We’ll Get Back To You After The Game

A reader passed along this interesting post-game scene at the Rose Bowl from the Daily Bruin.

“In the press room beneath the Rose Bowl there are four big plasma screen televisions. One of these televisions was showing the thrilling game between USC and Notre Dame Saturday afternoon. Media that gathered in the press room had clustered to watch the dramatic finish.
“At that moment UCLA football coach Rick Neuheisel walked into the room, sunburned and exasperated after his team’s 45-26 defeat to rival Cal.
“Almost no one moved. Necks remained craned toward the USC game until a frustrated Neuheisel spoke sharply. “Would everyone like to watch the end of that ball game?” Neuheisel asked. “I am more than willing to wait.”
“There was a hint of bitterness in Neuheisel’s voice, a slight sign of the wounded pride of UCLA football.”
