10/9 UCLA and thier football team can burn!!!
Anybody else watch? If not for thier #21 Drew they wouldn't have
scored half thier points. -mrauser
\_ Fuck off. The only universities for whose football programs I have
any respect are University of Chicago and Caltech.
\_ Cal didn't deserve to win the game. Our QB sucks, our special teams
sucks. And even if we did win, we still wouldn't beat USC given
that we couldn't stop Drew who's a poor man's Reggie Bush.
\_ Yeah, they couldn't score half the time in the red zone.
Let's face it, Cal football just isn't up to par to the likes
of UCLA and USC. We have never been and will never be known
as a football school. Anyway, I don't really give a crap
because compared to our academics both schools blow chunks.
\_ Up to par with UCLA?! are you kidding? why don't you
check out our record against them for the past few years.
\_ Uhm, hate to burst your bubble, but in the past, what
forty to fifty years Cal hasn't appeared once in the
Rose Bowl, while UCLA has shown up about half a dozen
times, and they won it twice. UCLA also produced
Troy Aikman and also has the winningest coach in
Pac 10 history. Cal hasn't won a title since the
Pac 10 became the Pac 10 and you'd have to go back
to the early fifties to find Cal in a Rose Bowl
game. As for overall athletics, UCLA has the most
NCAA championships in the nation. And don't even
compare Cal football to USC. The whole purpose of
USC is to have a football program, that and I suppose
the medical center in downtown to serve all the poor
folks. Heck, Cal's record is probably worse than
\_ you forgot film school
Stanford overall. When we actually win a Rose Bowl
in our lifetime, that's when I would consider Cal
to have a football program on par with UCLA/USC.
BTW, Cal has NEVER won a Rose Bowl under the Pac-10.
You'd have to go all the way back to the 1920s to
find Cal winning a Bowl.
\_ For a little historical perspective, Street & Smith's recently
published their "50 Greatest College Football Programs of All
Time". In the Pac-10, USC was 2, Washington 20, Cal 27, UCLA 31,
Stanford 33. Personally, I would agree that over the past 50
years UCLA has had a more impressive program, but our Pappy
Waldorf and Wonder Team squads were better than anything UCLA
has ever put on the field.
\_ let's talk about the modern era, please.
\_ Well, since the modern era begins after the mid-18th
century...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_era
\_ Since 1990, Cal is 9-7 against UCLA, and 6-8-1 against
USC. -tom
\_ yea, but before 1990, Cal had not beaten UCLA for like
15 years or something. Still, the current team isn't
too bad. Those two backs are superb. All we need is
a good quarterback, and a little tweaking with the D.
Or we can try calling all run plays like the
Nebraska team of a few years back, and see how that
goes. Tedford is a good coach, but I think he got
out play-called in the UCLA game.
\_ let's talk about the modern era, please. -tom
\_ sorry young man, but my memory dates back to
before 1990. |

| en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_era Other terms, such as Moder n Period, modern times, the Modern Age, or the Modern Era, are commonly used. Some historians also use the terms the terms New World or the Prog ressive Age to denote the recent period of time in history. edit Characteristics The concept of the modern world as distinct from an ancient world of hist orical and outmoded artifacts rests on a sense that the modern world is primarily the product of relatively recent and revolutionary change. Ancien Rgime in France, and as a result of the Napoleonic Wars, served to introduce political modernity in much of Western Europe. The American and French Revolutions ended the role of absolute monarchies to do as they wished in the world. edit Science and technology Revolutions in science and technology have been no less influential than political revolutions in changing the shape of the modern world. Raw goo ds could be transported in huge quantities over vast distances and manuf actured quickly and then marketed all over the world, making Britain int o a very wealthy country. Industrial Revolution initiated by mechanical automation of the m anufacture of cotton cloth and the use of steam engines, commenced in th e 18th century in Great Britain, followed in the 19th century by a later series of developments, which saw modern systems of communication and t ransportation introduced in the form of steamships, railroads and the te legraph. contraception allowed for greater personal choices in these inti mate areas of personal life. The Arts The Modern Age, when used in reference to the arts, is the period from ar ound the beginning of the 20th century, up to the present day. post-modern, in reality this is just a co ntinuation of the characteristics of modern art. Modern art is typified by self-awareness, and by the manipulation of form or medium as an integ ral part of the work itself. Whereas pre-modern art merely sought to rep resent a form of reality, modern art intends to encourage the audience t o question their perceptions, and thereby the fundamental nature, of art itself. These new ideas were derived from the writings of such people as: (Note: The list below is not comprehensive by any means. To name all the thinkers and personalities who helped shape the modern age would be a vo luminous undertaking. edit Partisan use of the term Worldwide The phrase "Worldwide" has tremendous emotional appeal, and is used in va rious countries not only by persons from professional historians to self -taught curmudgeons but by political groups which want to impose their v iew of reality upon their countrymen and even the whole world. The easie st way to do this is to establish a benchmark year and leave the particu lars to specialists. Whigs, who used the term "modern" for generations thereafter to gain credit. Later generations and political parties did not consider this a sufficient change to merit the term. socialists to concei ve that the next great revolution would start someplace other than in Fr ance. But the Russians have always compared themselves to the French. Meiji Restoration of 1858 is considered equivalent to the Fre nch Revolution of 1789, but haven't assimilated a form of the word moder n for Tokugawa. As for the Third World, the obvious benchmarks are colon ization by European imperial powers and the subsequent decolonization in the twentieth century. But "modern" and "contemporary" are not used for this purpose. |
