[DoUCLA]

I went to my first USC-UCLA game in 1995 at the Mausoleum. Just this year I found the ticket stub from that game in an old magazine at our house. The next game I went to was in 1998 at the Rose Bowl and finally I went to my last game at the Mausoleum in 1999. I will be returning to the Mausoleum this year after six years of absence since that ugly 17-7 loss.

Last year's game should have been won by the Bruins. The refs called Reggie Bush down when it was completely obvious that he had fumbled the ball which would have led to a TD for Spencer Havner on the recovery. Should of had instant replay. UCLA held Matt Leinart to no TD passes for the first time in his starts as a Trojan. All of that aside, we had one more chance to beat SC after yet another Bush fumble. This attempt was squandered though by "Old" Drew Olson throwing a pick off of his back foot.

My dad and I are going to the game without tickets. We are taking our chances with scalpers.
