Message: [QUOTE="manleyzoo, post: 2123160, member: 519"] Those who count the money at UCLA love Alford - attendance is way up from last year, they're filling the house for conference games and the students have come back to Pauley. In L.A., because there's no shortage of fun things to do, the fact that he's put fannies in seats is very important. And, he's competing well with Arizona in recruiting and has slowed down the migration of good local talent to Oregon. Let's not underestimate how much the locals love his style of play - fast and exciting and fun to watch. He's brought showtime back to L.A. with big time talent at the same time as the Lakers stink. Also it's not only in SoCal that people are paying attention to UCLA, it's also in NorCal because Stanford and Cal are boring and they stink. [/QUOTE]
