A great response to UCLAs protect the logo grandstanding in the Los Angeles Times. (Full disclosure: Hes a band alum) As season five of USCs sanctions comes to a close, what has UCLA accomplished in the years its main rival was on NCAA-mandated life support? Have a 10-win season? Once, just like USC. Finish with the best record in the Pac-12 South? Once, just like USC. Win a bowl game? Once, just like USC. Upset a top-10 team? Once, but USC did it twice. Be ranked AP No. 1? Nope, but USC was. Be ranked in the AP top 10? For four weeks, vs. USCs eight. Win the conference championship? Nope. Play in a BCS bowl? Nope. Ban the USC drum major from stabbing the field in 2012? Yes! Plant the UCLA flag midfield at the Coliseum in 2013? Yes!! Deface the Arizona State logo in 2014? Yes!!! Send an injured walk-on receiver to protect the logo last Saturday? Yes!!!! Clearly, the standout accomplishment for UCLA football in the five seasons it had a chance to dominate the Pac-12 South was protecting the logo. When will the banner-raising ceremony for the Undisputed Logo-Protecting National Champs 2012, 2013, 2014 be scheduled? Dan Schwartz Tempe, Ariz.
