My better half had to deal my buddy and I howling the fight song into the night in the backyard after the Stanford win. I pity her if we beat UCLA.

Of course, SDSU can beat them. UCLA was 3-9 last year and Rocky never let's his teams get intimidated by other teams. See Stanford and Boise State on the road. And as noted this is a trap game for UCLA. They play Cincinnatti on the road, SDSU at home and then Oklahoma. They could definitely overlook the Aztecs. The Aztecs will need to stop the run and control the football with their own running game. UCLA does not have much talent as they had a mass exodus of players leave the program, but they would seem to be well coached. It is a winnable game.

I was in LA Last time we played USC. Great game with impressive goal line stand(s) by our Aztecs. We were robbed by really bad call in that game. We got a fumble for a TD which was wrongly called back. Lee Hamilton was the USC Broadcast guy at the time and even he said it was a bad call.
Yes they are too Chicken S--t to play us. I guess they have nothing to gain and a lot to lose when we whoop em.

UCLA has the national hype machine working for them, being ranked in the Top 25.
We got big fish to fry.

Orlando Sentinel has UCLA as No. 65. Aztecs at 48. Interesting.

To my knowledge, USC won't schedule home and homes with any Group of 5 school. Considering we've had just a single one-off with a Pac 12 school this decade, which was Washington in 2012 and that was scheduled several years prior, it now appears to be SDSU policy not to play road games at Pac 12 schools unless they agree to a home and home arrangement. It's therefore unlikely we will be playing USC in the foreseeable future.

If that is SDSU's policy I think it is short sighted. SDSU will effectively take themselves out of consideration for several potential games that could increase their exposure, monetization and recruiting in the future.

Just as short sighted would be a team in the hunt for the NY6 bowl killing their shot before conference play starts. It isn't a bad idea to be a bit more analytical than being quasi-tough guy or looking for cash over a successful OOC.

You don't need to remind us of that. Besides, the members of this year's team had nothing to do with the past. It means nothing to them. When they go out on the field it will be the first time they have faced UCLA and the record for them is 0-0. So, this will be their opportunity to start something new for the AZTECS!

As a graduate alumnus of both schools, I don't concern myself with who will win, not because I want to remain neutral but because I literally don't care. All I care about regarding this game is how much I will have wagered, and with who, based on the numbers. That said, perhaps one should look past the myopia regarding this game and, rather, focus on how the team performs after this game. Past State victories over Pac-12 schools, while creating initial chest thumping, have resulted in losses to MW schools as well as embarrassment in the previous two bowl games, that ultimately rendered these wins pointless. So perhaps the question should be, if the Aztecs manage to beat a rebuilding UCLA team, will this win also ultimately be pointless.

SDSU will effectively take themselves out of consideration for several potential games that could increase their exposure, monetization and recruiting in the future. I see your point, but I disagree. It would be short sighted to change the SDSU position. Each of the other PAC schools do home and homes with SDSU, except USC and Oregon. Hold out on those two, until they give in, if they do. Otherwise, the others will see that they can do the same and refuse to do home and homes. With every PAC12 victory, SDSU becomes a more a more worthwhile OCC matchup that even USC and Oregon would want to take.

I can also see your point. SDSU has been able to leverage home and home deals better than Fresno. And as a destination, San Diego is a much more attractive place than Fresno for a PAC 12 school to travel to in terms of aesthetics and recruiting. Although I attended Fresno, I am a Santa Barbara native, which has a lot more in common with San Diego than with Fresno. Fresno would love to play a school like Stanford, but they wont do it, not even a one off at their place. So Fresno will continue to take offers to play at Cal, Oregon, Washington, USC, UCLA, etc.

This will be the first Rocky Long lead team to face UCLA. Yes, they could lose, but they could also win. You know even after all the years & frustration it takes only one victory to end the curse, and you will never hear it or be able to say those things again. I do not for one second discount the Bruins, but also understand anything can happen including an AZTEC victory! I will not give up until we do have that victory! You & others here sound as though you already have.
