Brown to Cal

[minjo]

Last night I was at a circus featuring a trapeze man doing some vey difficult moves. I was enjoying the show, while I was on the edge of my seat worrying that a disastrous ending might happen. Everything was going smoothly and I was enjoying the act until the very end.
To make a long story short, all of a sudden the trapeze man made a dangerous move and missed catching the bar and landed on his head about fifty feet down.
I could not watch what happened to him as I left the circus show.
What a shame that someone so talented will not be able to showcase his talent anymore.
Were some of you there too?

Most likely it was not the first time he had hit his head.

Posters who had heard Brown speak said that he sounded sophisticated. Berkeley has always been that.(Mario Savio and Free Speech. Bongos. Beatniks. That kind of thing.) The super-intense UK obsession with hoops is going to turn-off more kids than it atttracts, I think. As Calipari has said, UK isn't for everyone.

UK's Flavor of the Month status may have been a novelty rather than something intrinsic to John Calipari. It will be interesting to see Calipari's coaching chops rather than his motivational powers.

That's fine if you don't want to win or go to the NBA. I'll full and we'll admit that UK isn't anything close to cal when it comes to academics.

Just don't talk about winning if you're going to choose cal, unlv or Mississippi state. Those schools have combined for 2 sweet 16s in the past 18 years.

I thought so too.

I thought so too.

I left my home in Georgia, headed to the Fisco bay.........

Brown is an absolute idiot.

Why would he want to go to arguably one of the best universities in the world?

Located in one of the greatest places to live in the world?

10 mins from one of the greatest cities in the world?

With some of the greatest weather in the world?

Sounds like an awful way for a sure fire lottery pick to spend a year.

Best Universities - Definitely

Greatest Places to Live - Amazing place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there unless I was worth at least $10 million

Greatest Cities - Definitely one of the most beautiful, but define "greatest"

Weather - Not so sure about that one, it's always been a little chilly for me when I've been there. But 100-degree Texas heat for 60 days straight each year doesn't bother me, so different strokes I suppose.

 

[Teachable Moe]

Best universities?? I'll give you that

Greatest places to live in the world?? Ummm no. That state is a basket case and getting over run.

Greatest cities in the world?? Hmmm as a Christian or even a normal person that place is a retched filthy evil place.
.

But we rejoiced that the more since increased the more the more grace was caused to abound.

And by what measure you use so shall it be measured to you. Tamped down, too, if I recall. His finger on the scale.

I don't think hoops obsession is one of the gospel virtues.

And as a purveyor of coal, I don't think we in Kentucky should judge the places fouled by it.

 

[BoulderCat]

That is rather weird. I don't recall them even being mentioned. Weird commit, and year so in that sense I guess Berkeley makes sense. I expect young Mr. Brown is going to experience a little culture shock.

I do think Martin is a decent coach, and who knows with some talent maybe they can make a little noise in the PAC. I rather lose him to Cal than KU or Michigan.

[stereonut]

Maybe Brown is a huge Led Zeppelin fan.

 

[RUPPsRevenge1]

dumbest class of kids ever. Cal , Miss St , UNLV , wow . can't say good teams beat us . Kids just dont care about winning .

Do these kids all know something that we don't about Cal?

 

[Pope John Wall II]

Do these kids all know something that we don't about Cal?

Yeah, they clearly didn't want to play for him as much as they should.

 

[5iveStarRecruit]

lol

 

[the nail at the foul line]

This debate about distance to the beach can be settled with everywhere is within walking distance if you have the time.

 

[devilpuppet]

Why not play on the beach? They would surely draw more than 7793. Now getting then to actually watch the game could be a problem.

 

[jameslee32]

The only silver lining in all of this is that it made Jerry Meyer and the people at Crystal Ball look like total goofs,

A ton of blue experts as well. The closer it got, the bolder they became and now the sheer idiocy is all that remains. lmfao

 

[jameslee32]

The platoon system didn't keep these kids away. The pressure to win every game did.

It doesn't sound like any of these spring kids wanted the challenge.

Yup, skeered of the challenge. Rather take an easier path. Pretty much sums it up.

Sure thang! A flavor for only oh, 8 decades now and yeah, HOFers can't coach a lick. How could they do anything but motivate?

 

[Mojocat]

Go Bears!

Cal - #1 public university in the world

This is true - but the qualification is belittling, and sounds like something a Louisvile fan would do with respect to time (best team in the last 4 years!). But the thing is, who cares? You think a kid who wants to spend 8 months on campus and then enter the draft is persuaded by your USNews ranking?

I'm not saying just because a kid intends to one and done that he doesn't care at all about academics.....

My point is that Cal is a great school that attracts a lot of people for different reasons. Kentucky has been elite for a while now in college basketball, but I'm surprised your collective minds are so blown that Brown chose Cal.

Whatever, I'm sure Kentucky basketball will be just fine. And I agree that now that Cuonzo has shown that he can recruit, we'll find out soon if he can really coach.

Good thing he didnt go to school there for you
