The Latest UCLA Football Debacle

I looked out and saw rainy weather.
Why not watch boys kick pigskin leather?
What if rain was barley juice, not water - 
to the magnavox and my alma mater.
A strange woman says "fix the door".
Where have I heard that voice before?
A green field where blue and gold bodies lay,
the uniforms of UCLA,
like a photo by Mathew Brady - 
Do I know that voice?  Who is this lady?
And who is responsible for this ruin?
He goes by the name of Joe Bruin.
