“We played Michigan three times in 366 days in one span,” the former UCLA coach recalled Friday. “They kicked our butt in the Bluebonnet Bowl [Dec. 31, 1981], and then we played them at Ann Arbor in the third game the next season.
“In that one, they get up on us in the first half, 21-0. Some sort of bad call by the refs happened right before the half, and so, when the gun went off, I’m right out there in one of the officials’ face. I’m yelling at this guy and I turn around and who is standing right behind me? It’s Bo.
“So I ask him what he’s doing there, and he says to me, ‘It’s my stadium.'”
Terry Donahue as reported by Bill Dwyre in the Los Angeles Times.
UCLA won the game 31-27.
