The UCLA Bruins football program opens the 2024 season and the DeShaun Foster era with a road game at Hawaii on August 31.
However, Foster made it clear he doesn’t plan on wearing a Hawaiian shirt for the game, per Ben Bolch of The Los Angeles Times.
“We’re not on vacay. You know bowl games, it’s a different feel; this is our first game – people are always saying this is their Super Bowl, this is ours too, you know, we want to get this started off on the right foot.”
It is the beginning of a new era with Foster as the head coach, marking the first time in his career he is running the show.
But, the Bruins should be favorites for the game against the Rainbow Warriors, which could help get them on the right foot.
However, don’t expect Foster to rock the Hawaiian shirt at the game.
DeShaun Foster won't wear Hawaiian shirt for season opener: "We’re not on vacay. You know bowl games, it’s a different feel; this is our first game – people are always saying this is their Super Bowl, this is ours too, you know, we want to get this started off on the right foot."
