Tie
11/24/77 The day I became a Bronco fan. When Tom Jackson took back a Bert Jones pass 73 yards. After watching all the orange frenzy brake out. I was hooked.

Why I am a fan:
|
Always wanted to go there, also I could never root for USC.
|
|
|
Favorite Moments:
|
UCLA's 17 point comeback versus USC in 1996. I sat at the Rose Bowl and felt it was all over when SC went back up 17, but the Bruins got up off the floor and made life miserable for USC, that and the miracle of 2006 beating USC and ruining their shot at BCS Championship game appearance.
