Chipotle Insanity

For whatever reason, I have never really been much of a Chipotle guy. Perhaps I just haven't lived in close proximity to a Chipotle, perhaps I usually just decide on Baja Fresh before the thought of Chipotle even crosses my mind?...I'm not sure, but this afternoon, after attending the UCLA vs Texas A&M basketball game at the Anaheim Honda Center, I went to Chipotle for just the 2nd time in my life.

I ordered a chicken salad to go, and it ended up being pretty tasty, but that's not the point.

As I returned to my car, it hit me that the only other time that I patronized a Chipotle was in Tucson, Arizona, immediately following the UCLA vs Texas Tech basketball game at the McKale Center in the first round of the 2005 NCAA Tournament.

Pretty crazy if you ask me.

Purely out of respect to the incredibly awesome random similarities of these 2 visits, I will refuse to patronize a Chipotle until immediately after the next time I attend a UCLA vs (insert Texas school here) basketball game on a neutral court.

Best.Victory.Celebration.Ever.

So yea on Saturday afternoon we finally beat USC and we celebrated and there were some great youtube videos that came out of that affair, and that was fantastic.

But the events which took place on Sunday afternoon put our victory celebration to shame.

Around 2:00PM PST, UCLA lost a Mens Soccer match to UC Santa Barbara in what would have been our milestone 100th National Championship.

And I couldn't be happier.

The kids at UCSB completely made my day.

They stormed their school's soccer practice field, ripped out the goal, marched it across campus, through Isla Vista, and launched it into the OCEAN!!!





European Hooligans don't have anything on that.

Well done Gauchos. Well done.
