If Danica & Ashley show up in “Speed Racer 2“, then we might go see it.

John Wooden & Vin Scully don’t usually like being the center of attention (especially when John just wants to watch a UCLA game in peace). But for evening, the legendary Bruins basketball coach & the equally legendary Dodgers broadcaster will be sharing the stage to share stories of their many years in sports service.

“Scully & Wooden For The Kids” will be held June 13 at the Nokia Center in Los Angeles, with all proceeds going to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and Mattel Children’s Hospital at UCLA.

And T.J. Simers says you’re welcome. Read more…

Three was a special number for UCLA Thursday night. The 3rd-ranked Bruins clinched their 3rd-straight Pac-1o regular-season title with a 77-67 OT win over 7th ranked Stanford.

In addition, UCLA set a new regular-season school record by notching their 27th victory of the year. Coincidentally, 27 is divisible by 3 (3 x 9 = 27), as is the 144 total points scored in Thursday’s game (3 x 48 = 144). Weird, eh?

OK, maybe not. But the win does give UCLA the #1 seed in next week’s Pac-10 tournament, and a realistic shot at a #1 seed in the Big Dance.

Such good news should help with John Wooden’s road to recovery.

UCLA has a message of courtesy to Bruins fans packing Pauley Pavilion - LEAVE WOODEN ALONE!

KCBS reports that the 97-year-old Wizard of Westwood keeps being bothered for autographs, when all he wants to do it sit in his favorite spot behind the Bruins’ bench and watch the game.

Wooden’s family requested that John be left in peace, and starting Wednesday, UCLA has implemented a ‘no autographs’ policy in regards to the popular coach.

Besides, the poor ol’ coach has enough on his mind at the moment.

But we do expect one of those “Leave Britney Alone!” video spoofs about this up on YouTube by tomorrow morning. Something like this Tony Romo plea.

Bill Dwyre of the LOS ANGELES TIMES reports on a recent investigation into the UCLA basketball program that has been launched by the NCAA. The target? 97-year-old John Wooden.

“Just before the start of this college basketball season, UCLA received a letter of inquiry from the NCAA, seeking information about possible illegal contact between a recruit and a person representing the interests of the university.

“The recruit was Kevin Love, now the Bruins’ star freshman center.

“The person representing the interests of the university was John Wooden.”
