It was so cool! It's crazy, because we always hear about the Rose Bowl and going to a game there was pretty neat.I flew down in the morning and hung out with Friend L for a few hours. As we both work in Study Abroad, the news about Paris was unfolding and students and their families were in the midst of chaos. Thankfully all of our students were okay, but we did learn about one CSU: Long Beach student who was killed during the attacks. This of course, makes the job that we do difficult and important. We spent a bit of the morning dealing with the concerns and making sure all were safe.
Though we all were worried about what was happening overseas, we took a few hours to have some fun and headed to Pasadena for some tailgating and the game.
At the Rose Bowl, there is nothing around...so you literally park on a golf course and go all fancy with the food and fun. We had a great few hours, hanging out, eating hotdogs and cougar cheese and playing cornhole before the game.
Once nightfall hit, we headed into the stadium. Friend K was able to get us amazing tickets in the suite areas, so we had fantastic seats. I loved every moment. The game was intense too! It was total back and forth between the two teams. They both seemed so geared up. This was the last home game for UCLA, and that always adds a little bit of pressure. The Cougs were winning for a lot of the game, but it was close....and in the last quarter, we began to lose. I figured, well, it's about time (I try not to be a downer fan, but we're so use to losing in the 4th).However, in the last minute, the last 30 seconds even, we got a game winning touchdown! I was SO excited. The cougar fans were going crazy, my UCLA fans were not (LOL).
It was an amazing game and a fantastic night. I can't ever remember the last time I was at a game where they actually won!
Here's to a new era Coug Fans!!
