Though some at UCLA may be disappointed that the Bruins are going to the Cotton Bowl to play Texas A&M instead of to an Alliance bowl, coach Bob Toledo relishes the opportunity to face his old boss. Toledo was fired from his job as A&M's offensive coordinator by Aggies coach R.C. Slocum after the 1993 season.

Toledo won't say so, but he already feels somewhat vindicated. After last season Slocum fired Steve Ensminger, the man who succeeded Toledo as A&M's coordinator, and replaced him with Steve Marshall, who had been on Toledo's staff at UCLA.
