UCLA Game

On Nov. 7, the team loaded up on a charter bus and headed to Rose Bowlin Pasadena, CA to watch the UCLA vs Washington game. It was UCLA's homecoming and they held a "I'm going to College" fair. We showed up three hours before kick-off and were immediately immersed in Bruin traditions, as we learned the spirited UCLA Eight Clap and the importance of higher education. While at the fair, players spoke with academic counselors and picked up educational information about questions they might have regarding education and preparing for college. Players go tot speak with current UCLA students, took pictures with the UCLA Cheerleaders and enjoy other fun fair activities including carnival games, activity books, community booths, and removable tattoos to get into the UCLA spirit. We tailgated and hung out before heading into the game. Once inside, they escorted us down to our seats, which were amazing. We sat five rows up from the field behind the end zone and next to the players tunnel. It was a great game and UCLA won 24-23. It was an experience the team will always remember.
