cuonzo martin has offered vance jackson, a highly skilled 6'7" 200 lbs sharpshooting wing from st john bosco (bryce tregg's hs) in bellflower
jackson is a top 50 2016 player that played well this summer on the aau circuit for belmont shore displaying a more aggressive style of play...the unselfish team player has offers from arizona, defending ncca champs uconn along with most of the pac 12...his dad vance sr has indicated that the family has a preference for their son staying on the west coast
a key factor in vance's recruitment will be his excellent academic track record & ambition
the university of california, berkeley=#1 ranked public university in the world (including southern california)
vance jackson lit it up for 69 points in 4 games in the opening weekend of aau summer ball
it is not known if the jackson family thinks tuscon is a dump or not...i dunno maybe they should made a roadtrip to southern arizona this summer, now that would be a little warm for sure

Hi Shocky!
I don't know if anyone has mentioned this to you before, but I think you're doing the "hashtag" thing incorrectly. The hash character should go before the phrase, which is then generally written without spaces. I.e., #tusconisadump. Just thought you'd want to know.
You're welcome!
ap, thx for the heads up

katie vanilla ice looking for her azz...loved it when when the fake model was slapping the ball/crying (again) to the ref for a foul & my boy sammy singer dangled & handed him the ball while clapping in his face with a huge smile before jogging back to the cal bench for the timeout
24/7 candy azz soft whining/annoying trojan#
new candidate for the 2015 season: arizona's allonzo trier
so taylor & i are sitting on the floor at the moda center for the nike hoop summit watching trier jack up shots without even looking for his teammates...coming off a spectacular 6 of 20 shooting at the mcdonalds game, this guy is unwatchable with zero touches for young ivee, big sauce, etc.
finally in the 3rd quarter he jacks up another wild missed 3 pointer right in front of us & i yell (appreciate this is an all star game with minimal crowd noise) "do you ever pass the ball?" with my arms outstretched like kayne in the final seconds of the diamonds are forever video
my pal allonzo looks over at me (he's 5 feet away) & gives me the dead eyes death stare...guess what dumb azz?...shay & taylor give me that look every ******* time they leave a haute couture clothing store empty-handed
did i mention that trier ended up the game with another magnificent 4-14 shooting?...seriously, this guy is gonna shoot the wildcats out of games next season & get an already depressed sean miller munching on even more of them tasty glazed donuts with fuchsia sprinkles
and then trier makes a nasty anti-cal comment (which has since been modified by him) in response to rabb's commitment instead of congratulating his alleged friend
yeah, i'm kinda looking forward to welcoming allonzo trier to the pac 12...count on it

Way to represent and show him how far reaching Cal fans are
sfb2012, nothing better than experiencing the magic of cal basketball (& fashionable shoes) with those that are closest to you...taylor has blossomed into a fierce bears fan particularly when coach puts brenden in the game...now when i walk in the door instead of asking her "how was school today?" which is pretty sorry azz lame i ask her "what are ivan & jaylen tweeting today?"
if you told me you can watch the last 20 seconds of hoop dream's video in the post above of young ivee's oaktown throwdowns & not wanna buy season tixs tomorrow, i would believe you if you told me you are an ugly azz video game playing heartless zombie (not that there's anything wrong with that, were not here to judge)

Voodoo is an institution up in those parts. They also have a shop in Downtown Eugene and the bacon maple bars are quite popular. In fact, I could swear I saw a guy in yoga togs with a Cal golf bag looking ominously like the shockster, clean out the whole batch of them the last time I was in Eugene. Et tu Shocky?
hey pb, that wasn't me, that was sean miller, he's got some real mental & body issues going on right now
sure hope sean shares with joe yaks some of those glazed bacon donuts or something
arizona got them voodoo academics...you don't gotta read books or **** like that to get a degree in tucson but then when you leave you are ****** unless you're a curvy yoga female in which case you might be able to catch as a boyfriend/husband a cal, stanford or ivy league grad
dancing is always an option too i suppose

Don't be fooled. I've made almost that exact post like 8 other times in this thread.
Looks like Coach Miller is at his playing weight. I doubt he would share. But if he did it might be that jelly-filled donut topped with olives and cream cheese.

kinda doubt coach miller would make it thru the extreme nicodemus s&c workouts, no i don't think he could do that, not at all
but i do believe coach would get 2 dozen of them heart attack hand grenades at the dunkin' donuts on north oracle...he's not in a good place physically or mentally right now that's for sure

Shocky, your obsession with trashing Miller is reminding me of Richard Lee's obsession with Sim of Oregon.
Do you imagine that you are influencing any of the kids you are presumably trying to "educate" with this nonsense?

if you are saying being overweight and unfit somehow hinders a man's ability to coach, then I hate to know what you say about Cal's own Dykes? I could care less how a coach looks and what they eat as long as they win. And to be clear, I don't eat donuts, I eat watermelon for dessert.

Shocky, as expected, you simply attack the person, and don't deal with the content of that which offends you. I take no offence from your fixations.

SB, can't you see a pattern here?
Shocky is a negative recruiter, attacking all other coaches that threaten him.
The number of conference coaches he hasn't gone after is slim, and particularly those with winning records.

Shocky: This is truly a sad yet funny line about donuts.
However, did I ever tell you about the paper route I had in Montclair as a kid? On Sunday mornings (damn, those were heavy on the handlebars!) we kids would meet at the boxes off LaSalle by the 13 freeway at 6am (Oakland Tribune). After the 2-3 hour route hauling as many as we could carry (on Sundays it often required 2 trips to the boxes, especially for a little guy like me, only 10) to the various parts of town (I was up LaSalle, others up Shepherd Canyon, etc.) we'd meet up at Colonial Donuts and eat many donuts. Man, those are fond memories. I mean, the donuts were delicious! Old fashioned glazed, donut holes, buttermilk! Yum!
Your recent repeated photos were really making me want to order a box of those.
But, you know, as I get older, I really do give a f***. I've not only got kids to raise, grandkids yet unborn. But also a future Rose Bowl and Final Four to attend.
Thanks for helping me get there!

Love this CT! I too was paper boy in the bay area in the 70's. In our area, the local cops would buy us all the donuts we could eat and grill us about what was going on in the neighborhood at 5am! A few years later, one of those cops let me slide when he mistakenly thought I was exceeding the posted speed limit - but recognized me as one of the former paperboy-informants.

watermelon, 100% agreed re: coach dykes, he developed some pretty unhealthy eating habits/poor dietary decision making while coaching/living in tuscon...i dunno maybe coach g & huf will start taking sonny to the whole foods on telegraph for some sushi & kale energy juices, maybe then he'll be thinking clearly enough & put 6 tall defensive backs/wide receivers in the endzone to defend the hail mary against them wildcats
[ATTACH=CONFIG]3760[/ATTACH] (click for larger image)
but ask yourself, who would you rather play for: a coach that tirelessly works out next to you in the weight room & relentlessly demonstrates at full speed the basketball drills on the court or a coach with a whistle that is yelling his azz of at you while he's munching down chocolate glazed donuts with fuschia sprinkles?

Similar, cops and donuts....
One of the cops I'd always see at Colonial was a black female, perhaps named Linda Johnson (?).
Last time I saw her was on the news. She had been shot in the hand by a robber or something. She said next time should wouldn't try to talk the guy down but instead would pull her weapon. It was suddenly shocking to both see her on the news - that she got shot - and hear her say this.
She was real nice to us kids! I always wondered what happened to her after that. She seemed more like a nice mom than a cop. I hope she had a nice life after that...

Sadly, many of the roads actually end at funeral homes. Retired population is vast.

You raise a good point. Those Tucson residents have several options in the end...UA basketball, tubes in the orifices, or a long walk into the desert.
Ed Abbey ("Desert Solitaire--'Cowboys'"):
"...Roy is a leather-hided, long-connected, sober-sided old man with gray hair, red nose and yellow teeth; he is kind, gentle, well-meaning, but worries too much, takes things too seriously. For instance, he's afraid of having a heart attack, falling off the horse, dying there on the sand, under the sun, among the flies and weeds and indifferent cattle...he told me so...I listened gravely as he spoke of death, nodding in agreement. I did not feel. His long yellow fingers, holding a cigarette, trembled...no Mormon and not much of a Christian, and does not honestly believe in an afterlife. Yet the manner of death he fears does not sound bad to me; to me it seems like a decent, clean way of taking off, surely better than the slow rot in a hospital oxygen tent with rubber tubes stuck up your body orifices, with blood transfusions and intravenous feedings, bedsores and bedpans and bad-tempered nurses' aides--the whole nasty routine to which most dying men, in our time, are condemned."

When I was a teenager, still in college at UCLA (before and/or during the time I dropped out for 2 years to be a musician, then finished my B.A. in music at Berkeley), I would make jam sessions all over L.A., i.e., South Central, Hermosa Beach, Pasadena, Downey, Pomona, the Valley, Hollywood, Malibu, etc. One night, very late, after a heavy jam session, I was driving home, and I stopped at a Winchell's donuts in Hollywood, and got a "Baker's Dozen" donuts, and finished them before getting back home to West L.A.

I believe there used to be a Colonial Donuts on Grand Ave as well. I remember getting 2 or 3 donut holes for a nickel (or was it a dime?) Anyway, great memories!

15 minutes later as we cross thru a toll sayeed is telling me that toll doesn't automatically charge him, that's gonna be a $5 extra charge...sure sayeed, whatever
