Ted Miller had an intersting take on this
In his Pac-10 Blog on the WWL:
My issue is the dubiousness of the premise. Simply saying something doesn’t make it so, particularly with the Trojans are expected to win a seventh consecutive Pac-10 title and UCLA is not expected to finish in the conference’s top half. No, the football monopoly in Los Angeles remains in place until it is busted up. And that’s not just an upset victory here or there. We’ll only know that it is busted up — or at least no longer a monopoly — when the Bruins line up against USC with the stakes being big for both teams and UCLA prevails.
Personally, I love it. It’s ballsy and will definitely get plenty of ketchup and mustard people all riled up. But Ted has a point. The Battle for L.A. isn’t won with words, it’s won on the field. I’ll be there cheering them on with all my might.
GO BRUINS!!!

Miller take makes sense from an outsider's perspective
But the ad IMHO was really directed towards us: the Bruin Nation. It was meant to get all Bruin fans, who are not necessarily plugged in fired up. And it will do the trick.
Love the fact that he is not hiding from the main challenge. This is a clear contrast from the past regime.
For our part though, we will keep the focus here on Tennessee.
GO BRUINS.

Yes, it is a Bruin wake-up call, not a direct challenge to SC
The most important message is the picture: Neuheisel in it, not Dorrell. Dorrell would not have had the balls to place such an ad, since he still would be preoccupied with turning that elusive corner. Unbeknownst to Dorrell, he was actually that corner. Once we got rid of him, UCLA has turned that corner and sky is the limit.

Love it
It’s applied psychology at its best. It gets us excited for obvious reasons. It puts the thugs on alert. It puts our players in a position where they can’t hide from their duty. Like it or not they have big responsibilities.

I just thought of something
This would make a great T-shirt. Morgan Ctr? You listening?

Actually
That’s a great idea. If any enterprising soul out there wants to take the initiative, put me down for one.
