Afterwards, They Attacked A Guy With Their Unfinished Screenplays
You know, we have to give credit where credit is due: We have never considered UCLA Bruins fans among the most passionate and violent in the land of collegiate sports, but, apparently, we were mistaken. After the Bruins' win over USC last Saturday, a group of Bruins fans ganged up and attacked a Tro...
Perhaps She Has Chosen The Wrong Collegiate Extracurricular Activity
The M Zone takes a moment away from screaming at the heavens and cursing Allah to bring us this video, from the USC-UCLA game Saturday — way to step up, Trojans, by the way — and the famous Unable To Figure Out When Is, In Fact, The Correct Time To Cheer cheerleader. She has a tendency to strike dur...
How Freddie Spent His Weekend
In case you were wondering what former Philadelphia Eagles shitball Freddie Mitchell is up to ... he's out taunting fans at UCLA games from the stands! Hey, sure beats playing; we understand, Freddie....
Sometimes, YouTube Can Be A Very Dangerous Thing
This is "Hugh Johnson," which is an incredibly clever fake name, and he has a UCLA fan site. He is, as you can tell here, extremely clever. And if we were a UCLA backer right now, we'd be hiding under our desk....
"Wow, It's Us. Hey, It's Us. Yo, Check It Out, It's Us."
Via Gawker, the fine folks at Silver Jacket captured this image from last night's national championship game....
That Really Should Have Been More Fun
As they say, the NCAA Tournament went out with a whimper rather than a bang, a flurp rather than a woosh, a squat thrust rather than a jumping jack. Florida hammered UCLA to win the national championship last night, and some of you might have been lucky to have made it until the end. The Gators do...
Who Would Win A Fight Between A Bruin And A Gator?
Perhaps there is something to the claims of those who say that all the early upsets in the NCAA Tournament has diminished interest in the late rounds; we're feeling a palpable lack of interest in tonight's national championship game between UCLA and Florida. Of course, that might be different if G...
Amazon.com Has Your Potentially Flawed Merchandise
As many of you have pointed out to us today, Amazon.com made a bit of a mistake this morning, sending out an email to pretty much anyone who has ever bought anything sports-related on the site imploring them to be "the first to see our selection of NCAA championship products."...
One Depressing Sports Weekend
We don't mean to overstate this, but Saturday was a disappointing an evening for college basketball as we can remember. It's not just that George Mason lost to Florida, or even that they lost so convincingly. Their legend had been secured simply by making it to Indianapolis at all; any mid-major w...
Tapeworms Overcome Glen Davis; UCLA And Florida To Meet Monday Night
Every commercial CBS takes prolongs the agony. And CBS certainly isn't shy about the commercial breaks this year....
Bruins vs. Tigers, 5:58 Second Half
Garrett Temple buys a pump fake and ends up kneeing someone in the head. That was exciting....
Bruins vs. Tigers, 13:07 Second Half
Glen Davis starts the half by missing a couple of short ones, and UCLA has pushed the lead to 19. This evening... has been disappointing....
Bruins vs. Tigers, Halftime
Uh oh. Big Baby's practically begging John Brady to take him out of the game. He can't keep up with the pace. Things really couldn't be going worse for the Tigers....
Bruins vs. Tigers, 6:28 First Half
Hey, sweet commercial. Someone asks Spike Lee who he'd have a beer with if he could have a beer with anyone, and it's a nice little tribute to Jackie Robinson. Apparently, the commercial is for beer. Not any particular beer, just... beer in general....
Bruins vs. Tigers, 12:19 First Half
Just real quick, Seth Davis reports before the game that NC State's Herb Sendek is no longer NC State's. He's been offerred and has accepted the head coaching job at Arizona State. I think the Sun Devils just got one of the better coaches in the nation....
It's A Final Four Pants Party
Obviously, the best story at this weekend's Final Four in Indianapolis is George Mason, but we've found the best story of that best story: It turns out that until this weekend, the George Mason fight song had no lyrics. Seriously; they had to write a whole batch just because the NCAA was asking fo...
Can't Anybody Here Play This Game?
Wasn't that Bill Walton in the stands grinning during the final moments of UCLA's win over Memphis on Saturday? What was he smiling about? Was it the Bruins' 35 percent shooting from the field? Was it their 51 percent shooting from the free throw line? Ironically, it was in the 1973 NCAA champions...
NCAA Roundup:All GMU, All The Time
• As exciting as the LSU-Texas and George Mason-Connecticut games were, the Florida-Villanova and UCLA-Memphis games were dogs. Particularly that last one; it had been a long time since we'd seen a team back into the Final Four. Not supposed to work that way. • One of the more underpublicized fact...
UCLA To Meet The Tapeworms
This one was the college basketball equivalent of a 6-3 Browns/Bengals game in a freezing rain. For a while there, it didn't look like either team would get to 50 points. Much like Ben Howland, this game was not pretty....
UCLA Refusing To Be Whooped
The Bruins have taken a 28-21 lead with them into halftime after sweating Memphis into their worst shooting performance of the year. They're 0-for-10 from behind the line, and 10-of-37 overall. Most tricks are not impressed by 21-point halves....
