UCLA plays it's first home game of the season at the best college football venue in the land, particularly if you arrive early and tailgate on the beautiful lawn. For those who are not making it to the game we have a list of viewing parties around the state and country. If you are organizing a get together, know of one, or would like to, please use the comment thread to do so. I think we are going to be in for some fun football this week. Game time: 7:00 Pacific Time, broadcast on the Pac-12 network.
Thank you to the local alumni chapters, and members of the Bruins Nation community for getting these organized. Some groups are asking for an RSVP to make sure they have enough space saved, so be sure to check their links.

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.
You might want to check out this week's practice notes and Memphis previews before the game. Also, if you missed it, take a look at the 2nd episode of "The Drive" which aired Wednesday night and had some awesome footage and a great story of Kenny Clark and his family:
Have a great time wherever you are Saturday and...
Go Bruins!
