TWTW: Passion Buckets Invade Nation's Capital, Take Out Toledo

((HT: KCBS-TV, Los Angeles))

You never know what happens when Passion Buckets invade Washington, DC, but after UCLA's win over Temple in their bowl game they may want to keep going back.

The Owls were playing in their first bowl game in thirty years- which speaks volumes about the job Coach Golden has done while he's been with the program. They even had the early lead at the half, but someone reminded them that they were actually playing in a bowl game for the first time in thirty years.

Akeem Ayers returned an interception 2 yards for a go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter for a 30-21 win.

You could see the wheels come off for Temple, and you kinda felt for them, but they've done really well once they were abolished to the MAC.

The Bruins (7-6) finish with a winning record for the first time since 2006. Temple's only previous bowl appearance were the inaugural Sugar Bowl in 1935 and the Garden State Bowl in 1979.

Pete Carroll Says Trojans Will Wear Red At UCLA

Back when Southern California and UCLA shared the L.A. Coliseum, they would both wear there home jerseys. That tradition ended after 1982. USC head coach Pete Carroll wants to return that tradition when the Trojans and Bruins play Saturday at the Rose Bowl, which UCLA has staked a claim as its home stadium. Carroll says Southern Cal is wearing red jerseys Saturday. UCLA head coach Rick Neuheisel is OK with it, the NCAA isn’t thrilled.

NCAA rules say the visiting team must wear white. Funny, I’ve seen the visiting team wear dark jerseys at LSU and sometimes at Georgia Tech? Seems to me there is some wiggle room.

Of course the NCAA is inflexible and rules are rules. Should the NCAA say no and USC wears red anyway than the Trojans will lose a timeout each half, be sent to their room and grounded for 2 weeks.

Pac 10 commissioner Tom Hanson has forwarded that request to Rogers Redding who happens to be the secretary of the NCAA rules committee. Well, we're waiting.

Here's the 1967 game between USC and UCLA. The Trojans in Red, the Bruins wearing the baby blues. O.J. Simpson was awesome in this game, almost like he was running from the law.

Worst Idea Ever...

At least this early in the college football season...
