<\/p>\n\u201cWe won a game yesterday, if we win one today that’s two in a row. If we win one tomorrow that’s called a winning streak. It has happened before. SO LET’S SEE SOME HUSTLE!\u201d -Lou Brown<\/i><\/p>\n
Lou Brown was a great man. He was a fictional man whose quotes won\u2019t echo through the pantheon of history like Lincoln’s or Gandhi’s, but nevertheless, a great man.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve picked up by now that I\u2019m referencing the 1994 sports classic “Major League II” then we should probably be friends.<\/p>\n
But if you\u2019ve been a regular reader of this column, who, like my editor, Steve Lowery, takes pleasure in my emotional anguish, we probably aren\u2019t.<\/p>\n
But we still can be. Please?<\/p>\n
The term winning streak, which Brown eloquently outlined as a string of three or more consecutive victories, hasn’t been attached to the UCLA football program since 2015.<\/p>\n
That changed Saturday night when they defeated the Colorado Buffaloes 31-14, establishing their first winning streak since Josh Rosen was tapped to take this program to an elite national status.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You don\u2019t want to know which article of clothing I ripped off of my life sized cardboard cutout of outgoing Athletic Director Dan Guerrero when I returned home that night before pouring out a nightcap of rum for Jobu and myself, but it\u2019s working. But it should suffice to say that it\u2019s getting weird at home and my wife covers the dog\u2019s eyes when they walk past my office.<\/p>\n
The Mighty Bruins are getting mighty close to doing something special, and now they face a bye week where they get to try and figure out how to beat a physically dominant team in Utah in Salt Lake City where the temperatures are likely to be lower than the alcohol percentage in \u201cUtah beer.\u201d<\/p>\n
Between my voodoo and Lowery\u2019s foaming at the mouth to see my teams lose I think we\u2019ve found a winning combination. I\u2019d like to take this moment to point out that the Bruins are undefeated since this column started its run.<\/p>\n
And with the annual implosion of the team across town some are starting to notice that there\u2019s a squad from Westwood. They\u2019ve got uniforms and everything, it\u2019s really great.<\/p>\n
They really are ruining this column, Steve. Sorry, not sorry.<\/p>\n
Cowboy fans are feline fine<\/b><\/p>\n
To say that I enjoy an emotional roller coaster or two is an understatement. They\u2019re actually the only kind of coasters I like. Even the ones at Disneyland make me mildly nauseous.<\/p>\n
By now it\u2019s been established that I am an avid fan of arguably two of the least consistent football teams that have existed over the course of my 33 years on this planet. Oh god, there goes the nausea.<\/p>\n
The Dallas Cowboys are a big reason that the grays sprouting from my head have started to accelerate their presence. At least they match the team\u2019s color scheme.<\/p>\n
Call it a silver lining. (Yes, my wife also hates my dad jokes.)<\/p>\n
Down 12-3 to a struggling New York Giants team Monday night in the same building it crumbled against a New York Jets team just one month ago was nightmare inducing.<\/p>\n
Halloween surely had passed, I dressed up and everything, so why was this horror moving playing out on my television? I tried to remain calm, gently applying Just For Men to my luscious locks, when a black cat crashed my pity party.<\/p>\n
