By Jon Wilner Just checked the opening lines from the Las Vegas Sports Consultants, who establish the initial point spread and from there the casinos adjust their number based on money flow. Stanford is an 8-point favorite. I pass this on not to condone gambling but because it’s useful in establishing t...

By Kerckhoff405 Since everyone has already chimed in about our performance against Stanford, I thought I'd give my two cents about the awesome Bruin Bash tailgate that took place right before the game.  I also brought my camera to take pictures of both the Bash and the game, but ended up taking more pics of t...

The Bruins lost their second game of the season on Saturday, their second to the Cardinal, as Stanford was able to overcome two goals by UCLA's Scott Davidson to beat the Bruins, 8-6, in Palo Alto. The following day, UCLA bea...

I don’t think the game will be a complete sell out (iirc, the Cal game 2 years ago is the only sellout at the new s...

By Nestor Well for the first time since 2001, Bruins can have a shot at it. However, they will get that shot IF AND ONLY IF they can execute against a tough, superbly coached Stanford Cardinal this upcoming Saturday in Palo Alto. Last week it was Washington, that was the toast of the Pac-10. This week it wi...

Q: I saw where the readers of this blog, as well as yourself, have mocked the Stanford Dollies, but I think everyone is missing the point of the Dollies. The reason the Stanford Dollies come across as being the way they are is because they are mocking the very notion of cheerleaders by being "a...
