As UCLA won its 100th NCAA title (this one coming in women's water polo) the whole nation (by nation I mean universities that actually care about athletics) looked on in awe. Bruins from around the nation wrote on message boards how their colleagues from various conferences (i.e. SEC, Big XII, Big Ten, etc) called to congratulate them on their alma mater's achievement. But, you never would guess the one "school" that tried to belittle such a great acheivement. That's right the arrogant, pompous, idiots of The "University" of Second Choice.
They put up on their athletic site a day or two after UCLA reaches 100 that THEY truly have the best athletic department because they have numerous NCAA (95) titles AND national championships that the NCAA does not take into account their football titles (11). Good grief can they not accept the fact the world does NOT revolve around them?!They're like the meat head older brother that can't stand to see his little brother grow up not only to be the smartest, but also the best looking and most athletic in the family. This same older brother is also making poor choices leading to investigations (i.e. Bushgate, Sanchez sexual assault case, racist linemen on Facebook, etc) while little bro' has made some mistakes here and there but overall is actually contributing to society in a great way (i.e. leaders in hiv research, finding new therapies to deal with mental abnormalities, being home to alumni as Ralph Bunche, Arthur Ashe, Jackie Robinson; being the "Peoples' University" etc). To add stupidity to arrogance they don't even do a good job of getting all the facts. If they did the same math for UCLA and add the non-NCAA recognized titles then they would have realized that UCLA has 121 overall titles compared to their 106. Good freakin' grief!
One other point of argument for the suc-sters is that UCLA has won a lot of titles in women's sports. WTF? Does that matter? Isn't that a good thing? Would they like to add mysogeny to their list of titles along with @$#@, !#$@#!@, and my favorite @#$@#$?
I don't think I can hate an institution more.

Hey big guy, congrats to UCLA. I see you're still harboring major resentment towards USC (woops, Is it OK to type those letters in that order on your blog?) I'm not so sure this resentment fits too well with all your positive reinforcement propaganda :)
wow...do i sense some bitterness in this post? :) congrats to ucla, despite the other's jealousy.
Sorry Nate, I'm with the USC fans on this. Women's sports titles don't count.
Maybe a point system would be better here. Obviously, not all championships are equal. So, here is a sample point system...
Football championship - 10 points
Basketball championship - 7 points
Hockey championship - 3 points
Baseball championship - 2 points
Any other male sport championship - 1 point
Any women's championship - .5 points

And YOU have a gf? Honestly, I give up (throwing hands into the air and hanging head)!
