Why I'm a Fan of UCLA: 1984/1985

My mother & uncle went to UCLA, so there was a hereditary connection. While in high school my uncle took me to see a basketball game against ’SC at Pauley. The game went 3 OTs and the Bruins lost, but I had never experienced a louder event, sporting or otherwise. I had caught the bug. As a high school senior I saw the 1986 Rose Bowl Game against Iowa. An underdog Bruins squad trounced Heisman runner-up Chuck Long & Co. A few weeks later my UCLA acceptance letter arrived, rest is history: BA ’90, MBA ’98.
