[NU Sports] fear not UCLA

[Jim Bendat]

Have to agree with Alan.  Hey, my wife went to UCLA.  Meanwhile, my 
daughter goes to NU and I went there.  If this game happens, it will be 
a family war.  I say:  BRING IT ON.  And, yes, we all want a bowl win. 
 But playing UCLA - win or lose - will be a much bigger, national deal 
than beating some crappy third-rate ACC team anyway. -- Jim B.
