Lorenzo Mata Shows Us What’s Cracking In Mexico

Former UCLA basketball Legend Lorenzo Mata is currently balling in Xalapa, Mexico and along with some of his teammates put this little video together to show how they spend their free time. The vid starts some dudes chilling in Mata’s apartment, affectionately known as the “Crackhouse.” Similar to most other basketball players across the world, the majority of time is either spent playing video games (like Wii bowling), getting a solid haircut, heading to the mall to get fitted and/or getting tatted. Who knew that Mexico was cracking like this?

Holler Back: UCLA’s Brian Price Bouncing To NFL

After watching UCLA defensive tackle Brian Price dominate opposing offensive lines for the past 3 seasons, his decision to chuck the deuces at his senior year and get that league cheese was easy like the Sunday mornings in which he will now be playing. Price is a native of South Central and attended Crenshaw high school before heading across town to play for the Bruins.

After the Bruins stunning comeback victory in the EagleBank Bowl Tuesday against Temple, Price decided to make his next move his best move as he will be a lock for the early first round. The dude looks something like Warren Sapp out there and even though he went against a wacker breed of competition on a routine basis playing in the Pac-10, Price is ready to do work in the NFL

BYD: Best Of UCLA’s Undie Run

Even though it’s winter, which generally isn’t too bad in Los Angeles, UCLA students along with several randoms kept the tradition of the UCLA Undie Run alive despite the school’s attempt to stomp down on the festivities. Never a bad thing to see a bunch of America’s brightest scholars taking it to the concrete for a good cause. Via COED Magazine

UCLA Students Rebel With Watered-Down Undie Run

Via Busted Coverage

Even though school authorities attempted to cancel the recent tradition of the UCLA Undie Run, a few hundred students decided to say “F” the man and went ahead with continuing the event as scheduled. The Unide Run occurs the Wednesday of finals week, and since UCLA operates on the quarter system, there are 3 runs per school year. The final run in the spring quarter generally attracts the largest audience, taking it to the concrete in nothing but panties, boxers and tighty whities. Not a bad sight to see.

Over the course of the last few years, the Undie Run grew from a grassroots campaign started by a few students looking to have a little fun to combat the stress of finals, to an all out event that attracted tens of thousands of participants, many of whom were not actually students of the school. Because of the large amount of non-UCLA attendees and the subsequent ragers that occur before, during and after the festivities, school administrators decided that it was time to give the run the boot.

Even though the school and campus police can try to shut down this now legendary event, the craftier students will keep figuring out a way to make sure that it lives on. The police can only crack down on the Undie Run, they will never be able to prevent it completely.

Ewwww: UCLA Baller’s Eye Gets Puffy Like Combs

UCLA freshman forward Reeves Nelson got one of the worst eye-pokings in college basketball history Sunday during the Bruins game against Kansas as apart of the Big 12/Pac-10 Challenge. Nelson’s bucket should have counted but was waved off by officials. He tried to come back in the game a few minutes later sporting a fresh pair goggles, but the damage to the eye was too overwhelming, so he headed to the locker room. It’s a safe bet that he’ll be rocking the googles for the foreseeable future.

In The Face: Frenchy Gets A Taste Of A U.S. Holiday

Dunk Score: 9.4

Even though the Sixers are near the bottom of the Eastern Conference rookie Jrue Holiday has to be ecstatic that he bounced from UCLA after his freshman year cause the Bruins ain’t doing much better. At least Holiday is getting a nice check every 2 weeks to offset the frustration of playing in Philly. Mavericks rookie Rodrigue Beaubois found out what happens to dudes that try to be heroes and get in the way of an easy bucket. In his native Guadeloupe they would say he got merde’d on, but however you say it one thing is for certain, this is definitely a Holiday that he will never forget.

USC Linebacker Malcolm Smith At UCLA’s Undie Run

In case you didn’t know Malcolm Smith is a Legend on and off the field. The ‘SC linebacker was responsible for putting up the first points on the board after getting a pick six in the first quarter of USC’s 28-7 win over crosstown rival UCLA in the annual battle of Los Angeles. But just because he balls on the other side of town, doesn’t mean you won’t find Smith in and around the Westwood area. Especially when there is a bunch of beezies in their panties and bras, bouncing around like basketballs.

We spotted Smith back in June at what would prove to be the last UCLA Undie Run, after the school has decided to cancel the event because it got way too cracking. The decision was due to a large influx of non-UCLA students, like Smith, who take part in the event and linger around the surrounding area following the festivities.

There have been varying incidents associated with the recent tradition due to the continuing growth of the Undie Run from a grassroots, unorganized freedom of expression into a school-controlled spectacle in which thousands take part. Although the Undie Run has technically been eliminated, we have a feeling some crafty students will figure out a way to keep it alive

Pete Carroll And Trojans Clown UCLA

It’s been a tough season for the USC Trojans. After trying to carry the West on their back but coming up way short of expectations, the Trojans got a much needed victory in front of their home crowd. Pete Carroll took the opportunity to clown UCLA and specifically head coach Rick Neuheisel for a questionable move by the Bruins coach as time was winding down in the 4th quarter.

Trailing 21-7, with the Trojans in victory formation, Neuheisel decided to call a timeout with 52 seconds left in the game for no good reason. Considering that Pete Carroll loves rubbing things in and already had a sour taste in his mouth from the Stanford 50-burger 2 weeks ago, his decision to call a (successful) play should have come as no surprise. After Matt Barkley threw the 48-yard touchdown pass, the Trojans sideline erupted, getting some of that swagger back they desperately were missing following losses in 2 of the last 3 weeks and facing the reality of a nasty bowl game.

Even though Carroll’s move may have been somewhat classless, the Bruins reaction, running to the middle of the field like they wanted to get things cracking, was absolutely ridiculous and unnecessary. The team should have shown that type of fight on the field and not acted like a bunch of studio thugs after getting embarrassed. The good news this is a yearly rivalry and guaranteed this game will be remembered come next season.
