Only at UCLA can three straight Final Four appearances leave a sense of disappointment, but while Bruins fans are proud of their program, to get so close so often to that iconic net cutting moment, only to come away empty handed?  The feeling of frustration is natural.  Now imagine how Ben Howland and his players […]

Bruins (3-6, 2-4) at Huskies (0-9, 0-6) — Saturday, 7:15 p.m. PST, FSN
GAME TIME:
When UCLA defeated Tennessee on Sept. 1, it felt like a national statement.  As it turned out, the statement was less “we’ve arrived” and more “we’re just slightly less lousy than you are.”  And should the Bruins travel to Seattle and fall to […]

UCLA showed in last Saturday’s 28-3 win over Washington State at the Rose Bowl that they are, in fact, not the worst team in the Pac-10 (in case anyone was worried).  Even better, on the offensive side they built on a strong performance the week prior against Fresno State.  It shouldn’t surprise, then, to see […]

Cougars (1-4, 0-2) at Bruins (1-3, 0-1) (Saturday, 7:15 p.m. PST, FSN)
GAME TIME:
When Washington State visits Pasadena on Saturday, they will face a task more difficult than simply winning or losing a football game.  They’ll have to figure out why they bothered to make the trip.  Against their four FBS opponents this year, the Cougars have […]

It’s looking increasingly like UCLA’s opening week victory over Tennessee will be the highlight of the 2008 season.  The runner up may just be USC’s loss to Oregon State Thursday night.  After that?  It’s hard to say.  If the last two weeks- blowout losses to BYU and Arizona- have taught us anything, it’s that the […]
