Don’t forget to add the Inside UCLA Facebook Fan Page – here – and my twitter feed – here – as I’ll be posting updates and links on both throughout the season. The higherups are really into the Twitter thing, and really, it’s an easy way to convey quick information.

Some other quick hits:

* Any particular features you’d like me to bring back from last year?
* I’d like to bring back the Poll of the Week, where the winner gets to choose 10 questions for a particular football player. Now, with the video component, I think this can be a really interesting feature.
* I’ve been hoarding UCLA football and basketball cards for a long time, in anticipation of some cool giveaways – who wouldn’t want an Alterraun Verner autograph? – so give me some ideas for some contests we can run. What about a “Best UCLA fan” story contest, or something like that? Gotta get rid of the cards; I got them for you guys.
* Lastly, thanks to all those who made my first year as the Daily News’ UCLA beat writer an enjoyable one. It’s been an…interesting…year, but I’ve learned a lot. My first year on a major beat, first doing a blog, first with a podcast, then two podcasts, and I appreciate the votes of confidence along the way. For those who were not satisfied, I’ll try harder in the year to come.
Thanks,
JG
