Bruins Nation, a UCLA Bruins community

Excellent work done by former UCLA students in honor of Coach Wooden. A lot to check out, but a must view for all members of the Bruin nation. You will never be forgotten Coach, happy 100th Birthday!!!

This is an excellent recap of today's memorial for Coach. The humor that all the speakers spoke of today is just another example of how Coach lived a balanced life. We all miss you Coach, but are happy that you are finally with your beloved.

Prime Ticket will be reshowing the 90-minute special from two years ago at the request of Vin Scully's wife, Sandy. The special is scheduled to be shown Monday night following the Dodgers postgame show, "Dodgers Live". There will also be a 30 minute presentation of "The Life and Times of John Wooden", narrated by Dick Enberg, following Scully & Wooden.

Did you know Coach's favorite sport was NOT basketball? And that he is credited with achieving one of golf's rarest feats? LAT isn't good for much, but this is a great read!!

Did you know a young John Wooden helped build a Big 12 football stadium?

The voice is weaker and the body more frail, but the spirit and heart of the man grow stronger each day. Enjoy.

Seth Davis recently made the trek to the SFV to visit Coach for an SI.com piece. A good read, showing Coach being himself, if showing his age more than Davis recalls from his last meeting with him in 2006.

Typical MSM bitterness against the most successful program in College Basketball.

ESPN did a feature on the 4 greatest sports figures from each state.
