Here is information on what is going on prior to UCLA's home opener vs. Stanford this Saturday night at the Rose Bowl:

COMMEMORATING 9/11
     This will be the first game in the history of UCLA where the UCLA head coach will wear even a stitch of red on his sideline wear.  (The entire coaching staff and non-performing players are scheduled to wear it too.).  Because of the significance of the 9/11 game,  UCLA will have a brief tribute commemorating 9/11 and the coaches will wear a shirt with UCLA in red, white and blue in a flag design (the U and the C will be blue with white stars and the L and the A will have red and white stripes).  There will also be a color guard presentation during the National Anthem.
