ESPN's College Game Day for basketball will originate from Pauley Pavilion this Saturday. It begins at 8 a.m., but don't pack your gear just yet. UCLA is allowing only members of the "The Den,'' which is the student section, in for the game.
I was told the decision was made independent of the men's basketball program, and a UCLA official said the decision was made as a way to reward the students.
I don't have a doubt that College Game Day for Basketball will visit the Rose Bowl this season... ahh I can see it now.. waking up at 4 am just to get a good spot to be on tv.. hahhaa
oops meant Football...I don't have a doubt that College Game Day for Football will visit the Rose Bowl this season...
Great idea. We wouldn't want any other fans that have supported the team and school over the years to be able to participate.
Reward the students for what? Paying full price for tickets? Oh wait, they don't do that. Paying into the Wooden Fund? Oh wait, they don't do that. Acting like out of control college kids on occasion? Yeah, probably.
yikes mikeh! What about spending the night outside and being there for every game to help our team!? They do a great job and I know they will enjoy being on Gameday...
Right BruiFBBB! When you curse at someone else like that your posting loses credibility.

bitterness? ouch.
that atmosphere is gonna be crazy! and i found the other way to get in... join the band. definitely looking forward to it!
That's fine as long as they can fill the place. I wouldn't want the nation to see a nearly empty Pauley and get the impression that we don't have much passion for this program. We all know that UCLA limits student access to games in favor of higher priced season ticket-holders and doners. I'm less concerned about who's allowed access and much more concerned about sending the right message to the college basketball community.
Also read that ESPN's Erin Andrews will be handling the sideline reporting duties for the UCLA/zona game....double bonus for the students (even though she's a Florida Gator alum)
