He completes seven of 11 passes and displays elusiveness during a 24-play stretch with the first-team offense.

I'm Shabazz Muhammad. Do I go to UCLA and give Ben Howland a chance to eff with my mind (and possibly my game)? Or do I hang with an NBA-friendly player's coach who'll spotlight me for a season, let me play my game, and get me guaranteed coverage in March. I'm already a lock. Why risk it with a loser program. Or... (see alternative take)...

Guess we'll see Fish's next move next.

Bruins ex-Bruins lightin it up! Whoo-hoo! Folk would drive to Sports Arena to see this kinda show. No doubt about it.

Attention, Joshua Smith (I know you read this blog)... Perkins looks like a different player. Says he now has hops. Very nice Before and After pics. Very inspirational!

1) A quarterback.
1a) A coach who can get a quarterback.
Interesting. TD says this is what we need... among other things.
Curiously, Donahue doesn't mention Bret Hundley by name... nor does the author ask specifically about Hundley. I've now got some concern about Hundley (not just from this interview, but I'm concerned that BH was brought in for The Pistol. Clearly, he can run. How's his arm? Really? I don't recall anyone calling Hundley a gunslinger. Sound off, Bruins!

Dr. Winston C. Doby. A great, great Bruin. Student. Track team. Staff. Administrator. Vice Chancellor (#3 to Chancellor Young, during my tenure). Lover of all things UCLA, especially, Track, Basketball, Football. Super-duper inspirational. Every bit as refined and stand-up as John Wooden. Daily Bruin has the write up here. I was honored to know Winston on a personal level. All the best to his family.

Nelson is all but assured to be suspended for Tuesday's game against Middle Tennessee State and Nelson's future with the team would depend on how he takes that news, the source said. He could quit or be kicked off the team, but "that would be an extreme situation" the source said.

Guys, guys... please... stop playing so hard in practice! Getting hurt in the men's gym does nothing for us. Save it for game-time swatting and windmill slams. Get well soon, TW.

LOS ANGELES (AP)—UCLA sophomore center Anthony Stover and junior guard De’End Parker both sustained concussions in preseason basketball practice.

A team spokesman said Monday that Stover was hurt during a drill in practice a week ago, while Parker was hurt during Saturday’s intrasquad scrimmage when a teammate inadvertently elbowed him in the head.

Stover is expected to return to practice this week, while Parker will miss the rest of the week and is being monitored daily.

Lav's got the beginnings of a heart-warming movie going on in Manhattan. Resurrected Coach laid up in the hospital, recoverying from cancer surgery... Back at the school, Open Tryouts for 5-6 students to fill-in in the Varsity Squad in Coache's second season, as incoming freshmen declared academically ineligible... grueling try-outs with assorted Basic Training Type You-Fail-You're-Out competition... the students who make it are (a) a 26 year old Freshman, fresh from fightint in Iraq, former baller... (b) a hodge podge of other ballers who kinda landed at St Johns for their own reasons... dang, man... Right Up Steve Lavin's Alley! I'm looking for Lav's recovery, and a Final Four birth. Man-o-man.

Get well soon, Bre.

Should be a really good season for Bruins Basketball. Whoo-hoo!

Prayers, warm thoughts, well-wishing for our former UCLA Head Baskeball Coach.

Schools committed to winning, absolutely do not tolerate losing. "If you have a scholarship with us, it's because you're a baller... now get in there and help us win!" Attention Rick Neuheisel. (I'm not just talking about the quarterback position).

I'm not sure if Bill Plaschke articles are welcomed here or not... but I found the following quote at the end of the article most interesting: "Neuheisel's only other hope is that UCLA Chancellor Gene Block doesn't allow him to be fired because it would require buying out of the final year of his $1.25-million-a-year contract — plus buyouts for some of his coaches — and that wouldn't look good for a school system in deep economic trouble."

Football: 3 less scholies, less hitting practices during Spring Ball, no loss of victories, no loss of bowl eligibility. Bigger penalties for their Women's Tennis, Track & Field.

Sounds like we should be drawing up all manner of blitzes! Whoo -hoo!
