  • *UCLA Crushed* Musubi-chan is the best. I live and breathe UCLA football. We are not the best team in the nation. Crap, we're not even in the top 25 or maybe even top 50. But I love 'em anyway. I've been rooting for them…

  • : Sweaty football info : I know there are some sweaters out there. No, I dont' mean the garment you wear, but those who perspire a lot. Musubi-chan would kill me if she actually read anything I wrote here, but she's a sw…
