UCLA Caught up in the buildup of the USC-UCLA matchup on Saturday, some hooligans – most likely hooligans with an affinity for USC football – decided to play a prank by vandalizing the Bruins mascot (located on the Westwood campus of UCLA) by throwing cardinal and gold paint on it. And wouldn’t you know it? Cardinal and gold just so happen to be USC colors! Snap!…UCLA spokesman Phil Hampton said it’s unclear when the statue, which had been wrapped to protect it from harm, was vandalized. But it could have been between 10 p.m. Tuesday and 6 a.m. today, when the paint-splattered ...

I suspect that's less of a problem today ... Just to clarify, the paint-wielding SC fans aren't protesting the Bruin's fashion fur: This one's for Tommy Trojan. As prank wars go, it's no Bayside-Valley, but it will do in a pinch. Game on, fellows! ...
