PAST EVENTS

Annual Spring Reception

April 25th, 2009

With Spring in the air, the Bruin Nation converged in Pasadena to get a preview of what's in store for our football program this upcoming season. The Rose Bowl was in full tailgate mode, and once again, we had a special party set aside for our BVC faithful. There was a great vibe, as many in attendance were anxious to get the second year of the Neuheisel era underway. The party then moved from the tent to the football field and we practiced our "8-Claps" and the team scrimmaged in front of 7,000-plus rabid Bruin fans. What a day!!!

One of the most talented national championship teams that UCLA has fielded in any sport was celebrated in the Morgan Center before watching the current Bruins squad, in a four-team meet at Pauley Pavilion. The team included three future UCLA Hall of Famers: Peter Vidmar, Tim Daggett and Mitch Gaylord. We also had the pleasure of being joined by the larger Bruin gymnastics community, as coach Kondos-Field invited many of the other former teams as well. The day ended with the current Bruin gymnasts thumping their competition in Pauley once again!

A perfect way to start off the New Year!!! On a Sunday afternoon, BVC members and their guests came to the J.D. Morgan Center to reunite with one another and enjoy a pre-game party in the Hall of Fame, before heading to Pauley Pavilion to watch our Women's Basketball squad take on our U$C rivals. Coach Nikki Caldwell stopped by the party to address the crowd and promised we'd see a strong performance that day...and she delivered! We took it to the Women of Troy in an 87-75 thumping, in front of a crowd of more than 5,000.

Calling all former Bruin Football players! For select home games during the 2008 season, we held an exclusive pre-game tailgate party for our former footballers. Players and their guests were treated to catered food, a full bar, big screen televisions, and comfortable seating, in a sports-lounge type of atmosphere. The former players and their guests were also given the opportunity to be escorted onto the playing field prior to each game during pre-game warm-ups. Look for us in 2009!!!

Sorry, no photos for this event.

We came, we saw, we conquered! More than 1,500 former Bruin athletes and their guests celebrated at the Rose Bowl before we took on the Stanford Cardinal during UCLA Homecoming Weekend. It was an early day as people began arriving at 10:00am to celebrate Bruin unity. We ate ribs, danced to the DJ, chatted with old friends and kept the bartender busy! The day's festivities then moved to the football field, as our gutty Bruins captured victory on a last second touchdown pass!!!

Welcome to the Bruin Varsity Club! This was our first mass-gathering of Bruin letter winners under the new "Bruin Varsity Club" banner. What a great day we had getting to be with each other once again. For some of us, it's been over 50 years. However, once a Bruin, always a Bruin! We might not all be the athletes we once were, but we sure didn't lose our ability to have a good time!
