Printhicalliber is already on it but this deserves lot more attention. This is not a surprise but still worthy of a huge celebration on Bruin Nation. Here is our Pac-10 Defensive Player:
The official announcement came out earlier this afternoon which included lot of good news for the football team. Not only Brian Price was named Pac-10's Defense POY, he was part of a group of 11 Bruins named in the All Pac-10 team. Five of them were first-team selection:
UCLA junior defensive tackle Brian Price has been named Pac-10 Pat Tillman Defensive Player of the Year by vote of the league's coaches, it was announced today.
A total of 11 Bruins were named to the All-Pac-10 teams. Joining Price on the first team were senior linebacker Reggie Carter, sophomore safety Rahim Moore, senior cornerback Alterraun Verner and junior place kicker Kai Forbath. Forbath and Price were two of the three unanimous selections to the first team.
Redshirt freshman punter Jeff Locke and senior wide receiver Terrence Austin were selected to the second team, the latter as a kickoff returner. Four Bruins were named honorable mention - sophomore linebacker Akeem Ayers, senior linebacker Kyle Bosworth, sophomore wide receiver Nelson Rosario and freshman offensive tackle Xavier Su'a-Filo.
UCLA had more first-team defensive selections (four) than any other school in the conference.
You can read more from the official press release here.
Congrats to Brian, Reggie, ATV, Austin, and Bosworth. That's a wonderful way for them to leave Westwood after what they have given us last 3-4 years. We will have to wait to see what happens with Kai, as he might be testing the waters during the off season. Meanwhile, can't wait to see how Rahim, Akeem, Nelson, XSF, and Locke build on the success from this season.
For now though let's hope the Midshipmen comes though on Saturday so that we get to see these guys for one more time to close out the year. Go Navy. Oh and don't forget to congratulate our boys in this celebratory thread.
GO BRUINS.

He is gone
That’s how I will approach it on the home page. You might want to hold on to same kind of delusional hope as those who were hoping for KL’s second year in Westwood, but I am not going to have any part of this.
Brian Price is done at UCLA unless we get a bowl game. You might not want to hear that but whenever I mention him I am going to assume he is gone unless something dramatic happens (something as probably as Tiger Wood’s mistresses turning out to be actresses paid off by Lefty Mickelson) in next few weeks.
Meh,
He might want to be 1st pick right? Suh would go first, but he has more than enough reasons to go… at least he ended up in the right uniform.
Back in business
Awesome
Congrats to Price and his teammates. I am stoked he got DPOY – he definitely deserved it but didn’t have as much hype going into the season as another defensive player in Los Angeles.

Dear Brian
First of all, congratulations – you weren’t just the Pac-10 DPOY; you were so far ahead of the rest of the conference, it’s silly. You’re destined for incredible things on Sundays.
That having been said, why not enjoy one more year of tearing it up in your hometown? There’s a very unfortunate likelihood that you’re going to be living someplace where it snows in the not too distant future. Why not postpone it – be a kid for one more year before adulthood beckons?
Do it, and you’ll have a couple extras on your Bruin resume that you’ll always look back on very fondly, namely your final two games: a completely insane senior day that ends with you carrying a handful of red and yellow pelts and a Rose Bowl championship.
With total fondness and respect,
The Nation
I know, Nestor – I don’t think it’ll work either. It’s totally true, however.
Louisiana born, California grown - bleed Blue and Gold, with a healthy dose of Purple mixed in.

Congrats Brian
Really think we could crank up the Heisman campaign for you next season!
Go Middies!
BP gave me one of the best images ever
That of him kicking the U$C recruiter out of his house for showing up with a limo.
He was a Bruin from the start and will be one forever.
There is no wrong decision for you and I’ll look forward to watching you on Saturdays or Sundays!
But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.
Congrats guys!
It was a tough season, but you fought all the way to the end. I’m with you guys all the way! Looking forward to rooting for some of you guys next year! Go Bruins!
Pure Joy !
I hope you players got as much joy from playing as I did watching you play. Win or lose it is great to follow a team with a lot of heart ! Congratulations and Thanks ! Go Navy ! Go Bruins !
