Bruins Illustrate Success at Pac-12 Media Day
Check out the lighter side of Pac-12 Media Day in this behind-the-scenes video from the Pac-12 Networks.
Cornhole!
No media day is complete without a friendly game of cornhole. Brett Hundley and Eric Kendricks beat Jim Mora and Ashley Adamson of the Pac-12 Networks.
And the Winners Are ...
Okay, so it wasn't really a contest. But if it were, the drawing made by UCLA's Eric Kendricks and Brett Hundley (contributor) blew away similar efforts by other Pac-12 coaches and student-athletes on Thursday.
Jim Mora on LB Eric Kendricks today: "Like if my daughter dated him and married him, I'd be fine with that. He's got nice hair."

Photo Booth
Bruin players Brett Hundley and Eric Kendricks had some fun with Ashley Adamson of the Pac-12 Networks.
Jim Mora on Brett Hundley: "I can tell you unequivocally he's a first round pick. He will be a star in the NFL."

Q: Are you planning the San Diego retreat again?
Jim Mora: Retreat? That's a nice way of putting it. Three days with Navy SEALs is a retreat? No, we're going right to San Bernardino and we're going to get to work. We've done that. Can't do it every year or it loses its impact."
Taking the Stage
Jim Mora, Brett Hundley and Eric Kendricks had their chance to speak with Curtis Conway, Rick Neuheisel and Mike Yam of the Pac-12 Networks on Thursday.

Eric Kendricks may be the most underrated player in the entire @pac12. When he plays @UCLAFootball is much better. #UCLAVoice #GoBruins
