UCLA marked its territory on Arizona State's midfield logo (Photos)
In case Arizona State wasn't sure who its opponent was Thursday night, UCLA wanted to remind the Sun Devils.
As Bruins players were on the field for pregame warmups, "UCLA" got scratched into the middle stake of the ASU trident logo at midfield.

Naturally, Arizona State didn't take too kindly to the graffiti and repainted over the markings.

And then, of course, someone got to guard the logo after it was repainted to make sure that it wasn't defaced again.

It's Arizona State's blackout game, so the black paint on the field made any markings on it rather visible. And while we don't condone vandalism, this harmless fun in this instance made us chuckle. Well done, UCLA. It's a good way to get under the Sun Devils' skin, though it'll mean more if UCLA wins.
