Heroism is not defined by one great act, but by a lifetime of right action.
At least GO Joe Bruin had a sense of humor.

That was humor? I quit reading after the (perhaps mock-) solemn protest against Pac-12 officiating including a lengthy quote of the targeting rule. So maybe I missed the funny part.

It did occur to me that as much as we fret over whether having to play USC/UCLA every year might cost us a win every few years, imagine how USC and (especially) UCLA feel. I mean, since the expansion to 12 teams and the institution of divisions, UCLA is 0-5 in the regular season (0-1 in the Pac-12 championship) against us.

the love you take....
Quote:However, we are compelled to request that you cease the annual meeting between Stanford and UCLA. The evidence is ample and incontrovertible that this pairing is a competitive mismatch. It is simply unfair to the North Divisions five other teams that Stanford is guaranteed a win every year. Likewise, it is unfair to the UCLA Bruins that their schedule contains a preordained loss every season.
Whether you choose to keep an annual pairing of USC/Stanford and UCLA/California, give each conference team one permanent cross-division rival, or simply allow for the open rotation of all inter-division games, fair play and human decency require to you terminate this game as an annual series.
As a last resort, we will remind you that the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution forbids chattel slavery, and the continuance of this series makes the conference complicit in Stanford head coach David Shaws sustained, wanton, and unlawful ownership of UCLA head coach Jim Mora.
Yeah, I just stare at my desk, but it looks like I'm working .I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work. Peter Gibbons
