UCLA can't fill up a tarped Rose Bowl. Even if they are ranked in the top 15? This does not bode well. Butts in seats is the gold standard. The Uncle Phils of the World eventually will get donor fatigue. Is this an effect of not having an on campus stadium? Or is it declining interest in football? Or is too many football options in LA these days?
For me, this whole year is all about growth and proof of concept. There's not a single game, even knowing the outcome, that I would bet on this year. Let the process and culture grow.
The only thing Tosh has promised is culture and process. I guess it's like his comparison to bamboo.
Chesney transferred a whole winning program with many of the coaches and 1/4 of the players. He does seem to inspire and well-coach his players, though, I must admit.
And, yeah, I, too, would like to see more success on the gridiron.
It's my prediction that Chesney is going to hit the UC academic standards wall over the next few years. And just look how the butts-in-seats is not happening for them, even as they are ranked. Fan and donor fatigue is already setting in, even though they aare undefeated?
Our o-line is still really bad. They are big but slow and not athletic.
Love this play calling! Spreading the ball around. What a difference.
Interesting that JKS is out.

Bob Chesney is doing a great job down there.
Exactly! They should be selling out every home game, now.
They have to bench Manning over there. He just doesn't have it.
Wow, they just said that Indiana's fumble today was their first fumble in 1400 snaps! What kind of coaching is that! how is that possible
Herbstreit has us as his Superdog today. So we got some folks believing in us a little bit!
I like Herbie. He says good things about Cal.
So does Saban.
They fear the Calgorithm. LOL

Nope. We were promised much. I see what Chesney is doing at UCLA without all the promises. I want wins!!
