had our chance and it passed. going to need to wait another 10/15 years for USC to hit a down point which is just frustrating cause injuries derailed it
Thinking like this is why UCLA has never been a power and never will be.
UCLA is in a metro area that has over 13 million people. In a state with 39 million plus. There is not excuse for you not being a power. Quit blaming it on USC.

im more blaming it on guerrero. the football program has been neglected in such an astonishing way since the turn of the 21st century. it took a lot of begging and pleading for this facility to get done

They've had their share of pretty good years, but to be fair to the bRuins there does seem to be a correlation between when they are "good" and USC is sub-par. The 1990's are a pretty good example. They were one upset loss at Miami of actually making the BCS Championship game. This article in the OC Register details the reasons for their demise.
I won't lie though, the new facilities won't hurt them, especially with out of state recruits who want to have their college experience in So Cal, and aren't considering (or being considered by) USC.

Especially since USC is parked in more or less a shithole and UCLA is in Westwood.

That's a bit deceiving though. California only has a ~6% AA population. Add the number of schools in the region, and you see why UCLa has struggled. Oregon and Wash also recruit the area hard. These facilities should help tho.

Southern cal outrecruits ucla.
Years ago someone posted the correlation of top classes to finish in sec west. Very high correlation.
Landon collins got two takeaways in lsu game. 5 star guys matter. They dont all make it. And neither do 4 star but many do.
Losing cam and collins was difference between lsu and bama.
Its worse in los angeles. Ucla rarely sniffs top 15. Lsu is often top 10.
