Spaulding Roundup: Early Thoughts On Expectations For 2009 Season

So apparently there was an eathquake in LA last night. It was around 4.7. At least from the reports sound like it was a standard So Cal rattler. Nevertheless hope everyone is doing all right if you were impacted by it. We will start the Monday with few clips regarding the expectations around our...

Spaulding Roundup: A November To Remember?

Those of you who have been visiting this little corner of the internets every day know full well how we have been realistic about our expectations re. this season for months. We knew given the schedule we had this year and the program CRN inherited from the previous regime, this was going to be a...

Spaulding Roundup: Peace Of Mind

Thanks to Telemachus, Tydides, Achilles, and others for holding down the fort for last few days. I am traveling today as I will get back into swing of things with regular roundups and updates tomorrow. I didn’t get to watch the game last weekend. However, from what I have read it...

Dealing With Reality: Bouncing Back With Basics

So where to pick up the day after? All off season we had been mentally preparing ourselves for a very tough season during Rick Neuheisel’s first year at UCLA. There were a number of outsiders who mocked those pre-season projections asserting that somehow we were low balling the expectations...

Filling Up The Passion Buckets: Gameday News & Notes

Finally. It’s game day. We have been counting down to this day since the very moment our Ben Ball season ended in San Antonio. I am sure many of you are already busy getting your tail-gaiting gear all packed up. We will have our BN game thread up about an hour before kickoff (5 pm PST) and a...

Coming Home

Today is apparently WWL’s Pac-10 preview day (at least in the online section of their college football page). And the headliner happens to be none other than CRN. You can already see WWL's Ivan Maisel's sit down with CRN below. In addition to that interview Maisel has written up (yet...

Impact

So it looks like the local concern trolling panic that swept through LA’s traditional media following Ben Olson’s injury has gone national. Yesterday Ted Miller from WWL pointed to Ben Olson’s latest injury as the "biggest impact item of Pac-10 preseason camp": At the start of...

Spaulding Roundup: We Are Going To Be Allright

So on the second day after Ben Olson went down at Spaulding the Bruins had a sluggish day on offense (or a dominating one on defense from another pov). The sloppy offensive performance (to start the Monday of second week of Fall practice) led to Neuheisel making a comment about being...

Roundup From BN Walk: Football News & Notes

Let’s start our walk with an extensive fall camp preview of our offense by Tracy Pierson at Bruin Report Online. The post is not behind the BRO subscription firewall. So take a look. Pierson offers a sobering perspective: UCLA has decent talent on its roster –everywhere but on the...

Roundup From BN Walk: Football News & Notes

Let’s start our walk with where we left off in our last post: our non conference opponent(s) for this upcoming season. It all begins with Tennessee of course, but Ted Miller from WWL reminds us that the Volunteers are not the only difficult non conference opponent dotting our schedule this...
