UCLA can’t give away college football tickets. Why would Bob Chesney stay?

* Bob Uecker voice. * In case you haven’t noticed, and judging by the attendance at Rose Bowl Stadium, Angelenos haven’t, UCLA football is undefeated . A basic rule of Hollywood remains: Stars sell tickets, not teams. Bob Chesney might look like he’s straight out of a movie studio’s casting department, but he’s coaching a team full of no-names. Hayes: Tennessee embarrassed Alabama. CFP committee embarrassed itself UCLA is winning with a quarterback who transferred in from the FCS and began the season as the backup, plus a running back off the James Madison portal pipeline , and a defense that answers every bell. The Bruins are overachieving, they’re taking advantage of a weak schedule, and their odds of making the playoff improve with each passing Saturday. L.A yawns. Despite launching a complimentary ticket promotion , a crowd of 24,611 turned up last weekend to watch UCLA beat Nevada, 27-0. In the South, they might call such a crowd the “west sideline attendance.” Here’s the key question: Does Chesney care that L.A. doesn’t care about his team? If Chesney wants to coach where an undefeated team would be the big ticket in town, he’ll need to eventually leave the city

Cori Close was less than impressed by No. 11 UCLA in the season-opener

The 2026-2027 season began with a 73-53 victory for the UCLA Bruins as the defending champions knocked off Lehigh to kick off the new campaign. It wasn't the flashiest win for a program coming off of a record-setting season but Cori Close’s team is 1-0. It was a 20-point win for the No. 11 team in the country but the team felt more beatable after two years of near perfection. Close didn’t walk away from Monday’s game too impressed either. “We’ve got a long way to go as a basketball team. I didn’t think we came out and executed our scout to the level that we needed to but I also know that this team has a real coachable spirit so I’m going to relentlessly teach,” Close said in the postgame press conference . “We’ll get better game-by-game.” Not quite a ringing endorsement after a 20-point win but the win didn’t feel that comfortable. The game was tied at the end of the first quarter before the Bruins held a five-point lead at halftime before UCLA ultimately gained some separation after halftime. “This group doesn’t have one person that’s going to put them on their back and just sort of

USC men's basketball team powered by two great freshmen debuts

A lot of focus heading into the season for the USC Trojans men's basketball team was the development of guard Alijah Arenas. In Game 1, Arenas did thrive, scoring an efficient 21 points in the Trojans' win over Milwaukee. However, a big takeaway was how good the twin freshmen for USC were: Adonis and Darius Ratliff. Adonis Ratliff was the leading scorer for USC in his debut as he posted 25 points, shooting 7-for-10 from the field and 5-for-7 from beyond the arc. Ratliff did not just light it up as a scorer; he also finished the game with 2 steals and 2 blocks. The game looked nothing but easy for him. He will provide the Trojans this season with an elite two-way scorer. Excitement should be through the roof with him. The other twin, Darius Ratliff, was right behind him. Darius was also featured in the starting lineup in game 1 at the center position, and he dominated. The 7-foot big man dropped 14 points and cashed a 3-pointer on the night. The most impressive stat on the night was his 5 blocks. Both twins can score at a high level, but they will also propel the Trojans to
