Smoke the Bear

What’s going on? Ritual bonfire for burning of the Bruin’s mascot. Apparently they actually do this. Then the USC marching band plays the fight song and everybody salutes, sings along in unison (rather scarily, although I was off elsewhere so could not stay to see that this year) and the drums of war begin….. The big, huge, enormous, gigantic event is Saturday. The big USC vs UCLA game across the road in the Coliseum. So big, in fact, I may well watch it.
