The piece takes us through the writer's memories of past Bruin athletes, mostly from basketball and football. The point of the article is that you don't have to be a Bruin student or alum to be a Bruin fan; I wholeheartedly agree. While my time as an undergraduate at UCLA was a unique experience that solidified my love for the Bruins, I realize that Bruin fans who never attended UCLA have their own memories and experiences that are just as meaningful. How one develops an affinity for the school and its teams is much less important than the fact that the affinity exists in the first place. And what about folks who went to a different college but are still Bruin die-hards? What more could you want from them?
