visited this morning the recently opened nicklaus design group ferry point golf course just outside of nyc with panoramic views of the manhattan skyline
arrive from my hotel by cab at the clubhouse around 7:30 am to stretch & warm up at the practice facility
upon arrival the head golf professional tells me that ferry point's developer donald trump heard that as a golf digest & golf magazine rankings panelist that i had an 8:10 tee time and would i like to play with the donald at 8:20 am instead?
so i say sure, no big deal, let's do this
so we make the introductions on the practice green & the 1st thing i notice is that trump has the weirdest color hair ever (kinda yellow orange) & that he has total man boobs along with an oversized obnoxious red cap
i walk & carry my lightweight leather mackzenie bag while the donald drives a golf cart literally to within 6 inches of every green...just as annoyingly, we then proceed to play thru every group on the golf course in front of us (why does he do this, why not just take the 1st tee time?)...it's funny to watch people's reactions as he dictates the playing thru, some golfers are understandably agitated while others want a selfie with him on their phones, he very clearly enjoys all the drama he's created
so he tells us while we wait for the short par 4 8th green to clear that he thinks ferry point is one of the greatest golf courses in the united states (it isn't, there are at least a dozen courses on long island & the hamptons that are significantly better) & that he's qualified to make that statement because of his extensive travels around the globe playing golf, that nobody knows golf architecture better than him & that includes actual golf architects
so in front of his 2 buddies & his cart caddie i tell the donald that actually i'm one of the 13 guys (and the youngest) to have played the world top 100 courses & stare him down...total silence, one of his buddies who is the chairman of macys starts to laugh & donald play punches my shoulder kinda hard, he's been clown punked...whatever
dude is an interesting guy but playing golf with him is not really a celebration of the game but more like riding a roller coaster
you're fired, shocky#
"they're bringing drugs...they're bringing crime...they're rapists and some i assume are good people"
-donald trump's disparaging comments re: mexicans
to be honest with you when i 1st read these comments i thought trump was talking about criminal dana altman & the oregon basketball program
the fallout from these racist comments is that numerous major corporations including nbc, univision & macys (which is kinda funny because the chairman played golf with us at ferry point) have cut ties with him
you're fired, donald#

you gotta have poise & ball stability to win on the road in hostile venues against top 25 ranked opponents, that didn't happen tonite at the sterile (no collegiate charm) mathew knight arena in eugene...20 turnovers won't win ****
worst game (as a healthy player) dating back to montera middle school in young ivee's basketball days, physically abused by jordan bell (11 of 12 field goals for 26 points) inside on a nite his own shot wasn't falling...fully expect ivan to play like his hair is on fire at oregon state on saturday nite
as been repeatedly stated by me many times before, this isn't a very good passing team as countless open post interior passes were not made because of player indecisiveness and/or lack of passing fundamental skills...the bears are #11 in the pac 12 in assists & this game's 11 assists just confirms that a major flaw of this team is the inability to facilitate & distrubte one another, it's not a matter of guys being selfish at times (which was a limiting factor to the trajectory of last season's team) but it's just not happening right now...watching nick kerr on the bench it's pretty obvious that his opinions/solutions are not being inclusively weighed by the senior coaches on this team
losing to the corrupt oregon ducks basketball organization is like a cut in the blood, the world is not ending but bad azz dontae coleman needs a lot more minutes to get the circulation moving on this fearful looking team, this team plays too candy azz soft at times
and yeah dillon brook's injury is all about karma

Tentativeness in passing is the coaches failure to teach so the players have confidence.

Two years in a row the team can't pass the ball???? Gotta start looking hard at the staff, don't you???
Shocky1;842782966 said:
the cal staff is actively recruiting 2017 (plans to graduate this spring but could potentially defer to 2018) 6'9" 210 lbs grant shepard from british columbia canada (played for the kelowna owls), he's currently playing for the elite montverde academy (ben simmons) in florida...the senior 4 is a late bloomer that played for the canada u17 national team this past summer that competed in spain for the world championship
yeah grant got good hair, he's mobile & crafty around the basket kinda like an already stronger david kravish...watch him hit the floor diving for a loose ball at the 2:17 mark, that tells you a lot about shepard's motor & how badly he wants to compete
[video=youtube;6hHwCRY2V4A][/video]
the staff is hopeful they can bring in grant this spring for an official visit, cali's not freezing azz parka weather like bc
the university of california, berkeley=#1 ranked public (#3 overall) university in the world (including canada)

i dunno but i'm probably the only california golden bear that's been punched by the 45th president of the united states of america...too bad my boyz from crazytown dontae & roman weren't around, we would've jacked trump into the lake, the 3 of us are kinda hard wired that way (we're not candy azz soft)
nope i didn't vote for donald, america doesn't need someone who harbors some racist tendencies in the white house, as a mutt i believe in the social redistribution of wealth thru increased educational opportunities at elite universities for those less represented (but only if they are gonna do all the work that is necessary)
but in all fairness, hilary would probably punch me too if she had the opportunity, she's not exactly a curvy brunette yoga female with a flat stomach

I mean I don't think Washington State is talented enough to stay with us until the end. Is Ernie a better coach than Conzo? Is Conzo under-achieving with this roster after losses to SDSU, Seton Hall and close wins against the Washingtons. Could Conzo possibly have under-achieved last year as well with top prospect Jaylen Brown?

taylor & i power walked from the nines thru chinatown & past a crowd of 100+ non yoga practicing chunkys waiting outside of voodoo doughnuts & then across the steel bridge over the willamette river to the moda center & back again after the 2015 nike hoop summit...them doughnuts sure looked tasty but if kameron rooks can core out, we can too
it should be noted that the game was played with international rules, 2 of the refs spoke to each other in a an eastern bloc language, with very few fouls & pushing on every sequence...also the game was impacted by selfish guard play that dominated the ball
taylor & i sat on the floor behind the basket & yelled at ivan during warm ups "hey ivan, let's do this" (me) & "go to the bears, ivan" (taylor) and he glanced over with a surprised look ("what are they doing here?) and smiled with a quick nod
we also yelled at jaylen brown, he responded with what could be best described as a laughing smirk
players notes:
ivan rabb: not many touches, competed underneath the basket for rebounds & blocked thon maker a couple of times...started the game with a leg brace & then left the game for good after a vicious poke in the eyes
jaylen brown: what an athlete, the best defender in the game with numerous disruptions of passes...offensively drained shots from all over the court ala patrick christopher during warm ups...nba body with a physical & graceful style of play...like ivan, very unselfish in sharing the ball
allonzo trier: followed up his 6-20 shooting at the mcdonalds game with 4-14 shooting at the nike summit...the arizona commit lacks court vision & jacks up the ball without even looking for his teammates, he's gonna shoot the wildcats out of games next season in tucson...life with sean miller is gonna be a rude awakening for trier
luke kennard: the best facilitator on the usa team, the duke commit is an absolute pure shooter with a mature shot selection (9-18 fgs) & much quicker defensively than anticipated
caleb swanigan: plays very physically but still needs major s&c conditioning...his low release point shooting form along with limited hops resulted in several of his shots being blocked by the uber high flying bigs on the world team before he was eventually benched
jamal murray: impressive guard from canada with a relentless basket attacking mode scored a game high 30 points...usa guards most notably allonzo trier played fundamentally weak azz d (reaching with arms, not moving feet) in ineffectively trying to guard murray...the canadian guard from ontario is looking to potentially reclassify from 2016 to 2015 and a nike sr employee told me his dad is leaning towards criminal dana altman's oregon ducks
ben simmons: most well rounded player in the game with 13 points, 8 rebound & 8 assists
skal labissiere: the guy nba scouts like the most from the 2015 class, skal scored 21 points along with 8 boards...the kentucky donor we sat by told me that coach cal told him that marcus lee is gonna return to lexington again next season, gotta have them practice players & that skal may not be cleared by the ncaa
brenden glapion: much to taylor's chagrin, the pride of washington high school dnp...sorry sweetie

Shocky, if you don't think that the Civil Rights marches of the 1950s and 1960s were major factors in majorly accelerating the social changes in this country that had been overdue since its founding, you are sadly mistaken. If you don't think that the "Free Speech" rallies at our school had a major effect on the vast increase in the expression of First Amendment rights in this country, you are also sadly mistaken; and, if you don't think that the anti-Viet-Nam-War rallies and marches were central and necessary in ending that War and making similar misadventures more difficult, you are also wrong [at this point, the Fascists and Neo-Cons who've been able to get this country into some of those Wars have had to be substantially more circumspect and limited, at least in placing our countrymen in harms way to be killed by the tens of thousands; and the fact that there's a long way to go does not mean the goal of preventing such illegal, unwarranted military aggression by our country cannot be achieved by persistence and creativity]. I have the idea of organizing the universal distribution to red-state minds of the specific true facts of the new administrations crimes (especially the economic crimes that hurt the red-state-minded the most) on a daily basis, as they happen, through media instruments of whatever kind especially that specifically speak to red-state minds. I believe that, though it would be a long slog, the force of the persistent truth has the power to prevail, and that it is our responsibility to free that truth from its current boundaries.

mike, after considering carefully your well organized & somewhat rambling (you need to be more like me, i've got the awesome ability to take really complex subject matters & condense them into simple easy to understand messages like "pass ivan the ******* basketball") thesis, i'm now of the point of view that the only thing better than free speech is free yoga
