Why I hate that UCLA beat Tennessee!

There are six reasons why I hate that UCLA beat Tennessee!

1. The GENIUS of Norm Chow showed through...look at quarterback's Kevin Craft's radical improvement from the four interceptions in the first half to two long drives in the fourth quarter. I realize that my beloved alma mater USC has not won a national championship since Norm Chow left for the NFL.

2. Not one reporter of the (UC)LA Times even mentioned that UCLA should have been whistled for an "illegal man downfield" two plays before they scored their go-ahead touchdown at the end of the fourth quarter. The ESPN announcers both commented on how lucky UCLA was that the referees didn't blow their whistles when more than one lineman was downfield before Craft threw the pass. If the same scenario had happened for USC, the (UC)LA Times reporters would have cried that the Trojans "stole" the game on the "no call!"

3. UCLA got a bigger front page picture and a larger picture on the front page of the sports section in this morning's (UC)LA Times than USC got on Sunday 8/31/08 after they beat Virginia with a near flawless game....Afterall, who is #1 anyway!

4. In the UCLA "FYI" articles, there is always a picture of a Bruin player or coach, WHILE, in the USC "FYI" articles, there are pictures of a Trojan player or coach maybe 20% of the time, if that.

5. I have to endure Bill Plaschke's "adoring, gushing" articles about UCLA this week and in the future!

6. The (UC)LA Times bias for UCLA over USC lives on in every sport!!!!
