Which, standing alone, is 1,000 times more important than all the women's crew and rugby national titles ever contested combined.

One NC 12 years ago somehow elevates you? give me a break. so i guess byu is a great college sports school too right? by that logic how is UCLA the #1 athletic school in the country? shouldn't north carolina state rank up there too?

Ummm yes they do. They mention how they are #1 in national championships. You think those came from football and basketball? edit: either the non basketball or football sports matter or they don't. If they don't you can't possibly rank UCLA #1.

OK, let's say the other sports don't matter. Cal hasn't been a national factor in either sport since Pete Newell left Berkeley. Does that make you feel better?

exhibit A: Notice no mention of football and basketball The Daily Bruin - Sears Cup standings name athletic department No. 2

It was UCLA’s seventh straight top five finish and best performance in the Sears Cup standings since the 1995-1996 season.

“I thought we had a great overall year,” UCLA Associate Athletic Director of recruiting Michael Sondheimer said. “Finishing second is a major accomplishment for us.

“UCLA has had a lot of great years but this was the best in a few years,” he added.

The Bruins won national titles this past season in men’s water polo, women’s indoor track and field, women’s gymnastics, men’s volleyball, and women’s water polo. Since women’s water polo is not yet a NCAA sponsored sport, however, it was not taken into consideration.

The five national titles was UCLA’s highest total since the 1983-84 season.

And if the Bruins received a timely hit, kicked the ball just right, or had been injury-free, several other UCLA sports could have brought more hardware to Westwood.

The UCLA softball team lost the championship game to Oklahoma 3-1 but had an excellent chance to win the game in the final inning. With runners at first and second with two outs, centerfielder Crissy Buck was called out for leaving early as she attempted to steal third base.

The Bruin men’s soccer team lost a four-overtime semifinal game 3-2 to eventual NCAA champion Indiana.

The UCLA men’s tennis team was picked by many to challenge for the NCAA title but their hopes were severely damaged when the Bruins’ No. 2 singles and No. 1 doubles player Brandon Kramer fractured his right wrist three days before tournament play.

From a school who pays the women's basketball coach $1 mil a year to flame Cal about caring about worthless sports is a little hypocritical no?

Tennessee has consistently been in the top 20 playing in America's toughest conference. Cal, on the other hand, has spent most of the last 40 years in football battling dreck like Oregon State and Stanford to stay out of the basement of a conference with exactly one real program.Now, apparently the demolition job we laid on you last year didn't take. Guess we'll have to march into that high school venue you call a stadium and do it all over again. Oh well, at least we're doing the football viewing public a favor. After we're done with you, everyone will again realize you're the same sham of a program you always are. Some things never change.

Says the man gushing with pride about national titles won in two sports in which most of the country don't even field varsity teams. Nice.

I think because UT doesn't field all the varsity sports (soccer, gymnastics, water polo), this likely hurts their chances for the irrelevant trophy. I know Cal, Stanford, UCLA, and Texas have a lot of teams, probably giving them a better chance to win it.

I heard Tedford is now in the elite class among the coaching fraternity.. We should just stay home come September, he'll expose us with another materful gameplan like he did last year. I'm really nervous about this one..

No, I am sorry for the way I behaved in here. Looking at my posts was sort of embarrassing. That Tennessee whiskey is bad stuff. I went out to the bar and stuff just got crazier as the night went on…:redface:

I'm sorry. I'm laughing so hard at the idea of a coach at Cal having a national championship incentive in his contract that I can't focus long enough to ridicule the rest of his deal.

Ah come on Hatvol! Can't you just be happy for us for a minute? Always so mean. That deal was a big deal to us Cal fans...

You were pretty crazy with the "Cal Bears are the Future" thing.

Now that we have him locked up, a National Championship is within reach. He will work twice as hard to get the NC incentive, I am sure of it.
