college football in review

i went to the rose bowl last saturday and to watch the byu cougars play the ucla bruins. ucla was the favorite in the game, and i had a good time even though my alma mater lost to the bruins, 27-17. i sat in the ucla players section in the first half, and the byu section in the second half. the following is what i took away from the game.

- ucla has a really annoying person who has a microphone trying to pump up the crowd.

- byu has a lot of fans in the los angeles area. the entire south end zone was packed with cougar fans from sideline to sideline, top to bottom. i estimate a good 15,000 byu fans in attendance.

- many of the ucla fans i next to me did not know where brigham young university is located.

- stadium staff at the rose bowl is just plain idiotic.

- bruins fans are easily discouraged when the hot sun beating is down on them.

- traffic is terrible around the rose bowl.

- byu is better than what most people at ucla thought.

- the cougar fans were consistently louder than the bruins fans throughout the entire game, except for a few key points near the end of the game.

- i am officially a true cougar fan in the sense that i spoke these words after the game ended, 'we've should've won.'

After all the games I've been to of whatever sport plus this latest commentary, I'll give you this conclusion.... Sporting events attract a lot of idiots and homos.
