WHO IS READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL? The UCLA Football program has recently announced their plans for Spring practice and just like the actual season, it cannot get here fast enough. Click here for the information on uclabruins.com.

All practices will be at Spaulding Field and are open to the public. An announcement for the location of the Spring Showcase will be revealed in the coming weeks. Seriously though, who does not want to tailgate at the Rose Bowl, even in April?

Here are the time and dates for the set practices:

Tuesday, April 1, 7 a.m.

Thursday, April 3, 4:30 p.m.

Saturday, April 5, 10:30 a.m.

Monday, April 7, 6 p.m.

Wednesday, April 9, 7 a.m.

Thursday, April 10, 4:30 p.m.

Saturday, April 12, 10:30 a.m.

Monday, April 14, 6 p.m.

Wednesday, April 16, 7 a.m.

Thursday, April 17, 4:30 p.m.

Saturday, April 19, 10:30 a.m.

Monday, April 21, 6 p.m.

Wednesday, April 23, 7 a.m.

Thursday, April 24, 4:30 p.m.

SPRING SHOWCASE: SATURDAY, APRIL 26, 5 p.m.

It is interesting that they are not calling it the “Spring Game” considering what we saw last season as opposed to seasons before. Last year, the Bruins did not just warm-up and go at it in a scrimmage, but went through a series of drills and exercises to display what UCLA is doing to prepare for the following season.

Last year we also saw the Pac-12 Network televise the event, so expect that to happen again this year. I am sure they are as eager about football as we are.

If you can make it, go out and support your Bruins!
