Advertisement May entered the game in the second inning and protected UCLA's lead, giving up three runs in five innings. "His line doesn't completely tell you the story with his two earned runs at the end of the game, but I don't think we'd be where we were tonight without Ian," UCLA coach John Savage said.

Popular local college bar closing after 50 years
What is it that makes college bars so nostalgic? Even though they tend to be a bit, um, dingy and downright smelly, there's just nothing quite like that favorite hangout spot. For me it was Barney's Beanery in Westwood. When my UCLA Bruins were not playing at the Rose Bowl, you'd find my friends and me at Barney's, clapping our way through the games. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter I'm not going to age myself, but back then, the Bruins were a football powerhouse. Now they've abandoned the Pac-12, and for fans of West-Coast college football, things may never be the same. But I digress. It's a hard time to be a restaurant or bar owner, no matter where you're located. As many as 20% of restaurants and bars close within their first year of business, but even spots that have been around for decades aren't immune. The College Inn Pub in Seattle has been a University of Washington hangout in Seattle for 50 years, a favorite pre- and post-game spot where alumni mingled with college kids (all over age 21, of course) to cheer for their Huskies and reminisce about glory days. The pub - originally called Ye College Inn - is steps from campus and situated in one of the last remaining 1909 Alaska Yukon Pacific Exhibition structures still standing in the city. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The College Inn Pub has been for sale for a year, but with no one stepping forward to continue its legacy, the owners decided to close the doors. Related: Iconic Las Vegas Strip eatery permanently closes after long run The beloved local pub took a huge hit during the pandemic, when it was closed for 16 months but reopened with high hopes. Surviving for another decade was just not in the cards. In a statement, co-owner Jen Goyer said: She further explained how those challenges were exacerbated: In this day and age, if you aren't able to make online ordering easy, it's difficult to survive, even with in-house entertainment like darts and a pool table. Beloved college bars shutting down is part of an ongoing trend of restaurants and bars closing up, even those that have had historic runs.

Allston's near Boston University closed in 2024, as did The Graduate in Oakland, popular with UC Berkeley students, and the list goes on. Related: National fast-food burger chain wants to close 76 restaurants There are many reasons for the closures, including the cost of real estate adjacent to college campuses. Plus, college bars are known for having lots of options when it comes to beer, but not so many when it comes to fancy cocktails or mocktails. Perhaps it's a sign that the days of the college dive bar are behind us? So pour one out for The College In Pub in Seattle. Its last day of service is June 15, 2025.

UCLA Makes Surprising Quarterback Move on Wednesday
The UCLA Bruins struggled in their first year in the Big Ten, going just 5-7, marking their first losing season since 2020 and 3-6 in conference matchups. However, they've had a very busy offseason, led by head coach DeShaun Foster, where they have brought in a total of 20 players from the transfer portal, for a class that ranks No. 11 in the nation, per On3. Advertisement Of course, the biggest of that group is quarterback Nico Iamaleava, who spent last season with the Tennessee Volunteers and was ranked as the second-best player to hit the portal this cycle. However, they made another interesting move on Wednesday, flipping Ole Miss transfer quarterback Pierce Clarkson, who has been with the Louisville Cardinals the past two seasons. Coming out of high school in the class of 2023, On3 Industry Rankings placed Clarkson as a four-star recruit, the No. 26 quarterback and the No. 395 player in the nation. However, his time with the Cardinals has been extremely lackluster, appearing in three games and completing 4-of-6 passes for 18 yards, zero touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Advertisement Clarkson is also the third quarterback UCLA has added through the portal that will be with the team next season, which of course includes Nico, and his younger brother, Madden Iamaleava, who will be a true freshman. Louisville Cardinals quarterback Pierce Clarkson (10).Jordan Prather-Imagn Images With Nico undoubtedly getting ready to be the starter in 2025, it's hard to imagine that Clarkson transferred in with the idea that he would see much time on the field, so he will have to wait at least a year on the bench. That means that he's not only banking on Nico entering next year's NFL draft but also on his ability to beat Madden in a positional battle for the starting role in 2026.
