University of California, Los Angeles

It has been a long time coming and the Bruins didn't always help their cause turning the ball over five times, three of them fumbles and two interceptions. Still UCLA found a way to get back in the winning column for the first time in six tries

UCLA plays Washington today, and Bruins Coach Rick Neuheisel has never lost to one of his former teams. He is 2-0 against Colorado and 2-0 against the Huskies. Then again, he had never lost to Stanford until this season. Times staff writer Chris Foster looks at some of the game's key matchups a...

The Bruins closed out perhaps their best week of practice in a very long time. Now hopefully they will take the crispness that they showed this week on Spaulding to the Rose Bowl. So far UCLA has only showed glimpses of what they do during the week on Saturday. Is this the week it all comes togethe...

The UCLA men's basketball team opened their season avoiding a major upset against the Concordia Eagles by hitting a three point shot with sixteen seconds left to win the game by one point, 62 to 61. After being behind for almost the whole game, the Bruin's [db]Mustafa Abdul-Hamid[/db] nai...

By Bruin Basketball Report By Bruin Basketball Report Junior Mustafa Abdul-Hamid nailed a game-winning three-pointer with 16.1 seconds remaining to lead the UCLA basketball team past Concordia University, 62-61, in an exhibition game Wednesday evening in Pauley Pavilion.

Quarterback Kevin Prince leads late rally, providing encouragement to Coach Rick Neuheisel, but in the end UCLA suffers fifth straight loss, as Oregon State scores in final minute to win, 26-19. UCLA quarterback Kevin Prince came to the sideline, slipping past the pats on the back. He wen...

Coach Rick Neuheisel has been barking criticism and lavishing praise. Quarterback Kevin Prince will try to build on a solid game against Cal. Can he outduel the Wildcats' Nick Foles? Coach Rick Neuheisel has been barking criticism and lavishing praise. Quarterback Kevin Prince will try t...

Expectations are lower this season for the Bruins, who lost almost every key player from last season. Even another stellar recruiting class may not be enough to keep them in the top 25. Expectations are lower this season for the Bruins, who lost almost every key player from last season. Even a...

By ryebreadraz One goal games did the #2 Bruins in at the UCI Invitational. After beating Redlands, 14-4, in the tournament opener and #8 Long Beach St., 16-6, UCLA suffered a pair of one goal losses. In the semifinals, the Bruins were dropped by #3 USC, 9-8, then in the third place match, the score was 5-4 as #1...

By muircoach Bumped. Wanted to make sure this big news from the weekend didn't get buried. Getting a 4 star OL recruit such as Ward is a huge deal.It was especially significant given the commitment followed Malcolm Jones from earlier last week as UCLA nabbed two blue chippers from regal programs such as OC...

By bruinponcho Rivals.com has been doing a countdown of college basketball teams. Today they got to number 30. And the 30th best team according to them is our very own UCLA Bruins. The projection: That should put him back in action at roughly the same time the Bruins play their season opener against Cal State F...

By Nestor In case any one wants a reminder here are couple of plays from this past Saturday: GO BRUINS. I am guessing Kaiser might not be ready for Saturday. However, it sounds like Weems and Cody are already part of their regular rotation. GO BRUINS.

By Nestor 1st and 10 at UCLA 43    UCLA penalty 6 yard false start accepted.           1st and 16 at UCLA 37    UCLA penalty 10 yard holding accepted.           1st and 26 at UCLA 27    Kevin Craft pass complete to Derrick Coleman for 3 yards to the UCLA 30.          

In what is believed to be the nation's largest-ever university-organized volunteer day, 4,300 UCLA students fanned out across Los Angeles Tuesday morning to make the city a better place.

By ryebreadraz The NorCal Tournament always boasts a strong field as this year was no exception as the nation's top ten teams were in the Stanford pool. The #4 Bruins opened the tournament with a pair of wins on Saturday, the first over #10 Concordia and the second over #5 Loyola Marymount. This set up a semif...

By Nestor Consider some factors in play before UCLA took on KSU: We have to fix that," UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel said. "(Saturday), just in the urgency to try to keep things going we were lining up wrong, guys were trying to make plays and blocking below the waist. GO BRUINS.

By Dave(noreply@blogger.com) Is Best up for this gantlet? It's a fair question, no matter how wonderfully team oriented he and the No. 8 Bears (2-0) are talking and playing.  Best's big-game credentials are lacking (not "Big Game" vs. Stanford, mind you), and here come some biggies. What makes unranked Minnesota (2-0) so...

By Rick Kimbrel Ever since four-star wide receiver, Kenny Stills (6-2, 175, 4.4) from Carlsbad (Calif.) La Costa Canyon blew up the NIKE Camp in Los Angeles where he was the camp wide receiver MVP everybody knew he was one of the best football players in the Golden State for the class of 2010. Now after his perf...

By Nestor We will start our Tuesday roundup with some tough news from the football program. It appears that Osaar Rasshan's football career might be over: If all of UCLA's incoming recruits qualify academically, the Bruins would be still two over the maximum 85 allowed by the NCAA. GO BRUINS.

By Nestor UCLA played Long Beach State their first game, a team the Bruins had lost to earlier in the season. In that first game, which is always the toughest, it was tied up in the third and remained tied until the sixth when the Bruins scored to take the lead. GO BRUINS.

By ryebreadraz It was a day for the seniors in the final home game for four Bruin seniors. With that in mind, the Bruins came out blazing and three UCLA seniors each notched three hits as the Bruins combined for 19 in the game to outscore #5 Cal St. Fullerton 13-10 in a thrilling series finale. Matt Grace earned t...

By Nestor Menlo School senior football standout Jerry Rice Jr. may be running up and down the field in Stanford Stadium one of these seasons, but he won't be wearing the Cardinal's colors. Instead, it could be UCLA's blue and gold. Rice made it official last week that he's committed to attend UCLA this f...

By Nestor Adding insult to injury, of all 65 NCAA teams named Sunday, UCLA was singled out as CBS college basketball analyst Seth Davis' first-round upset special. It's cool for (Villanova) and it's kind of cool for us, too," Bruins freshman guard Jrue Holiday said. "It's kind of us-against-the-wo...

By ryebreadraz Come welcome in the 2009 baseball season at Jackie Robinson Stadium this weekend. Game times are Friday at 6 pm PST, Saturday at 2 pm PST and Sunday at 1 pm PST. For those of you going to the basketball game on Saturday, you can hop on over to JRS following the game and probably not miss more than an...

By Nestor It was a typical day for UCLA basketball and a really good one for UCLA football. Hopefully they can keep this trend going when taking on a solid Irish team this Saturday morning. Here is to more "typical day for UCLA basketball" rest of the season.

By ucla7477 When game time finally did arrive, Traveler--the football horse--was in the Sports Arena. They never made another basket, Wooden players simply outscoring them 14-1 down the stretch.  UCLA went back to #1 in the nation and would stay there through an NCAA record 88-game winning streak.

By David J. Miller I have always viewed fraternities, clubs, and various student unions as clear market segments for entrepreneurs to approach. I have also viewed diverse groupings as segments where entrepreneurs can find inspiration, ideas, products etc. and then take them to broader/other audiences...

INSIDE SLANT UCLA still has hopes of a big finish and a bowl game, but, at least for a while, the coaches will be focusing on recruiting. Coach Rick Neuheisel is putting together his first full recruiting class -- and this area is supposed to be his strength as he sometimes flies by helicopter...

By Nestor I don’t know what’s in CBH’s head or heart, whether it’s the NBA, another school, a bigger paycheck, or if it is leading UCLA Basketball for the next 20+ years. Of course, I hope it is the latter. And so far, everything he has said and done since coming to Westwood appears to support the latter, a...

By Nestor As of right now Bruins have only 3 soft verbals left with good shots at holding on to Jones and Knox. And it looks Bruins may be on the verge of getting some good news on the Knox front as well. From Perelman's blog in LAT:Information received today indicates that Parade All-American running ba...

By Nestor Photo Credit/Source: UCLA Bruins Official Website That's Coach Rick Neuheisel, Rose Bowl Champion & MVP, and now officially the 16th head football coach of our football program. We have gotten ourselves a football coach to go along with Coach Ben Howland. GO BRUINS.

By Guest Blogger My greatest fear all along was that what is wrong with UCLA is endemic and deeply ingrained, and can't be fixed anytime soon. This same process and these same attitudes have gone on for so long that it becomes hard to imagine us ever proceeding in a different way--the way that Michigan or even...

By Nestor I’ve been told that the Dorrell hire was out of Guerrero’s hands — that former chancellor Al Carnesale made the call. The Bruins would be wise to stand back and let Guerrero, who hired Ben Howland, do his job this time.) Here’s one (a personal one): UCLA faculty rep Don Morrison is a sharp, stan...

By Guest Blogger It has been said countless times of course; but it still must be repeated:  Karl Dorrell was completely unqualified to have been hired as UCLA football coach; and once hired, has achieved nothing which should warrant him still being around.  We all know that he wouldn't be around were this...

By CW Boston College at Notre Dame- For all of the reinvigorated Notre Dame nation, at least, as the Irish try to turn a losing streak that spanned ten months into a minor winning streak.  Matt Ryan is very, very good, and if our team is to prove they’re for real, they’ll need to replicate the effort...

By Rob 8. Navy '04: The lone contender from freshman year and the only reason I went was because I was home for fall break at the time.  Not too many good stories from this one, except that Giants Stadium is a terrible place to play college football.  Oh, wait, they sell beer?  Scratch that last stateme...

By Nestor Couple of other numbers related to BYU football program we should all note:Everyone knows by now BYU is 1-6 against UCLA with their last victory coming in 1983 at the Rose Bowl. UCLA should destroy the Cougars this Saturday. GO BRUINS.

By mole333 And for me UCLA is the archetypal university. Yes, I know there are older, more prestigious, whatever. But to me Royce Hall and Powell Library are the perfection of university architecture, and the UCLA campus overall the ideal campus. And for the record, everyone I know who got their Ph.D. in m...

By Laron Cue I had a chance to catch the UCLA Jazz Reggae Festival, on Sunday May 27, 2007. The festival was a perfect start to a season filled with music, ushering in the Memorial Day Weekend, and the beginning of summer. The two day event is a regular function in Los Angeles, and this year’s line up was as sp...

PreJermaine Curtis, UCLA baseball was 1014. Not exactly the dregs of 2005 1541, but a disappointment given that the Bruins went 3325 and returned to the NCAA Tournament last year.

Jordan Farmar was born in Los Angeles and played at UCLA. His father and godfather played pro baseball. The limelight does not faze the Lakers rookie point guard.

Ben Howland shouts out a pickandroll play, stomping his foot for emphasis. Not open. His assistant coach holds up a flash card, calling a backdoor cut. Nothing there.

Darren Collison scored 15 points, hit two late free throws and made the gamedeciding steal as UCLA survived both Indianas stifling defense and its frantic tying rally for a 5449 secondround victory Saturday night in the West Regional of the NCAA Tournament.

UCLA point guard Darren Collison sprained his ankle during practice Tuesday but likely will be ready to play in the Bruins NCAA Tournament firstround game against Weber State.

Arron Afflalo scored 14 points to help No. 2 UCLA defeat No. 13 Washington State 5345 on Thursday night in a showdown of the top two teams in the Pacific10 Conference.

UCLA sophomore Darren Collison is making a stretch run for Pac10 Player of the Year in what had been a twoman race between his teammate, Bruins shooting guard Arron Afflalo.

But on Saturday, the No. 11 UCLA men's basketball team (11-2, 1-1 Pac-10) had little trouble pinpointing exactly what the problem was in a 68-61 loss to Cal (8-3, 2-0) at Pauley Pavilion that snapped the Bruins' eight-game winning streak.

“That was a great victory for our team,” coach Ben Howland said. Howland singled out the defensive intensity of Afflalo and Farmar, who collectively shut down star Stanford guards Chris Hernandez and Matt Grunfeld to key UCLA’s early run.

UCLA (20-10) followed up a first round win over Kansas (15-15) on Friday with a 3-0 sweep of San Diego (23-6) in the second round on Saturday in Pauley Pavilion. UCLA beat San Diego Barba hit a season-high .688 with 11 kills and no errors in her last game at Pauley Pavilion.

He might not be playing point guard for the Bruins anymore but he has a versatile role - being able to play three positions - and he played well in the team's exhibition game against Carleton University on Friday. This is a great kid who deserves to leave Westwood on a great note. Let's hope he tu...
