Commentary, predictions, rumors, maybe some smack on sports in Los Angeles
Prior to comparing off-campus murder statistics on a local radio show, new UCLA head football coach Jim Mora’s main focus was getting his Bruins up to speed on his spread passing offense.
UCLA quarterback Richard Brehaut made a controversial decision when the 2010 football season ended. He decided to also play for the Bruins baseball team immediately after the gridiron season getting then coach Rick Neuheisels blessing as long as football came first.
Much like the Los Angeles Kings, who hoisted their first-ever Stanley Cup earlier this week by being road warriors taking 10 of 11 playoff games away from Staples Center during their title run, the UCLA Bruins baseball team makes itself quite at home on the road as well.
Talk about a Spring wake-up call.

UCLA quarterbacks were in a passing fancy during the Bruins annual spring football game Saturday at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. A crowd estimated at around 13,000 saw Bruin signal callers combine for six touchdown tosses.
Maybe Chris Dohrmann’s Sports Illustrated article claiming Bruins men’s head basketball coach Ben Howland’s lost his team was a bit overblown.
If anything, Howland’s a superior “Xs and Os” coach as well as a superior recruiter of talent.
Having to navigate through two tie-breakers, Minnesota Timberwolves all-star forward and former UCLA Bruin Kevin Love won the 2012 Foot Locker Three-Point Shootout during the All-Star Saturday Night events in Orlando.
