Also - I can hear Charlie Moore, Kameron Rooks, Jordan Mathews, and even Cuonzo laughing from here in my apt in SF. What a disaster - why did we get rid of Braun? He would have stayed and we could have at least been mediocre all these years.

Maybe it is all Marcus' fault.
His "peeps" came on this site and said Marcus' family wanted Cal but Monty blew it with the in-house visit.
Thereafter, Monty retired, with it said that he didn't have the stomach to recruit entitled kids.

Any truth to this web I've just told?

I forgot to add Theo to the list. Braun's sweet sixteen is worth way more than anything Monty did.

Not agreeing or disagreeing, just a nitpick:
Pac-12 championship team won in the first round of the tourney. We were an 8 seed and beat 9 seed Louisville handily. We then lost to 1 seed Duke, by the same margin we beat Louisville by (15).

You're right - but i can bet you we got more national publicity/recognition from going to sweet 16 then the conference championship. Did we even win the Pac-12 tourney? I don't think we did ... it's just really hard for me to be to happy about a pseudo championship.

I am at a sports bar across the street from my hotel in Bakersfield. So I'm gonna ride this one all the way down. Hope everyone else has a nice night.

What's that mean?
Drive home?
Get drunk?
Both?

---

It means I've got nothing better to do than watch this entire game, and I am going to do it.

Here we go - second half!

Monty was a good coach but a ****ty recruiter who retired one year before he retired.

As for Marcus Lee, the whole episode is one of the biggest wastes of time in speculation and hope in the history of Cal basketball.

Ha, yes, I am afraid I have to agree with you.
And seeing as how I was probably THE guy leading so much of the talk for all these years, I do what many politicians should be doing right now, offer you my head on a platter.
Do you cut it off, Yogi Bear?
