M. Water Polo. No. 1 USC Surges For 7-6 Win At UCLA

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 22:23:44 -0500

The No. 1 USC men's water polo team dug in and shut down crosstown rival UCLA in the final quarter of play while plugging in a pair of bigtime scores to serve up a 7-6 win over the No. 4 Bruins on Saturday night at UCLA's own Spieker Aquatics Center. Matthew Burton and Shea Buckner each delivered a pair of goals to help lead the Trojans, while UCLA's Scott Davidson plugged in four for the Bruins. UCLA may have been responsible for USC's lone loss on the year, but the Trojans h...

Cal at UCLA

Sat, 17 Oct 2009 11:11:34 -0500

No "O" in Bruins. UCLA has scored only one offensive touchdown while losing its last two games Can the Bruins break out against a Cal team that has been outscored 72-6 over its last two games? QB roulette. Kevin Prince was the starter at quarterback for the team's first two games. When he got hurt, senior Kevin Craft started the next two games. When Prince struggled last week in his return, freshman Richard Brehaut took the field. Prince will start today but there's no t...

Looking at the 1st Quarter of UCLA Offense

Sun, 20 Sep 2009 22:18:26 -0500

Bumped. GO BRUINS. -N Photo Credit: Telemachus No, not of the K-State game, I'm talking about this year. I'll go over each unit one by one, hopefully I look at all of the development correctly. Starting with the complete team Offense: Overall, this unit is about three times better than last year IMO. UCLA's different looks and base sets have become so much more complex, and the yardage in this last game reflected that improvement. Using the running game correctly was so ...

Ben Olson Goes Down; UCLA checks Rick Neuheisel's Eligibility

Mon, 11 Aug 2008 00:09:11 -0500

When Ben Olson went down Saturday during practice, there was one question on the minds of UCLA alumni - Does Rick Neuheisel have any eligibility left? Unfortunately for those alums, the quarterback that led the Bruins in the 80s can do nothing more than coach. He is the one, though, that has to find a way to get a new quarterback ready for the opening game versus the University of Tennessee.

Rick Neuheisel Rips Profanity-Laced USC Walk-on Recruiting Video

Sat, 10 May 2008 20:07:04 -0500

The video features Brennan Carroll, an assistant coach under his father Pete. Brennan Carroll proceeds to scream, yell, cuss, and crack his voice like he's 11 at recruits who are no doubt saying to themselves, "What gives this privileged and unaccomplished jackass the right to yell at me?" 3 other things stood out to me when watching this video: 1. I thought it was funny watching Brennan Carroll scream at the top of his lungs, "WORK! WORK! WORK!" when I'd bet the house that the dude hasn't worked a day in his friggin' life. 2. When Brennan Carroll's voice cracks, he's a steaming pile of sex. 3. I love how the end of the video states that out of 25 "perspective" walk-ons, 5 made the team. Yay for those special "perspective walk-ons" and the people that made this fine video. Hookd on Fonix obviously worked for them. Scott Wolf, the USC beat reporter for the Daily News, reports that Rick Neuheisel has been pushing this video on recruits as a way of ripping on USC.

Where will Kevin Love and Russell Westbrook go in the NBA Draft?

Wed, 30 Apr 2008 14:46:35 -0500

Alright, next time I hear someone say Russell Westbrook wasn't on any draft boards at the beginning of the season, I'm going to slap them. NBADraft.net figured out that Russel Westbrook was going to be a badass before everyone else apparently. They projected him to be a first round pick IN AUGUST. That's a few months before the season begins no? NBADraft.net is where I'll start looking at mock drafts, thank you very much. Here are the projections from NBADraft.net, DraftExpress.com, and NBAMock.com

The Worst "No-Call" of All-Time

The officiating in college basketball has gotten beyond ridiculous. From the foibles of Ed Hightower to this awful call in the UCLA-Texas A&M game.

Video: Jayshawn Augusto 11-Year-Old Multisport Superstar

Mon, 10 Mar 2008 18:47:16 -0500

The CBS Evening News ended their broadcast with a profile on 11-year-old Jayshawn Augusto. A 4'9" baller/track standout, who rarely misses a shot and can run a 4:40 mile, his aerobic metabolism is such that he hardly even sweats. Additionally, he's apparently pretty good in the classroom and seems to have his head on his shoulders. The 5th grader has even received ogling letters from UCLA. My money is that he can already take Lil Romeo. Hopefully he keeps the straight and n...

UCLA Hires "Slick Rick" Neuheisel

Sat, 29 Dec 2007 21:23:10 -0500

Any time a school can hire a high profile alumnus, it seems to work out well. The only question here is how much Neuheisel's baggage will prevent him from making UCLA competitve.
