Next game UCLA wins, that furor will be long forgotten. What UCLA fans
come to expect from UCLA football is not good football or excellence in
any shape or form, but mediocrity with a chance to beat USC every now and
then. Call me cynical but I doubt that Dorrell's reign comes to an end
unless he posts a losing season two years in a row.

Even then, we will move on to some other bargain basement coach that has
Donahue's "good enough for UCLA" stamp of approval and the cycle will
start all over again.
