I know it is heresy on this board to defend a Kal coach, but I don't think it is so unreasonable for him to want to be on the same scheduling plane with the teams (like Oregon and Washington) he has to compete with for a North championship.

Whether it's heresy or not depends on the details (and the responder). However, that isn't really what Yikes was talking about. He was talking about wanting an 8 game conference schedule, and to get that was willing to give up the guaranteed LA games.

To be clear, he wasn't even saying he necessarily wanted an 8 game conference schedule.  Kyle Bonagura tweeted a bunch of things clarifying what Dykes actually said.  Basically it boils down to he thinks every conference should play the same number of conference games, and that he acknowledged playing $C/UCLA every year is a disadvantage (which I don't agree with in this day and age) but his preference would not be to end them. 

I'm all for mocking Cal, but everything I certainly agree with him it's silly the conferences play schedules with a different number of conference games, although my preference is we all play 9 (or more).
