U.C.L.A. vs. Oregon Pregame Open Thread
Remember back in August and we were considering the long term outlook for the season, and we noted that we had an advantage by not playing Oregon this year? Then some wise folks noted that we still had a chance to face Oregon in the Pac-12 Championship game. How hopeful and promising that thought...
The Morning After, Part 10: Utah
Utah. Not my favorite state. The Beehive State has been my nemesis since childhood. Growing up, my family drove from our home in Lancaster to Dillon, Colorado to visit my grandparents for vacations. We'd do this twice a year usually, once over spring break and then again toward the end of...
The Morning After, Part 7: Arizona
The sun did, in fact, come up today, just in case any of you in the Pacific NW are wondering. Of course, it's always sunny here in Colorado, but it's even sunnier than usual today. And that is fitting because I feel a huge sense of relief today. Before the game last night, I wrote this to the BN...
The "Eye Test": Bruins GPA Not Ready For A Difficult Test
My kids go to a local public elementary school and they are in an advanced curriculum classroom because they are really pretty bright. But every 3 months or so they'll come home with a test that has a big red 37%, or some other small number, circled in red. After I unclench my teeth and resign...

Coach Neuheisel spoke with the media yesterday, going over the remains of the San Jose State game and looking at the team's status...
The Morning After, Part 2: San Jose St
My very first class and one of my overall favorites at U.C.L.A. was Psych 10 with Dr. Carlos Grijalva. I hope he's still there, as he was a great teacher, and when I later worked a grad student in his lab, I found him to be a really good person, too. Anyway, one of my favorite concepts from his...
Spaulding Roundup: Kevin, Coaches, Kip, and Captains
We're getting close, everyone. It was a relatively quiet day in Westwood on Thursday. With the season opener in Houston just two days away, the Bruins took care of a few final odds and ends with another light practice in shells as they finalized their preparations for the Cougars. The offensive...
