1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8....U...C...L...A!
My UCLA Bruins are playing cross-town rivals USC Trojans on Saturday, Dec 6th (here goes my birthday mention #1,004,582: that's the day before my birthday)!
Yes, I've heard the point spread (I think UCLA is a 900 point underdog at this point). And yes, I've seen the footage of several interceptions by UCLA this season. But I also remember UCLA winning a critical game a few years back. So..it can happen! I believe!
Clara from Ihearteverything (hee hee) - Iheartfood4thought and Iheartcuppycakes, Linda from Tendercrumb and I are having a virtual blog-luck tailgate party for the game! And you are invited!
I picked up these Bruin Blue & Gold sprinkles at Surfas, and bought the adorable UCLA confetti at the Fresno State-UCLA game (yeah, we lost that one too). I'm dropping some off at my cousin's house so she can bring them into work too!
Years ago, I remember talking up March Madness at my old job. My colleague went to a small college with no sports teams, and just couldn't get the whole "college spirit" and UCLA obsession. She happened to be a big Lakers and Dodgers fan. So I explained it this way:
No matter how much I work out and practice my swing, I'll probably never play for the Dodgers. And even if I find a pill that makes me grow 12 inches (that'll only make me 6'2"!!), I'll probably never be a Laker. But I'll always be a Bruin.
So, UCLA football team... I don't have tickets to the game, but you'll hear me cheering my heart out this weekend! Goooooo Bruins!

The Trojans are going to whip the bRuins into next week :)
Dear Anonymous,
I see you have no true Trojan pride in that you didn't sign your name!! :) May the best team win and that the fans and alum have a good time!
A Trojan here hoping that the Bruins win! :D I've never had the spirit and never will, so I'm happy to quietly support your team via this comment :). Don't ask me to watch the game or even know who won. I really have never been interested haha.
No no no, go Trojans! (I know, totally off-topic, but I just had to). :)
Nice 8 clap Mary! I'm in an office filled with totally obnoxious USC fans, so I've been getting a ton of grief leading into this saturday's game --- i am so hoping for an upset --- like you said, it's happened before!!!
I need to get my booty in gear... having a small party to watch the game tomorrow, so will be posting tomorrow afternoon.
Love the cupcakes...and I love the confetti!
GO BRUINS!!!!
The cupcakes look great. Sports and food . Two great things :)
Aw 5'2" or so isn't such a bad place to be. Darling post and so creative with all that shimmery confetti.
Busy Busy
Happy Holidays

Happy Early Birthday- I hope your team wins!
I heart your Bruins cupcakes! :)
My cousin would get a kick out of these, UCLA is her alma mater and a huge fan of the Bruins.
Happy Birthday Miss Food Librarian! I am oddly/coincidentally enough wearing a UCLA tshirt right now...go bruins!
Those cupcakes look so yummy. You're making me really tempted into trying one bowl cupcakes, but I always get the feeling that I can't make anything without the mixer!
It would be nice if my school had this kind of team spirit.. I think we have the emptiest stadium and probably one win in the past 12 yrs.. or something like that
I have no idea how the game turned out, but I wanted to come by to say Happy Birthday!!! =)
Happy birthday FL! Hope you have a wonderful day filled with lots of pampering and delicious food.
Your post reminds me of how important college sports is in Kentucky where there are no professional teams. We went to the men's basketball game last night (sadly, they lost) but the fans are so loyal! There's a lot of emphasis on Kentucky and the colors blue and white...I think to point out that college basketball is a state event for all Kentuckians, not just the university crowd.
Happy Birthday! Sorry UCLA didn't come through for you; at least a local team is going to the Rose Bowl. Great looking cupcakes!
So Cute! Your cupcakes look just beautiful! I guess since I'm moving to CA, I better get in the CA sports spirit! Have a great rest of your weekend!
Yay, I love finding ucla allumni foodies! I'm a fellow bruin as well! Great blog! Love the UCLA cupcakes....so cute!
How cute are those? I'm sure they were a huge hit :)
LOVE these cupcakes!
I hope you had a great birthday! Sorry your Bruins didn't win, but I hope you had fun anyway. The cupcakes are great!
thanks for stopping by this morning for a little "blog" visit. Looks like you are in a "football" frame of mind. Love the cupcakes. They look delicious.
Ummm... you're missing the USC cupcakes. They kick Bruins arse any day! :)~
