name that california golden bear:
what bear has been involved in the most fights/skirmishes during practices this season?
what non rotation bear has been noted by nba scouts during pregame warmups (45 minutes before tip off) for his freak athleticism?
what bear brought a robust 3.5 gpa to cal's diamonds are forever class (2015) which was an integral part of important confidential acceptance negotiations with cal admissions that impacted another key player?
what bear said before the team traveled down under that he was excited but that he didn't know how to speak any australian?
what bear led the pac 12 in the most missed uncontested 5 footers during pregame warmups (yeah, i keep track of that ****)?
what bear did coach christopher tell me unconditionally does absolutely everything he instructs him to so without hesitation & has made major strides in his s&c with the addition of significant good weight/muscle?
yeah, roman davis is gonna bring a much needed bad azz element to next season's team chemistry

I am unimpressed, more accurately, negatively impressed, with the fact that Roman has been in the most fights/skirmishes of any team member in the last year.
Of course, I have no way to know if your assertion about this is accurate. But if it is, it speaks to Davis's lack of discipline and sense, not great attributes for a basketball player.

the cal staff is in discussions with 6'3" 175 lbs potential graduate transfer grant mullins (from burlington, ontario) from columbia university in the ivy league...his head coach kyle smith recently accepted the head coaching position at taylor's dream school, the university of san francisco
other schools involved at this time include michigan, syracuse & hawaii
last season grant averaged 13.3 ppg in 31.1 mpg with a lethal 43.9% on 3 pointers & 83.1% on fts, dude can definitely shoot the rock but can also facilitate with 3.3 apg & contribute on the boards with 3.8 rpg
mullins would benefit from speaking with dwight tarwater re: his experiences as an ivy league grad transfer to the #1 ranked public (#3 overall) university in the world

Our transfer players are from Cornell and Columbia. Oregon's are from halfway houses. Altman is a criminal. Screw Nike.

let's be real here, your just happy with the new manhattan vibe of the cal basketball team that grant mullins in gonna bring out west
NYCGOBEARS;842682415 said:
Yep. Hope he brings that crazy Manhattan energy to Berkeley and it's infectious.
Shocky1;842682424 said:
do you agree with the stereotypes on this map & why isn't lavo restaurant/nightclub specifically listed?
Shocky1;842682363 said:
welcome grant mullins to the #1 ranked public university in the world...and yeah the weather's not too bad either compared to syracuse & michigan
huge props to dwight tarwater for opening the doors for true student athletes from the ivy league to do their graduate work in berkeley, dwight is truly a remarkable young man with a virtually unlimited future
there were times particularly on the road last season that the cal offense stagnated, guys literally couldn't make open shots away from haas pavilion...grant mullins will provide elite firepower with his en fuego shooting skills that will keep the bears out of those fatal funks in what could be another fun season of cal basketball with a team that is more experienced that better understands the mental resolve that is required to become a championship team that makes a deep run in the ncca tournament
grant, just between us, you're probably gonna have to get a haircut in order to not get coach martin, coach webster & coach jones all jealous
another great day in berkeley, do you got your season tix(s) for gamedays starting in november?
this is cal basketball#
NYCGOBEARS;842682427 said:
Generally, it's spot on. Lavo isn't listed as it's become pass. It is no longer the premier douche magnet it once was. Although, I've had my share of fun there. Bagatelle however, is still going strong I hear.

I'm sorry, but did you say *COULD BE* another fun season???
You bet your mutt colored azz it's gonna absolutely be a fun season. Oh yes!

Shocky1;842682457 said:
i'm gonna have to respectfully disagree re: lavo, when grant mullins gets to berkeley we'll let him be the final word on my favorite place on the island for a starter of imperial wagyu carpaccio with a main of lobster fra diavolo, that's true love
in any case, k(rooks) secret crush is alicia keys but no worries for kristy at the krusty krab with kam, that's true love
Shocky1;842678787 said:
grant, will it be a factor in your grad school decision that your sister melissa who played for harvard is now working for a hedge fund in the san francisco bay area & that she could go to all your games at haas pavilion in berkeley?...would missy be the prez of the grant mullins fan club on gamedays?
does it matter that if you select cal that your moms theresa who played for the canadian women's national team & professionally in holland along with dad andy along with marie & mike could then visit both of of you in the beautiful bay area?

what up, grant?
you're racking up the frequent flyer points with visits to syracuse last friday, cal yesterday & today & michigan this wednesday
http://www.mlive.com/wolverines/index.ssf/2016/04/columbia_graduate_transfer_gra.html
but let's be real here, both syracuse & michigan would both be major drops down from an academic perspective after columbia, if you want to work on wall street or in the financial markets in san francisco, los angeles or london you might want to keep that in mind...where do you want to live this summer when you start grad school?

*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
curvy brunette yoga females from academically mediocre schools (like oregon) wanna date & marry cal, stanford & ivy league grads when they leave their school & enter the real world, that's just the way of the world

a big part of a dedicated yoga/meditation practice is knowing who you are
you are my barometer for the cal's monster class, if an uptight middle aged white guy that didn't graduate from cal doesn't like the content, then that means i'm probably successfully connecting with my targeted audience
in the spirit of cal's celebration of free speech, i dunno maybe you could start your own thread with lots of 80s videos & inspirational messages re: living in the sticks far away from the big scary cities
or you could always just ignore the cal's monster class

Technically, yoga/meditation/Buddhism is not about getting to know yourself. In fact, it's the opposite. The traditional teaching is one of "non self" based on impermanence and the lack of a persevering identity. The Buddha would argue that "getting to know who you are" is an illusion and the source of dukkha (suffering). I guess your "target market" isn't Buddhists or serious yogis.
stivo;842682598 said:
At the risk of hijacking the thread (like Shocky would allow that to happen), I'm of the mind that an emphasis of meditation is moment to moment awareness/acceptance of internal and external phenomena. I do believe that this results in getting to know oneself (if the self is a construct that you believe exists). Whether getting to know oneself is a goal of meditation or a side-effect is open to debate.
TheSouseFamily;842682602 said:
I think that's entirely reasonable for certain types of meditation (like non-doctrinal mindfulness meditation similar to what's taught as meditation at Google) or various forms of Hindu meditation (eg mantras) but I was speaking specifically of Buddhist meditation. The yoga has more direct Buddhist roots (mainly), so for a strict adherent, the non-self ideology would be more applicable. That said, yoga and meditation for your body and mind is a great thing and if knowing yourself better is an outcome, that's all good.
