Honestly, I am still in shock.

At home, I watched, quietly; kept quiet as my disbelief grew; began ritual whiskey shots during 3rd quarter; anticipated collapse early in 4th quarter; slowly went into shock following The 8 Minute Drive; held breath until final whistle; collapsed into crying and anger. Yes, anger for all the years, too many, of taking BS from our “sister” school and the generally hollow, Day-Of-the-Locust greater Hollywood culture. The game probably meant too much to me, but, God, what a righteous outcome!

Welcome to the club. I thought I was being nice with an 80% on a night that we were outgained significantly and juuuust managed to push aside the blows over and over again until UCLA gave up.

I finally got a chance to watch this game last night. Even knowing the outcome, it was a really fun game to watch, and to see firsthand some of the plays y'all have been talking about...that Reese ambush on Moore was epic! Also, the pass that Mendoza tossed over the defense that Hunter ran down in the endzone was perfection...the ball—thrown to a spot—had a little hump on it that was a really nice touch. Excellent.
