No one in the history of the human race has sweat as much as Patrick Ewing.

SKJ has to be the biggest bust we've ever had here, including Skal. The guy seriously might as well not even exist. His lone highlight for the year is his reaction to a Willis dunk while on the bench.

He's played 96 minutes the entire year. EnG has played 42. I get on Humphries a lot, but SKJ is pathetic.

[eyeroll] Okay Booker.

Jesus Christ...before Cal, it was an 80% chance a 6'11 beanpole wasn't going to be factor or leave the bench in college basketball as a freshman (on a good team, at least)...and still happens at good clip elsewhere.

Dude is a 4/5 man, and playing behind Gabriel & Willis at one spot, and Bam/Izak at the other.

Cal prefers to play 7 or maybe 8 dudes, and he's not one of them this year. Yep, he's done -- biggest bust of all time. Heaven forbid we get a few players now and then who progress at a normal pace.

Lost some music in iTunes from some old CDs I had burned years ago and had to re-buy some classics. Thanks to iTunes telling me the release dates upfront, kinda shook me this morning to see that Enter the Wu Tang (36 Chambers) is effing 24 years old.

So there's kids most of the way through law school that were being born when I was first bringing the ruckus.

Brice Johnson averaged 2 minutes and 1 ppg more than SKJ as a freshman for UNC -- 2nd biggest bust of all time.

That's one example of hundreds.

Who knows whether he'll end up being really (or any) good, but it's sure as hell too early to call him a bust.

Used to work with a guy that stayed jacked up all day long on Red Bulls and energy shakes. Would literally sweat through his suit by lunchtime and had to put on a clean suit after his midday workout. Dude lives in San Antonio now, so I hope he wears a polo.

AY Matt just wanna call and say what a buss that Suck Eye Jones was.

Ended up watching the game with a sizable crew at Wildcat Saloon, game sound on big screen no wait on beers, apps from Cheapside. Nice last minute set up for a very large crew.

I absolutely loathe the way we manage any leads in the Cal era.

So, while investigating the rape allegations, police found a glass pipe with residue in Bragg's room. On top of him allegedly smacking around a girl who declined to press charges.

Bad look for Self if he lets him play again this year.

The lack of defense is maddening. The one play that flat out floors me is when the other team's guard drives tossing up an already heavily contested shot. Despite this one of our bigs feels the need to try to block a shot which the only player on the planet who could possibly get to is Anthony Davis opening up the easy offensive board and put back for the player our big should have been boxing out. I want to throw a remote every time.
Easily my biggest Cal pet peeve and I'm a complete Cal homer apologist. But, putting such an emphasis on blocks drives me crazy. Stay at home, make Mason hit a driving one handed layup over Fox...no, we get Bam or Gabriel flying at him as well ===> easy tip drunk for Lucas.

I can deal with road losses to SEC scrubs playing out of their gd minds (**** happens, has always happened and always will happen), neutral court showdowns and even Louisville in Yum but losing not 1 but 2 marquee home games where both teams are highly ranked is gd unacceptable. Look at the history it doesn't happen often at all. And yet this team has managed to do it twice while giving up leads and squandering multiple chances to run away with it and have impressive victories. :mad:

This is why this team has ZERO chance at a 1 seed like many of you think they do. The resume of this team is a neutral site win over UNC and......... nothing. 1-3 vs the top 10 with the 1 win being a miracle isnt the resume of a 1 seed. Adrian's Louisville team has a much better resume than this team does, as do many other teams who have more than 1 quality win.

Lee, Dakari, Orton, Skal all a thousand times better than SKJ at this point in their freshman year.

- 0-2 and the stomach flu...glad I'm onto a new week.

- I guess that's just another example of the lack of separation this year, but everyone's UNC crush is perplexing when actually watching them a bit. Miami- hardly a great team- just bitchslapped them. Tech beat them up, too.

- I'm with Wodie on Louisville. Like them as much as anyone right now.

- Monk's going through a bit what Murray went through in December- trying to figure out what Cal wants regarding driving verses shooting. He'll figure it out.

- Booker's on IGNORE. He turns into a damn Rafters poster after any loss. F that.

That money line play was very tempting on Saturday. Not judging those who do but I just cant stomach it.

Pay for the win, doggy.

Was up a nice amount ($300) on the week heading into the game, so took half of that and bet Kansas ML...we win, it's a nice $150 week w/ another signature win -- we lose, which we did, and it's a $700 week which eases the butthurt a little. #profit.

I do that **** all the time.


-Got a Thank You card in the mail from wildcatchad (lol wut?). :) The female influence is palpable, folks.

Was Gabriel sick or suspended on Saturday? Haven't seen anyone mention his absence yet.

I've always sent thank you cards- you have just never done anything nice for me before.


Probably won't again either, so enjoy.


...and you didn't send me **** for my Thera-Gesic Xmas present I gave you back in '05.
