[Post-game Thread] UCLA: 27 Nebraska: 20

Bruins win! Bruins win! Bruins win! That's 2 games in a row I've been able to say that! Still alot of cleanup to do, like those damn unsportsmanlike penalties. Those have to stop! But a win is a win. I'll take it especially in conference and on the road. So, what do you all have to say? Go Bruins!

[Game Thread] UCLA @ Nebraska

Hello Bruins! Gametime is upon us. I am very hopeful that the bye week gave the Bruins time to clean some stuff up ( ahem DBs)and heal up. I'm looking forward to this one. I am aware Nebraska isn't the Nebraska from my childhood but a good win on the road hopefully gets this team on track to finish strong. So what do you all think? Here is your game thread for all cheers, jeers, hot takes, and just general in game discussion. Enjoy the game! Go Bruins!

[Pre-Game Thread] UCLA @ Nebraska kickoff at 12:30 PM PST from Lincoln, Nebraska

Hello Bruins, so another game is upon us. I just got home from work after a week of night time ops, so I figured I'd post the pre-game now. After a win, that I honestly didn't think would come we come off a bye to face Nebraska. Luckily for us it isn't the Nebraska that I grew up knowing. However, it's another BIG opponent and we need these. As I always say ( sorry for sounding like a broken record) I just hope we play hard and limit dumb penalties. Here is your pre-game thread for all predictions, expectations, GameDay plans, and just general pre-game talk. Hope you all had a great Halloween! GO BRUINS!

Iowa Team Arrival?

Visiting fan coming in peace, my whole family will be driving down from the Bay Area so I can bring my 2 daughters (5 and 6) to their first Iowa football game next Friday.

We've bought parking passes and plan to tailgate a bit with some friends before the game but I was hoping to partake in other experiences for my daughters. I thought watching the Iowa team arrive and walk into the stadium might be fun but can't find any information regarding this. Any idea from prior experience when and where we can try to catch the visiting team's arrival?

Also any other cool traditions I should checkout with my kids?

Looking forward to the trip and hopefully an entertaining game for all!

Am I the only one?

I know this has been a rough season for our Bruins. Am I the only one who actually smiles when I see USC right next to us in the Big Ten standings at 1-4? I love watching them lose almost as much as watching us win. Go Bruins!!!!

Are we… fine? How many games will the bruins win the rest of the season?

Last week we choked against Minnesota, this week we almost choked against Rutgers… but we didn’t! A win is a win!

4 of our losses were against great teams—I still think Indiana is underrated and will finish top 10, but I also think LSU is overrated and won’t.

Iowa will be tough, Nebraska will be tough, $C will be interesting. If things go right for the rest of the season… I think we could make a bowl.

[Game Thread] UCLA @ Rutgers

Hello again Bruins, it's gametime once again. I'm really still not used to these early kickoff. Well, honestly we are desperate for a victory and any type of success. As I say every week, I hope this team just plays hard and shows improvement. I also really hope Garbers stays off the field. I can't really stomach another game like last week. So with that, here is your game thread for all in game discussion, cheers, jeers, observations, and hot takes. Enjoy the game! Go Bruins!

[Pre-Game Thread] UCLA @ Rutgers kickoff @ 9:00 AM PST

Hello Bruins. Another early kickoff, so another early pre-game thread. It is getting hard to get excited about any of these games now, but I will hope for the best. I'm just honestly hoping as a fan for a damn victory. I think these players deserve it, and I think Coach Foster does as well. I'm curious about the QB situation, Garbers, I like him but at this point in a lost season, I'd like to see someone else under center at this point. Now, here is your pre-game thread for all pre-game predictions, discussions, expectations, and gameday plans. As always, Go Bruins!

What's your Ideal Coaching Staff?

We constantly talk about what coaches should come into the program and what UCLA deserves. I'll throw my coaching make-up (based in reality) for what I would like to see.

DC: Jimmy Rogers (South Dakota)

I would hire Jimmy Rogers, the current HC of the SDSU (South Dakota) Jackrabbits. Dude has a 20-1 record and HC, and has a salary of $310k/year. He was a LB position coach, which has always been a strong point of UCLA defense, and is winning games by 40 points.

HC: Brent Vigen (No. 1) OR Jimmy Candle (No.2)

Brent Vigen - $210k/year - HC at Montana State and boasts a 39-9 record in the Big Sky conference. Has been coached at North Dakota, Wyoming and now Montana. Dude seems to shit out championship teams. Dude had Wyoming as division champions in 2016 as OC/QB coach, and has been coaching at Montana State since 2021 and has a 32-9 record there. He clearly is recruiting, and his team is a top contender in the conference each year.

Jason Candle - $1.1Mil/year - HC at Toledo, who always runs a pretty decent program. Comes from the cradle of coaches in the MAC, and has consistently taken his team to a bowl game. Toledo is good, maybe not the best, but has good pipelines from Ohio, Penn, and around the Mid-West. Dude has a 69-37 record with Toledo, so I think he would be good at the next level.

OC: Eric Bienemy

I would keep Bienemy. Two superbowls with the chiefs, decent play calling, and can teach guys for the next level. I'd even keep him just because of his experience overall as Assistant HC.

Anyway, curious to hear everyone else's thoughts.

PS: I still love the Fos, but I am sending in an early X-mas list.

Inconsistency is the name

While listening to the postgame Bruin talk show Saturday, host Brian Fenley summed up this UCLA team best: they’re consistently inconsistent. Thing is, you can say that has been the programs mantra since the Toledo era.

After 98, team starts off 3-0 or 5-0, then loses to a team they should have beat, then gets blown out by one of the Arizona schools, and ends up 7-5 or 6-6 and loses in 3rd tier bowl game.

Despite the years of talent they’ve had and the number of players they’ve sent to the pros, In the 25 years I’ve rooted for this team, they are consistently inconsistent.

On to Rutgers!

Oregon and UCLA

This weekend was a perfect snapshot of everything that's wrong with UCLA Football and the long downward slog it took to get here. While Oregon was at the center of the national conversation, UCLA is an irrelevant footnote. How did we get here?

Oregon has spent the last 30 years building their football program. UCLA has spent this century dismantling football year by year.

Oregon treats football as a priority. They invested in facilities. They courted donors. They hired top flight athletic directors. They hired good coaches... Rich Brooks, Mike Bellotti, Chip Kelly, Mario Cristobal and Dan Lanning.

They've won league titles and Rose Bowls and New Years 6 games.

On Saturday night Autzen Stadium was the center of the football universe, with College Gameday in the house and the Ducks beating Ohio State in a nationally televised game. The Ducks woke up Tuesday morning to find themselves ranked #2 in the AP poll.

In 1998 UCLA was a game away from playing in the BCS title game against Tennessee. Since then, UCLA has spent nearly 3 decades taking apart the football program.

They hired incompetent ADs, who in turn hired a series of bad coaches who had few options or were not qualified... Karl Dorrell, Rick Neuheisel, Jim Mora, zombie Chip Kelly, and stuck with these coaches despite poor results because of crippling buyouts. The administration tightened academic requirements on football, meaning players with offers from Michigan, Cal, Stanford and Texas could be admitted. What other school has done this?!

UCLA had 2 years to prepare for the B1G, and did nothing at all. They started this season with a running backs coach with no coordinator or head coaching experience. It is obvious to everyone outside of UCLA that this is a disastrous hire, that Foster is not qualified and in over his head. The results are as expected,. UCLA is now 1-5, the latest loss in an empty Rose Bowl to a middling Minnesota team. The program is now hitting bottom. 1-11 is definitely on the table.

This didn't happen overnight. Oregon spent years building. UCLA spent years doing nothing.

UCLA USC football game time question

Hi! Is the game on 11/23 more likely to be noon or afternoon or night, given how things are shaking out so far? Asking because I'm figuring out if it makes sense to book flights for the game on a tight schedule.
