Did You Watch The UCLA vs. USC College Football Game?
By: Brian Kim - December 2, 2006
I was going to upload another article, but I had to take the time to write this. If you’ve been to Yahoo or ESPN.com recently, you know what this article is going to be about.
I know that many of my readers come from outside of the United States and some of you might be not be all that familiar with college football, so please allow me to briefly explain the situation.
UCLA (University of California Los Angeles) and USC (University of Southern California) are HUGE cross town rivals. Both are great universities. I graduated from UCLA so obviously I’m a big fan of them.
Every year, these two teams play each other at the end of their seasons. The longest winning streak came from UCLA with 8 wins in a row. Then USC came along with a 7 game streak of their own. A win today would tie the all time streak record.
Now here’s the juicy part. USC was ranked as the #2 football team in the nation and if they won this game, they would be playing for the national championships, the SuperBowl of college football if you will.
Everybody thought that USC would roll over UCLA. UCLA was 6-5 for the season. 6 wins, 5 losses. USC was 10-1. 10 wins, 1 loss. USC was ranked #2 in the nation and beat #5 Notre Dame (another great college football team) in the previous week. Everybody thought that USC would roll over UCLA.
Let me repeat that again.
Everybody thought that USC would roll over UCLA.

When the reporter interviewed the head coach of the UCLA Bruins, Karl Dorrell, after the game, she asked him this question.
“How are you feeling right now?”
“I feel great for our players. They had to endure a whole lot of information, a lot of mess, it was just fun for them, I really am proud of them. They hung in there. Nobody believed in us. We only believed in ourselves.”
“Other than you guys, did anybody else believe you could pull off the upset?”
“Nobody. Nobody. That’s why I love these guys. Great kids, great character.”
That same reporter also caught up with the UCLA quarterback Patrick Cowan and asked him this question.
“When did you really know that you could steal this one?”
“Before the game. We knew. You can’t go into a game thinking you’re going to lose if you want to win. So we visualized winning and we were able to get the victory.”
I don’t have to tell you how this applies.
Don’t worry about the people who say it can’t be done. It’s worthless. It has no bearing. Throw that all aside.
Believe in yourself.
Your competition is with yourself and nobody else. Doesn’t matter what the obstacle is. You can overcome it.
Don’t worry about what the critics say. Believe in yourself.
Believe in yourself.
However, don’t let that statement fool you though.
Belief alone can’t help you to achieve your goals. There are other factors involved as well and if you look closely enough at the story of these two teams and the game they played, you’ll be able to piece it together.
For the people who read my book, you’ll easily be able to frame the victory and see how the UCLA Bruins were able to achieve their goal of winning the game against the #2 team in the country.
Remember, impossible is nothing.

Hi Soyica,
I couldn’t help but laugh when I read your first sentence
I figured some of my readers were waiting for me to write something about it.
I’m glad that my book was able to help you put the pieces together and develop a better understanding of accomplishing our goals. This game is a classic example!
