BN Podcast Doubleheader Open Thread, 6 pm PST and 7 pm PST

Just as was the case last week, tonight night will be a BruinsNation podcast night. The night will kick off at 6 pm PST when we'll have the football podcast and a bowl game podcast at that. UCLA is heading to the EagleBank Bowl in Washington DC, giving the East Coast Bruins their chance to check out Rick Neuheisel's team, but it won't be easy for the blue and gold. In addition to having to seal with the cold and wet conditions, the Bruins will face a tough Temple squad and this podcast will give you your first look at the Temple team that looms on the Bruins' schedule.We will take calls and any questions you want to submit in this open thread so check in and let us know your thoughts and questions.

After the football podcast, we'll dive into basketball with a 7 pm PST hoops podcast that will review last week's loss in the John Wooden Classic to Mississippi St. Calling it a loss wouldn't be fair though because the Bulldogs wiped the floor with the Bruins and with UCLA heading to South Bend to take on Notre Dame this weekend, we have a game preview as well. Things are tough for the Bruins so we'll take a look at what needs to get better going forward if the Bruins are to look at least respectable in a down Pac-10. As with the football podcast, we'll take calls and questions from this open thread.
