My two favorite teams are Texas and UCLA. Fuck my life.

Being a UCLA fan is a torturous existence.  We should be so much better than we are.  I hate being a fan of this team.

Could be worse.  Think Nebraska

So exactly "how" good do you think UCLA should be?  At what level of winning would you be happy. 

My buddy Larry (UCLA '87) is a season ticket holder.  I asked him the same question.  He said win 1 of 3 against USC, and go to a Holiday Bowl level bowl every year, and he's good with it.

That seems about right for them. And maybe catch lightning in a bottle once a decade and compete for a conference title.

We should make the playoff once every 10 years and win the conference twice a decade at a minimum.  We are the preeminent public university in the country (fuck Berkeley).  We are in the hotbed of recruiting.  No reason we shouldn’t be much better.

Well, OK, but you've been a great university in a great area for your entire existence, and you've never really been a power.  Donahue had a good bowl run, and you had a Heisman winner when I was shitting my pants the first time around (I'm proud to say I had a 5-decade run of no pants-shitting, but that's over now). 

So, you want to be something that you've never been.   No doubt it's got something to do with living in the shadow of a blue blood.
