Prior to the 2008 collegiate football season the UCLA athletic department took out an ad in the LA Times showing a picture of new head coach Rick Neuheisel.
The full-page ad declared in big letters "The football monopoly in Los Angeles is officially over"
thank you to Mat Swenson for sharing with me the following fact...
if USC beats Penn State on January 1st, USC and UCLA will have the same number of wins at the Rose Bowl, 3, during the time span of January 1 2008 to January 1 2009.
UCLA plays all of their home games at the Rose Bowl!
As for UCLA success at USC's homefield?
UCLA last won a game at the LA Coliseum in 1997.
Sorry Slick Rick, looks like the football monopoly in Los Angeles is as intact as ever. Maybe next year your Bruins will be able to muster up more than 7 first downs and more than 7 points versus 'SC, but I doubt it.
Even if UCLA does improve over the next several years, its hard to believe it will be without the cheating (NCAA rules violations) that led to your ouster from Colorado and Washington.
Fight On!

This post warms my heart. After suffering through the insufferably UCLA fans during the last drought, it feels good to grind their faces in the turf a bit.
