One enduring, and endearing, feature of a venue rich with them is its unchanging name. The Rose Bowl Operating Company — a management board whose 13 members are nominated by an assortment of local grandees and institutions, including UCLA — and the Rose Bowl Legacy Foundation, which helps raise funds for capital improvements, seem determined not to venture down the road to corporate naming rights.
Paraphrasing that memorable tune from Phantom of The Opera , alI I ask of them ( not you, lol ) is to keep doing what they do best, play hard and everything will take care of itself. Look, Trojans lost to Utah whom we beat handily. This is good omen indeed
I will never get over that infamous game between our two teams when Pete Carroll called for a two point conversion even when the game was already in his pocket. He did so to rub it in our face and piss us off. Guys, it is high time we beat them this year, finally.
Good grades, DD, and I think they are fair and tell us a lot about this team.
I know many of us (as a fanbase) have downplayed a couple of the wins - So Alabama because it was a last second FG over a middie, and UW because they were probably overrated - and there might be the tendency to say that Utah wasn't as good as we thought too, we were at home, etc etc., and that's a rational argument.
The other way to look at it is that we are a really good complimentary team with a fantastic offense that gives an aggressive bend-don't-break defense an opportunity to make plays, and I'm coming around to this side of it. So that's why I think a whole bunch of A's is well deserved after the Utah game.
But it doesn't mean I'm confident about the Oregon game this weekend at all. - lol
I'm still at 10 wins is a success but not outstanding. With this schedule 11 wins is what I expect.
Oh and for you youngsters:
