President Biden is right. Political satire is one of the oldest and most important forms of free speech. It challenges those in power while using humor to draw more people in to the discussion. That’s why people in influential positions have always targeted it for censorship.

Blake Snell is the first #Dodgers SP to finish 7 innings with 12 K's and not allow a run. #SnellZilla

This is legitimately the dumbest idea i continuously see on this site. Sofi is not as close as people want to believe and students that aren’t down for a 45 minute drive aren’t going to be convinced by a 35 minute one. Not to mention, there is virtually no tailgating permitted, meanwhile the pregame scene at the Rose Bowl is arguably the no. 1 thing UCLA fans have still going for them. 100% no.
Max Browne@MaxBrowne4

UCLA needs to play at SoFi instead of the Rose Bowl. Easier for students, TV optics (can pack the lower bowl), and can turn the page on a new era. Photos of an empty Rose Bowl have been going on for many years and it hurts the brand. This hurts the Pac 12 traditionalist in me but 🤷

@wilnerhotline they shouldn't have a say - UC Regents own said property. And those NIMBYs' property values are in no small part due to proximity to UCLA. <smallest violin in the world plays>

@BearFlagFan @wilnerhotline I saw Block at most of the home games I attended. And when I had the fortune to be in an alumni suite/box he dropped by and spent plenty of time chatting with donors. He was very engaged throughout his tenure, and so was Carnesale. Block was there for @UCLAFootball full stop.

Gene Block, the former Chancellor, was an academic biologist and statistician. A statistician looks at the UCLA budget and sees revenue of $53.5 billion (not a typo). If athletics DOUBLED their income to $200M, it would represent 0.37% (one-third of 1%) of UCLA’s revenue. That’s a rounding error for UCLA. The new Chancellor says he recognizes the intangible benefits of a successful football team on school enrollment, pride and alumni donations. (Private companies list this type of brand recognition as ‘Goodwill’ on balance sheets and it’s worth billions for top brands, so he has a point.) Great. Can he convince his bosses, the UC Regents? They have him on a much tighter spending and decision leash than Block, clawing back local control and penalizing UCLA to benefit Cal. That’s a dynamic on full display during the “Calimony” hearings and eventual $10M annual penalty UCLA must pay Cal for leaving the Pac-12. That is the real challenge. All the rest - the remote Rose Bowl; the flaccid NIL budget; the tremendous costs of hiring 4- 5-star coaches; creating a football operations infrastructure to match its peers; convincing 4-/5-star athletes - all of this is just tactical challenges once EVERYONE buys off on a program direction. Everyone should remain skeptical given UCLA’s track record.

So much of the UCLA angst/finger-pointing on this platform misses the central issue: If you spend 17 years with a chancellor who doesn't know if footballs are inflated or stuffed -- and worse: doesn't care -- there's no hope for sustained success. None, zero, zip.

@5thDownCFB @UCLAchancellor there should be room for a "yes, and" relationship - I see plenty of apparel/gear sites where UCLA is conspicuously absent, prob. due to ASUCLA $ arrangement (which I am admittedly unfamiliar with). Bottom line: preserve ASUCLA income stream & expand to get more $ outside of it

One change @UCLAchancellor must make is radically reorganizing the athletic department's relationship w/ASUCLA regarding apparel. The athletic department must have athletic apparel revenue going to its department. The ASUCLA arrangement is from a totally different (over) era

the moral of the story this evening for @dodgers is to let starters like @snellzilla4 pitch 7 innings allowing only 2 hits and to hold off on calls to the 'pen. love DR but Snell stood up to him and said he's got this. He did. With authority. #PhilliesVsDodgers

@5thDownCFB not a popular stance, I know, but it avoids the fans-dressed-as-seats problem and creates some energy and crowd noise that's notably absent at Rose Bowl. case in point: tonight

Here's question for UCLA fans, w/Bruins trailing UNLV 17-0 in the first half: A) Catastrophic season, fire coaching staff & AD & start over B) See team fight to 3-4 wins, find optimism & hope improvement continues. Maybe 5-6 wins year 3, maybe 5-6-7 year four 👇👇👇
