Illinois AD Officially Has Higher Standards than UCLA AD
Attention, Dan Guerrero: this is how a real Athletic Director does it. An article on the ESPN Chicago website discussed Illinois AD Mike Thomas and his refusal this week to publicly give a vote of confidence to his men's basketball coach, Bruce Weber. You know what that likely means for Weber. It...

Tim Tebow, the Denver Broncos, and the U.C.L.A. Bruins: The Joy (and importance) of Sports
I was there last Sunday. Tim Tebow Highlights 2011 2012 Broncos DEMARYIUS THOMAS (via stumpshus) Perhaps some of you saw the highlights of this game. Maybe some of you have even heard of this Tim Tebow guy. As with the BCS game, I thought maybe Tebow wasn't being adequately covered in...
Bruin Bites: Chianti Dan's Shockingly Clueless, Delusional, and Tone-Deaf Comments Edition
Originally, I was going to write a more-or-less standard Bruin Bites post today. Wish everyone on BN a happy new year, throw in a few cliches about how with a new year comes the promise that 2012 won't be a painful embarrassment to UCLA fans like this past year has been under Chianti Dan's...
Clueless Dan Guerrero and His Coaching Hire are Mocked Around the Country
First things first, I will support our student-athletes every day of the week. This isn't on them. I will root for Coach Mora to succeed. I understand his desire to take the job and compete. Also, if someone offered me $12 mil for a job, even if I knew I couldn't do it well, I'd still sign and...

UCLA Coaching Hot Stove: Rumors of a Jim Tressel Sellout In The Lull
So yesterday was a brief lull in the storm for U.C.L.A. football. Things were quiet around Spaulding with the players having this week off to concentrate on finals before resuming practice and preparations next week for the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl on December 31. Things were quiet from a news...
How Not to Hire UCLA Football's Next Coach (or, Chianti Dan's Criteria)
Chianti Dan seems intent on bungling this coaching search worse than any other athletic director in the country. What are Chianti Dan's criteria for hiring the coach? What is Chianti Dan's process? No one knows for sure, except maybe his sommelier, but he appears to be focusing on NFL experience at...
UCLA Coaching Hot Stove: No to Bellotti and No to Johnson
Chianti Dan Guerrero continues to mismanage every aspect of this coaching search. As N updated today, Miami head coach Al Golden is no longer a candidate for the U.C.L.A. head coaching job. Yet another colossal blunder by Guerrero. Our chances of landing Golden would have been great a few weeks...
The Morning After, Part 13: Oregon
If you had told me at the beginning of the season we'd be playing Oregon for the Pac-12 Title and a trip to the Rose Bowl, I'd have been thrilled. I guess the path is as important as the destination, though, because this morning feels like relief, and resignation. Mike Johnson will assume the...
