Bruins Nation — Let's get back to the coaching search, which in just span of 24 hours has become lot more fun interesting (interesting it's more apt considering I can't really describe my stomach being tied up in knots for next 48 hours as "fun").

The New UCLA Coach?College Sports Pro
Anybody get the feeling last night that the UCLA football team kind of rallies around interim head coach, and Defensive Coordinator, DeWayne Walker? I sure did.

BYU is well coached. They are strong on ...
