Written 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.

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.

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.

Opinion: A Warning To UCLA Athletics & Neuheisel/Howland: Be Careful

15 May 2009 05:24:53 PDT

Written 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...

Opinion: UCLA Begins Pac 10 Play With A Trip To USC

20 Mar 2009 12:27:27 PDT

Written 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...

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.

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.

Opinion: Pregame Guesses: Cal

Written 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?

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...

Opinion: The Howland Era Revisited

21 Jan 2008 16:34:33 PST

Written 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...

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...

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...

10 Dec 2007 16:57:47 PST

Written 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...

Written 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...

Opinion: "Safety U"?- The Return of Our Lethal Weapons

22 Aug 2007 16:29:59 PDT

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...
