UCLA coach says campus is safe

[huKSer]

UCLA coach Jim Mora got an emphatic introduction to the crosstown rivalry with USC when he created a stir with a controversial comment about campus safety during a radio interview Wednesday morning.


Mora was talking about recruiting with Roger Lodge on KLAA 830-AM when Lodge asked how he sold UCLA to recruits, and Mora responded with an answer perceived to be a shot at USC.

"When you're talking about UCLA, it's one of the great schools in the world -- not just America, but in the world," Mora said. "It's a safe, beautiful campus in a great area of town. I mean, we don't have murders one block off our campus."

Nor does UCLA have its most famous graduate "not" kill his former wife and her boyfriend.

This is pretty much true. Although I did get in a fight one time with a couple of guys near UCLA campus when I caught them in the act of stealing my car stereo. I won. OTOH, if it would have been near USC they probably would have just shot me and taken the whole car.
