Having signed up for a 15th year of UCLA home football games, I motored to my alma mater's scrimmage at beautiful Spalding Field to seek answers about the promise of the coming season. But all I got were questions:
* Will Ben Olson be the quarterback and throw to the end zone rather than the sidelines?
* Why does the team look similar to last year's, with anemic running, sideways passes and unnecessary penalties?
* Who is our game-breaker?
* Why did a burly usher grab my arm, push me and tell me to "use the gate" as I tried to step around her?
* Why was she blocking the aisle?
* What "gate"?
* Why was our alumni cheerleader wearing his sweater?

Last week's letter denigrating the Trojans and predicting that UCLA's football team will "once again reign supreme" was right on the money. It's absolutely bound to happen -- just not in this lifetime.
