What is a Bruin?

Well UCLA got 6 votes in the pre-season AP college football poll and 3 votes in the USA Today poll. The key word for UCLA is: inexperience. I don't care. To play at the Rose Bowl, on the road, against a PAC-10 team, well, it scares me. I know what we have on paper. See the previous post, but a new offensive coordinator and QB just doesn't sit well with me. I'm excited, but I'm also unsure. The excitement might wear off throughout the game if I start to see some sure play by the Vols. I'm ready though. I'm ready to be surprised at how good a team we have. The way to surprise me is to blow out a preseason unranked PAC-10 opponent on the road on prime time TV. That would be nice.

Also, a Bruin is a brown bear, so this will mark the 2nd time in the same amount of seasons that we have opened up our schedule on the road with a team from California that has something to do with bears as their mascot.

Also to note, I will only be doing complete breakdown of games (like last year) if I think the game was worthy enough. Basically big wins and blowout or maybe some heartbreaking losses. Of course it all depends if the DVR records the game too ;)
