Bruin Bites: Howland's Toast and Chianti Dan Must Go Edition
It's Sunday evening, which sadly means a return to work tomorrow, which be exacerbated by the Niners' heart-breaking loss to Eli Manning's Giants in OT (BTW, thanks for blowing it Kyle Williams). Fortunately, the return to work also means we're as far away from Ben Howland's dumpster fire brand of...
Bruin Bites: Dashon Hunt Profile, Matt Carlino's Debut, Nirra Fields Eligible, Coaches' Poll a Joke?
It's the last Sunday before Christmas (next Sunday) and Hanukkah (this upcoming Tuesday), so if you're done shopping, congratulations. If not, well then, perhaps you should be instead of reading this. But in any event, for those of you enjoying the quiet, sunny (but cold, at least by our...
Bruin Bites: No Rest Until Chianti Dan is Fired Edition
Jim Mora is our coach. I'm not sure what more I can say that hasn't been said: that Mora is woefully unqualified, a man with a losing record in the NFL, and zero experience coaching college football, a game which while the same in name, is worlds apart from the professional game. He's a coach who...
Bruin Bites: Women's Hoops Recruit Ineligible, Ex-Howland All-Stars, and Rick to Kansas?
It's been a crazy week, with Rick officially out, and UCLA once again looking for a football head coach (although with Chianti Dan still at the helm, I suppose I'm not surprised I feel apprehensive about how this will turn out). There's rumors flying everywhere, rampant Chris Petersen speculation,...
Remembering UCLA Legend Walt Hazzard, 1942-2011
"It's a lot right here. Lot of heart. Lot of courage." - Bruin Legend Walt HazzardThe U.C.L.A. family lost a legend last week when former player and coach Walt Hazzard passed away last Friday following a long illness following heart surgery. He was 69. He is survived by his wife Jaleesa, and...
UCLA Basketball Is A Mess; Can They Turn It Around?
Reeves Nelson potentially gone, and two double digit losses to middling mid-majors. This has to be bottom of the barrel for the UCLA Bruins. It has to be. This can't keep up, can it? UCLA looked bad against Loyola Marymount. They looked even worse against the Middle Tennessee St. Blue Raiders,...
Bruin Bites: Embree Family Battle, Prince Will Start, and Captain Carlos Hits the Century Mark
Ahh yes, it's another Wednesday, which means another half-way point to the weekend and another chance for Rick's squad to lose to an inferior team in embarrassing fashion. Not that Rick has a monopoly on embarrassing UCLA, as Ben Howland's total clown show has gotten off to a pathetic start,...
Bruin Bites: Ben Howland Q&A, Sydney Leroux Profile, and $2 Million for UCLA Neurosurgery
It's Wednesday afternoon, which once again means it's time for the mid-week edition of Bruin Bites. However, this week is a bit different, as Rick Neuheisel and our Bruins take on the Arizona Mildcats Wildcats in a nationally televised game on ESPN tomorrow night. So, rather than having to wait...
Bruin Bites: Mike Leach Job Watch, Morgan Breslin Profile, Mike Moser is Mad, Alyssia Brewer a Bruin, and UCLA Joins Cooking and Science
It's been relatively quiet at BN this weekend, with our Bruins taking the weekend off before getting ready to take on the Arizona Mildcats Wildcats in their first game following Mike Stoops' firing. Instead we saw some other Pac-12 action, the main event being last night's shoot out in Eugene,...
Bruin Bites: Kenny Washington Honored, Ryan Bailey Coaching, Metro to Westwood, and Other Notes
It's Sunday and we get to end this weekend following a Bruin victory over Washington State. Yes, it wasn't pretty, and if anything, the lackluster display against the perennial conference doormat raises even more questions about how long Rick will last in Westwood (have we offered the job to Urban...
