Sorry, but I've been getting comment "spam" from those damn bots out there. I'm going to try a few things to eliminate that. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The Reports of my Death are Greatly Exaggerated

Wow, been a busy few months. But I'm back and I have a few posts lined up about the up coming season. Thanks for reading this site and visiting.

Blog Hiatus

Well, for anyone visiting over the last month, it should be pretty obvious that I'm not posting much these days. That's because of a busy personal and work schedule and the slow down in news since the new coaching staff was hired. I'll pickup again when we get closer to spring practice this April. Thanks for visiting!

Feedback

With a new year of football coming our way in 2008, I thought I'd ask you, the loyal Bruin Roar reader, what you'd like to see more of this season. Take a minute and let me know...

BlackJack Joins Bruin Roar

The creative and witty mind behind the WeWantWalker website, BlackJack, has joined Bruin Roar as a contributing author. His blog, that campaigned on behalf of defensive coordinator DeWayne Walker for the head coaching position, gained instant success and wide spread attention just a few short weeks ago. He was invited onto a segment with Joe Grande over at AM 570 and his blog was noted by beat writer Brian Dohn at Inside UCLA.

Now that the search for the head coach has completed, BlackJack has started a new website called GuttyLittleBruins. Expect a lot more of his humors, controversial, and thought provoking takes both here and on his new blog. Check it out!

Focus on Football

So my blog is almost 3 weeks old! I'm still working on the format and the look and feel of the site. My goal is to have the title graphics and everything finished before the month is over. I'm also spending some time on a computer program that generates some very interesting football statistics. I'll be posting more about that this summer.

Today I decided that I would keep this site primarily focused on UCLA football. I still love basketball, but my heart and passion have always been on the gridiron. I'll occasionally post on basketball topics but I think keeping this a UCLA football blog will mean much better content for the readers. Besides, there are already a lot of great Bruin Basketball blogs.

RaulAzul joins Bruin Roar

Fark Master RaulAzul has recently joined this blog as an author. Raul gained national attention for his epic thread on Bruin Report Online which poked fun at Florida Gator's star Joakim Noah. His pictures of Noah as Michael Jackson, Lord of the Dance, and a petite geisha girl garnered media attention from around the Net. A newspaper and a number of blogs ( here, here, and here), including the popular sports blog Dead Spin, marveled at Raul's creative genius.

Raul will be posting his original creations on this blog during the coming season, so check back often to view his latest offerings. In the meantime, here is a little sample of his work:
