(#5) Their mascot is a bear? That's so every team in the UC system.
Okay, not every school, but both Cal and UC Riverside have bears for mascots making the Bruin as unoriginal as every director who comes out of their film school.
-
(#19) With regards to their mascot, they apparently believe quantity trumps quality.
The UCLA History Project details how Joe and Josephine, the Bruin mascots, evolved from a tradition of having live bears perform at home football games to entertain the crowd. Fitting seeing as their football program often bears an uncanny resemblance to a circus. -
(#10) Want to park at UCLA? Good luck snagging one of the, oh, nine available meters surrounding the campus.
Almost makes that handi-parking thing seem downright understandable, but not quite. -
(#7) The Heisman trophy. Singular.
UCLA's only Heisman was produced in 1967 by Gary Beban, according to Heisman.com. He played with the Washington Redskins until 1970 and then became a real estate agent. USC's Heisman winners may be (alleged) murderers and lovers of the Kardashians, but at least there's been more than one. -
(#18) Brand recognition.
Ever go to the East Coast and tell someone you went to UCLA? No, because you don't want to be embarrassed when your college draws a blank stare. -
(#11) The only way UCLA could win a conference title in football was for the division to split into two during a time of USC bowl sanctions.
And they still finished that season with a losing record (6-8). CollegeFootballPoll.com records the Bruins' last division title win as happening in 1998.

Every year in the first week of March Madness, UCLA students will unscrupulously humiliate the USC mascot.
