For most of David Shaw’s tenure with the Cardinal, the Bruins have been Stanford’s punching bag. But Chip Kelly broke that 11-game streak with last year’s win over the Cardinal. Now, the Bruins will look to win their second straight over Shaw’s team.
This looks to be another close game and, frankly, that should scare the crap out of Bruin fans after last weekend’s defeat against Southern Cal which was snatched from the jaws of victory by poor special teams play and bad coaching decisions.
Game Time Weather Forecast
It will be a be another Chamber of Commerce day and night today in Pasadena. It will be sunny and the temperature will be about 68° degrees at kickoff. Sunset will occur at 4:46 pm, right about the end of the first quarter.
It will cool off a little as the game progresses. The temperature should be about 63° around halftime and will drop to around 60° or possibly the upper 50s by the end of the game.
The Mighty Bruin Zoom Party
We are also excited to announce that we will try something new today for the Stanford game. We will be continuing our first The Mighty Bruin Zoom Party! We kicked it off during the basketball game against Ohio State and we’re going to keep it going during this evening’s football game. So, if you’re watching the game and want to virtually meet up with some fellow Bruin fans, join our Zoom meeting! Here are the deets:
The TuneIn player won’t embed here on Substack, but you can open another tab to listen to Josh Lewin and Matt Stevens call this morning’s game rather than having to listen to the insufferable Beth Mowins, analyst Kirk Morrison and sideline reporter Tyler McGregor. So, be sure to right-click on it so that you can open up another tab and have it going while you chat in the comments below. Listen to today’s game online.

This is your Stanford Cardinal at UCLA Bruins game thread.
I posted an article on Bruin Nation about 5 years ago titled "Embrace the Mediocrity". I went back to my first year at UCLA. Looks like I can add another chapter.
Does anyone care about the CFP? I was very pleased to see ND get smashed by Clemson, but they precious Irish will probably still get gifted an invite. Same with tOSU who cheated their way in and squeezed by a decent but not great Northwestern team. I would love to see Cincy and Coastal Carolina get a shot but that won't make enough money for the networks, so I figure we'll get 4 of the usual 5 or 6 suspects, and so my interest is a lot less.
Da fuq I'm watching MMA on ESPN for??
Our Saturday TMB Zoom party continues! Come join us!
Oh crap, Felton not playing!!
Great block by the ref!!
DTR Regressing
Go Bruins! Denver is getting boat raced so I have the TV back.
We're still giving up HUGE cushions on D
Going to miss Felton.
So where was that option play last week??
Great protection by the O line last play, giving lotsa time to DTR to find open man
Riding with DTR today. Offense lacks speed.
Touchdown!!!
Flag on that TD run by Fernea :-(
The referee’s fingers. 😳
Still a problem with the missed tackles!
Geez. This is looking like every Stanford game ever.
Get rid of Chip Kelly now. The team looks unprepared and uninspired.
And DTR with a couple nice decisions and throws.
It's just a consistency thing...
Special Teams showed up
We're butter tonight.
This is painful to watch
Looks like we are playing short handed today.

Punting from our 33?? Really?
We will miss Felton next year, but I really like Brown a lot.
That doesn’t look good.
FUUUCCCKKK!! DTR being helped off the field
Oh that right ankle...
stuffed.
Hope DTR is ok.
Sigh. A hundred sighs.
For a team that’s been on the road for 19 days Stanford looks a lot more motivated.
Looks like I can free up space on my DVR.
Good to see DTR walking on the sideline.
OUCH! they just trucked Knight!
Well, 30 minutes for Chip to show if the team really turned around in 2020 or not.
Can we decline an invite to the second half?
Half: Stanford 20 - U.C.L.A. 3
And it isn't that close.
Looks like teams may boycott the Rose Bowl
The only positive I can take from this game is that it exposes how badly inconsistent our D is, and puts focus on how fuckin' bad Azz is
Trevor Lawrence to the Jets

Wow Jimbo Fisher made Texas A&M relevant in 2 years heavy sigh
Did you guys see the hit on that Gator? I'm still sore just from watching it!
BTW I will never root for a Gator to win anything...
