Not sure if this has been posted before, but definitely worth taking advantage of.

The UCLA AD spoke to both Jon Gold and Ramona Shelburne immediately following the UCLA loss.

I mentioned this last night on the game thread, but I thought it was worth highlighting again. Only New Mexico is worse than us at this point. We just can't get off the field.

He has us finishing #2 in the South, but playing in the PAC-12 Championship game. Let's hope he's right.

So I guess I'll be checking out some Broncos games this year...

Not sure if I am late to the party on this, but it looks like the Morgan Center is attempting to be more open on the progress of Pauley construction. I'm sure the time-lapse feature will look pretty cool in a couple of months.

OFFICIAL UCLA RELEASE

I would like to take this opportunity to inform you that we will continue to have sideline floor seating for students at men's basketball games when Pauley Pavilion reopens for the 2012-13 season. You will occupy the floor level seats along the south sideline and floor level seats behind the west basket, which was originally announced in the summer of 2009, in addition to upper level seats behind the west basket.

This article basically proves what we have been discussing ad nauseum here on BN. When you add Malcolm Lee and Tyler Honeycutt to the list of early entries, UCLA only trails Kentucky and Memphis. Now what do Memphis and Kentucky have in common??

I'll bet an extra year of seasoning under Ben Howland would have prevented that demoralizing moment.

It's funny to hear the same reasoning for the last seat change being used for this one as well. Except last time we were trying to be like Cal, Stanford and Oregon. It's obvious what the Morgan Center is trying to do here. I wonder what the players think of the new arrangement?

Here's a video from SUC of Rocky Seto during practice. Try to ignore the fact that it's from USC.

UCLA's win against BYU is looking really good now.

Bruins Nation 15 days until National Signing Day

There is a little over two weeks remaining before National Signing Day and we still don't know who our DC, OC, and WR coaches will be. As of today, Chuck Bullough and Reggie Moore were fired exactly one month ago. I just wanted to point that out. This team has been on a downhill slide since the Oregon State win.

Even if CRN makes great hires, is this an acceptable situation for UCLA football?

To be honest, I don't remember the plays after that. I can't remember what plays we ran. That's why they kept me out, because I couldn't remember. It's scary.

I had to LOL at this. The guy predicted Texas to win 34-10. He was actually very close, but for the wrong team.

Apparently Willis told rivals.com that he was choosing UCLA. I'm not sure if this has been confirmed yet though.

"A contrite Havili (right) attributed the scuffle to being "all fired up" for a "high-intensity relay drill" supervised by team trainers: "It was the last workout of the (summer). Emotions were high. When emotions are high, intelligence is down. I let it get the best of me, and I feel bad about it." You should be able to purchase your commemorative "Intelligence Down" T-shirts at Bruins Nation by the end of the day. "

Final cuts were made for the US team and OJ Payo didn't make it. Congrats to RW and KL.

Tomorrow will mark the end of 10 business weeks since the U$C* hearings. Is it possible that the NCAA will delay the ruling past the initial time-frame they indicated? Not surprisingly, the OC Register is aware of this time-table. So what's going on?

WOW. Just WOW. He cleared the crossbar by about 3 feet. Coach Neuheisel told me that Kai wanted to try for the 65-yarder.

Otherwise, the game was a mess. I don't even know what happened to the offense.

"That’s by far my favorite victory," Gerhart says of the USC game. "We were up big at the end and hitting ‘em in the mouth – we ran 15 of the last 18 plays from the exact same formation, where we’d motion the tight end one way or the other and I’d run to that side. At one point one of their linebackers yelled, ‘If you guys run ‘Power’ one more time I’m walking off the field.’ It was classic."

Bruins Nation Blast From the Past (ed. 1)-- The Ever Elusive College Football Playoff

A recent post by CafeLA has inspired me to begin a new feature here on BN about UCLA and college sports history. Each edition, I will dig up an interesting article from the Google News archives as a kind of "blast from the past". I think it is important that we know more about UCLA and college sports history, and these old newspaper articles are an excellent tool to aid us in that quest. I hope that some members here will have much to say about the topics we look at from week to week.

The Division I College Football Playoff (aka December Derangement).

Sounds nice doesn't it? On the heels of another thrilling Final Four I began to wonder--"wait...why can't this happen in football?". Although a 96-team football tournament will never happen (that's almost all of Division I), there's no reason to assume that and eight or even four team playoff isn't feasible. There are countless articles written about better ways to find a champion. Division I-AA has a playoff system that has worked for decades. So that got me wondering... How long have Division I college football fans been clamoring for a playoff?

The answer after the jump...
