UCLA is our whipping boy?

Cal is by no means Stanford's nemesis by that definition! Vice versa, surely.

Seems about right that Mike Leach and the Cougs would be our/Shaw's nemesis. The rest of Mick's submissions are delightfully on point, IMHO, though I'd say C.al qualifies more as "annoying little brother who occasionally rises up to seriously provoke."

Fixed it:

Arch-enemy --> U$C
Arch-rival--> UDFG
Enemy--> Arizona State
Rival/whipping boy--> UCLA
Foe--> Colorado
Adversary --> Washington
Nemesis --> Washington State
Cal's nemesis --> Stanford
Opponent-->Oregon State
Antagonist --> Oregon
Combatant --> Arizona
Challenger--> Utah
Annoying little brother who occasionally rises up to seriously provoke --> Cal

They have beaten us once in the last decade (last year), and we have a 12-1 record against them in the last 13 games.

But also, I think they still have the lifetime lead.

Still haven't gotten over the massive 4th quarter comeback with Wlat looking perplexed and befuddled on the sidelines. . . .
