Oct 4

When Rick Neuheisel led the Bruins to a 45-9 win over Illinois. I had a work colleague with Rose Bowl connections who got me 3 50 yard line seats. Went with my Dad, an Illinois alum, and my brother, also a UCLA alum. My poor dad was so disappointed, but my brother and I sure enjoyed it!

The announcers today were really having fun giving Rick Neuheisel the chance to comment on his son's play calling in the first half of the game.
