A friend and I were having a discussion about Bruins working locally and nationally in the media. And, by this I mean in front of the camera. These are some of the names we came up with, although we're both sure there have to be many more.
Sean Farnham - Fox/Primeticket - Local to L.A.
Don McClean - Fox/Primeticket - Local to L.A.
Marques Johnson - Fox/Primeticket - Local to L.A.
Steve Hartman - KCBS - Local to L.A.
Steve Lavin - ESPN - National Audience (I know, I know!)
Who'd we miss? Feel free to name anybody you know!

Danny Farmer and James Washington
They do stuff for FSN football.
Terry Donahue used to do stuff for NFL Network, but I don’t recall seeing him on recently.
Seriously, Coach Howland’s predecessor should not be on that list.

Terry Donahue does opine for NFL Network.
Actually, I’m kicking myself for not listing him. I met him on (NFL Net) campus! Doh! And, come to think of it he occasionally calls games for ABC.

Yes, if he had been a student
I would have given you a pass. But just because he babysat (for lack of of better term, sorry I can’t use coach) UCLA basketball for seven seasons does not make you a Bruin.

I have one to add
I think Dick Enberg should qualify as an honorary Bruin based on his calling the b-ball games in the distant past. At that time, he was as much a part of Pauley as the students. He wasn’t a homer, either. Anyway, I make that nomination.

I keep misreading the title of the post
as Bruins in the mafia. Shame on me. We all know that headline is reserved for Trojies.
But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.
