I apologize. In the weeks leading up to the Rose Bowl game I had difficulty accepting the fact that our local teams would be sent away. What about the tradition that the Pac-12 champion would play in the Rose Bowl game, usually against the Big Ten champion. That's been good enough for a long, long time. Why make a change? When I learned the game would be between Oklahoma and Georgia I got a little madder. Who cares? What about USC and Ohio State? The Cotton Bowl in Texas. You've got to be...
UCLA introduced its new football coach, Chip Kelly during a packed press conference on the school's campus last Monday. If you could package the smiles from boosters into victories Kelly would be very successful already but expectations don't translate into wins.

"Football is a great game and to be around the right people is the most important thing to me....

The Offense Our football team has really put time and effort in the weight room and on the football field, and weve got huge goals for the 17 Season!! stated football head coach Jahmal Wright. Culver City goes into the football season as the top-ranked team in Division 11 in the Southern Section polls. That is a lofty ranking but probably well deserved. Two years ago the C.I.F. realigned the Divisions, and Culver City was amazingly put down to a lower Division. The reason why the Centaurs were...
The good news around Westwood is quarterback Josh Rosen is returning for his junior year. The bad news is, there are still some major question marks about the offensive line. Last year the problems with the line created complications running the ball and protecting the quarterback. The lack of protection caused a season-ending injury to Rosen. UCLA head coach Jim Mora thinks Rosen benefitted from being on the sidelines. His injury last season humbled Josh to a certain degree, said Mora last...
