Every Lonely Man Will Call This Poor Girl Tonight Except Zane Johnson
Well, this young woman will probably rethink this decision if she suddenly gets contacted by thousands of horny morons. Hopefully, she didn't use her real number. What's the area code in Tucson anyway?...

Undie Run, Naked Pogo-Sticking, And Darth Vader's Boobs
Time for another edition of Waxing Off, the feature that was recently nominated for a Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Award. This week we've asked four talented female writers to ruminate on: Shocking college sporting traditions....

Anarchy At The UCLA Undie Run As Girls Seen Kissing Other Girls
When our money is worthless and society completely breaks down, I'm certain it will look a lot like the UCLA Undie Run. It happened last night, and this time there's video. Following the jump....

The UCLA Undie Run Will Never Die
It's always somewhat hilarious when school administrators get involved in wacky college traditions.

You've Got Some Red On You: That Rebel Pete Carroll Is At It Again
Trojan blogs are calling it a "ballsy" move, but I prefer the term harebrained, or possibly "retarded."

Rick Neuheisel Takes the Mic After UCLA-Tennessee And Pours Salt In the Wounds
It's one thing for your team to lose right in front of you. Trust me, I've had plenty of experience with that. Quite another for the opposing coach to take the mic and verbally disembowel you before you've even been able to leave the stadium after an overtime game. Rick Neuheisel pulls it off. Imme...

UCLA Calls Out USC in Full-Page Los Angeles Times Ad

Guy, Yes, Maybe, Guy, Guy (Your Results May Vary)
Having once lived in Westwood for 13 months, one would think that I would have noticed hundreds of UCLA coeds running around in their panties three times a year. But nope. The UCLA Undie Run was news to me when I read about it this morning (is this a relatively new phenomenon?). The latest installme...

Kansas, Memphis Sprint Past Everybody
Storming The Floor wraps up last night's non-live-blogged Final Four action....

Your UCLA-Memphis Live Blog
Finally, the Rumpelstiltskin of the tournament can weave chalk into gold, unless Kevin Love rains full-court chest pass threes all game. John Caliperi and Ben Howland would like to reserve their respective Final Four fortunes of years past. But remember: Larry Brown looms above all. And that's fine...

NCAA Pants Party: Final Four
All right, well, the games finally tip back off tomorrow, and it's about time: Without any major storyline — The Chalk Bracket just doesn't tend to inspire people — it's been a bit of a slog this week....

Storming The Floor's Final Four Preview
Storming The Floor looks at the Final Four, which tips off tomorrow. Oh, and this South Park "photo" of the coaches is from Gutty Little Bruins, which is probably why John Calipari looks a little off....

That Scrappy Underdog In Westwood
Perhaps we just don't follow this as closely as we should, but we really weren't aware that this UCLA team was supposed to be considered the most hated team in college basketball? We thought Duke had that title for life?...

Your Unprecedented Chalktastic Final Four
Welp. Some sound Jayhawk defense forces Stephen Curry to give up the final shot and it goes left. Now we have the first ever all 1-seed Final Four. All the lay people filling out a bracket are thrilled....

Your Xavier-UCLA Open Thread
The first of our the regional finals pits the seemingly charmed - sometimes suspiciously so - UCLA Bruins against those nutty Jesuit Musketeers. Is the dunking process of Derrick Brown enough to hold off KevLuv and Co., or is UCLA just an inevitable tournament runner-up? Let's just stay out of the S...
