AS for American Football. I have seen a bit of it on TV, mainly the superbowl which gets shown even here. It seems ok, like Rugby with padding. My sport is cricket, and a spot of tennis.

Dunno about greek life at Berkeley or Stanford, but UCLA does have a heavy duty Greek Life...
The American Football that you are watching is "professional"--like "Manchester United" and are commercialized... The stuff we are talking about is the "National Collegiate Athletic Association" and there are rankings that are rather far-fetched. If you attend UCLA, you'd need to know these things... Berkeley was better a couple of years ago, but now they suck. And Stanford was okay. But in the Pac-10, which is a region that sucks overall, the best team is USC Trojans--basically, UCLA's nemesis...
And for those who worship in Bracketology, welp, it only interesting during March Madness past the Final Four...
That still means, go canes!!! But I doubt it... Who's on top these days? Hayle, March Madness shifts everything...

Wait a minute... USC is not all that bad, yet... They may not be going to the Big Ball, but they make a BCS Bowl... LOL... It may be the Rose Bowl, but hey, it is a BCS...
I don't see other teams do that, in {Your Favorite} Tidy Bowl, making it to BCS.. And The Ohio State LOST to USC... Besides, USC can recruit better players in general, whereas UCLA can't...
ETA: ACC is about to whoop dat azz!!! Tebow's gone, LSU had their run--really ACC has Wake Forest, Terps, NC, and welp the Canes might take it back...

I wasn't referring to just sports.

And hey, Bunny Ranch ain't nowhere near Pac-10. 
It's more likely he was upset that his Waffle House hashbrowns weren't cooked to order.

And there weren't grits on the menu, true.
