  • DO I FEEL A DRAFT?

    With no Bruins (or trojans, of course) getting selected in today’s NBA Draft, allow me to shift your attention to more UCLA-centric matters About 44 years ago, UCLA’s Lew Alcindor (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) was the first pick in the NBA Draft, and his Bruin teammate Lucius Allen was the third pick. …

  • SQUAD ALMIGHTY

    Do you believe in Squad?  — Today we give praise to the UCLA CHEER SQUAD, the often-overlooked and sometimes under-rated sect of Bruin Cheerleaders who routinely put Spirit in the Sky The UCLA Dance Team gets a lot of publicity and recognition for being World Class, so it’s easy to forget…
