In episode 131 of the What’s Bruin Show, we recap three weeks of UCLA Football as it culminates with the Spring Game. We also talked about several Bruins that were taken in the NFL draft.

This episode hosts Bill Shirley, Jake Maryfield and I returned from a three week break to talk about, and only about, you silly football.  Joining us on our return is guest host Jim been that, The Godfather of sports trivia

Spring is wrapped up and with the spring game for UCLA football and it was both  worrisome and promising. The defense looks good but the offense looks like it is in progress. We talk about why this is both good and bad heading into fall.

We then get into it  The NFL draft and the aftermath. Five UCLA football players were selected in the draft while six signed as undrafted free agents.

And how about tackers McKinley? He had the most memorable moment of the three day NFL draft. And keeping his promise to his grandmother, he got very excited when his name was announced.

Was his slip a bad or was it just release of a motion  and how about tackers McKinley? He had the most memorable moment of the three day NFL draft. And keeping his promise to his grandmother, he got very excited when his name was announced. Was his slip a bad or was it just release of a motion?
