Saturday Thought: We Need A Schedule Backlash

I get that there is a difference in interest between USC and UCLA football. The same chasm exists — in reverse — in basketball.

But I’m surprised their hasn’t been more of a media backlash against UCLA’s schedule.

I remember going pretty hard at USC in 2015 when it opened the season with Arkansas State and Idaho.

But Bowling Green, Alabama State, South Alabama and then a cushy Pac-12 opener at Colorado? Wow.

At least UCLA fans have expressed their displeasure by skipping the home games.

And since someone will mention it, I’ve been critical of USC’s schedule and complimented UCLA’s future schedules. And I’ve done it repeatedly.

But this 2022 UCLA schedule should cost someone their job. Paging Chip Kelly.

  1. There you go again, Scott Wolf, transitioning from one topic to another as if you were racing at the Indy-500.

    Allow us a little time to digest your last entree before serving up another 5-pound dish.

    And what is with this ucla football thing, I never heard of them,
    unless you mean sucla

      3. F.U.,
        I’m probably asking for it….but…. it’s an exam where the professor plants so many legitimate & substantive issues you only have time to quickly raise & dismiss them in the short time allotted….no time for discussion …hence no bullshit on the exam taker’s part is possible….

  4. Ed can borrow my Ferrari– ’84 ‘308 Tom Selleck vintage.

    And I also have considered starting my own One-God no religion church, Ed, where various religious doctrines come to die.

    And I am envious that God tawks to you all the time in your head,
    because the only time I am clear He is talking to me is when I write to him and He sometimes physically communicates back by delivering what I call sudden electric-flashes in my chest area, similar to your foot falling asleep only much more pleasant.

  5. You’ve got Kirk Herbstreit criticizing UCLA fans for the lack of fan attendance. Such a weak-ass schedule, who can blame them? UCLA is trying to peddle an inferior product to its fans and they’re not having it. Dilly-Dilly!

    1. I’ve criticized USC for scheduling Rice, but they’re FBS and served as as a good tune-up game. Fresno and Notre Dame is a good non-conference schedule.

      2. MG I think what you want to say is shut down UCLA completely. It’s a kind of radical idea, but I think it has merit. I can envision a scenario, like with Reagan, where you would send in the National Guard to battle antifa.

  9. What was the question? Sometimes I get distracted by all the banter.
    Oh yes why no media backlash against Ucla for their weak schedule? Simple answer Ucla is irrelevant. The media doesn’t care. The other day the PAC 12 commissioner tried downgrade the Bruins by saying they’d barely break even playing in the Big 10. A few days later the comish appealed to the board of regents to repeal the deal with the Big 10. The only person desperately caring at the Bruins.
