I know, I know, technically their season is not over just yet, as they face Arizona in the Pac-10 Tournament at Staples Center today, but...
After all the futility that the UCLA Bruins have gone through in basketball this season, the most positive thing that I can say about this hoops squad can be summed up in three words:
It is over.
Bruin ... 11Mar2010 |

Recently I visited the house that John Wooden built, UCLA's Pauley Pavilion, as I've done several times a year for the past few years.
However, it was not to watch a basketball game - shockingly enough, considering that with its 11 national championships, hoops are to Bruins the way football is to crosstown enemy USC - iconic in UCLA lore.
And although ... 27Jan2010 |

Let us be honest and face facts: The first decade of the 21st century was a mediocre one for the UCLA Bruins football program.
Being a loyal alumnus and a dedicated member of Bruin Nation, that was a difficult thing to say. But it's also the truth.
This program has had three coaches over these past ten years, including the current one, ... 6Jan2010 |

It all started the Saturday after Thanksgiving...
First, the UCLA Bruin football team commenced in their crosstown war with their enemies from USC.
Though the game was competitive and the defense played well, not only did the Trojans pull away at the end, but they scored an unneeded touchdown in the last minute and proceeded to taunt the Bruins afterward, provoking a ... 9Dec2009 |

This has been a Murphy's Law kind of year for the UCLA Bruins' basketball program thus far.
They had lost four of their first six games, including three straight to finish last at the 76 Classic in Anaheim during Thanksgiving weekend.
Included in those defeats were losses to Cal State ... 7Dec2009 |

Two institutions, both alike in dignity, in the City of the Angels, where we set our scene...
This Saturday at the Coliseum, the UCLA Bruins will renew their crosstown war with a USC Trojan team that's seeking redemption for their recent 55-21 beat down at the hands of Stanford.
Once again, as has been ... 23Nov2009 |

For the UCLA Bruins, it's looking like 2008 all over again.
For the third time in four games, the offense failed to produce points or sustain long drives, getting only ten first downs and an anemic 65 rushing yards, as the defense generated the Bruins' only touchdown in a ... 26Oct2009 |

Knowing relatively little about this season's Arizona Wildcats, UCLA's opponents this Saturday in Tuscon, I took a look at Arizona's website to see who their standouts were and to get a grasp of the Bruins' chances.
After a few minutes, based on how the Wildcats and UCLA have performed of late, I came ... 22Oct2009 |

For the UCLA Bruins and the California Golden Bears, hopes for the remainder of this season may well be on the line in their upcoming contest this Saturday at the Rose Bowl.
Both teams have identical records; they are 3-2 overall and more importantly, 0-2 in the Pac-10 Conference.
Both teams are coming off ... 15Oct2009 |
