Ken Norton jr. makes unfounded accusations about UCLA lying to recruits, and then vows to stay at usc, where Fullback Stanley Havili is flattened upon being ruled academically ineligible for the Rose Bowl What — Was “Ballroom Dancing 101” all filled up? If it’s been asked once, it’s been asked a thousand times: How is it possible to flunk out of […]
[*comments no longer disabled.] No, not Jefferson, but Josh, whose Grace(ful), Slick Bruins have Built This City, and whose return from injury built this 78-55 victory over Weezy-anna Tech into a “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now” moment You can’t have a hot Roll with every supper. Every now and then, when your Roll is cold (2-7), it […]
Pau Gasol and Lakers protect L.A.’s Record 33 Straight, by stopping Boston after 19, 92-83 The greatest Record in the History of Sports could be UCLA Basketball’s 88 straight wins.

Bruins KISS off Wyoming 113-62, as Hotter Than Hell Michael Roll comes Alive with 25 Here lies the ghost of Fennis Dembo… in a KISS Kasket, buried under Pauley Pavilion. The last time UCLA faced Wyoming, it was 1987 March Madness, and Wyoming’s Dembo scored 41 points to knock Reggie Miller’s Bruins OUT of the Tournament. That painful […]
Vacationing Georgia Mid-major — who beat sc last year — can’t handle Jrue Holiday and UCLA, as Roll is darin’, and Darren’s on a roll And it’s Mercer by Numbers, 1, 2, 3…76-59.

The vivid Blue & Cardinal landscape — missing since 1982 — was a perfect backdrop to see the Bruins show the most heart The colors on the field looked better than the numbers on the scoreboard. Yeah, UCLA lost convincingly to a superior team. That was a given. The only element that was still in doubt was which […]
Usc-backers lose big money, as flat trojans fail to cover spread in 28-7 victory over the out-manned Bruins. At least THIS year, the one moment of Bruin Cheering was early in the game, when the Bruins still had a chance. In fact, usc fumbled the ball on their first play ftom scrimmage, leading to a […]
If a day without O.J. is a day without sunshine, O.J. Simpson’s friends and family are about to endure 9 to 33 years of total darkness The sentence is in, and it ends with an exclamation point! Ex-trojan (and still a Hero to trojans everywhere) O.J. Simpson finally has been put behind bars for a long […]
L’Chaim to the Rivalry: Carroll and Neuheisel agree for both teams to wear colored jerseys on Saturday Don’t call them “Home” jerseys. No, sc does NOT “own the Rose Bowl,” but on this Saturday, they will be wearing their ketchup-colored jerseys instead of their white “Road” jerseys. From now on, UCLA and usc will honor the old […]
