This was THE game to watch and I missed it! December 2, 2006: UCLA vs #2 USC at the Rose Bowl. This was the game for the rivalry to be revived. For the past 7 years, UCLA has lost to USC. Many have thought UCLA will never come close to USC's incredible football talent. UCLA walked into this game as major underdogs. I even heard that a owner of a furniture store in LA promised customers that if UCLA defeats USC, he will refund everyone's money!!! Wow! If I knew about that, I should have bought new sofas, dining table, and even a new bed! Well, the score was low but it was due to our awesome defense. The final score was: UCLA 13 USC 9. The last play of the game was when USC's QB, Booty, threw an interception. Although I missed the game, I was able to celebrate with all my UCLA friends at Bar None in San Francisco. This was a game to remember. Not only did we ruin SC's chance to the BCS Championship game, we also defeated them just because they are Trojans, our cross town rival....2 sweet victories! We got our Victory Bell back. The underdogs came through. This goes to show that ranks don't mean much when there's a rivalry game. This is all about pride and our history. This is why I love college football. When my friend asked where does USC rank now, my other friend replied, "under us." That was funny!
Go Bruins! Emerald Bowl, here we come!
