Steve Alford brings his lies to UCLA
Steve Alford is the new coach of the UCLA men’s basketball team. This isn’t news to most of you. It happened several days ago, without much naysaying or fanfare. It just kind of happened. The national media didn’t seem to have much of a reaction, which baffles me. This puzzles me because Steve Alford is not a good person. Sure, you could say that about a lot of coaches that...

Shabazz Muhammad lied about his age, so TruTV gave him an asterisk (Picture)

When Muhammad was introduced by TruTV Friday during UCLA’s NCAA Tournament game against Minnesota...
Golden Gophers blow out the Bruins, and now get the Gators
A truly rewarding journey isn't easy. There are wrong turns, detours, and delays. The college basketball season is 30 games long, and the Golden Gophers got lost along the way, and more than once looked like they wanted to give up and go home. Instead, they'll be playing to go to the teams first Sweet 16 (that counts) since 1989. In basketball as in life, without negatives...

UCLA is beatable if the Gophers don’t beat themselves.
In the run-up to Selection Sunday, there is no shortage of what teams will make the NCAA tournament and how they will be seeded.

Obviously bubble teams and their fans care a great amount about their tournament chances, and making the tournament is a prerequisite to winning a national championship. Seeding...

Smokeshow UCLA Cheerleaders from College Gameday
College Gameday was at UCLA and with it came the smoking hot UCLA Cheerleaders. It’s not that I should be surprised that their cheerleaders were hot because as guys we usually assume that cheerleaders are all smokeshows. Unfortunately that isn’t always the case and that’s even less so for cheer squads (who can sometimes look like ground beef).
Well UCLA came hard in the paint...
