  • COMEBACK-SLAYER OF THE YEAR

    Second-half surge is spoiled by Sophomore’s second-straight snafu in the last 72 seconds, in 70-68 Senior Day (and ’70 Day) setback With the Bruins down by 3 with 2 minutes left, Jerime Anderson took the bull by the horns, and drove to the hoop.  He got fouled, but muscled up a shot…

  • STEAMIN’ TYLER

    Sweet Emotion:   Amazing Tyler Honeycutt does What It Takes to Draw the Line — Rockin’ a Crazy 18-10-4-5-3 line that makes the Cryin’ Beavers Dream On, and puts the Elevator-Bruins Back in the Saddle, 65-56 The Tyler Train Kept a-Rollin’, All Night Long.  And it’s a good thing for UCLA…

  • THE CHOKER AND THE THIEF

    Ex-trojan (sort of) O.J. Mayo chokes away the game-sealing Free Throws, Kobe’s 3 with 4.3 seconds left steals the lead away, and Mayo’s miss at the buzzer leaves Memphis in a Purple Haze If none of his games at sc actually counted, is he still an ex-trojan?  You’re damn right he…

  • GORGE WASHINGTON

    Abyss-mal:  Up and down season goes south up north, as Bruins free-fall in Seattle while Huskies gorge on UCLA’s donut Defense, 97-68 Every time you think the Bruins don’t suck, they dial up a performance like this one. On the heels of a sweet, 20-point victory on the road over Washington…

  • PROBE OF McNAIR’S NOT SHORT-SHORT

    The NCAA Interrogation of Todd McNair and sc FOOTBALL gets legs and runs for two full days — kicking Floyd back — and in a close shave, a Bush deposition on March 5th WILL BE IN TIME to increase the severity of sc’s penalties, which really has trojan fans in a lather…

  • BRUINS ROLL THE BONES (THE HARD WAY)

    Pullman Pair-a-dice:  It gets a little dicey, but UCLA is still on a roll in Boxcar Town, as Michael Roll and new shooter Tyler Honeycutt come out hot to lead the bloodied Bruins over Ken Bone’s Cougars for their 17th straight win at Washington State, 71-51 If Ben Howland’s team could be…

  • FARCE OF NATURE

    A teary-eyed Garrett claims cheating is not in sc’s “nature,” in a desperate, 11th hour attempt to beg the NCAA for Mercy Somebody call The Guinness Book of World Records — Mike Garrett may have just told The World’s Biggest Lie. Just days before the NCAA convenes to determine the fate…

  • ALL CHOKED UP OVER LOVE, HOLIDAY

    Valentine’s Day, 2010:  Men shopped and cards were swapped, Nascars stopped and then were topped when All-Stars popped the shots that dropped, but Bruins flopped (‘cuz roster’s chopped and cropped by those who opt to hop) and the attitude was copped Valentine’s Day is always about avoiding potholes, but this year, more than…

  • LITTLE DOUCHE COOP

    And we’ll have FUn, FUn, FUn, now the Bruins put the tro-gals away:  UCLA stuffs a banana in Michael Coop De-vil’s filth-spewing tailpipe, with a Good Vibrations throttling of the southern California Girls Wouldn’t it be nice… …if JUSTICE always came this easily? A month after usc Women’s Basketball Coach…

  • HONEYCUTTS DOWN THE TREES

    Is there nuttin’ Honeycutt can’t do?  Tyler’s near triple-double leads UCLA past Stanford 77-73, and into a tie for First Place in the Pac-10 A Bit o’ Honeycutt was all the Bruins needed this year to turn it around. UCLA is suddenly in 1st Place in the Conference, after many…

  • IT’S IN THE HOLT!

    Par for the Curse:  O’Neill’s bench caddy Stan Holt has “trojan class” going for him (which is nice), and the sc Student Manager proves it in the rough loss to Oregon, by picking up a game-changing T(ee) for aiming coarse language at the Ref Blame it on the Ballboy. USC…
