UCLA football is back, and Bruins across the Twittersphere are celebrating.

More than a month after its season was delayed until 2021, UCLA football will now return to the field the weekend of Nov. 6. University presidents and chancellors from across the Pac-12 unanimously voted to resume the season during a CEO meeting Thursday, according to a statement released by the conference.

UCLA athletes responded to the news with overwhelming support, as many had been calling on administrators and lawmakers to allow a return to play for weeks.

Even new Director of Athletics Martin Jarmond joined in on the celebration.
