Comments on: Looking back on 2006: The UCLA game https://thecrawfordfamily.net/blog/?p=416 My personal/Catholic blog Sat, 08 Oct 2011 01:31:23 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.0.38 By: Ken Crawford https://thecrawfordfamily.net/blog/?p=416#comment-506 Thu, 26 Jul 2007 20:55:27 +0000 /blog/?p=416#comment-506 Man, I specifically wanted to mention in the 2007 learnings section that the last win in the Rose Bowl was a LONG time ago, but it must have slipped my mind while I was writing it up. The home team hasn’t lost in Cal vs. UCLA since Cal upset UCLA at the Rose Bowl in1999 (or, as you pointed out, in Los Angeles at all since beating USC in 2000 at the Coliseum).

As a side note, one of Holmoe’s few upsides as a coach is that he played the LA teams well. In ’99 and ’00, he went undefeated against UCLA and USC accounting for 4 of Cal’s 7 wins in those two years.

Overall, I’m still an optimist for the game against UCLA and feel that the time for this home field advantage trend to end has come. Nevertheless I completely agree that too many people are overlooking this game on Cal’s schedule.

Sure, Dorrell & Co. will choke a game or two away, but they’ve definitely got talent and will be, as always, dangerous at home. Remember, Cal hasn’t won in Los Angeles since 2000.
