UCLA Baseball Adds A New Assistant Coach: Rex Peters
The last we heard from the UCLA Baseball program, Bruin assistant coach Rick Vanderhook had left Westwood to become the head coach at Cal State Fullerton. Rick did a great job in his 3 years with the Bruins in the role of hitting and outfield coach, as well as in his previous two-plus decades as...
Bruin Bites: Faldermeyer Shines, ATV on the Rivalry, Barry Sanders Jr. Still Undecided, and Joe Ross to San Diego?
It's been a busy week around Bruins Nation since we last checked in for the bi-weekly Bruin Bites: DCBruins broke down the "UCLA factor" and how it played into the NBA Draft and our Bruins' performance on the next level, but unfortunately, it didn't seem to help either Tyler Honeycutt or Malcolm...
Bruin Bites: Basketball Notes, Football Players Give Back, and a Pair of Amazing Incoming Freshmen,
It's been an interesting last few days: the BCS finally pulled the trigger and stripped the Southern Cal Cheaters of their tainted 2004-05 BCS national title, as well as vacating their participation in Texas' spectacular win over U$C in the 2005-06 title game. Ben Howland hired a new assistant...
UCLA Baseball Regional v. UC Irvine Gameday Thread
Earlier this afternoon, the Bruins eliminated the USF Dons, in large part due to an outstanding pitching performance from sensational freshman Adam Plutko. Plutko, making his first college post-season start, did not disappoint, throwing a one-hit gem for 7.2 innings, with 6 strikeouts and just 2...
Dan Guerrero’s Incompetent Leadership: UCLA Men Headed Towards Another Title-Less Season
The UCLA men's athletics program has won only 1 national championship for 5 years. Think about that for a minute. Our most recent national championship from men's side came courtesy of the golf program in 2008. The volleyball team won in 2006. Other than Dan Guerrero has nothing to show for on the...
#SFatPauley -Dan Guerrero Returns Home to his Burning House
I hope Dan Guerrero had a nice weekend. I hear he got to spend some time in Houston, where the Men's Basketball Championship was being played. No, U.C.L.A. wasn't in it, but he took the time to make the trip anyway. He probably got to rub elbows with some of his favorite bigwigs from the NCAA. ...
After Great Regular Season, Savage Turns Attention To Postseason
"We're trying to get all the bullets in the gun." That's what guides UCLA's preparation for this weekend's Los Angeles Regional said Bruin head coach John Savage. With a difficult Regional on tap and high expectations as the number six national seed, UCLA has to make sure the week counts so they...
[Updated] Rivals & Baseball America's New Number 1: UCLA Bruins
Ryan mentioned how big the series win was for our Bruins up in Corvallis. The weekend series win was even more dramatic considering how during at various points of Saturday's classic 16 innings game, it looked like Oregon State was going to pull out a clutch win. Yet somehow our guys hung in there...
Coach Savage Dishes On Keys To UCLA's Hot Start

News and Notes From John Savage at SoCal College Baseball Media Day
If you were following along with my running commentary thread, you got a taste of what Easton's SoCal College Baseball Media Day was like. There was coaches cooking, which was amusing at first, then grew a little tiresome by the end, but it was fun nonetheless. The event provided the media members...
