The No. 21 UCLA football team (4-0) is on a roll, but the Bruins face their first true test on Saturday at No. 13 Oregon (3-1). UCLA could do the funniest thing if they go to Eugene and get a win for the first time in 22 years.

Jake brings you all the calls from the glorious Maryland victory a week late to celebrate the bye week in style. Apologies for the bad sound ... this show was recorded live from the back of an Avalon river boat shipping out of Amsterdam. Go Bruins!

  • Great show

    I’m a USC fan who listens to What’s Bruin after crushing UCLA losses. I guess you can say I’m a regular listener. I do enjoy the coverage especially crossover episodes with ROT.

  • Funny and thoughtful guys that know how to speak the good and bad of UCLA sports

    Been a longtime listener of the guys and love everything about the show. All the guys are incredibly down-to-earth but can talk intelligently about UCLA Football, Basketball, and some other revenue-generating sports (they occasionally talk about CAL sports as well, given that one of them is an alum). The various segments they’ve created allow for different discussions about sports, but they also throw in some fun discussions about pop culture, family, social media, etc. I hope they plan to expan... more
