Cruisin for some Bruins

One would think that an eight o'clock kickoff would allow for the Charlie's Nasties crew to finally have a nice relaxing morning filled with little movement and a lot of sleeping. However, this was not so as we took it upon ourselves to enter in the annual Keough Hall chariot race. Emotions were initially high as our group managed to place second (that's place if you're into horse racing), but after the adrenaline wore off, the lack of sleep finally caught up with us, so we were forced to retreat to the dorm room and get some serious power naps in before the big game tonight.

As far as the game goes, Junior Ben Olson looks to boost his exceptionally average numbers (50% completions for 922 yards, 7 TDs and 5ints) against an unproven Irish secondary. UCLA coach Karl Dorrell is on somewhat of a hot seat this season; some of the west coast faithful have been showing little patience for his coaching blunders, and several Bruin blogs have expressed concern about their coach's ineptitude. UCLA's surprising loss to Utah became less of an embarrassment yesterday when the Utes pulled out a win over a highly touted Louisville squad last night, but Dorrell is still out to prove himself this season, and a win against a storied Irish program would help his case.

I apologize for the brevity of this post, but as mentioned in above, I truly am in need of some sleep before the game tonight. Go Irish. Beat Bruins.
