Bio:
A podcast by some Bruin alums who have an unhealthy obsession with UCLA sports. Sometimes being a UCLA fan feels like insanity. Disappointment and loss, year after year… Despite that, we still believe UCLA has the richest athletics tradition and history in the country and we want help engage the Bruin community around it. As alum, we have strong opinions, might not always agree or even have the correct take, but above all else, love UCLA. We hope Bruins and beyond enjoy the show!
