There comes a point, I imagine, in every fifth-year’s life
when you feel like your time has come.
For some, it comes early.
For others, it may not come until year six.

All of a sudden, it seems like the sun shines a little bit
brighter.
The sky is a little bit bluer.
The bird’s song is a little bit better.

Ar·ro·gance (n.):A strong feeling of proud
self-importance that is expressed by treating other people with
contempt or disregard.
Sound familiar?
It’s rivalry week, so there’s no doubt that it
should.

If you ever feel like you might have too many friends, I have a
perfect solution for you.
Play fantasy football.
You’ll be hating your friends in no time, and don’t
worry, they’ll be hating you, too.

Quick question: Who’s better, Maurice Jones-Drew or Reggie
Bush?
If you answered Reggie Bush, you’re wrong.
Well, “better” may be a little too vague. But if you

Well, basketball season unofficially starts tonight, and for
hoards of UCLA sports fans, it seems like it couldn’t have
come soon enough.
Many of us want to feel like winners again, and the football
team hasn’t exactly been allowing us to feel that way.

Dear Typical American Sports Fan: I know you must think you have
it pretty good right now, what with college football consuming your
Saturdays, the NFL taking care of Sundays and Mondays, the World
Series interspersed throughout the week, and basketball raring to
go.

What six years ago may have seemed like a far-off dream is about
to become a reality. Touchdown Jesus is about to meet all 260
members of the UCLA marching band, because the Solid Gold Sound is
headed to South Bend.

What if I told you that basketball season is just weeks away?
(It all begins Nov. 2 against Cal Poly Pomona.) Is that something
you might be interested in?

SAN FRANCISCO “”mdash; It was a day when nothing, and no one,
seemed to cooperate with the UCLA men’s tennis team.
What started with rainy weather ended with the Pepperdine Waves
(34-2), as the tenth-seeded Bruins (20-6) were sent home early with
a 4-1 loss in the NCAA Quarterfinals, held Sunday night at the San
Francisco Tennis Club.
