<p>Jim Brown, for one, wants to make sure he doesn?t make the same mistake he made in 1998, when he attended every game during the Bruins? undefeated football season but missed the final game against Miami, which the Bruins eventually lost and kept them out of the BCS Championship game.</p>

<p>?I still regret that decision,? Brown said. ?You better believe that I will be in Atlanta if the Bruins make it.?</p>

<p>For now, the Browns are just making sure the Bruins will get to the NCAA tournament. They will be in attendance for Saturday?s game against the Oregon Ducks in Eugene and already have plans to attend the Arizona game in Tucson in February, as well as the Washington game in Seattle in March.</p>

<p>Along the way, they plan on trying to meet as many of the Bruin players and coaches as possible.</p>

<p>?We went to their hotel (in Eugene) and were able to see all the coaches,? Nancy Brown said. ?It was a great moment for our kids.?</p>

<p>For Jim Brown, the 2006-2007 Bruin season is a dream year he has wanted since he used to sneak into the lower Pauley Pavilion seats at basketball games as a student.</p>

<p>Brown, in fact, still remembers the annual rivalry UCLA used to have with Notre Dame in basketball with Digger Phelps as coach, and the annual USC-UCLA football games that were held at the Coliseum before the Bruins started playing their home games at the Rose Bowl.</p>

<p>?There are too many great memories to count,? he said. ?I had a great time as a student at UCLA.?</p>

<p>Brown has kept the Bruin tradition in his family by entering his son into coach Ben Howland?s annual summer basketball camps and attending all Bruin home games for the last 14 years.</p>

<p>Jim Brown?s hope now is that his kids can one day attend UCLA and eventually pass the traditions along to their own children.</p><br><br><a href='http://www.dailybruin.com/news/articles.asp?id=39315' target='_blank'>http://www.dailybruin.com/news/articles.asp?id=39315</a><br><br>
