UCLA players celebrate their 38-28 victory over USC at the Rose Bowl on Saturday.
While the rain came down on the fans and players during UCLA's 38-28 victory over crosstown rival USC at the Rose Bowl, the tweets poured out on the Internet... luckily we collected a few of the choice ones shared by NFL players who used to play for the two Southern California football programs:

Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe kept hinting after UCLA's win that teammate Matt Kalil lost a bet. But it's hard to imagine the 6-foot-6, 308-pound offensive tackle ever agreeing to this:
So I'm thinking either @Mattkalil can record a video of himself singing the UCLA fight song in a cheerleader outfit...

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis saw some positives from Mississippi's 41-35 loss to heavily favored LSU:
Olemiss played tough today. If they can play like that against LSU, they can play with anybody in the country. Motivation!! #HottyToddy#
