Sir, a Vampire Weekend album has hit the airwaves. Sir, we are in our khaki shorts and sandals. Sir, we are walking across the campus. Sir, Peter Gabriel too.

Welcome to Anaheim, Chris Taylor. He said he’s likely playing three to four times a week to start off. “I'm excited to stay home. I get to live at home. The Angels have been playing really good baseball, so I'm excited to join the team and hopefully get on the field.”

Chris Taylor on being released from the #Dodgers: "It was emotional. I've been on the Dodgers for nine years, but I do believe it was time, for me. It was my time to kind of start fresh, you know, hopefully turn the page, start a new chapter. I'm excited to do that here."

If you play the song, "The Abduction" from Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812 exactly at 11:55:51 on New Year's Eve, @joshgroban will toast happiness, freedom, and life at exactly midnight. Start your 2019 with the best way possible.

I may be a graduate student at USC now, but I can tell you that Jordan Chiles is everywhere. Her Nike advertising campaign is plastered on the wall I trot by on my mid-day walks. Chiles is a modern-day marketable star, no matter the location.

I’m THRILLED to share that I’ve been accepted into UCLA! 🐻💙💛 Ever since I was little, UCLA was the only university I ever dreamed of. Going to Bruins’ sports in Westwood and the Rose Bowl my entire life, I always imagined myself in blue and gold. My hard work has paid off.

It’s official. The 30-day transfer portal window for #UCLA is closed. No redshirts, no transfers. The Tim Skipper effect.

Hard not to hear the “Go Big Red” as Nebraska trots into the visiting locker room.

Jerry Neuheisel had an offer to become UCONN’s offensive coordinator under former UCLA head coach Jim Mora during the offseason, per @IraGorawara and @BruceFeldmanCFB’s reporting. He decided to remain a Bruin.

Jerry Neuheisel gave every corner of his world reason to smile Saturday, breathing the Rose Bowl back to life in a way it hadn’t felt in years. "He was exactly what they needed" "To score that many points like that is mind-boggling" "He is like Mr. UCLA" w/ @BruceFeldmanCFB:

UCLA may have lost tonight, but Janelle McDonald deserves Coach of the Year and it’s not even close.

The moment UCLA defeated No. 7 Penn State from the press box. A few fans attempted to storm the field, and were quickly stopped — in very “UCLA” fashion. I was a student in Westwood a few years back. I can say that.

DeShaun Foster: "Serving as the head coach at UCLA, my beloved alma mater, has been the honor of a lifetime." "While I am deeply disappointed that we were unable to achieve the success that our players, fans, and university deserve..." CONT:
