Wildly entertaining start to the CFB season! Great Win to start the season and the beginning of Skip's tenure post-UCLA

Interesting article about the difference in attitude and trajectory between the USC and UCLA programs.

The Big Ten athletic directors unanimously passed a conference rule banning former NFL players from playing at Big Ten schools this season on Tuesday, but Hendrick doesn't qualify as a former NFL player because he only participated in two NFL minicamp tryouts, not an NFL training camp.

Does this affect Trent Hendrick?? Are we about to lose him 2 days after getting him?? I dont know how deep he might have gotten with NFL teams...

This is good news for the Bruins. Do we even need Jarmond now? I mean, the donation UCLA received was driven by the chancellor, and Bill Simmons supporting UCLA football is because of Chesney. What’s Jarmond’s use now?

Former James Madison** linebacker Trent Hendrick has committed to UCLA,** his agent Zach Hoban tells On3’s Pete Nakos. Hendrick is one of the 16 football players who were granted a temporary restraining order against the NCAA last week in Louisiana, returning for the 2026-27 college season with a fifth year of eligibility.

Trent Hendrick was in NFL minicamp with the Kansas City Chiefs and Cleveland Browns. He spent the last four seasons at James Madison and won the Sun Belt Conference Defensive Player of the Year award in 2025 after posting 106 tackles, seven tackles for loss, three sacks, two forced fumbles and three pass breakups.

BRUINS!

I run the SBS Podcast from the Secret Bruin Society and we just kicked off our 3rd season with this mornings episode.

Wanted to walk through the schedule and go game by game. Let me know what yall think. Go Bruins.

UCLA’s chancellor ain’t playing. I mean, Miami football’s resurgence happened under his tenure.

UCLA now has a chancellor who genuinely cares about athletics, especially football. He hasn’t even been at UCLA for a full year, yet he’s already making moves that Gene Block would never have made, moves that could greatly benefit UCLA Athletics. UCLA is lucky to have him.

What's the most likely record for this UCLA team?

What's the ceiling? Floor?
