I listened to most of the first half of this game on the radio. I was furious for about 15 minutes as UCLA was down 16-10. But by the time I was one-fourth done with my commute home, I knew the game was pretty much over as UCLA was on its way to victory.

It’s nice to finally see the Bruins playing well during the latter part of the season. For the past several years, we Bruin fans have had to endure mediocre to lousy Bruin teams and the teasing of our friends when the Bruins have exited early in the tournament. So for now, while UCLA is still playing very well, I’d like to gloat in the following first round losses of other teams with a big “ha=ha” in a Jim Carrey kind of tone:

Thursday’s C-Ya List

• SDSU (Jeff per usual, bible study, local San Diegans, as well as Cox Commnications Cable and Fox Sports West who chose to show lame East coast teams instead of UCLA this season)
• Syracuse (Robbie M.)
• Oklahoma (Butch O., VMHS Band - at least we don’t have to listen to their stupid fight song)

Friday’s C-Ya List

• Arkansas (The whole team cuz you still suck.)
• Wisconsin (Martha S. - finally)
• Cal (No explanation needed; I hate Berkeley)
• Kansas (Adam K. - at least their shoes looked cool)
