This Saturday our Bruins will head to a "neutral site" to play the depleted University of Texas Longhorns football team. The largest watch party will take place in the Jerry Dome, but if you are not heading there, use this post and comments thread to find and organize a viewing party near you.
Thanks to the local UCLA Alumni Association chapters, the UCLA Alumni Association, and members of the Bruins Nation community we have a list of viewing parties that we know about. I apologize if a chapter has posted a gathering that I did not see. Please add it to the comment thread and let me know if it is a regular location. Some groups are requesting an RSVP to make sure they have enough space saved. (I apologize for some of the crazy formatting. I will never cut and paste from the alumni site again!)

Again, if you don't see a party in your area and would like to organize one, use the comments thread and/or go to the alumni network in your area and see if you can help them organize one.
In case you have not been able to keep up or just want a pre-game refresher, check out our Texas game hub which has practice notes, videos, and notes on the Longhorns.
I also thought it might be nice to relive a little trip the Bruins made to Texas in 1997. Enjoy:
"My, my, my!"
Have a great time wherever you are Saturday and...
Go Bruins!
