Fresno St. Bulldogs @ UCLA Bruins
Here we go.
Thousands of Fresno State Bull Dog fans are invading the Rose Bowl this afternoon. They probably didn’t need UCLA’s ill advised ad blitz specifically targeting Fresno State fans inviting them to enjoy their team’s "first-ever win at the Rose Bowl" to get all fired up.
As for the Bruins, they will have each other, their coaching staff, and all the diehard, true blue fans from Bruin Nation rooting them on pull off an upset. May be the return of Kahlil Bell will give them a little boost:

The kickoff time is scheduled for 12:30 pm PST on ABC (regional coverage).
If you need to get caught up on all of our notes concerning this game from this game week, you can do so by going here. Also you can click on the links below under "Related Item" for updated game stats and track the game via UCLA's official site and WWL's game page.
Bruins are banged up. They will be undermanned. Let’s hope they can come out and play some inspired football, and work on to improve from the performance of last weekend. With that said time to get started with another game thread filled with our passion buckets.
Fire away.
GO BRUINS.

Thank You!!!
(I love it that I pay for a “sports package,” so I can get eleven channels that all show the same game.)
Love My Bruins

Greetings to all
The game is not being shown here in Birmingham, therefore, rather than pay $22, Mr. BB have gone to the UAB campus because he can access ESPN 360 here.
The things we do for the love of our alma mater.

I did that on a few occasions at UVa, though mainly for basketball.

I've not seen us lose this year ... and I won't start now.
Thanks to Ike, I’ve not seen us lose. I’ve just seen us win. My trend will carry over, today.
Go Bruins!!!

You know, they have never lost a regular season game that I have attended
I think you are our good luck charm this season. Are you back in Houston? Did Mrs. 66 and Jen head out to Pasadena?

Got Power Thursday Night
Class of 67 is in Conn (another death in the family).
Jen is being a teenager, shopping for homecoming dresses and catching a flick.
Both golden retrievers, cheering on the Bruins with me.

Based on what I've seen
it actually looks like there might be more red than blue. I hope it’s just the camera angles.

Great Day to be Alive
Great day to be a bruin.

Aaron Perez time. Balled tipped at the line, Moline couldn’t get to it.

A flag! Is there hope?
That was a HUGE hole for Fresno state.

TD stands
flag was on Fresno State for Delay of Game by the sideline.
Allright, here we go

Oh boy
They take back a punt for 7 now? This could be a long day.

Still 4 quarters left!
A bad start is just a bad start. Let’s hope for a good finish.
by dokein on Sep 27, 2008 12:44 PM PDT 0 recs
wow.
Fresno St.‘s punt return for a TD was completely effortless, and that’s not a testament to the returner’s athleticism.

Our special teams have been weak all year, but
there is no excuse for not calling the incredibly obvious clip that freed up the touchdown lane.

Good run by Bell
Nice to see him running with some authority

Here we go
MUCH better drive going on now. Really excited about Embree in the coming years if he’s showing up like this in just his freshman year.

Good, you guys are ahead of the stream
I like that.

Almost for Khalil Bell
We’re at the one foot line. 2nd and goal.

Uh oh a flag
We didn’t get in that time.
Defense offsides! 2nd down again.

Kickoff goes out of bounds
:( Fresno State starts at the 40.

Real Test for Us
We’ve given up way too many first downs on 3rd down plays.

Oy
Wasted timeout and we gave up the first. You can really tell that we’re a very new team.

Hey Guys
Got on here late as I had some things going on today. Unfortunately I don’t have the ESPN package that lets me get whatever game I want in the afternoon so I’m stuck with the Wisconny-Michigan game but am following our game on the ESPN game tracker.
GO BRUINS!!!!!!!
Los Angeles Rams and the UCLA Bruins!!!!!

Falling on his back… but he held on.

Hey BN
Just got in from son’s hockey practice. Did we really give up a punt return for a TD?!?!
Oh well, nice D there.

.
We first ran in a kickoff for a touchdown, but it got called back on a holding penalty. And then we went 3nout, and punted. They returned that punt for a touchdown.

Worse than that
Austin returned the opening kick off 101 yards for a TD that was called back because of a hold. When we had to punt, they got a run back straight up the middle, untouched, for a TD.

and Bell loses 2 on 2nd down
Fresno State has adjusted…

Craft runs
but is short of the first down. 2 yards short methinks.

I think so
But I hoped he would have kicked it a tad further.

Fresno State airs it out on first
too far. 2nd down.
Picks up 5ish on 2nd.
Let’s go defense!

Direct Snap to bell
faked a handoff, Bell falls forward for a few.
