Around SBN: Race to the Roses & BCS Bowl Predictions

PB Unleashed: At the Rose Bowl

We have already heard quiet a bit from Rick Neuheisel as the head coach of UCLA football.

I have seen some of the highlights of him as the winning quarterback of the 1984 Rose Bowl. If any of you don't know how that all went down or what took place go here.

But I never heard how CRN sounded as a player until I saw this, post game comments from that 1984 Rose Bowl game:



LOL. Yeah RN was certainly not a wallflower when he was a student athlete. Watching that clip also gave us a sense of the player who was clearly one of the leaders of his team and who could walk the walk to back up all his talk (and for the record I have no problem with a Rose Bowl MVP leading his team out of practice by actually jumping over the wall).

I keep saying we have a long way to go to find out how RN's tenure as the head coach of this program turns out. Watching that video reminds us what kind of fire he is going to inject into our program.

Well if I have it right that video was RN's last appearance as a player at the Rose Bowl. CRN makes his official return at the Rose Bowl as the head coach of our football program this Saturday. If you haven't set your weekend's plan yet, you need to do it NOW. Go out to the Rose Bowl this Saturday and show your support for CRN and our program. You can start your tailgating around 3 pm. The full details can be found here.

Timeto unleash all of collective passion bucket and show our full support for CRN and the program at the Rose Bowl, sending our coaches and players off on a great note at the end of this spring camp.

GO BRUINS.

Are we in the top 20 yet?
I would love to hear RN ask that question to Erin Andrews at some point this season.

Dang
Even at that age, you can hear how smooth and articulate a speaker he is.

Flipper
He led them then...He'll lead them now.  Good to see Willie "Flipper" Anderson stick his head in there at the end of that clip.  A great Bruin and a great guy.

what was Young saying?
In the end when Mike Young #18 stuck his head in, and said ???who;s what??  QRN was awesome that day.  Those were glory days in football.  Hopefully he can bring back the feeling.

QRN == Noise..
..oh, you mean Quarterback Rick Neiheisel. As a matter of supreme trivia and appropos of nothing, the abbreviation "QRN" is a Q-signal used in communication and amateur radio meaning noise or static.

Now won't you be the hit of the next cocktail party you attend?

God, it's great to be a Bruin!

Who's Who?
I believe he says "who is Illinoise?"

I remember during that string of bowl wins, we used to say, "you can't give Homer Smith four weeks to prepare a gameplan."  I can't wait to say the same thing about Coach Chow.
