UCLA - congrats to Clemson Leadership and Administration


May 20, 2020, 2:40 PM

Today I read a story in the WSJ on UCLA. Reminded me that UCLA is a large/influential institution. Both on a National and Global basis. Back in 2017 UCLA played Clemson in a midweek soccer game. Tigers crushed the Bruins. I compliment the Clemson Head Coach, Clemson Athletic Leadership and the Clemson Administration to organize this match-up. It added value to Clemson's brand. I'd love to see UCLA football make the same trip.

I remember that USC game in my freshman year. It was in 1966, and the Trojans scored 5 tds but no extra points to win 30-0. Ok so I had to look up the details in "The Taps", but I did remember the no extra points.

They went for two after every score. Failed each time.

Blatantly trying to run up the score as if 40-0 was more impressive than 35-0.

Ended up only 30-0 so KMA SoCal !

How did playing UCLA in soccer enhance Clemson's brand?


May 20, 2020, 3:25 PM

Is this a serious post?

Bruins have traditionally been a soccer power. Won championships and played for them (against CU in semis as

I recall). I agree he is wrong but it is not outrageous to say beating a top program enhances our rep.

Im not sure playing UCLA in football


May 20, 2020, 4:00 PM

really gains Clemson any national respect from an opponent standpoint but playing a game against them in LA would be pretty awesome. With our presence growing in CA, it would go a long for kids to see Clemson visit Southern CA. It would have more impact to play Southern Cal, however.
