I remember going to a UCLA/USC game back in the mid 80's. Came late. Left early. Was like watching a tennis match. Boring as hell. Same for a saints/rams game in the late 80's. Saints fans were louder than all of the Rams fans. Probably because we started drinking at 10:00 a.m

There are better things to do in LA than watch women try to play sports.

WBB will never draw a crowd in LA. Doesn’t matter how good they are. They could be South Carolina good it won’t matter.


I dunno about that. USC vs Kansas drew 9,000 fans last night. That's better than 95% of the programs out there.........................

Californians are horrendous sports fans. The only good reason I have ever been given is sports are like the 10th option. Beach,hiking, Mexico, mountains, perfect weather every day there are just lots of options.

No, it’s a great sports town and has a lot more to chose from than we do in Louisiana, sadly. Other than that, the entire State of California is a miserable place cause of the idiot libs

College sports take a back seat to other forms of entertainment in L.A. Los Angeles isn’t some backwater town in rural America where high school and college sports are the only game in town. Lots of competition for the entertainment dollar. Also, unlike Middle-America, Los Angeles is a city of transplants who have other loyalties.

I lived in Los Angeles for quite a few years. Hated it there. More delusional fans there then even on this board. They don’t support college teams in the least. And for the topper, daily traffic there is like after an LSU football game. I traveled the absolutely dreaded 405 daily. So to hear weak minded fans here bitching about traffic after a game 7 times per year is similar to watching a pussy bleed out.

LSU fans, go back, find your balls, suck it up and stop being like those weak Los Angeles people. It’s 7 times per year. Since I’ve been back, the once strong minded Louisiana people are getting closer and closer to being neutered like those West coast boys.

Doesn't really matter. When we play them it'll be on a neutral court but the crowd will probably be mostly big mad Iowa fans cheering against us.

Years ago UCLA played in a regional at the old Box. In two games they played in front of more fans than all their home games that year combined.

San Diego and Miami are bad sports towns, too. Common theme is they’re places with amazing weather for being able to do things other than going to a game.

Big cities rarely support colleges as much as their pro teams. LA is actually an exception when USC is good at football. They show up for SC and sell tickets to visitors for the NFL games.

yup, like I said earlier USC is the bigger draw. They are a 1 seed with a phenom freshman and have support from well known people in the city.

I went to school at USC and was walking around campus on a Saturday and thought it was actually a bye week. It’s a different planet out there.

UCLA leds the Nation in rebounding and LSU is ranked 2nd.

UCLA ,not only beat Colorado this year but beat them Twice!

UCLA beat USC and a good UCONN team

For the poster who said this is LSU"s game and they should win by 10-15 . Where are you getting your information??

LSU is 0-3 Against great teams this year.

LSU is still probably the Vegas favorite. Only because of Mulkley

I was in LA last month, total shite show. People are miserable there. They could care less about education and colleges


That’s because the California education system is inferior to the world class Louisiana education system. Some of the worse colleges in America are in California, while the highest institutions of learning are in Louisiana. No state cares more about education than La..
