Another excellent interview by Gold. Anthony Barr talks about playing "F Back" and enjoying his first few days of a Bruin.

Loved how Barr ended the interview when he was asked about the "best" and "worst" part of being a freshman. Instead of writing out his answer, you should watch it to hear his perfect response.

GO BRUINS.

He seems like a very mature freshman

I actually thought the dorm food was pretty good also.

My thoughts exactly

on Barr and the dorm food. someone needs to swipe Gold into Covel

yup

Griffin Commons (guess that is called “Covel” now) has some of the best campus grub in the country (and I have been around few campuses around the country to vouch for that first hand).

Covel

Its name has changed many times over the years. I have no idea why…

B2 Delta Terrace

Moved in there as fresh the first year it opened. Then moved over to A4 Canyon Point for sophomore year. Amazing memories.

that you kids got to chill at the resort while the rest of us had to toil in soviet-style army dorms with a 1/4 inch rotten carpets over concrete floors. That, plus you escaped pre-med? That just ain’t right.

But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.

The food was so nondescript in the 70’s that I can’t even remember it enough to describe it! I do remember there being a couple of vegetarians who couldn’t even find yogurt or anything else to eat for lunch anywhere on campus.

Go Bruins!

Ha

FWIW as cool as Sunset was I loved hanging out with friends in Rieber, Saxon, Sproul and Dykstra. Loved it all. Those were some fun times. Didn’t hang out much in Headrick though. Way the heck up there! lol

UCLA’s dorm food is actually pretty good. I read somewhere that we have one of the better cafeterias in the nation.

by Bruinfreak on Aug 14, 2010 4:07 PM PDT reply actions

Maybe now

But back in the early 90’s, the food in the halls was horrendous, that’s why when Sunset opened there were huge lines. I remember the awful “chicken cycle”: grilles chicken on Monday, then Jamaican chicken, then sweet and sour chicken, finishing with chicken mole on Friday…yeah, any doubt the chicken was recycled?

But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.
