I'm a big fan of reading what's being said about UCLA around various sports message boards across the internet.  Finding interesting, thoughtful, and inflammatory threads regarding our Bruins is great entertainment.

Usually I'm looking at threads that profile upcoming games.  I like getting a consensus feeling from the other team's fans before a game begins, and then see UCLA dismantle their predictions.  The regular theme from our opponent's fans these days includes "praying for upsets" with their teams "playing their best game of the season", "firing on all cylinders", "staying out of foul trouble", etc. Good stuff, really.

I also find myself looking at the threads about potential match-ups come tourney time.  Reading through the Phog and Carolina, you find tons of in depth fan analysis about UCLA.  You can already find "when we meet UCLA in the tourney" threads popping up from the confident fans.

I am also regularly lurking in various SC forums to read about their outrageous expectations for their basketball program.  With their abysmal Pac-10 start, they are in full meltdown mode.  Good times.

This diary is going to share threads that I've found interesting.  With the current status that UCLA is enjoying, there is definitely no shortage of threads in the sports message board world.  It's satisfying to be at the top of the heap and the measuring stick all programs measure themselves to.
