151
Arizona 0.509 346 173 167
Stanford 0.464 364 166 192
Oregon 0.453 330 148 179
California 0.406 358 142 209
Washington State 0.377 337 124 207
Oregon State 0.324 333 105 222

The point is that the strength of the Pac 10 is in LA. That USC has been more dominant does not mitigate the fact that UCLA has the second best winning % in the conference.

It was the contention of Oregonbuckeye that the PAC 10 power was more evenly distributed.
Since when? It's been USC and then Oregon, Cal, Oregon State in some order.

Well, since 1959:

I think I see a pattern there.

I think that his point is that UCLA hasn't been in that mix for a long time. More than a decade and only thrice in 20 years.

You and I remember the era when it was Ohio State vs. TSUN followed by USC vs. UCLA on the same day and for all of the marbles. Those days are now long gone.

OK, let's settle on this: the Pac 10 for the last decade has been USC and the only other school likely to challenge for a sustained period of time is UCLA. The northern Cal schools are too mental and the suicide inducing winters of the Pac Northwest (I know, I was stationed at Ft. Lewis) make it hard for anything north of Santa Barbara to compete.

If by settle this, you mean make stuff up in contrast to the results, then I guess it's settled :huh:

Oregon has been the distant second behind USC. Ucla has not been nearly good enough to merit 2nd place for the decade.

Meanwhile, back on the ranch, any key injuries going in to the game tonight?

Pike is hurt (again). Doesn't matter too much, though, since the rest of UC's schedule is only marginally less terrible than Boise's (UC's future opponents are currently 14-15, and Boise's are 14-22). If UC doesn't win out, I'd be shocked. They play virtually no one of note (unlike last year, where they had the guts to play Choklahoma and got raped for their trouble).

It's irritating listening to the USF-UC broadcasters try to castigate OSU for not playing UC this year. They act like OSU is dodging UC; why bother? OSU is 6-0 against these chumps, including 4-0 in the past 10 years with an average margin of victory of more than 14 points. Playing UC, statistically, is the same as padding the schedule with Toledo or lower bumblefuck state. So sure, UC fans, thump your chest and holler; the next time OSU needs to bring a patsy in to fill our nice, big stadium, maybe we'll do you the honor of handing out $600k in exchange for letting us kick your sorry asses all over the field.

Yea they should look at the future's and see we have them coming up in '12 and '14. Why would we play them every year??? There is no guarantee Kelly will be there much longer if they don't get a facility built. ESPN = Dumb

That simply is not true. UCLA has been in the toilet for the past 9 years. Cal and Oregon have both been better.

That's embarrassing for a program like Oklahoma to be playing an away game at a stadium that seats 35k. I'd be fucking irate if I were a Sooner fan.
