Triple-digits in the Valley, not that much better in Westwood — The Bruins don’t have to practice in San Bernardino to feel the heat. They are sweating away right here in town, or so we must believe, since for the first time in years, practice is closed to the public. There isn’t even a Fan Appreciation Day this Fall, or the usual annual chance for kids to get autographs from the players. I’m not thrilled about missing out on this photo op, but if it helps Chip Kelly get this program to the elite level, FINE.
Without being able to see practice, there are only a couple of things I want to mention in relation to UCLA Sports today.
