Why Does UCLA Always Have Excuse for Losing?

An all-time record for sour grapes? It seems that every time the Bruins lose to the Huskies in Seattle, it is one play that costs them the game. Last time it was a dropped pass. This time it was broken pass coverage.

Forget that UCLA was outhit in the second half or that a mistake in the Washington secondary allowed UCLA to score its first touchdown. Maybe the Bruins do eat quiche, at least the Trojans took their Pac-10 loss with meat and potatoes.
