We'll always have Paris


Back in the day, I posted the above phrase more-or-less randomly during
basketball-game-threads.

Meanwhile,

I've been silently following the (mis)fortunes of CAL's football and basketball teams.
Well, to be honest, I also follow the swim teams......which is somehow more fulfilling.


GO BEARS!!!

I know this is a men's basketball forum, but it is a shame Cal women's basketball couldn't get the Paris twins.....

Nice guy

I've been wondering where you have been. Did you go into a program for internet addiction? I'm still in it's clutches, bruh.

The best players on the 2004-2005 team, based on the advanced stats, were 1. Rod Bentsen and 2. David Paris

I wished David Paris played for football for Tedford. 6'9" 260 he would have been an great TE blocking for Marshawn Lynch or catching Aaron Rodgers' TD passes to beat SC and going to and winning the National Championship. He'd be a Cal legend.

And the Paris twins would have come to Cal.

I don't think he was even listed at 6'9" by Cal. (Yes, I saw the height listed in the link, but seriously.)

That'd be a nice where-are-they-now story: David, Ashley and Courtney

He is listed as a coach for the Modesto Slam n Jam:

David spent much of his young basketball career playing with Modesto Slam-N-Jam where he developed into one of the best big men in the area. He participated in the prestigious Nike All-American Camp. He was the 2002 Modesto Bee All District Most Valuable Player and nationally was named to the ESPN Top 100. He earned a full scholarship at UC Berkeley and finished his collegiate career at Bowie State in Maryland. He played professionally oversees in Portugal (team MVP) and Israel (2 time all-star).

Nice family! Bubba must be proud.

I think the OP was referencing Paris Austin.

He was, but then there was a digression to the Paris Twins and David.

Paris Austin got his Cal degree last year. I remember an article saying he was going to pursue playing overseas and then become an Oakland firefighter.

You're actually pretty close. I put my mathematical background to good use in a "facility" quite similar to
Shawshank Prison.

You too can escape,

Lord, it's a miracle! A man up and vanished like a fart in the wind.

GO BEARS!!!

Terri lands top recruits and they compete and win.

The only thing that can save me is a BANNED FOR LIFE! email like I received from the Daily Mail and Reddit (the gun, knife and pit bull communities there simply lack a sense of humor. I was just teasing them),

Remember his last game? In a win over Furd, Paris totally outplayed their hotshot PG?

Oakland Firefighter.......good for him. Maybe Marshawn will (If he isn't already) become an advisor.


GO BEARS!!!

~ Come back to the 5 & dime, OaktownBear, OaktownBear . . . , most insightful and lucid poster on BI, peut etre . . .

Go Paris! Wouldn't be surprised if he has a rapid rise in the OFD ranks. Hope the program maintains a relationship with and supports him.
