Cade McNown leaving everything on the field. lol The guttiest performance by a UCLA athlete I have ever seen in my life time of following Bruin football and basketball. At that point we all knew we were not going to lose that incredible game. We ended up winning it in OT (41-38). GO BRUINS.

Yep, sitting in the North end zone that day . . .

. . . near a guy who had a roasted duck tethered to a stick which he kept whacking on the RB concrete . . . SI had a technicolor photo of McNown’s technicolor (okay, it looked pretty monochromatic) yawn in the following week’s issue, too. Salad days for Bruin FB, to be sure, capped off with that 8th in a row over u$C.

The Mad Bruin

Here you go

From a post entitled spirit of number of 18 here on BN from December, 2005:

The photo credit goes to Sports Illustrated of course.

"the center wants to get out of that spot as soon as possible..."

My first football game ever

I’d been a long time fan. At that point I thought this happened at every football game.

Oh UCLA you sweet bitch, you've BRUINed me for anything else.

Crowd reaction

Can’t watch the video here at work, but I remember watching it on TV and hearing the crowd’s reaction and knowing immediately what happened. And yes, I remember that SI photo vividly.

Ah, those were the days

I remember being there too. I idolized Cade as a kid.

I was there

Northwest corner, midway up. That was my boy’s first game, he was 2 – he dug every minute of it, and became a season ticket holder the next season.

I was there too

It was one of my first games post-graduation and I sat high above the end zone in the Northwest section. Originally I though I had bad seats but man did I get a good view of him blowing chunks. I remember how mad he looked to be standing on the sideline, and how eager he was to get back in the game. That dude was tough and a ton of fun to watch.

Go Bruins!
