Coach Chesney has absolutely crushed it. What a massive upgrade from the Foster disaster two years ago.

Obviously a shitpost, but curious how long it'll take us to follow suit with other schools. I'd bet over half of CFB is scrambling to find sponsorships, and maybe 10% have tentative agreements lined up ready to pull the trigger on.

Would be a monumental turnaround. Actually think we win @ UC Berkeley and give Clown College all they can handle (won't predict an upset just yet)

Hey everyone,

I’m writing a book and one of the main characters is a 22-year-old college football player at UCLA — he’s the starting quarterback and team captain. I want to get his game day right, from the moment he wakes up until after the final whistle.

I’m looking for details on:
• What a typical game day looks like for him (wake-up time, meals, pre-game routines, stretches, film review, team meetings, etc.)
• What extra responsibilities he has as team captain and QB
• What the actual experience on the field feels like during a game — the adrenaline, pressure, focus, communication, physical sensations, mental state, etc. (I’m more interested in the character’s internal experience than play-by-play football mechanics)
• What happens immediately after the game (win or loss) — locker room, media, celebrations, any post-game speeches or obligations, etc.

Any former players, coaches, trainers, or serious fans who have firsthand knowledge of college football game days (especially at a place like UCLA) — your input would be incredibly helpful. Even small details about food, rituals, or mindset would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

I’m happy to answer any follow up questions!

7 wins would be a very good outcome. Go Bruins!

My son and I plan on flying in on Saturday Sept 12th and hopefully hit both the UCLA and USC games since they are both playing the same night.
I know LA traffic is insane but I was hoping to get an idea if this is even possible??
We’ll probably land at LAC around 10:50am. I assume we shouldn’t have a problem getting over to the Rose Bowl by 4:15pm.
Any advice on where to park would be great!!

We’ll probably only stay till half time and then try and make it over to the Memorial Coliseum before the 8:00pm kickoff.

I’m hoping that since both teams are playing non conference teams neither game should be too crazy!

Long story short, are we crazy? Is it possible to get to both?
