I would like to see Alcatraz but I already assume that would be a downer

Downtown San Francisco. You don't want to be driving a clutch car there. Been there, done that. 1977 to be exact.

Cable cars are cool. Because when you think San Francisco, I think cable cars. Coit Tower.

The wharf was okay, but a big tourist trap. But, you should do it once. Ghiradelli Square(I think that was what it was called) for chocolate.

The birth of the hippy nation. Haight Asbury, the intersection of two streets. If my memory is good, I think the area had a lot of nudie bars when I went there. Guys out in front trying to hussle us college boys in for debauchery. I was not in the Navy.

I worked for a company in Menlo Park, and I took quite a few trips there. I also lived in Reno, Nevada and drove to San Franciso quite often as it was only a three hour drive.

I can attest to the fact about the fog. San Francisco can be cool and foggy, but if you go ten miles south of the airport, it can be sunny and 80 degrees. Yet, you drive back towards the airport, back into the fog.

Still don't see anything that kids would give a damn about. Golden Gate Bridge would be about it. That would take all of a cab ride to see. Take a selfie with it in the background you've done it all.

"Look, a cable car.... Look, another cable car..... Look, another cable car", ad nauseam.

Too far away from L.A. (6.5 hrs) or San Diego (8.5 hrs) to make the trip worth it. If it were in either of those cities we'd go.

So RA, I assume you been to Tahoe. That lake is so deep blue - I assume from the depth. My daughter's volleyball team (when they were 17) all got their bikinis on and wanted to go for a swim. LOL, The idea of a swim didn't last long because of the lake temperature. Reno wasn't very impressive, but it got chilly at night in early July and I thought that was perfect. Stay at the Nugget where I-80 goes right over the top of.

I assume you meant HiB10, but yeah. I went there for a friends wedding a few years ago. Pretty place.

You betcha. I have also gone into Lake Tahoe and that water is fricking frigid. Never wanted to dip my toes in there again.

Snow skied at Heavenly Valley, Sugar Bowl, and Squaw Valley. Squaw Valley hosted the Olympics in the 1960s. Squaw Valley was just a 45 minute drive for me and the expert slopes were devoid of crowds, unlike places like Vail in Colorado.

Reno was a dump of a town back then, but a nice size, Las Vegas is just way too big. I learned how to sort of gamble and watching football on the weekends was absolutely awesome. Football on at 9 AM Saturday and Sunday.

Paul Revere and the Raiders played in downtown Reno at one of the casinos(Harrah's?). They were the house band.

I won tickets to see the Godfather of Soul, James Brown, at Caesars in South Lake Tahoe. I had an excellent table of eight all to myself. Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini, world champ at the time, was in the booth behind me. I walked around the casino asking complete strangers if they wanted to see the show, no one had enough guts to join me. I also had a complimentary bottle of wine up to $50 buck value back then. Which was a nice bottle of wine.

The hottest waitresses in Reno were all at the Peppermill in downtown Reno. I played at Karl's Silver Club which was a dump but they had paycheck drawings and was close to my house. There was the truck stop Peppermill in Sparks, but that had the old hags, which now would be just about the right age for me.

UCLA ranks 62 in total defense
Rush defense ranked 88
pass defense ranked 41

As I recall, Purdue had a bad rush defense and Nebraska threw the ball 48 times.

Nebraska with no pass rush against a team that allowed just 15 sacks with a freshman QB in Rosen.

But UCLA is a way better team than Purdue. Nebraska will probably be playing from behind the entire game so Langsdorf will have an excuse to throw the ball 80 times.

2012 Riley and Oregon State beat UCLA. Nebraska lost to that same UCLA team. Mora took over UCLA
2011 Riley and Oregon State lost to UCLA. Old UCLA coach
2010 Riley and Oregon State lost to UCLA. Old UCLA coach
2009 Riley and Oregon State beat UCLA. Old UCLA coach
2008 Riley and Oregon State beat UCLA. Old UCLA coach


2015 UCLA beat Oregon State 41-0.
