Before he ever played an inning of college baseball, Red Sox catcher Adley Rutschman was the starting kickoff specialist for Oregon State. Here he is recovering his own onside kick against Boise State in 2016.

My first beat at the @dailybruin was covering @UCLAWBB back during the 2017-18 season. I covered the team on-and-off for the next six years. So satisfying to see this program win its first NCAA championship, a real full-circle moment.

UCLA men’s basketball ranks No. 5 in @totally_t_bomb’s Power Rating since February 18. Still absolutely bonkers to see that adjusted offense/defense split for a Mick Cronin team, no matter how many times he tells us exactly who and what this team is.

Drop the “City.” Just “Kansas Chiefs,” it’s cleaner.
The work is just beginning, but we’re excited to bring our vision to life with the State of Kansas in 2031.

After Gelo’s China incident, UCLA wanted him to go to therapy. Gelo refused and left the school shortly after 😳
