Major Upset!

Time for some NCAA Football

UCLA Bruins beat rival USC Trojans 13-9!!!! The loss shattered USC's hopes to play in the national championships. This game should the biggest upset this NCAA season considering that USC was ranked in the top 2 among all schools in NCAA Division 1. UCLA, on the other hand, was unranked.

Last Tuesday (November 28), my professor told us about a university announcement that there might be some heavy traffic come Thursday (November 30) as UCLA will hold a rally- "Beat USC!" Thankfully, I don't have a class on Thursdays. We just scoffed at the idea of the Bruins beating the Trojans. My professor mentioned that he'd rather face "reality" and we're better off at basketball where UCLA is ranked #1 in the nation. I even saw an advertisement on LA Times from a furniture store that says if UCLA wins, all products worth $2000 at the minimum are for free. It's tricky though as you have to purchase the products first before game time.

Alas! The Bruins scored an unlikely win. This is UCLA's first win against USC since 1998. I wonder if there were people who went to that furniture store and bought those expensive products. If there were a lot, the owner might be banging his head even if he's a Bruin.
