Last Games for Seniors

(Ed Note: Bruce Davis is now playing in the Senior Bowl.)

The last game for all the 2007 seniors was the Las Vegas Bowl last month. But a few more will play in some all star games.

This past Saturday was the Hula Bowl. It featured offensive guard Shannon Tevaga playing for the West team. Chris Horton also received an invitation but he declined to attend. The West team didn't fair too well and former WSU quarterback Alex Brink and Stanford quarterback T.C. Ostrander kind of stunk it up.

The East West Shrine Game is this up coming Saturday (Jan 19th). Bruce Davis and Dennis Keyes will be playing in that game. An interesting note is that the website for the game has a picture of (I think) Drew Olson. Pretty cool. Another note is that former UCLA coach Dick Vermil will be one of the coaches for the game. It will be played in Houston Texas and at least a replay of the game is available on ESPN2 and ESPNU. I don't think it is available live on national TV.

The last contest with a Bruin is the Texas vs. The Nation game. It will be held on February 2nd. Rodney Van is playing in that game. Not a whole lot of details yet on that one but I'm guessing it won't be on national TV either.

Unfortunately, no Bruins were selected to the Senior Bowl. A large contingent of PAC-10 stars will be there for that game on January 26th. It will be covered by the NFL network.
