Posted by Rdbruin on 3/28/22 at 9:32 am

If the victim of a misdemeanor crime like PC 242 - Battery does not want prosecution, cops walk away 100 out of 100 times. PC 243(e)(1) - Domestic Battery and PC 273.5(a) Corporal injury on spouse or co inhabitant are different and are covered under the domestic violence laws. Even then the misdem...

I'm 6'2 200 lbs and fit fine in the third row, is tight but for drives to dinner, movies, less than 2 or 3 ...

re: Check out UCLA's helmets this weekend

Posted by Rdbruin on 11/13/15 at 9:28 am

The frog skeleton is a recognized symbol of fallen US Navy SEALs. UCLA was allowed to use it. Since Mora has started coaching at UCLA they either train with the SEALs or do one of the SEAL events, like the Murph Challenge. Not really long standing but I guess consistent with Mora? The Uniforms a...

UCLA was good in the 70s, very good in the 80s, average for most of the 90s with the 98 and 99 seasons being very good, and atrocious for the 00's, worst decade of UCLA football. UCLA won two Rose Bowls, went to three in the 80s, and won the pac-12 5 times. You can't say we were bad in the 80s...
