DBD 3.9.09 Oaktown Mario is a lone voice, speaking an inconvenient truth

PrintIt cannot have been easy for him to stand as a lone voice. A lone voice against the brutal inanity that is "The Big Lebowski." Yes, I said it. I went there.
At a time when it would have been so easy for him just to fall in line against the violent hordes comprising the Lebowski Cult. It would have been so easy for him to just to live his life based on lies. But OaktownMario is not that kind of man. Even if he had to flee to the tundra wasteland of CGB North to fight another day, he did it with dignity and heroism. He fought back against the Politburo Party Line of "Lebowski=Funny" before anybody else was. And now he is organizing the underground resistance. Now, he continues the fight!

Before he had to take refuge amongst our stupider brethren to the North, he warned me not to believe the agitprop of the Lebowskiers. He warned me that they would try to control CGB by controlling me. Heavy hangs the head that wears the Crown. There was only one way I could figure out who was telling the truth.
I heroically rented "The Big Lebowski." And after viewing the first hour of it, I can attest to you that OaktownMario is a TRUE AMERICAN HERO!
We can't let the Lebowskiers continue their horrible march to power. With every passing moment, they become stronger and stronger. You are either with us or against us.
Lebowski is to "comedy" what the Mafia is to crime. But its goal is not making money. Its goal is remaking the world and imposing its radical beliefs on people everywhere.
The Lebowskiers practice a fringe form of extremism that has been rejected by scholars and the vast majority of clerics; a fringe movement that perverts the peaceful teachings of The Dude.
The terrorists' directive commands them to kill Christians and Jews, to kill all Americans and make no distinctions among military and civilians, including women and children.
This group and its leader, a person named CBKWit, are linked to many other organizations in different countries, including The Maharg and ZooNews.
"No, Donnie, it is in fact, you, who is out of their element. via www.theodoresworld.net
There are thousands of these Lebowskiers in more than 60 countries. They seek to control the CGB Crown. They will stop at nothing to press their pro-Lebowski agenda. Whether its quoting the horrifically unfunny movie, continuing to quote the horrifically unfunny movie, or making fun of people who have yet to quote the horrifically unfunny movie, they always have a trick up their sleeve.
But this is what I say to you, reasonable denizens of CGB. WE NEED TO FIGHT! WE NEED TO FIGHT AGAINST THE CULT OF THE DUDE!
Aye, fight and you may die. Run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may bore us with their terrible taste in movies, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!
Americans are asking, "How will we fight and win this war?" We will direct every resource at our command -- every means of diplomacy, every tool of intelligence, every instrument of law enforcement, every financial influence and every necessary weapon of war -- to the destruction and to the defeat of the global Lebowski network.
From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support Lebowskiers will be regarded by the CGB as a hostile regime. Our nation has been put on notice, we're not immune from attack. We will take defensive measures against terrorism to protect Americans.
Stand with me, CGB. Stand with me against everything the "comedy" "The Big Lebowski" stands for. You are either with us or against us. Make your decision, CGB.
Women's basketball beats Arizona:
BERKELEY (AP) -California senior forwards Devanei Hampton and Ashley Walker weren't about to lose their final game at home.
Hampton scored 12 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, and Walker added 11 points Saturday, helping ninth-ranked Cal beat Arizona 51-48 and snap its two-game losing streak.
"That's what seniors do," Cal coach Joanne Boyle said. "They know what's on the line for them. When they need to, they buckle down. Dev had 10 boards tonight, 10 defensive boards. Every one of those boards we needed down the stretch."
Natasha Vital added 12 points for Bears (24-5, 15-3) in their Pac-10 regular-season finale. They earned the No. 2 seed in the upcoming conference tournament and beat Arizona for the seventh straight time.
Ify Ibekwe led Arizona (11-18, 4-14) with 21 points and 13 rebounds. She gave the Wildcats a scare when she hit the floor in pain, clutching her left knee with 15:05 left in the game. But Ibekwe, who missed two games last week with a knee injury, stayed in the game.
Hampton and Walker, playing in the final home game of their careers, helped Cal overcome a 23-20 halftime deficit and break out of its offensive slump.
The two combined for a 9-0 run helping Cal take its first lead of the game - 29-26 - on Hampton's three-point play. Walker's basket made it 35-26 with 10:15 left.
The Bears extended the lead to 44-30 on Walker's 3-pointer.
Postgame Quotes:
"It's a nice way to end the regular season, putting an end to our season on a good note and starting to focus on the Pac-10 tournament. That is a whole other season for us. To come out on senior night and find a way to win. This is what tournament play is going to be like for us, having to go and grind out games. We're used to that. I think there were nerves and a lot of emotion for senior night. We found a way to win and that is what is most important."
"I think we just settled down in the second half. We had a little bit of a run. That gave us some confidence and momentum. We kept telling them at time outs. This is our push. We've got to keep going at them. Everyone contributed tonight to make that happen. Trell (Shantrell Sneed) gave good minutes. Casey (Morris) gave good minutes. We needed everybody. Dev had ten defensive boards tonight, and we needed every one of them. You have to find a way to win, and we did."
"They went on a run in the final three-four minutes. They went to their horns play, a quick ball screen, and we didn't adjust. They scored a couple of quick buckets off that. Down the stretch, though, that last minute, we did what we needed to do defensively and we got the win."
"This team always finds a way to win. We had two losses back-to-back. What makes it more dramatic, is when they happened. They happened back-to-back, which we haven't done in a really long time (since the 2005-06 season) and they happened at the end of the season. If you have a loss at the beginning of the season and the middle of the season, everyone just moves forward. But back-to-back and the end of the season, we've got a lot at stake. And we played like that. For us to come in tonight and find a way to win, it says a lot."

Womens Lacrosse beats UC Davis:
BERKELEY – Junior midfielder Alex Tickner, the reigning MPSF Player of the Week, scored a career-high five goals to lead California past UC Davis, 13-6, in an MPSF match on Sunday at Memorial Stadium in Berkeley. The Golden Bears improved their record to 4-3 (2-0 MPSF). The Aggies dropped below .500 at 2-3 (2-3 MPSF). Cal ran its record in the all-time series with UC Davis to 15-4.
“I was really happy with how we came out this game,” Cal head coach Theresa Sherry said. "We had a couple of slow starts in the past few games, so it was good to explode right onto the field and take control of the attack. Our defense looked good at the beginning of the game.
“We’re still looking to put together a consistent 60 minutes together, maybe with less fouls and more discipline in the defense and the midfield ride, but overall I was really happy with the team effort we put forth as well. I think every single person contributed today in a positive way.”
Tickner collected four of her goals in the first half, when six Bears combined to score Cal’s nine goals. She also scored a career-high five points against UC Davis.
“Alex has really been working on going hard all over the field and she did a very good job today taking her one on one opportunities, taking that extra second to think before she shot,” Sherry said. “She really did a good job finishing. In the midfield, she really did a good job on both ends, especially the attack.”

Article on mens gymnast:
While some students say they’ve always wanted to attend to the University of California, Golden Bear student-athlete Kyson Bunthuwong has proof.
All he has to do is point to a fifth-grade essay assignment that required him to write about his future plans. Bunthuwong’s reasoning was that Cal was the “it” place to be and that the Bear was the best mascot.
Bunthuwong gained young exposure to Cal gymnastics, going to home meets as a child and enjoying Bears wins over Stanford from an early age.
Despite his early prediction, when the recruiting season came, Bunthuwong’s final choice came down to two schools: Cal and Stanford.
“It was literally one of the hardest decisions of my life but in the end I choose Cal,” said Bunthuwong, now a senior. “I love it here, and I felt like I could thrive more here. The atmosphere is great and the people are very diverse, too. It just felt more at home here.”
Bunthuwong had his introduction to gymnastics at age three when his grandmother took him to classes, and he began fully participating in the sport competitively when he was eight-years-old. He has since channeled his natural ability into a first-class career at Cal, noteworthy forays into national and international competitions, and he hopes to continue with gymnastics following his graduation this spring.

Cal football players participate in wheelchair bball
LINK
This year, each of the 24 teams playing in the Roll ‘n Shoot was required to raise at least $250 to enter, and Cal football coach Jeff Tedford ponied up the money for his players’ entry. The football players rotated in and out, the rest sitting in bleachers playing cheerleader. “I’m appreciating that hustle!” one of them called out.
Quarterback Kevin Riley said he thought wheelchair basketball was harder than football, but tight end Skyler Curran disagreed.
“I’m still going to have to go with football – it has more rigorous practices,” he said. He should know, having taken a one-unit wheelchair basketball P.E. class and inspiring his teammates to give the tournament a try.
“It’s tough, it’s difficult,” he said of the sport. “You earn a little respect for the people who can operate the wheelchairs as well as they do.”

Common criticism

Arrested Development is funny and I’m definitely hooked on it.

JAI HO!
There are enough random things in the background to pay attention to that I would not recommend this.
If you don’t catch the things, you can still enjoy the show. But there are so many intricacies that are out there, for optimal viewing it requires full attention.

I lift a lot and obviously you use music for that.
But running, as necessary as it is, is boring as hell. I can’t get myself to run (or bike or do anything cardio related) for more than ten minutes, even with music. And now I’m going to start cutting, which means cardio basically every single day. I need something to push me through this.

Agreed. I can only run if I’m outside since I actually have things to look at while I’m moving. I’d be bored to death running at a gym.

Actually, I have a real suggestion: Rome. One of the best shows I’ve ever seen, epically entertaining, and only 2 seasons. While you do need to pay attention to the dialogue to really understand the plot, technically you’ll still be entertained even if you don’t because the next scene could very well involve rape with goats or biting out another person’s tongue in a battle.

Buffalo Bills running back Marshawn Lynch has recently purchased retired Bills quarterback legend Jim Kelly’s mansion, according to the Buffalo News, which cited sources familiar with the transaction.
…
Per the article, Lynch’s new dwelling is a: "4,800-square-foot custom-built home has everything a professional athlete needs. In addition to a poker room, bar with walk-in cooler and dance floor, home theater, office suite, workout studio and bocce court, it also features a museum-quality trophy room where Kelly’s collection of football memorabilia had been on display. The five-bedroom home, situated on a full-acre lot, has an additional three-bedroom suite on its basement level."
IMPORTANT UPDATE: According to radio station 97 Rock, Jim Kelly said the article is not correct and he has denied that he sold his house to Bills running back Marshawn Lynch.
Per the radio station, Kelly said: "Marshawn is not moving in."
Kelly plans to make a radio appearance Monday morning to address the report.

Random movie
I saw “Fired Up” last Friday. Suprisingly entertaining but I suppose I had zero expectations going in. My 12 yr old daughter wanted to see it because it was centered around cheerleading but also knew it had a major stupid factor written in. It’s definitely a renter for most of you but if anyone has ever had relative involved in cheer, it might be worth a look. My favorite part was when the whole cheer camp (300+) was watching “Bring it On” and were mouthing the words in unison while the movie played in the background. That absolutely killed me…

I’m torn about Watchmen. Truly groundbreaking (arguably top 5 in “Importance among comic geeks”) when it was published I’m not sure how it’ll translate to a movie.
Fired Up was all that we could even remotely agree on and it was a lot funnier than I expected. I like stupid humor and the plot is non existant but it was entertaining. A lot of what I found funny was the non stop ripping of the cheer culture so I like said, not worth it for everyone.

I enjoyed it (having read the comics about 6 months ago) as did AndBears (who’s never read them). About as good a movie as I think could be expected, given the time constraints. I think it would have been really awesome as a 6-part miniseries. So much backstory, and yet, of course, they had to leave so much out.
Rorschach was the best part, though the Comedian was pretty well done, and even if the Nite Owl is lame, the casting of his character I thought was really good. Thought Ozymandias kinda sucked, and coulda used more development, but oh well. Fight scenes were reminiscent of ‘300’, obviously, but they weren’t distracting, which is more than I could say for some of the musical selections (‘heavy-handed’ only begins to describe some of it).

In a speech on senior night last week, Paris said that if the third-ranked Sooners don’t win the title, she’ll give back her scholarship money, valued at close to $64,000, according to a story in The Oklahoman.
“I have a passion for our fans and university, and I want to do something special,” Paris said, according to The Oklahoman. “That’s why I put my scholarship on the table. I meant what I said.”
BASKETBALL.

Courtesy Sir KenCraw:
Tedford spoke at an awards ceremony for the best Sacramento-area player. WW was chosen this year.
Some nuggets:
-When asked about putting both Best and Vereen in the backfield, Tedford reminded the crowd that neither is well suited to be lead blocker. While he would entertain more plays like that, it wouldn’t be plays where they were expecting them to take on someone like Williams, the man of the evening.-Going further, he felt that the SAHPC won’t bear its full fruit until recruits can actually walk inside and see it.-Tedford spoke of the benefit of having USC early, even though it was going to be an uphill battle with two tough non-conference games and Oregon on the road just before the USC game.-Overall it was one of the most candid appearances of Tedford’s career. He was willing to admit the struggles but also to talk about the hope for the future. He talked about the areas of weakness on the team but also how there was overall much strength.
A fresh of breath air.
Didn’t Ludwig also mention something about two-back sets in one of his early interviews? Maybe YO can keep us updated on this when he starts reporting on spring practices.

yes…true thunder & lightning…When he committed I didn’t think it would be that much of a surprise if he doesn’t redshirt since he offers something that Cal currently doesn’t have.

Davidson was beat by College of Charleston in the SoCon tourney semifinals… Looks like after advancing to the Elite 8 last year, they’ll be NITing this year.

Stephen Curry may be great, but a 2 guard can only affect your team so much. It’s mostly smoke and mirrors behind him.

I dont get the Curry love. The dude puts up 30 shots a game and shoots 40% from the field (worse from 3 point range)

It was based on last year's tourney
he was red hot and played great and got well deserved accolades- but he was inconsistent this year, esp. in big games
The #1 greatest threat to America: BEARS
On top of which, the supporting cast was significantly better last year
Curry wasn’t running the point— they had a good point guard, Jason Richards, handling the ball.
It’s very difficult to make many shots as a point guard with no other good offensive options on your team.
Many years from now, when his name's recalled
Everyone will say, "He should have passed the ball"

eh, I’d have to ask her if I can solicite her fone # over the Internetz.
Actually, I’m not sure I’d wish any of my CGB brothers to be a victim. She’s only been with one other dude and, when the dude had to decide to stay with this girl or bounce back to Modesto (of all places), he chose the latter. She’s now a bit of a fruit loop.

That's September 9
California was admitted to the Union as the 31st state on September 9, 1850. Not March 9. (We used to get September 9 off for Admission Day off as a school holiday when I was a kid.)

Is your hedge fund in dire financial straits? Are you totally screwed and now realizing that someone has to take the fall? Has your ponzi scheme enveloped numerous celebrity-endorsed charities benefiting Laotian children with AIDS and been discovered by the SEC?
I’m your man.
I will take the reins of your hedge fund for as long as necessary to establish credibility, then present a dramatic “mea culpa” to the press declaring that my poor decisions have saddled your company with mounds and mounds of “toxic assets” and “ponzi schemery.” I will personally apologize to anyone and everyone I [you] have wronged and swear I had only the best intentions for your clients and shareholders. Death threats do not phase me. If necessary, I will go to jail. I will look Bernie Madoff in the eye and say “Hey bro, I feel you” on national television. You and the rest of your company can shake your heads and say “for shame” and then continue on your merry way losing money and what have you.

Spotted: Big Indian Football Recruit

Saw this guy play a couple times on TV. He’s large and… Punjabi?
No current offers yet, but I’m sure his overbearing parents love Cal
excuse me for being uncultured, but isn’t Punjabi a bit of an offensive word? Maybe it’s not quite as bad as the n word but I don’t think I’d be comfortable going up to someone with dark brown skin and asking if they were Punjabi…
Not that I’m Mr. PC or anything…I’m just trying to get clarification.

It’d be akin to seeing a white guy and asking if he’s from Virginia.
I’m Punjabi. I’m from the state of Punjab.
