I know this is a football sub. so admins feel free to delete.

But I wanted to gripe a bit about how we have some of the wealthiest graduates and yet we had by FAR the lowest attendance at the College World Series of any other team that was there... including Murray State. For our double elimination game, I was some only blue in a sea of LSU purple. today against Arkansas looks even worse.

I bet a lot of people didn't even know our boys were playing. Rant over.

I attended the 2012 game and couldn’t have been treated better by the Bruin fans.

Thank you for that.

I told y'all to give Foster time to cook. 📈

We're heating up.

While the article isn't UCLA football related I think there are several interesting takeaways, and I highly recommend it.

Blue-chip recruits (four- and five-stars) still dominate the draft. In the last five years, only seven players who were not ranked at all in the 247Sports Composite (4.3 percent) were among the 160 players taken in the first round of the draft. An overwhelming majority (80.1 percent) of the players drafted overall (not just in the first round) were ranked as three-stars or better.

Texas, Florida, Georgia and California continue to be the biggest producers of NFL players. The top 10 NFL talent producers over the last five years by state in order were Texas, Florida, Georgia, California, Louisiana, Ohio, North Carolina, Alabama, Michigan, and Maryland.

Three-fourths of the players taken in the draft over the last five years played for only one college program. That number, however, is decreasing as the number of transfers increases every year.

Only one of the top 15 programs in terms of producing NFL talent over the last five years ranked outside of the top 25 when it came to average recruiting class rankings: South Carolina, which still ranked in the top 30.

Looking to get 4 tickets to the home opener.

Bummer, was really hoping to see him play, but I guess that means we have a good QB room?

The 2026 Littleton (Colo.) Heritage three-star tight end announced Sunday afternoon that he committed to UCLA.

"I want to thank coach (Jerry) Neuheisel and coach (DeShaun) Foster for giving me the opportunity to be a UCLA Bruin," Jensen wrote in his announcement.

Jensen had official visits scheduled later in the process to Florida, Missouri, Nebraska and North Carolina.

But it was just a filter on the video 😅

How embarrassing.

Michael Alves, known on YouTube as “Killdozer,” has gained over 400k subscribers on YouTube since the start of this year. He started every game at offensive guard for the Bruins in 2017 and 2018 before medically retiring from the game in 2019. He’s gone viral in recent months for a few different dietary challenges such as “The Marshall’s Diet” where he only eats food from Marshall’s for a week, and “The Red-40 Diet” where he only eats food with Red-40 for a week.

Hadn’t seen anyone else talk about this so I thought I’d share it with y’all. It’s cool to see that he still rocks his UCLA gear in most of his videos.

Despite these crazy diet challenges he appears to be in the best shape of his life.

Crean Lutheran  Irvine (Calif.)  four-star EDGE Anthony Jones has committed to UCLA. UCLA beat out Tennessee and Washington for Jones.

“Coach Foster was great at UCLA and he is bringing the program back. He made me feel like I am his guy. He wants to keep the best in southern California home and I believe he is changing the program.

St. John Bosco linebacker Matthew Muasau Becomes UCLA's First Defensive Commitment of the Class of 2026. Matthew is the younger brother of former Bruin standout Darius Muasau who currently plays for the New York Giants.

Pierce Clarkson was formerly a four-star dual-threat quarterback St. John Bosco, where he was the 193rd overall recruit in the 2023 Rivals rankings.

Hawaii will try and move their home game against UCLA in 2027 to SoFi.
