just read in the register that espn will televise the rose bowl in 2011. this now gives them the rights to all the major bowls. they also radio broadcast the suc games. is it really to much of a stretch to think of what influence they will now have on schedules, game times,bowl match ups and such? also, could they put pressure on the ncaa about sucs penalties concerning the probe of their football team? espn would not want to lose a sure ratings bringer like the suck ass trojans. whoops, a little vent there. seriously, this does concern me. any thoughts?

Bumped. GO BRUINS. -N

Just wanted to tell a quick story.

My 3 brothers and 3 sisters and I were all raised UCLA fans and suc haters. While none of us had the grades to attend this greatest of all schools, we all would attend football and basketball games when we could.

This was especially true for my oldest sister, Timson Dawn Marie. Nearly 2 years ago she found out she had skin cancer. After fighting bravely, she died on 2-10-09. my brother Andy had called both Simers and Plaschke at the L.A. Times to tell them of her love of all things Bruin.

Well to everybody's surprise, there was a call today to tell us they were saddened to hear of our loss. The caller? CBH:

For this man to call and reach out to us speaks of nothing but class and humanity. I know there is a Pac 10 Championship to win and he still took time to call and offer prayers.

A GREAT MAN.

Thank you for reading the post.
