Usually when College Football fans hear "blackout" they think of some Thursday night football game in the Big East or ACC where the home team wears all-black jerseys and ask all the fans to don black to the night game as well.In the case of the October 20th UCLA-Cal game, the words "black out" will have a whole new meaning. Former Google spokesman and environmental activist Nate Tyler is asking everyone in San Francisco to go without electricity for one hour between 8 PM and 9 PM that Saturday night.
If the game is selected as ABC's West Coast game of the week--which is likely since USC will be playing on the Notre-Dame Broadcasting Channel and this game will determine second place in the Pac Ten--that 8 PM to 9 PM time slot will coincide with the game's Fourth Quarter. Not that it matters. Winner goes to the Holiday Bowl.

Really? UCLA and Cal will determine the 2nd place team in the Pac-10? Just like that? At this point, I think UCLA will be lucky to be in the top-5 of the Pac-10.

This post confirms what I hoped was true but was afraid to believe. That 44-6 thrashing at the hands of mighty Utah was just a dream. A painful, embarrassing dream.

UCLA is going to be fine despite whatever anyone says. They lose one game and everybody thinks the world is comming to a end because of it. I am really getting sick of hearing it. HERE IS A NEWSFLASH PEOPLE The Bruins are 2-0 in the Pac Ten, which by the way they can still win and a National title is also still possible with only ONE Loss.Who cares idiotic "Black Out" that is planned in San Fran. I will be at the Rose Bowl to watch the game.
