The UCLA Bruins will be able to play their season opener, despite the threat of the California wildfires currently ridding the state of its dry deadwood. As you can see in the lead image, the news has Rick Neuheisel excited to the level of King Leonidas proportions.

This. Is. UCLA!!!!!

The Bruins open their season against San Diego State on Saturday in a game that will be played in the Rose Bowl. In a rather magnanimous move, UCLA is also offering free tickets to California firefighters (the article actually says “Southern California firefighters,” just in case there’s a real difference) and their immediate families. Maybe some of them will actually be able to get away from their life/property-saving endeavors to watch LA’s “other” college football team.
