About Inside UCLA
This is Brian Dohn's sixth season covering UCLA after spending 4 1/2 years covering the Dodgers for the Daily News and other Los Angeles Newspaper Group papers. He graduated from Rutgers, where the first college football game was played in 1869. Sure, the Scarlet Knights suffered for a long time, but now RU is doing what Jerseyans always thought was possible. Winning at Rutgers also proves winning is possible everywhere else in the nation, so underachieving coaches better be careful. Now, if only men's hoops can turn it around.
Bruin Kevin Chappell also won the individual championship. He saved both with a chip in from about four inches of rough on 17 for bogey after dumping his first shot in the lake. He was staring right down the barrel of a triple bogey there, which definitely would have cost the Bruins the team championship, and would have dropped them possibly to third. He then parred the very difficult 18th to seal both championships.
can win 10 more national championships in minor sports and it won't matter. Guerrero's wagon is now hitched to the football team. Unless they can narrow the gap with USC, he'll find himself out of a job, regardless of how many final fours the hoops team goes to.
It's simple, the alums and most of the public care about two sports--football and men's hoops, in that order.
Peace.
