Bruin Bites: Cougars Stick With Lobbestael, Coach K Makes Another Run at Tony Parker, Datone Jones Profile

Will the Joy Stick finally get the chance to break loose against Washington State?

It's Wednesday, which means we're once again halfway to the weekend and another game for our UCLA Bruins, with this weekend's opponent, being Paul Wulff's Washington State Cougars. Rick will head back to the Rose Bowl, facing an improved Cougars squad in a must-win game if he is to maintain any hope of salvaging this season and meeting the reasonable expectations of the entire Bruin Nation.

With that, let's turn to the bits and pieces of news from around the UCLA-iverse:

Star-divide

With that, those are your Bruin Bites for the middle of the week.  Two more days until UCLA football makes a return and Rick gets at it in an absolute must-win game at home.  Fire away with your thoughts, comments, and additional bits and pieces of news from around the UCLA-iverse in the comment thread.

The thing about turning a corner

is that, when you do it four times, you’re right back where you started.

Coach K fears the UCLA Factor?

This would be huge for us to get a guy he is after. I hate the school, but respect the man. Here’s to hoping we land Tony Parker.

huge respect for Coach K, he also has a knack for keeping players in school…perhaps he sees Tony Parker as one of those guys? Here’s hoping he can be…for us!

Pro pedigree

CBH can use the fact UCLA Factor to Dukes…college factor? Although Duke has a great deal of success in winning in college, maybe the success our guys have in the pros will win him over.

More on Bruin academic excellence

Here’s a heads up … just saw new rankings from The Times (of England variety)…

… and the Bruins are well represented (ranked 13th; 10th overall in the U.S.), as is the PAC-12 (and Big10).

oh, btw, U S C ?….. ranked 55th. For more on this AND the link to the website for overall ranking, go to FanPosts, in case you didn’t know, the tab at the top of the page that brings you to ALL the posts from Bruin fans!

Your fanpost was erased

Because there was already a fanshot on the topic.

yep

yep, saw that a little later…. after my post. Not a problem, just trying to promote more fans going to the fanspost section.

Also, too excited about passing on the good news for the Bruins. :)
