| Best Pac-Ten Rivalry? What do you guys think? IMO, UCLA vs. USC hands down.

| Despite my obvious bias, I'm going to have to go with Cal-Stanford over USC-UCLA for a few reasons: 1. The UCLA/USC rivalry is primarily football-driven. You don't hear much hoopla when USC plays UCLA in say, basketball. (This might be due to the fact that UCLA and USC basketball has generally sucked over the past few years.) Only football. On the other hand, the Cal-Stanford rivalry extends to every single sport, from basketball to football to rugby to swimming. 2. The Stanford-Cal rivalry is also steeped in much more than athletics--it extends to academics as well. Not so for USC-UCLA, as neither school is viewed as the conference's academic powerhouse (and that is by no means any knock on either school). 3. The Stanford-Cal rivalry is the origin of the most famous event in college football--simply known as "The Play." see it here: http://alumni.berkeley.edu/KCAA_Mult..._Play_1982.asp 4. The Stanford-Cal rivalry is older than the USC-UCLA rivalry; although the OU-OSU rivalry is older than both of the others, the Stanford-Cal rivalry gets the nod because it is much more widely known nationally then OU-OSU.

| Alright Cardinal ya got me. After reliving "The Play" I'm changing to Cal-Stanford lol. Both are good but Cal-Stanford is my new #1, UCLA-USC is now #2. Very convincing stuff.

| Speaking of "the play," one of the Cal guys who lateraled before going down in a pile had his knee down prior to his lateral. The play should have stopped there. If only they had instant replay back then...

| Great point CARDINALsinner, BIG GAME week not only includes the football matchup, but it also includes the BIG SPIKE (volleyball) played on Friday and the BIG SPLASH (water polo) played on Saturday morning. And I agree that one big reason that this game is recognized on a national level is because of "the play". BTW, don't know if anyone else noticed but the first guy to recover the kick is the same guy who scores at the end of the play. CHECK IT OUT! GO BEARS, KEEP THE AXE |
