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 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 ryebreadraz Any way you slice it, 2009 was a disappointing season for UCLA baseball. The Bruins entered the season ranked anywhere from #12 (Baseball America) to #25 (NCBWA) and yet their season ended with a loss. The problem is, the loss wasn't a Regional or Super Regional loss to Fullerton like the pas...

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 Nestor If I were CRN and other UCLA coaches and officials right now, I'd be on extra alert.  The Trojans are going to be in an all out hunt to look for any missteps from UCLA coaches and players.  We saw this happen in 2001.  UCLA was in the hunt for big season (we were the program to beat at that time coming o...

UCLA and Oregon completed the two-year deal Saturday when the Ducks clinched their victory in the meet-concluding 4x400-meter relay. Right before the relay, with the score 79-79, the UO crowd of 5039 chanted "Let's Go Ducks," while the Bruins rallied ...

By ryebreadraz Just like the Bruins have struggled, USC has as well. While they did not come into the season with as high of expectations as UCLA, the Trojans were picked by many to make a regional for the first time since 2005. Now in his third year at USC, head coach Chad Kreuter is on the hot seat and is clearly...

And he was there for an ASU upset of UCLA this season. That one had to seem really strange to Frieder - he was 0-17 against the Bruins. "Hell, I could never beat UCLA," Frieder said. "I'll tell you the stuff I did, but I'll tell you the stuff I ...

By ryebreadraz 19 UCLA began their spring season with a fifth place finish in the USC Invitational. The Bruins finished 28 shots behind the tournament winners, #5 Stanford. The season will continue this weekend as UCLA competes in the General Hackler Championship at TPC Myrtle Beach in S. Carolina.

By Nestor The Bruins are about to embark on their annual excursion across the border to the east, playing at Arizona State Thursday night and at Arizona Saturday morning. The Sun Devils already won at Pauley Pavilion and the Wildcats have won four in a row. It's quite possible that the Bruins could go 1...

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 Tracy Pierson It was a drowsy day Sunday, even inside Pauley Pavilion, where UCLA beat Lousiana Tech, 78-55. The Bruins weren't particularly on their game, and didn't sustain much defensive intensity, but we can all now put to rest the notion that UCLA isn't a running, fast-break team...

By David J. Miller InsiderHigherEd.com has a pretty good review/preview of a new study on impact of diversity on student attitudes.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL HIGHLIGHTS: Michigan knocks off No. 4 UCLA Chicago Sun-Times Bruins battle Wolverines in the Big Apple Sports Network

By Dave(noreply@blogger.com) I asked Cal coach Jeff Tedford what safety Marcus Ezeff is like. I asked because Ezeff was one of Cal’s stars in the 41-20 blowout of UCLA, and I never met Ezeff even though he went to Montgomery High School. When he was running downfield for the touchdown, what was he thinking? Ezeff stared at m...

By Achilles Why do Cal fans hate UCLA so much? Even more than that, I always felt their was a kinship between UCLA and Cal -- a kinship that ran a little deeper than the fact that they are both part of the same University of California. So, why do Cal fans hate UCLA so much?

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 At UCLA, Chow will not have that same type of talent to work with initially. The Bruins and Washington are the only teams in the Pac-10 without a all-conference position player returning next season, though Olson, running backs Kahlil Bell and Raymond Carter and split end Marcus Everett w...

By Guest Blogger Two years ago, before the Final Fours, and after a loss to Washington, which ignited a lot of debate about Howland's coaching, I expressed my opinions about Howland.  My belief, then as now, is that he is one of the very best coaches in college basketball, probably the best defensive coach o...

By Guest Blogger Bruin Blue brings the heat. For your part if you haven’t done it, please email Dan Guerrero at dguerrero@athletics.ucla.edu and Chancellor Gene Block at chancellor@conet.ucla.edu, and let them know respectfully and politely that neither CHOKER (Chow + Walker) nor Walker will be acceptab...

By Nestor Lastly, we will call out Dan Guerrero as big fat, lying scumbag, if he ends up shoveling the crap of Walker or CHOKER at the end of this coaching "search." We will do what we can to demand from Chancellor Block that he doesn't get a 3rd chance to atone for yet another mistake with our football pro...

By Guest Blogger We were all thrilled with your hiring of Ben Howland, a homerun hire if there ever was one.  Of course, Howland did help a good deal with his great interest in UCLA and his apparent willingness to accept less money than his old school, Pittsburgh, was offering.  And although I don't follow col...

By Nestor After playing sparingly last season as a backup point guard, Westbrook spent much of the offseason in the weight room, adding much-needed bulk to his spindly frame. The hard work has translated into increased playing time as Westbrook started at point guard in November, then slid over to...

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 BruinCore Pretty heady title.  So what do we mean?  Firing Karl Dorrell is not only the right thing for UCLA and UCLA football, but firing Dorrell will achieve 2 other significant results: 1) UCLA will have proven once again that we continue to live up to and add to our great legacy of diversity, and 2) C...

By Nestor Anderson said he enjoyed watching Farmar and Collison develop a wide view of the game as point guards. "Coach Howland puts a lot of trust in his point guard and I really think I will learn the best way to play the game," he said.Some day we will hear similar comments from future UCLA football rec...

By Barnes2JJ Bumped from the diaries. GO BRUINS. -N The forecast called for rain in the morning, but no one I know felt a drop.  It was another perfect day for football at the Rose Bowl.  You do have it lucky and every opposing fan I've spoken to this year agrees.

By Guest Blogger Here are some more examples.  Brian Ellerbe was hired as interim coach in the middle of the season by Michigan, when Steve Fisher was exposed for recruiting violations and other irregularities.  Michigan got hot, finished the Big 10 in third place, and went on to win the conference tournam...

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 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 Nestor Now that said I do believe it is worth noting the performance of the offensive line and our running game, given they didn't do much against the same Stanford team last season. From the Daily News:The Bruins ran the ball straight at Stanford - five consecutive times, in fact, for 30 yards - bef...

By Nestor Chris is a lethal weapon in the backfield. And I am sure his name is going to be on the radar of all the RBs and receivers who are getting ready to take on the Bruin defense this coming season. Chris is a warrior who is going to “bring it” every freaking play, targeting opposing players with the bal...

By Keltic Gator As UCLA continues to increase its profile expect it to have the same draw as USC does in football. They will become the dominant basketball power and have their pick of many of the athletes in the region.

By Laron Cue I had a chance to catch the UCLA Jazz Reggae Festival, on Sunday May 27, 2007.
