The Bruins beat USC in at least one thing: the campus

AFTER 2 A.M.: Jerry Famous Deli. This delicatessen located in The Village is frequented by the likes of Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David and has become the spot where students nosh on loaded pastrami sandwiches and matzo ball soup while pulling all-nighters.

MUST-EAT: Diddy Riese. This legendary cookie store near campus with a constant line of students stretching out of its glass doors has served up fresh cookies, muffins, brownies and ice cream since it opened in 1983. Despite recently raising their prices, a single cookie is still 35 cents, a "Diddy" dozen is only $3.75, and the famous ice-cream sandwiches are only a buck.

DOSE OF CULTURE: Pierce Bros Westwood Village Memorial Park. This tiny cemetery near campus is the final resting places of some of the most famous stars in Hollywood, including Marilyn Monroe, Donna Reed, Dean Martin, Natalie Wood, Roy Orbison, Carroll O'Connor, Jack Lemmon, Walter Matthau, Peggy Lee, Mel Torme, Peggy Lee, George C. Scott, Burt Lancaster, Eve Arden, Carl Wilson, Eva Gabor and Truman Capote.

RULE #86: Do not wear a red shirt on campus or in The Village unless you want to be subjected to the not-as-friendly-as-it-may-sound chant of "Take off that red shirt!" Failure to do so may result in a different hue of red on your shirt.

MUSIC MUST-STOP: Royce Hall. With its dramatic archways and bell towers, this legendary building is regarded as one of the nation's finest concert halls. It was actually the original building on the UCLA campus, completed in 1929, and has seen such legends as Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, Luciano Pavarotti, George and Ira Gershwin, Arthur Rubinstein, Ella Fitzgerald, Miles Davis and Stevie Wonder grace its stage.

GETTING AROUND: Everyone in LA has a car or knows someone who has a car; public transportation is something most locals have only heard about. But there's no need for a car -- just a comfortable pair of shoes if you're on campus or The Village.

TICKETMASTER: Tickets for all UCLA athletic events can be purchased online at uclabruins.com or at the on-campus ticket office. Even when games are sold out, scalpers are around holding up the obligatory "I Need Tickets" sign with dozens of dockets in their back pockets.

ONLY AT UCLA: J.D. Morgan Center. Most of UCLA's record 118 national championships, including the 11 men's basketball titles won by legendary coach John Wooden, are housed in the Bruins' plush athletic center located next to Pauley Pavilion and are on display in the Hall of Fame wing, which is open to the public on weekdays.

PREGAME: No pregame (or postgame, for that matter) would be complete without a trip to Maloney's, UCLA's rite-of-passage watering hole located in the heart of The Village. It's the perfect place to grab a drink with friends before the game and/or party until 2 a.m. with students and locals after the game.

MARK YOUR CALENDAR: With their game against USC taking place at the Coliseum this season, the next big date on the Bruins' home calendar is the men's basketball team's Dec. 29 game against Stanford at Pauley Pavilion. With both teams ranked in the Top 25, this early season game could go along way in determining who challenges Arizona for the conference crown.

PACK YOUR: Sneakers and basketball shorts and buy a day pass to the John Wooden Center, where, if you're lucky, you can hoop it up with the likes of Master P, Jack Haley, Dennis Rodman or any number of current or retired athletes taking part in one of the many legendary pick-up games on campus.

RITE OF PASSAGE: If it's a nice day (and in Los Angeles when is it not?), take your sandals off and make like most every UCLA graduate and walk through the inverted water fountain in the center of campus.
