Most important date in UCLA recent football history...

Not the day we hired Chip, that was fool's gold. Not the day he bolted to OSU, though the effects of that will be felt for awhile, not the day we hired DF, that will hurt for a little while but is unsustainable...

It's 2/13/15, the day Roquan Smith flipped from UCLA to Georgia. That guy was an absolute difference maker. Mora was coming off of his best season and we were primed for getting over the hump and really becoming elite. Then Smith flipped, the 2015 season was a step back, not forward, then Mora got divorced and checked out. The rest is history.
