Mora's tenure at UCLA would be viewed completely differently were it not for the Cardinal. We beat him in a close Pac-12 Championship game a few years ago, dealt him a crushing blow two years ago when his Bruins needed only to be our unranked squad to clinch a berth in the P12CG and a possible opportunity (had they won that game) to get into the playoffs, we crushed him on a nationally televised Thursday night game last year, and we stole that game this season. I know we all know this, but I think it's important not just that we've beaten them nine straight but that we've ripped their hearts out over and over.
That being said, prior to the headhunting that he seems to have encouraged recently, I've always respected Mora. He's always come across to me as a good guy, and I've always thought that if I were a UCLA alum, I'd be proud to call him my coach. I've changed my mind on that, but I still think he deserves more time at UCLA.

Please clear the field! The game is not over!
