UCLA Fans Are Eye-Popping, Violent Fools

And wannabe Raider fans.

Ever classy in victory, some UCLA fans went into mob rule mode (something our Founders rightly feared because of incidents like this) and extinguished the eye of an unsuspecting USC fan before last Saturday's victory against USC.

The USC fan, 32-year-old Daniel Crowson, and a friend, were beaten by upwards of 10 UCLA fans.

[Crowson] told reporters he lost an eye when he and a friend were set upon by as many as 10 UCLA fans simply they were "convenient" and "had the opposing colors on."

"There certainly was no instigation," the Torrance man said.

Fun times at the Rose Bowl! This story's just gruesome, cover your eyes kids for the next few sentences.

Crowson said he was taking punches from as many as 10 attackers, then "out of nowhere, I just remember seeing a flash of a bottle come across my face."

A cut to an eyeball took more than five hours to repair in surgery at Kaiser Permanente in Harbor City, he said.

His wife also recounted seeing her husband's injuries. "I see my husband come around the front of the car, covered in blood and just adrenaline-pumped, and screaming and saying, 'They hit me with a bottle, they hit me with a bottle,'" she said. "The glass that hit his eye went through every layer of eye, severing it all, all the way to the jelly."

All the way to the jelly? Ewww.

Sounds like something I saw in an episode of CSI once. But worse. Er no, because that guy died and Crowson is fortunately alive. But dammit that must've hurt.

You stay classy, Bruin fans.
