UCLA Football shows first-strike capability; UCLA Cheerleaders are simply striking — Celebrating the Labor Day holiday with the perfect Union of Football and Spirit photos which show that no Bruins seemed to Labor in the Pasadena heat on Saturday while turning in impressive debut performances
Recuperating on Sunday from the excitement of a big victory for the UCLA Football team, a tremendously successful coming out party for the 2013-14 UCLA Spirit Squad, and an all-nighter of selecting and editing the best of 750 event photos sets up a lazy Labor Day of… editing more photos to share, and maybe watching the game replay. It’s always fun to re-watch a victory (and almost impossible to re-view a loss), and as I’ve said many times, poring over Cheerleader photos for me is the definition of “A Labor of Love.”
I don’t have much to add to yesterday’s recap of the game. Maybe a shout-out is in order for three TRUE Freshman defenders who were very active and productive: Eddie Vanderdoes, Myles Jack, and Deon Hollins. Otherwise, nothing beyond what I have already reported has been brought up in the aftermath of the game that needs to be re-hashed. So, in lieu of further analysis, let’s get back to the matter at hand: Sharing more game and Cheer photos from Saturday… Click on the photos to enlarge/zoom, and feel free to send in your (positive) comments.
- Areli, and Danielle, who I neglected to show off yesterday
- Hundley’s innate ability to elude the rush was not really needed on Saturday, thanks to the stellar play of his O-Line
- Once again, plenty of time, which is why he’s throwing to Wide Receivers instead of Running Backs this year
- The O-Line also creates running lanes, which is how Hundley gets to celebrate his 37-yard running TD
- Not to mention how Jordon James found the end zone on the ground as well
- Here is James, on his way to that TD celebration
- Honorary Captain Skip Hicks found his way to many end zones, including u$c’s for a game-winner
- Coach Mora, channelling a voice-mesage from Knute Rockne?
- Nothing like a sunset at the Rose Bowl
- Jordon James wasn’t the only “dog” getting hoisted in a celebration
- This pooch dropped less passes than Marqise Lee did last week
- This canine has a tougher curriculum in obedience school than most trojans do at u$c
- Bruin Fireworks at the Rose Bowl continued after the game as well (just in case scoring 58 points wasn’t enough excitement).
- Apparently, Vegas isn’t the only city in Nevada with good-looking girls…
- …Reno has it going on as well.
- Kayley laying down on the job again!
- Kayley defies gravity while Josslyn takes it in
- Kayley, now vertical
- Josslyn getting into it
- Areli having fun
- Areli alert
- Kelly looking fine (love her lashes in this shot)
- Paula! (who I also didn’t give fair time to yesterday)
- Amanda (looking better and better every year)
- You will see lots of the photogenic Danielle this year
- Sweet and adorable Paulina
- I met the likable Paulina outside the Cheer Reception this year.
- Paulina was nice, seems genuine, and of course, I love her look. 🙂
- This is Karyn, who I talked to for a long time at the Reception — Very impressive young lady, and great representative of UCLA!
