Interesting development, did SMC finally agree to a single game contract or will Cal be making a trip out to the 'burbs in the near future?
ob, it's gonna be 2 games at haas pavilion & 1 game at mckeon pavilion

How can I get tickets to that game at McKeon not-quite-a Pavillion?
Packed city, baby!
There will be massive traffic jams down St. Mary's Road, Rheem Blvd., and Moraga Way.

there's around 2 minutes left in the washington state game pac 12 tournament game at the mgm grand & the president of the brenden glapion fan club is nudging me & asking me why her favorite player isn't in the game
so i start screaming from our seats (thx ash & jj) directly behind the cal bench "coach, let's get the walk ons into the game, they work their azzs off all season, let's go"
and then coach martin yells "brenden" & our fearless hero jumps to his feet & runs to the scorer's table
taylor can't believe it, this **** is getting live
and then the cougars defender fouls glapion, all of his teammates rise to their feet & start clapping, he's gonna get 2 free throws
so brenden toes the line, bounces the ball & releases his smooth left handed stroke into the las vegas airspace...the ball rotates perfectly for seemingly forever & then drops thru the bottom of the net...the bears crew are totally fired up & pumping their fists...brandon chauca, a great teammate, comes up from behind the 3 point line & messes with brenden's crewcut
taylor & i are going ballistic...i'm screaming at the top of my lungs, "great shot, brenden, way to go baby...washington high school shooter, let's do this baby, let it fly, let's do this"
brenden bounces the ball, inhales a deep breath & focuses in on his 2nd free throw...he deftly strokes the 2nd free throw & it also drops perfectly thru the basket...brenden glapion has got 2 points in the pac 12 tnt, he's in the history books & now the staff is also smiling broadly and telling the guys to get back on d
i'm still roaring like a golden bear saying lots of stupid **** & high fiving dr danger & his son along with everyone else in our vicinity...taylor & i hug and i almost see a mist of bay area fog in her beautiful green eyes, my daughter is alive & happy sharing a very special moment with her dad
[ATTACH=CONFIG]4412[/ATTACH]
(click for larger image of taylor cheesin it at our golf club in flagstaff)
the stars & the universe are all perfectly aligned at this point in time
as the cal players leave the court, i'm stilling relentlessly clapping & yelling at the tv sideline reporter "interview glapion, interview glapion, talk to the big guy, come on let's roll"...the players are looking at me smiling & i dunno maybe shaking their heads a little bit too because i'm such a dumb azz, we've all experienced & shared something bigger than the game of basketball
did i mention that taylor's dream school is the university of san francisco (she's gotta raise her gpa if that's gonna happen otherwise she's gonna be at her mom's school, asu) & that brenden grew up in san francisco?

after yesterday's basketball practice at haas pavillion, we all walked over to the lunch (no sushi, sorry shocky) in front of dwinelle hall near sather gate...it wasn't the healthiest assortment of foods (probably because coach christopher had the day off) but that's ok i ended up eating on the run near memorial stadium
anyways i got to talk to my 3 favorite former california golden bears plus got to visit with eric mcdonough (a successful attorney in santa monica), michael pitts & anwar mcqueen among others at the event which was coordinated by fellow cal basketball fanatic brian raney
theo robertson, assistant for them world champion golden state warriors, played a key role in the recruitment & development of several of the current bears...theo's future is virtually unlimited with his relentless work ethic
justin labagh, the winningest head coach in the history of college basketball (87% winning record), has got city college of san francisco ready to compete for another california jc state/mythical national championship this upcoming season...2 of his rams shon briggs & jalen canty played in the morning scrimmage & absolutely did not back down in physically pounding with the bears, jalen & young ivee know each other & it got personal
richard midgley, his good looking curvy brunette yoga wife vanessa (cal haas biz school grad like the shockster) & his infant son dominic...sir richard told me his modesto christian crusaders got the fighters to compete for a state of california open division championship now that pain in the azz nemesis young ivee is in berkeley

Shocky1;842525101 said:
the california golden bears staff with huf as the lead recruiter are the 1st major school to actively target miles norris, a 6'8" 180 lbs 2018 big wing from mater dei catholic in chula vista
miles got size 15 feet & is expected to grown a couple more inches...he is smooth with interior dunks, an accurate mid range game & 3 point shooting skills and most importantly, a very high basketball iq which is a coveted trait by the staff...defensively norris uses his elite length to close out on defenders
the gameplan right now is to get miles on campus for an unofficial visit in the very near future
yeah, a 2018 class of marvin bagley iii, jordan brown & miles norris with brandon williams distributing/facilitating would be the cornerstones of a ncca championship team
let's do this#:gobears:
the university of california, berkeley=#1 ranked public university in the world
cal's started at the bottom class (2018)#

*will graduate/graduated from cal joining 2012 grads bak bak, brandon smith & robert thurman
cal fans can expect every player listed above to either leave cal with a degree and/or a nba contract..patrick christopher, justin cobbs & richard solomon all have around one remaining semester of schoolwork necessary to earn their cal degrees...as the wise marco harris once told me, men take care of their business
of the 300+ ncaa d1 bb teams, cal is among the most academically elite programs along with stanford and the ivy leagues most noteably harvard
the above is the MOST IMPORTANT stat sheet in cal basketball
this is the difference between basketball factories that use up & then discard their workers (leaving them unemployable on the streets) in today's highly competitive global economy and legitimate collegiate institutions of higher learning with an academic purpose...if you go to an academically mediocre school like kentucky or arizona & get injured you are ******
academic ambition is a beautiful thing, it will open doors in business after your basketball days are over & help you meet the girl of your dreams (and you're not thinking about it now but it will also help you raise intellectually curious children someday)...you can be limitless mentally

I am sorry if this is over your head. He was born in Israel and played on the Israeli National Team. I was assuming that he is Jewish. He now attends a Christian high school. The same way I feel about Mormon's attending a Catholic high school like De La Salle.
