Wrote this up last night. Still cannot get over the horse manure coming out of DG concerning the *&^% SC chant during (gasp!) basketball games against SC. I guess this shouldn't be a surprise because these are the same cheese eating surrender monkeys who this year changed "Beat SC" week to "blue and gold week," and have no problem celebrating a loss to USC as a true moral victory. These clowns are perfectly comfortable with this:
Also a poster from BRO (EarlWatson25) perfectly captures the rationale for how the letter from DG who seems to be comfortable with being second fiddle to SuC in football was - well just dumb:
I've seen JW attend more than half of our home games since 2000. I think he's smart enough to realize that the ONLY time we use the f-word is towards $C. I'm sure he doesn't like it, but I also would HOPE that he would understand.
Honestly, compared to many other schools.. our fan base is pretty classy. I can't imagine having a "F west virginia" or "F Orgeon" chant... because that would be classless. we don't hate our opponents. except $C. i don't know about any of you, but I freaking HATE $C and everything it stands for. So when it comes to $C, class goes out the window..
there's always an exception to a rule. and this is an exception. F-$-C.
if anyone is a real UCLA fan, they would know to expect this type of behavior (from both parties) at UCLA-$C games.
[...]
[B]ut frankly, "beat $C" is pathetic. as a hardcore fan, that just does not cut it for $C. until we come up with another chant that really gets under $C's skin, I'll most likely continue to chant F-$-C. I'm sorry, but "Beat $C" offends me.. it's just pathetic.
Again we are not sure where DG is getting the nonsense that this was the first time he ever heard F-SC chants during a game against USC.Honestly, compared to many other schools.. our fan base is pretty classy.

Well it sure looks like the tools of Westwood, aka the school administrators have given up on Dorrell beating USC this weekend. Through the years the SC game week was called simply "Beat SC" week in Westwood. It was "Beat SC" week when I attended UCLA in first half of the 90s and tradition continued on until this year. The geniuses from Ackerman are calling this week's activities around the SC game as "Blue and Gold" week:
"Beat 'SC" will be the phrase on students' minds this week - though many would use a word other than "beat" - but the events leading up to this weekend's football game are taking a new spin on the historical rivalry.
In previous years, the series of events which preceded the UCLA-USC game was called Beat 'SC Week, and was focused on generating support for the football team's bout with its traditional rival.
But this year, organizers wanted to emphasize school pride over athletic competition.
This year's events, titled Blue and Gold Week, are sponsored by the UCLA Student Alumni Association and will showcase traditional events including the Beat 'SC Car Smash and bonfire rally in Wilson Plaza, as well as new cultural and academic events.
LMAO! Yes, it's those "new cultural and academic events" that were the differences maker on December 3rd against the thugs from South Central. Instead of creating a frenzied atmosphere of overwhelming spirit and emotion against Peter Carroll's (alleged) gangbangers, UCLA administrators were getting the Bruin community in Westwood ready for the biggest game of the season by having "cultural and academic events." This is what happens when you have an Ivy League gas bag with no clue of the tradition of UCLA football and what this weekend's game means to UCLA alums and students leading this university. Yes, I am sure Trojans were whipping up their faithful for the big game by having cultural and academic events and dub it "Maroon and Gold" week! What a bunch of tools. Same tools who celebrated a loss against USC as one of the biggest accomplishments of last year. Remember this from the Daily Bruin?In previous years, the series of events which preceded the UCLA-USC game was called Beat 'SC Week, and was focused on generating support for the football team's bout with its traditional rival.

Anyways ... back to basketball and destroying SC when we play them in 2 weeks. GO BRUINS.
