New Donovan rumors

Supposed to be an announcement today.  The big news on Yahoo was from an anonymous source, saying that Coach Donovan would stay at Florida.  We'll see.  (By the time I get the requisite 200 words in, the news conference will probably be over.  I guess I can fill with a little blurb about one of my favorite profs at UCLA (who may still be there.) I got lucky and had a professor, not a TA, for freshman English.  My prof was destined from birth to teach English - his name was George Bernard Tennyson.  A GREAT teacher.  I hope is still teaching freshman English.  What a break for me to get a teacher like that my first semester in the Big U.)

Well, apparently that wasn't 200 words.  My first Bruin football game was in 1960 (WAAAY before my freshman year.)  Billy Kilmer was our star tailback, running out of the single wing.  He made an 80 yard run against Air Force.

Still not 200 words.  OK.  My favorite game against justsc - 1966 (I think).  We were behind 16-6 with four minutes to go.  mike garrett had run up and down the field on us.  But in the last four minutes, we got a long TD pass from Gary Beban, a two-point conversion, and then an on-sides kick, followed by a long pass to Kurt Altenberg for the winning TD on about 3rd and 15.
