There's a little secret about me that 8 of you may not know...
I'll give you a hint:
I am not a lot less hairy than I was the last two years as an undergrad at UCLA.
My husband is very thankful about that for two reasons - 1) that's how he met me and 2) it no longer applies.
While growing up a UCLA fan (8th member of my family to attend), my family had season tickets (still do to this day) for Bruin Football. My father (Class of '70) used to encourage my brother and I through subtle hints about the activities we could do while one day attending his alma mater. Ever gender-correct, Dad would point out the awesome football team to JB and make me take notice of the beautiful, bubbly dance team, saying, "Someday, Jen will be cheering on the sidelines for JB."
Ahhh....a father's dream.
Not. JB played baseball and I, well, I went for a less prestigious position - the female mascot, Josephine Bruin.
BOY DID I LOVE IT!
Not only did I meet my future husband and father of my own 3 Little Bruins.
As Josie, my head fell off twice, I was “mounted” by the Kansas Jayhawk and had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to represent UCLA while riding on a barge with the deafening band behind us on San Antonio’s RiverWalk for the Sweet 16. Fast forward 12 years later....
I've been chosen for the Capital One Bowl Mascot Challenge as the official blogger for UCLA and Mighty Joe Bruin.
WAHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Why do I care about Joe when I was Josie? Because behind every GOOD Bruin is a GREAT Bruinette...? HUH?
