The City of Angels: A Bruin Town
As we all head out to the freeways, subways, airports or wherever we are heading to enjoy the Holiday (which is already off to a ROCKING START!!!!) just keep this in mind:
Picture this (or check it out in your iPhone) if you are standing in some long line at the airport:
Or visualize this if some a&&clown (with a TrOJan license plate) cut you off on the 405:
That's right.
We own this town even with Dorrell in charge of our football program.
Oh did I mention the best college basketball coach in America also reigns in Westwood?
Its good to bleed blue and gold.
GO BRUINS.

I am ecstatic
JRUE!! I want to make T-shirts:
"My favorite Holiday is JRUE!"
"Jrue-ly 3rd, Bruin Holiday"
"Christmas and
Halloween and
Thanksgiving and
JRUE"
"How JRUE doin?"
(If K-Love comes back to try for Back-to-Back titles)
"UCLA fans LOVE our HOLIDAY"
They're all cheesy, I know. You guys wanna help me out?
Great stuff
And a Happy 4th of July to everyone!
It's great to be a Bruin.
saw mike garrett today
i was gonna say something, but i chickened out. Just told him i went to the UCLA/USC game at the Galen center and it was a nice place to watch a game. He said thanks.
He is a bad tipper, by the way.
Burger Continental
I will never forget his great day against the Bruins in '65 - he had 210 yards, but oh yeah, zero TD's. That was the 20-16 game, and still my favorite.
Mmmm.....Burger C.
1965
Garrett must have fumbled down close several times so he didn't get in.
On the onside kick, as Jim Murray wrote in the LAT (a good paper then), everyone in the coliseum knew it would be an onside kick except for the SC front line, and they turned upfield just like the script called for. The rest was history.

As I recall
Wow..
Speaking of Burger C, it is absolutely amazing. Harry, the owner, is such i nice guy. I kind of remember seeing a USC radio talk show there when i was younger (which wasn't that long ago) and meeting Tommy Lasorda.
LAT update
I was on such a high yesterday with the Holiday news, and couldn't wait to open my LAT this morning to read more about it.
What did I get?
I went through all six (yes, six) pages of the sports section and could not find one mention of the Jrue commitment. I thought, what? How could this be? How could they not cover this?
So, I went through the paper again. And there it was: On Page 2, in the lower left bottom corner, is a small, maybe 2 inch by 1 1/2 inch, picture of Jrue. The "article" below the picture is one sentence long. I'm not sure if I can quote the entire sentence used--because that would be reproducing the whole article--but it calls Jrue a "jewel" and said that UCLA could have the No. 1 recruiting class. All true.
This "article" is buried with a couple of other items in a section of the fishwrap called "On latimes.com."
Well, excuse me, but f*ck that. I buy the hard copy of the paper to read stories in the hard copy. If I wanted to read the Times online, I damn know where to find it.
One question: Does anyone doubt that if Jrue committed to SuC, instead of to the good guys, that this story would have been the top story on the first page of the sports section? In the hard copy of the rag?
Sigh.
Putting something up
I'm incensed
The last time I wrote an editor to the Sports Editor was about the LAT's failure to reproduce that lovely "White Nation" picture those happy-go-lucky SuC football players had so much fun with.
My letter wasn't printed but the LAT's Sports Editor emailed me to say that they "couldn't find" the picture in time to use it with the article. Um, yeah, it was really hard to find. So, the 1.1 million people who read the LAT daily never got to see that picture.
If that picture was published in the mainstream media, that story would have received a hell of a lot more attention than it did.
Thanks for the effort, fishwrap.
What is revealing
The TrOJan Times don't even hide it any more - just like Fox News.
