    Wow…..I have been listening to Dave for 10+ years. You had to hold back from criticizing a 6-0 team. What is wrong with you. Figure it out.

    As someone who is considered witty and sometimes funny, I cannot roast. Truly. I’ve been left in awe with how so many listeners have roasted so well. I’ve tried throughout my life but what I think is funny inevitably leads to their therapist knowing my name and my mom getting a call. So, I will say I love the insights, banter, and schools’ calls. I don’t like that this made me like a couple of Trojans (ie, Ryan and Lincoln). So, thanks for the laughs and 4sUP! BURN THE EFFIN BOATS!

  • Entertaining

    I used to be a regular listener to the UCLA channel on the 247Sports network. Unfortunately, the hosts from 247Sports network seemed to fire them, so I started looking for a new “go to” reporter.

    I then stumbled into this show. Dave Woods and Tracy Pierson were MUCH better than those on the 247Sports network. David and Tracy, unlike the hosts on the 247Sports network have a great chemistry. Plus they are the definitive experts of all things UCLA sports.

    The only thing the 247Sports network h... more

  • Brilliant analytical mind

    My son and me are USC fans. I went there for six years and my dad went there before me. However, we both agree that Dave Woods is the first podcast we go to after a Bruins football game on Saturday. Yes his sarcasm these days is at its peak over. UCLA’s complete drop into football misery brings that out, but overall Dave’s takes thrill us both. He just gets it. He understands it. I’ve thought of trying to find a way to meet Dave so that I can tell him that he needs an agent because he should be ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

BRO recruiting pod: UCLA gets their 2028 quarterback, new predictions favor Bruins
Q: How much do you think the lack of a 2027 quarterback allowed them to accelerate where they were at with Josiah Boyd?
Biggins says Boyd's coach believed UCLA's lack of a 2027 quarterback helped the recruitment, and he favors waiting on the 2028 prospect rather than adding a quarterback who could disrupt that plan.
BRO recruiting pod: UCLA gets their 2028 quarterback, new predictions favor Bruins
Q: From a fit standpoint, does Boyd potentially fit better given his capability of being that dual threat type guy?
Biggins says both Boyd and Hunter Fujikawa need development, but Boyd may have the higher ceiling and his mobility suits UCLA's quarterback needs.
EMERGENCY POD: Martin Jarmond is Gone, with Ken Graiwer
Q: What does this leadership change mean for UCLA's fundraising and donor engagement?
The shift is framed as unlocking previously constrained donor potential by aligning athletics with a more professional, revenue-driven structure, which should improve NIL funding, facility improvements, and broad donor participation.
Recruiting Pod: Camp, 7-on-7 Recaps, Official Visit Preview
Q: How is UCLA leveraging its west coast location to attract top recruits?
UCLA is actively hosting camps and unofficial visits around the Dead Period, using local events and the LA area to provide constant opportunities for players to engage with coaches, which helps convert interest into offers and commitments as players evaluate several programs.
Recruiting Pod: Camp, 7-on-7 Recaps, Official Visit Preview
Q: What were some of the key takeaways from the 2028 and 2029 coming-on-campus visitors?
The big takeaways were that players valued the campus environment, the personal time with coaches, and the chance to see UCLA's facilities and surrounding atmosphere, which helped UCLA position itself as a leading option on their calendar. The staff's ability to coordinate multiple visits in a busy period stood out as a major strength.
