Bruins Nation, a UCLA Bruins community

A new tradition for UCLA football. Seniors celebrate end of 2010 spring camp by taking on the role of coaches, before the team took part in a Super Shot competition in Pauley Pavilion. Really cool stuff.

I have posted this video once already but reposting it against to offer up yet another reminder of 2010 spring game. If you want to get a sense of how jacked up players are this check out the FaceBook pages created by Dalton Hilliard and Jayson Allmond. More details over at the official site (also linked up on the rebumped fanpost on the mainpage). Might be worth recommending this fanshot up so that info is easily retrievable from here all week. GO BRUINS.

Redshirt freshman FB Jayson Allmond talks about how he has transitioned into college life at UCLA. Allmond mentions how he has been getting some reps at RB (presumably out of the new Revolver offense) which is interesting. GO BRUINS.

Here are Coach Rick Neuheisel's comments following Friday's practice. Bruins are off till tomorrow (when they will have a scrimmage). CRN was once again seems pretty pleased with the intensity from his latest practice. GO BRUINS.

Here are Rick Neuheisel’s comments after day 5 of UCLA’s spring practice. Re. the injury to Josh Smith (PCL tear) CRN said Josh is "fine" and a decision needs to be made "as to whether or not to have surgery." According to Neuheisel, "it’s the PCL, which normally isn’t surgery – it’s just a rehab, and it’s a brace, and it scars down and you’re ready to go." As he added UCLA does "have the luxury of time. It’s just unfortunate that he missed a better part of spring practice.’’ CRN also described the Chandler at DT as "great experiment this far." Jope Josh and Nik (Abele) hang in there. We are rooting for them to come back stronger and healthy in due time. GO BRUINS.

First year Bruin RB/WR Damien Thigpen talks about his 1st year away at college, spring camp, and going to school across the country from Virginia. Don't miss home too much Damien. It was freaking 90 degrees out there today while absolutely beautiful and gorgeous out in West LA. GO BRUINS.

Kevin Prince talks with tWWL's Blair Angulo about "adding some bulk, his offseason workouts, the health of his shoulder, what he thinks Spring Practice is about, how many wins make for an ideal season and UCLA's "jump the wall" tradition." GO BRUINS.

CRN's comments and some highlights from first day of UCLA's spring practice.

Wrapping up the winter workout series with a look at the offseason for Offensive Lineman, Jeff Baca. The video gives us a look at how Baca has been hitting the weight room while also taking a leadership role in the team. Great work by Morgan Center in putting together these videos. Way to keep the team in touch with rest of Bruin Nation. GO BRUINS.
