rooting for Gary Beban and the Bruins, and since I had a one-time privilege of going to the Rose Bowl game in 1966 (I was 10 years old) when the "gutty little Bruins" upset the supposedly all-powerful #1 Michigan Wolverines 14-12, and since I was a devotee of the John Wooden Bruins starting with guys like Gail Goodrich and Walt Hazzard, continuing through Lew Alcindor/Sydney Wicks/Mike Warren/Henry Bibby and on to Bill Walton/Keith(later Jamaal) Wilkes and then Marcus Johnson, I'm perfectly satisfied with UCLA colors!
Oh, did I mention my cousin was a UCLA cheerleader during the Alcindor years and ended up dating and marrying one of the basketball players, a forward named Jim Neilsen? Got to talk with him at family get-togethers.
Oh, by the way, forget that Rendon guy from Rice, get me Bauer from UCLA. In a few years if we can re-sign Felix we'll only need to score 3.2 runs per game to win the division. That's a joke.
