DBD 2.24.10 Getting Disbarred is HARD!
by Ohio Bear on Feb 24, 2010 7:39 AM PST

PrintHot off the presses this morning from the venerable Supreme Court of Ohio:
(Feb. 24, 2010) The Supreme Court of Ohio today suspended the law license of Cleveland attorney Debbie Kay Horton for two years, with the second year of that term stayed on conditions, for settling a personal injury lawsuit without the knowledge or permission of her clients, forging the clients’ signatures on the settlement checks and converting the proceeds of $3,800 to her own use.
In a 7-0 per curiam opinion, the Court adopted findings by the Board of Commissioners on Grievances & Discipline that Horton’s actions violated, among others, the state attorney discipline rules that prohibit conduct involving fraud, deceit, dishonesty or misrepresentation; conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice and conduct that reflects adversely on an attorney’s fitness to practice.
After reading the opinion in the disciplinary case, I can also tell you that this attorney charged her clients $1,300 for her services relating to the above-referenced case.
So, let me get this straight. This attorney (1) charged and accepted fees to handle a case; (2) settled the case for $3,800 without her client's permission; (3) forged her clients' signatures on the settlement agreement to dispose the case; and (4) kept the money.
Yet, forgery and stealing couldn't get her disbarred.
In her defense, she didn't do anything to a dolphin.

Kwotes from weekly presser
On the importance of the games this weekend
You address it, but it doesn’t become the overriding thing. We have to win at home. If we’d have played these games in early January, they would have had the same significance. Home games are critical, and now they’re more critical because you’re down to the last, for us, three games. Sure you address it, its just a matter of finishing off the job at home, but you also try to talk about us and what we need to do and how we have to play rather than become overly consumed.
On being on the verge of winning the Pac-10 regular season championship
I don’t really spend a lot of time with that. The game by game by game thing is what I focus on. We have to beat Arizona and that’s at the forefront of my mind right now. I’m not worried too much about the overall picture. I think that’s for later on. I think the seniors have responded well to what we’ve asked them to do and we haven’t always been totally satisfied with our efforts some time or some of the other things, but they’ve hung in there and done a pretty good job.

Weekly press release
California Golden Bears (18-9, 10-5) vs. Arizona Wildcats (13-13, 7-7)
Thursday, Feb. 25, 6 p.m., Haas Pavilion, Berkeley, Calif.

Saturday, Feb. 27, 12 p.m., Haas Pavilion, Berkeley, Calif.
Radio: KFRC 1550 AM TV: FSN/CSN Bay AreaCal Trio Taking Its Place in Cal History
Last season, Jerome Randle and Patrick Christopher each scored their 1,000th career point. Randle now has 1,702 career points and currently stands in second on the school’s all-time scoring list, becoming just the second player in school history to record 1,700 points. Christopher is eighth with 1,582 points. Last season, Randle became the seventh player in school history to record 600 points in a single season, finishing with 603. Cal now has a trio of 1,000-point scorers on the team for the second time in school history, after Theo Robertson joined the club with his 24 points against UCLA on Jan. 6. He entered the contest needing only seven points, and he earned the accomplishment early in the second half against the Bruins. This marks the second time that Cal had three 1,000-point scorers on the same team (1987 – Kevin Johnson, David Butler, Chris Washington). Cal now has 39 1,000 point scorers in school history.
Cal’s All-Time Scoring Leaders
1. Sean Lampley (1998-01) 1,776
2. Jerome Randle (2007- ) 1,702
3. Lamond Murray (1992-94) 1,688
6. Bob McKeen (1952-55) 1,654
7. Leonard Taylor (1985-89) 1,608

Randle wants you to bring the noise to Haas this weekend
Fill it up and be loud
Before chasing the Pac-10 championship that has eluded Cal for 50 years, senior Jerome Randle is rooting for something the Golden Bears haven’t enjoyed yet this season.
“I’ll be really disappointed if we don’t sell out,” Randle said of Thursday’s game against Arizona. "We’re really up for something big here, and I’m hoping this campus is excited to see what’s going to happen.
“I hope we come in here and there’s not one seat empty.”
That would be a bigger upset than the Bears winning their first conference crown since 1960. Cal is 29-3 at home the past two seasons, and only once — last season against UCLA — has filled the 11,877-seat Haas Pavilion.
With the first-place Golden Bears (18-9, 10-5) closing out their home schedule against the Wildcats (13-13, 7-7), then Saturday against second-place Arizona State (19-8, 9-5), ticket sales suggest a strong crowd but not a sellout. Cal had sold 9,400 seats for Thursday as of Tuesday at noon, and 9,200 for Saturday.

Cal student wants you to keep Haas quiet this weekend
Keep it down!
Nuclear Engineering and Applied Mathematics double major Cindy Wong, who is considering adding a third major in Business, would prefer it if Haas Pavilion were quiet on Saturday.
“I understand there’s, like, a basketball game and all on, but I’m taking twenty-five units and working full-time in a lab and I really have to study this weekend,” Wong stated.
When informed that Cal basketball is in play to win a Pac-10 championship for the first time in 50 years, Wong answered “I’m happy for them, but my Nuclear Engineering 204 — yeah, that’s right, I’m taking graduate-level courses — midterm won’t answer itself.”
Wong has previously written complaints against the football team during their home games, as well as against all of Cal’s fraternities.

Zhang out for tomorrow’s game and questionable for Saturday. Get well Max!
Cal sophomore center Max Zhang, coming off one of the best games of his career, won’t be in uniform Thursday night when the Bears take on Arizona at Haas Pavilion.
Zhang suffered a collapsed lung during practice Monday when he collided with a teammate. He saw a doctor today and will be re-evaluated in the coming days. He is out for Thursday; his status for Saturday’s game against Arizona State is uncertain….

Big road trip for the women hoopsters
At the Arizonas tomorrow and Saturday
The California Golden Bears (16-10, 10-5 Pac-10) have just three games left in the regular season, playing two of them on the road this week. On Thursday, Feb. 25, Cal will be in Tucson for a 6 p.m. (Pacific Time) game against the Arizona Wildcats (13-12, 6-8 Pac-10). They finish the trip on Saturday, Feb. 27 with a 2 p.m. (Pacific Time) game in Tempe against the Arizona State Sun Devils (16-9, 8-6 Pac-10). Both games will be pivotal in determining Cal’s post season future.
Neither game will be televised, but live audio for both will be available through CalBears.com.
Cal enters the week in sole possession of third place in the Pac-10 standings and controls their own destiny for earning a three-seed in the Pac-10 tournament. Cal holds a 1.5 game advantage over Arizona State and USC, who are both currently 8-6 in Conference play.
A victory over Arizona on Thursday will guarantee Cal a first-round bye in the Pac-10 tournament. The bottom four teams open with games on Thursday, March 11. The No. 1-6 seeds play their first games on Friday, March 12. If Cal does retain the No. 3 seed, they will take on the No. 6 seed on Friday at 5 p.m. in the quarterfinals. Only the semifinals, played on Saturday, March 13 (at 2:30 and 5:30 p.m.), and the Championships game, played on Sunday, March 14 (at 3:00 p.m.) will be televised on Fox Sports (and carried locally on Comcast Bay Area).

The Bears entered the final round in seventh place. Cal posted a 294 in the second round, eight strokes better than their first round score and tied for the second lowest team total in the final round.

Arizona State won the tournament with a 579 (+8). The host team, Arizona, finished second at 20-over (588).
Sophomore Emily Childs, who was tied for the Cal team lead after the first round, posting identical three-over 74’s to finish at +6, tying her for 14th place. Pia Halbig recovered from a troubled first round to shoot the low round of the tourney for the Bears, carding a 72. Halbig eagled the par-five fifth hole, her final hole of the day (she began on the sixth hole in the tournament’s shotgun start). Sophomore Daniela Holmqvist, competing against her former Tulane teammates, had three birdies on the day, including birding her final hole of the after, posting a four on the par-five fifth hole. She shot a two-over in her second round, finishing at +8.

Track team getting set for MPSF championships
There are no Allison Stokke photos here.
THIS WEEK IN CAL TRACK & FIELD: Cal returns to Seattle for the third time this season when the Golden Bears partake in the MSPF championships Friday and Saturday. Last season, the Cal men, led by MPSF Male Athlete of the Year Michael Coe, tied with host Washington for second, while the Bear women finished in sixth place. Live results will be available on the schedule/results page under track & field at gohuskies.com.
At the 2009 meet, Cal captured five event titles, including Coe in the mile (4:00.29). Senior Kellan Patterson prevailed in the 60 meters in 6.77, while since-graduated Ed Wright won the high jump (7-3) and the distance medley relay of Mark Matusak, Jake Hanson, Sebastian Sam and Coe set a school record in its victory (9:29.71). All but Hanson are back this season.
For the women, the lone victory came from now-graduated Mackenzie Pierce in the 800 (2:06.45). Junior Cherrelle Garrett was runner-up in both the 60 (7.38) and 200 (24.03) meters.
Following the MPSF meet, the Bears will next compete at the NCAA indoor championships March 12-13 in Fayetteville, Ark.

Kyle Bunthuwong wins award for 3rd time in his career
BERKELEY – For the third time in his Golden Bear career, junior Kyle Bunthuwong was celebrated as this week’s Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Gymnast of the Week, the conference office announced Tuesday. Once again this season, Kyle Bunthuwong played a large role in California’s success, this time at last Saturday’s Pacific Coast Classic, helping the Bears to a third-place finish and winning the all-around.
Kyle Bunthuwong took first in the all-around with a 90.500, well ahead of Stanford’s Tim Gentry (second, 88.500) and Bear teammate Glen Ishino (third, 86.850). Bunthuwong won parallel bars with his 15.500 and took second on pommel horse with a season best 14.800.
Not only were his scores on vault (15.900), p-bars (15.500) and in the all-around (90.500) new season highs, but they also bested his previous career highs since the implementation of FIG scoring.

Clinching an upset victory over the furds wins you a Pac-10 player of the week, young man
WALNUT CREEK, Calif. – California men’s tennis freshman Christoffer Konigsfeldt has been named the Pac-10 Men’s Tennis Player of the Week for the week of Feb. 15-21, Commissioner Larry Scott announced Tuesday, Feb. 23. Washington junior Venise Chan received the women’s weekly award.
Konigsfeldt provided the Golden Bears with the clinching point as Cal took out then No. 8-ranked Stanford, 4-3, at the Taube Family Tennis Stadium in Stanford, Calif. on Saturday, Feb. 20. After dropping the first set, 7-6, and 10-8 in the tiebreaker, Konigsfeldt fought back to win the second and third sets, 6-4, 6-4, to upset No. 34-ranked Alex Clayton at the second singles court. In his doubles match, he teamed with sophomore Nick Andrews to record their 10th victory together by upsetting Stanford’s No. 26-ranked tandem of Clayton and Richard Wire, 8-6, on the second doubles court.
On Feb. 9, 2010, Konisgfeldt became the first Cal freshman to garner the Pac-10 Player of the Week award and now becomes just the third Bear to receive the award more than once in the same season. His selection is the eighth overall weekly honor for the Cal men.

Women's H2O polo travels to the OC
Irvine tournament this weekend
BERKELEY, CALIF. –
Sat.-Sun., Feb. 27-28 at UCI Invitational, Anteater Pool, Irvine, Calif. All Day
Bear Bites:
Competing in its third tournament of the season and looking to avenge a 7-6 loss to UCLA last Saturday, the No. 3 Cal women’s water polo team (10-2, 2-1) travels to the UC Irvine Invitational this weekend to face some of the nation’s best teams. The Golden Bears open competition versus No. 15 UC Davis on Saturday, Feb. 27 at 11:30 a.m. Cal has excelled in tournaments this year; winning all five matches during the NorCal Invitational in Berkeley (including topping the Aggies, 11-5) and made it to the finals of the Stanford Invitational, were it fell to No. 1-ranked Stanford, 10-7.

Csikos leads Cal with 36 goals in 12 matches and is first in the MPSF with 3.0 goals per game. So far this year, the Bears have outscored their opponents, 143-63, and are third in the MPSF with 11.92 goals per game. Defense has also been a key for Cal as it is second in the conference in team defense, allowing 5.25 goals per game. Head coach Richard Corso’s squad is led by five returning All-Americans, seniors Meghan Corso (143 career goals, sixth on the school’s all-time list) and Camille Hewko (third-team), plus honorable mention All-America picks Csikos, senior Stephanie Schnugg and sophomore goalie Stephanie Peckham.

Pre-NFL Combine Mock Draft
Cal Players:
Round 2
41. Buffalo Bills: Tyson Alualu, DE, California
56. Philadelphia Eagles: Jahvid Best, RB, California
It will be interesting to see how this changes depending on how many tenths of a second faster a player can run down a straight line.
Actually, forget it, this is a dumb mock draft. I understand the Iggles just released Westbrook, but that’s because they just drafted Shady McCoy and they like him… I’m not sure they’d draft Jahvid Best.
This one makes more sense:
http://itiswhatitis.weei.com/sports/newengland/football/patriots/2010/02/23/mocking-the-draft-pre-combine-edition/
28. San Diego (13-3) Jahvid Best, RB, California Now that LaDainian Tomlinson is gone, it becomes clearer that the Chargers want to make any money they spend at the running back position count. Darren Sproles was a waste of a franchise tag and the team needs an identity in the backfield.
7
I’m not sold on McCoy being able to handle the load himself (either with or without Leonard Weaver spotting him) – 4.1 yards a carry is pretty weak when you consider that Westbrook generally had a high YPC numbers when he was healthy because the Eagles run so infrequently that the opposition is invariably caught surprised. Another angle that I’ve been reading is that Andy Reid likes how gambling on DeSean worked out, so he might feel more comfortable with drafting Jahvid from Cal too because he knows the team’s offense players are the real deal.
All of which means I’m totally pumped to get a Jahvid Eagles jersey and get him to sign it at training camp.

Sure, but do you actually see this as a real possibility?
I can’t imagine blowing a second-round draft pick on a position that isn’t really needed.

Probably not. The team did get by reasonably well with the McCoy/Weaver combination so I think they’ll stick with that and draft defense in the first few rounds. I don’t know how to feel about the strong possibility that they’ll draft Taylor Mays. Ugh.

Either a LDE or FS; a good OLB would be nice too, but the Eagles haven’t drafted a linebacker in the first since 1979 (Jerry Robinson of UCLA – you can see I’ve read that little tidbit a lot) so that’s probably not going to happen. I have no idea who would be expected be around when the Eagles are going to draft who’s any good though.

I’m surprised Oregon was so low, I always hear how loud it is there, and then assume its large. Apparently, that’s not the case, particularly since most of the big match-ups were at home (Cal, USC, OSU)
Autzen has a lower capacity to begin with. That number is even more than the listed capacity.
I am a Vereenian.
It’s the design of the stadium that allows a relatively small crowd to be so loud. The sound echos back and forth between the two sides of the stadium. It was quite loud when I was there, but not as loud as I was expecting based on all the hype. Of course, it may be that once they got ahead by 30 points or so, the crowd got a bit complacent.

Don’t they also have a severely sunken field to create an area for sound to reverberate on the field?

Yup, If you have ever been there, the stadium isn’t a bowl, but a V, with both sides (I think East and West), being basically vertical walls, rather than rounded bowls like Memorial or decks like an NFL/SEC stadium. This causes the sounds to reflect back and forth. It also places a lot more fans at the 50 yard line than other places, which adds to the effect.

Bruce Willis drops hints on... Die Hard 5?!
http://popwatch.ew.com/2010/02/23/bruce-willis-die-hard-5/
So far, New York cop John McClane has battled terrorists in an office tower, on an airplane, on the streets of the Big Apple, and on the Internet. But there may still be some more "yippee-ki-yay" left in the tank for Bruce Willis. While promoting his new man-in-blue buddy comedy Cop Out, Willis told MTV.com, "I think we’re going to do a Die Hard 5 next year." This is, of course, huge news for anyone who still gets goosebumps when they hear the name Hans Gruber (guilty as charged). Willis didn’t offer much in the way of details except to say that he would hire Die Hard 4 director Len Wiseman for the gig. And when asked where he could see the story going, his response was, "Well, it’s got to go worldwide…that would be my contribution."
Since no one asked for my opinion, I’m going to give it anyway. Here are three steps to recover from the disaster of Die Hard 4:
1) Get rid of the Apple kid.
2) Make the movie Rated R. No blue collar suspended cop goes an entire movie without dropping twenty f-bombs. At the very least.
3) Shrink the scale. The Die Hard films kept expanding in scale (Office building → Airport → City → Basically the world). McClane is an ordinary guy who gets stuck in bad situations… keep it that way.

Dude, Antartic is bleeding!?!?!
Roughly 2 million years ago, the Taylor Glacier sealed beneath it a small body of water which contained an ancient community of microbes. Trapped below a thick layer of ice, they have remained there ever since, isolated inside a natural time capsule. Evolving independently of the rest of the living world, these microbes exist without heat, light, or oxygen, and are essentially the definition of “primordial ooze.” The trapped lake has very high salinity and is rich in iron, which gives the waterfall its red color. A fissure in the glacier allows the subglacial lake to flow out, forming the falls without contaminating the ecosystem within.

It’s not mutually exclusive. A lot of people go to both. The Cal Holi goes to, say, 300+ people. I think the Asha celebration is in the thousands.

Hey, don’t expand your hostility beyond Rishi on this subject. We invented the bloody language and if we want to keep otherwise superfluous letters, we will.
I used to. Freshman year in college, one of my professors asked me how long I had lived in the US. I told him, and he suggested that it was time to drop the pretense and go with the prevailing standards.
I decided that he was right and moved on, but I do tend to use UK spelling in emails to family back in Scotland, if only so I don’t have to listen to any guff.
I thought you were Scottish? I guess I should’ve been more specific and said “fuck the English” :)
Anyway, they/you guys did invent it, but I like to think we’ve improved on it here in the U.S.
BTW, can you explain why people in the UK add an “r” to many words which end in a vowel (e.g. newscasters saying things like “Indier” “Chiner”)?

And why do so many Brits have a lisp? Or is it just the people the hire and interview on the BBC?

I don’t know, just a local accent thing. People do the same thing in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
Americans originally used what are now the “British” spellings. Noah Webster decided to try to rationalize the spelling of the English language, and dropped lots of “u’s” and made the other changes. So it could be argued that we are the idiosyncratic ones. Also — dropping some u’s and such does so little to rationalize the spelling of the English language as to be almost useless.

I think the main achievement in this country was in making pronunciations much more phonetic. I think the West Coast accent in particular is quite neutral, and this makes it a lot more widely intelligible, especially to people who learned English as a second language.

I think carp is referring to this.
A survey of more than 1,000 men in India has concluded that condoms made according to international sizes are too large for a majority of Indian men.
The study found that more than half of the men measured had penises that were shorter than international standards for condoms.
It has led to a call for condoms of mixed sizes to be made more widely available in India.

blockquote fail. Also, this:
The conclusion of all this scientific endeavour is that about 60% of Indian men have penises which are between three and five centimetres shorter than international standards used in condom manufacture.
Doctor Chander Puri, a specialist in reproductive health at the Indian Council of Medical Research, told the BBC there was an obvious need in India for custom-made condoms, as most of those currently on sale are too large.

Therefore, according to international standards, Indian men are worse lovers and will never be able to procreate.

Cathedral (San Diego, Calif.) defensive lineman Mustafa Jalil gave an early commitment to San Diego State. He has, however, opened things up and will be taking a pair of unofficial visits later this week.
It’s an unusually strong year for defensive tackle prospects out West this year and Jalil is a big reason for that. He’ll be a three-year starter for one of San Diego’s top programs and his recruitment has really picked up in the last month.
“I now have offers from San Diego State, Cal, Arizona State and Washington and I’m hearing from a ton of others,” Jalil said. "This Thursday I’m going to UCLA’s junior day and it would be huge if I got an offer from them.
Jalil is from the same school as Alex Crosthwaite.
He’ll be a three star until U$C offers, then he’ll be bumped up to a four star, before committing to New Mexico State and dropping to a two star…

Sure:
1) The lighthouse has the same names as the cave and they’re methodically written. Are the names on the cave wall just scribbled off here? Note that Charlotte appears as 140 in one and 104 on the other.
2) WTF Flash-sideways?!
3) Who’s coming to the island?
4) “This isn’t John; this is my friend”. Claire is psycho. She said her father (Christian) and her friend (apparently John Locke) have been telling her that Aaron was taken. Was Christian the smoke monster in disguise? And, if so, how did he appear in the cabin when it was surrounded by ashes? Were the ashes to keep the smoke monster inside the cabin? And is the Locke part meant to show that Claire was manipulated by the Smoke Monster the whole time? How does she not see John Locke’s face? And why the hell isn’t she confused when JIN SPEAKS ENGLISH?!

Numbers are 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42, the sum of which is 108
Also, if you looked at the names on the cave, each number had a name next to it:
4) Locke – Now taken over by Smoke Monster
8) Reyes – Hurley
15) Ford – “Sawyer”
16) Jarrah – Sayyid
23) Shephard – Jack (can’t be Christian or the name would be crossed off)
42) Kwon — Jin or Sun?

I'm Sure Everyone is Tired of the Expansion Talk by Now BUT
Per Uncle Teddy:
Washington athletic director Steve Woodward shared this interesting tidbit over the weekend with The Seattle Times (scroll down to the bottom).
Woodward also talked about expansion and said the Pac-10 and the Big Ten have reached out to officials at Texas and Texas A&M. “I’d be surprised if our office is not in contact with them,” he said. “I’m sure those conversations have happened and are taking place.”
When asked if the league might expand beyond two teams, Woodward said that’s a possibility. “It could be two, four or a merger of Big 12. … There’s a theory that at the end of the day there’s only going to be four super conferences. Now that it’s going to look like, God only knows.”
http://espn.go.com/blog/ncfnation/post/_/id/19928/pac-10-ad-big-ten-contacted-texas-am
There’s a theory that at the end of the day there’s only going to be four super conferences.
Which would lend itself to an easy “plus 1” model for determining a college football national champion? Superconference Champion vs. Superconference Champion in two of the BCS bowl games; winners play the following week in the NC game? Sounds like a playoff without having to call it a playoff.

We Need You the Fans at Haas Pavilion Feb. 25 and 27
I just got the following e-mail from Cal Men’s Basketball:
Cal Basketball Fans,
This week we host two of the most important games in the recent history of Cal Basketball, as we are on the cusp of our first conference championship in over 50 years. We are also going to be celebrating the careers of five decorated seniors.
A True Home Court Advantage Starts with You
We need every seat in Haas Pavilion to be full for these two games. If you have tickets for the game, we need you to use them.
If you don’t have tickets for the game, I encourage you to purchase yours today at CalBears.com. If you have tickets, but are unable to use them, I ask that you pass them off to someone who can be there.
Order Your Tickets
Cal vs. Arizona – Thursday, Feb. 25 – 6pm
Cal vs. Arizona State – Saturday, Feb. 27 – noon
Get To Haas Early
Both of these games have start times earlier than we are used to, but we need every seat in Haas filled to help us create a home court advantage.
Thursday’s game against Arizona tips-off at 6pm and is featured as a national broadcast by ESPN. We had a great crowd for College Gameday last year, and we need to show the country Haas Pavilion can host the best atmosphere in college basketball.
Saturday’s game against Arizona State tips-off at noon and is our last home game of the season. Before the game starts, we will be honoring our five seniors for all of their hard work and dedication to Cal Basketball, so please arrive early.
Please help us close out the season on a strong note and help us bring home a conference championship for the first time in 50 years.
We hope to see you all out there on Thursday and Saturday and Go Bears!

Max Wittek, QB (Santa Ana, CA)
The same high school program that produced Heisman Trophy winner Matt Leinhart of USC (now with the Arizona Cardinals), Washington Redskins and former Hawaii quarterback Colt Brennan and Southern California starter Matt Barkley in the past decade has another Division I prospect at signal-caller for the 2011 class.
Matt Wittek (Santa Ana, Calif./Mater Dei) threw for 2,158 yards and 15 touchdowns last season (his first as a starter, taking over for Barkley) and has scholarship offers from California, Clemson, Duke, Florida, North Carolina, UCLA and Oregon State. He is getting attention from other programs, including USC, as well.
“I definitely got a lot better as the season went on,” Wittek said. “By the end of the season, our offense was unstoppable almost. My confidence and level of play was raised considerably as the season went on. We have a great coaching staff here and we all knew what we were doing.”
Wittek moved to California from Connecticut prior to high school, so he could go to school at and play football for Mater Dei. Following in the footsteps of Barkley, Leinhart and the others is not the easiest thing.
“I love being the quarterback at Mater Dei,” Wittek said. “Sometimes you get a lot of attention from the teachers and the other kids, but it is all in fun. It’s a fun experience for sure.”
As for his college choice, Wittek says he is not bound by geography.
“I literally will go anywhere in the country,” he said. “I came all the way out here just for high school, so I am not afraid to go anywhere if it is the best fit.”
The best fit, according to Wittek, will be a place with a pro-style offense, a great campus atmosphere and where he gets along with the coaching staff.
“I am going to wait and visit some of the schools [unofficially this spring and summer] before I develop any leaders or anything,” he said. “I want to see what all of these places are about.”
Victor Blackwell, WR (Santa Ana, CA)
Add the Washington Huskies to the list of schools that have offered scholarships to Mater Dei junior wide out Victor Blackwell (6-1, 190).
Mater Dei football coach Bruce Rollinson said the Huskies offered Blackwell last week.
Blackwell also has been offered by Cal, UCLA and Tennessee.
Rollinson said USC also is interested in Blackwell as well as Monarchs quarterback Max Wittek.

Minor Basketball Ticket Whinge
OK, so I just bought my tickets for Saturday on calbears.com. They just charged me $3 to print my own ticket at home. They wanted $7 to pick up an actual ticket at the box office. On top of the $4 charge for, oh, I don’t know, processing my 100% self-service transaction?
Seriously, the amount of money doesn’t matter, but why not just make the tickets $32 each rather than tacking on $7 in fees for something nobody touched but me?
if the ticket was $35 dollars would you have noticed? (I agree, wtf, but just asking)
Ragnarok: Great Man or Greatest Man?
Would I have noticed the ticket was $35? Or notice the fees? I’m pretty happy to pay whatever price they want for the ticket (well, not $75, but $35, sure), I just get annoyed by the fees.
So, they could have jacked the price up to $35, charged me no fees, they would have $3 more than they have today, and I would be a happier consumer. Stupid, eh? But true.
are you a former student? if you’ve got the most recent id (since ~6 years ago) it’s free

I feel like I contributed something. I added Leon Powe to my fantasy roster today. (We have a very deep league – 14 teams, 13 players per team)
whoa, existential
