Bruin Shining Moments - Tourney Day Thread

Not that I am superstitious or anything  - I am going to put up a similar post I put up last Thursday afternoon.  Yes, note the countdown clock above. Less than 9 hours to go. As usual, for good karma it never hurts to check out this video clip over and over again (I have lost count on how many times I have seen those 4.8 seconds). Let's hope AA and the boys can generate more of this kind of shining moment starting today:

You can check the LIVE CBS Sportsline scoreboard of all other games here.

By the way where is everyone watching the game?  If you live in the town I live in (initials of this star) you can come out and watch the game here with tons of other UCLA alums.  The Ugly (Mug) is a great bar. How about you? Where are you watching the game? Post the 411 on this thread - that way we can perhaps have get togethers over good beers generating 8 Claps from coast-to-coast.

This is our tournament/gameday afternoon thread.

GO BRUINS.

Time Out
I thought the UCLA fans in NYC all went to Time Out.  I don't remember the exact address (around the 72nd and Amsterdam?).  I have watched a few games with UCLA fans there, and they have a really good Penne a la Vodka.

UCLA Fans in Houston, TX??
At the mercy of regional coverage...UCLA will not air on CBS in Houston b/c of the UT vs WVU game.  Are there any Bruin fans congregating to cheer against Morrison and the Zags tonight?  Where?

I'm in Dallas
but I have been to a few good sports bars in Houston: Fox and Hound on Westheimer, FoxSports Grill in the Galleria, and there was another one really close to the Galleria that was pretty good too, but I forget the name.

Austin, TX
I'll be at Ringers on Colorado watching the Bruins, UT, and LSU win

by avan on Mar 23, 2006 10:47 AM PST reply actions  

I'll be at the game...
in Oaktown with my "Moute Kicks Boute" shirt. Should be a home-court atmosphere for our Bruins, much like the Bama game.

I wonder if the Den will have any good chants for the "stache". "Shave that mustache" is a little played out.

GO BRUINS!!

San Diego
Any Bruins congregating in San Diego?

GO BRUINS!!! BEAT GONZAGA!!!

by bruinzete on Mar 23, 2006 11:01 AM PST reply actions  

From the San Diego Alumni Club
Thursday, March 23rd, 7:00 p.m. - Basketball viewing at La Jolla Brew Pub, 7536 Fay Ave., downtown La Jolla.

Join with fellow Bruins as cheer on the Bruins as they take on Gonzaga in the Sweet Sixteen.

The La Jolla Brew Pub will likely be our "sports bar" for fall football so come and check out the Brew House and their big screen and multiple others TVs as well.

Here the LINK

San Jose?
I'm in San Jose and can't get an Oakland tik . . . new here and would love to know where local bruins are going tonight!

by charnaw on Mar 23, 2006 11:27 AM PST reply actions  

Good luck
I grew up in San Jose...it is worthless. :)

I haven't been there often, but the best place I can think of is Santana Row.

Have you checked?
craigslist for last minute tickets. you could probably score a ticket for around $85-$150, depending on the location of the seat. I got some upper reserves for $75 each. Worth a look.

What a waste of a day
Is it just me or are you guys unproductive at work too?

by bruinzete on Mar 23, 2006 11:36 AM PST reply actions  

I consider this...
To be far more productive than any other "work? I might be doing. =P

by Underbruin on Mar 23, 2006 11:38 AM PST up reply actions  

Right on
Relatively, I'm as productive today as any other.

Where I'm watching
Posted this in the "Let's go..." thread on accident, my bad, but here's what it said:

"At the Fox Sports Grill at the Irvine Spectrum in Orange County with a bunch of friends. My UCLA friends all have finals, we'll be watching together Saturday if we get to the Elite 8."

by bruinmike88 on Mar 23, 2006 11:37 AM PST reply actions  

If only...
I'd love to come out to the Ugly Mug, but with the late game time there's very little chance I could get back (I'm in Maryland, would have to take the MARC train to get into DC...)

Have a good time, guys, and don't forget those 8-claps. :)

by Underbruin on Mar 23, 2006 11:37 AM PST reply actions  

Well ...
lets keep our fingers crossed. Perhaps we will get to see you on Saturday. GO BRUINS.

by Nestor on Mar 23, 2006 11:40 AM PST up reply actions  

We'll see...
If I can find a car to borrow I'll be there, I can tell you that much.

Mark Few and Indiana
Can anyone provide more information on this matter? I'm hearing Indiana wants to talk to Mark Few about their head coach vacancy but Few is mum on the subject. If this story blows, it could be a distraction for the Zags tonight.

by bruinzete on Mar 23, 2006 1:17 PM PST reply actions  

Do it
Someone needs to go to Oakland and start spreading that rumor around the crowd, so that by the time tip-off rolls around, the players are hearing it.

Have seen the story ...
on some IU message boards and Zag boards are talking about it. So something may be cooking.

May be you should write something up and put in a new diary?

by bluestreet on Mar 23, 2006 1:37 PM PST up reply actions  

IU message boards
Well, although I do think these rumors may have some bite, IU message boards are also known to have promoted the idea that Ben Howland will go to Indiana, showing how sheer desparation has led to clear mental illness.

by stevenucla on Mar 23, 2006 2:55 PM PST up reply actions  

Yeah...
I also heard that Howland is considering the head coach positions with CSU Monterey and EA Sports.

by Ajax on Mar 23, 2006 3:46 PM PST up reply actions  

Funny, but seriously . . .
how long will he stay before he Larry Browns it and goes to the NBA?

by charnaw on Mar 23, 2006 4:20 PM PST up reply actions  

I Could See Him......
Follow Phil Jackson when he leaves the Lakers. Clearly Kobe would be a great fit in the Howland system. But we'd get him for at least another few more years at UCLA.

by alcor805 on Mar 23, 2006 4:56 PM PST up reply actions  

Howland is not going to the NBA
He would not waste his time with the Lakers and over-rated NBA (and I am an old school Lakers fan).

by Nestor on Mar 24, 2006 6:28 AM PST up reply actions  

Pro players
are too bull-headed to listen to a coach who preaches defense first (well, except maybe the Pistons the last few years, but look how rare they are).  Plus, good college coaches don't usually do well in the pros.  I'm sure the NBA is not even on Howland's mind.  I think it would be a mistake if he ever even thought about it.

by uclawarren on Mar 24, 2006 7:58 AM PST up reply actions  

Perhaps we can...
start an "In-Di-Ana" chant during the game? Anyone know a member of the Bruin "Den"?

GO BRUINS!!

by norcalbruin95 on Mar 23, 2006 1:40 PM PST reply actions  

Hmm...
Say, Nestor - are you guys going to be at the Ugly Mug for the Memphis-Bradley game? I could try just coming down and meeting the DC Bruins crowd...
