Pinch-hitting for Jon Gold
Is me, T.J. Berka. I'm normally a preps writer for the San Bernardino Sun and Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, but I'm in Tucson today giving Gold a day off. I'll do my best to fill his considerable shoes. If it makes you guys feel better, the only UCLA game I covered this season was the Kansas State one - the Bruins' last win. So maybe that'll give you guys some confidence heading into today.
I have some stuff later as we get closer to game time - just wanted to introduce myself.
ok, TJ. See if you can get Randall Carroll to tweet us before the game!
I'm not exactly svelte myself, so no fat jokes from this reporter. Though I will say press boxes are one of the places where I feel like I'm in shape - take that for what its worth.
And apparently there's a comment delay on this blog so no one knows what I'm responding to. Awesome.
haha ... i read this as a fat joke:
