I spoke to some UCLA fans about what’s going on with the Rose Bowl for @ocregister: “The Rose Bowl is just college football, right?” “For our hosts to sue us is pretty defeating.” “That would rip out the soul of the program to leave the Rose Bowl.” https://t.co/DE0g0kODPc

‘The Rose Bowl is just college football, right?’ says a former student section president of the alleged move from the Pasadena landmark to SoFi Stadium.

#UCLA redshirt senior offensive lineman Garrett DiGiorgio is on the field at Ohio Stadium without pads on and a jersey over street clothes, indicating he may not play in tonight's game against #OhioState. DiGiorgio left the Nebraska game early with back spasms and did not return.

I’m up in Sacramento for my grandmother’s memorial service, so I won’t have live updates of Saturday’s game in Columbus. Don’t worry though, my Sunday follow-up piece will surely have something to say — regardless of the Bruins’ result.

Three weeks after a 50-point loss at No. 2 Indiana, the Bruins travel to take on the No. 1 defending national champs trying to control what they can control.

This might resonate with UCLA fans, who may be at SoFi by next year. AD Martin Jarmond has said the Rose Bowl’s lease limits the program’s ability to capitalize on premium seating. Should the Bruins move, they’d essentially be asking for smaller crowds willing to pay more money.
This is genuinely outstanding work from @MattBakerCFB, capturing the consequences of college football pricing out middle-class fans, giving lifelong season ticket holders no choice but to take a step back. Recommend you have a read. Incredible reporting: https://t.co/iIa2areMUq

FINAL: UCLA 78, UNC 60 After a hard-fought first half set the stage for potentially an exciting final 20 minutes, UCLA completely blew the doors open in the middle of the third quarter, going on a 22-14 run to close the game out and earn its 2nd straight top-15 win, 4th overall

All players on the Chargers’ Wednesday injury report are out on the field practicing Thursday. Worth mentioning that RB Omarion Hampton is off to the side working with a trainer, individually, as well. #BoltUp @latimessports

Greg Roman continued on Vidal: “I think it's a really good story; a guy that found himself in a place at the bottom of the mountain, and got an opportunity and took advantage of it. Now he's making his trek up the mountain. I think it's a beautiful story.”
#BoltUp offensive coordinator Greg Roman on Kimani Vidal: “He’s got a little hovercraft in him.”
