We Can't Win the Pool... Emo Alert!

“Time to put on our Dashboard Confessionals record…”

As a person who has done bracket pools a lot, I usually know that the Final Four spells elimination not only for the teams involved, but also for the people in the brackets. With only four teams left, only a few people have anything on the line while the others.

This is no exception for our pool.

Here are the standings thus far:

Gossip on Sports – 91
The Battle of California – 82
The Sports Lounge – 80
The Play in CA – 76
Apples & Moustaches – 75
Bears Necessity – 68

A few of you will remember that we picked UCLA all the way and might think “well if UCLA wins it all, then these guys might have a chance. That’s where you are wrong…. dead wrong! Though UCLA winning will bring us major points, The Sports Lounge has the exact same picks as us, and since they have more points than us now, they would end up being higher than us in the end anyway. Just think of it this way: if UCLA and UNC go to the finals and UCLA wins, then we both get 64 more points, meaning in the end they’d still be 4 points ahead of us. We can get no higher than second. Shit.

So do we still care? Of course! As others may remember, we also ran a side bet with Bears Necessity. They have Kansas going all the way and we have UCLA. We’re also up by 8. Thus we’re rooting for a Kansas knockout via UNC or a UCLA championship run. Go California!

Anyway, here’s a breakdown of the scenarios of who wins the pool if the Final Four plays out in the following scenarios:

If the championship game comes down to UNC vs. UCLA:
UNC wins, the winner of the pool is: Gossip on Sports
UCLA wins, the winner of the pool is: The Sports Lounge
We win our side bet with Bears Necessity.

If the championship game comes down to UNC vs. Memphis:
Gossip on Sports wins no matter who the champion is.
We win our side bet with Bears Necessity.

If the championship game comes down to Kansas vs. UCLA:
Kansas wins, the winner of the pool is: Bears Necessity(we lose our side bet with Bears Necessity)
UCLA wins, the winner of the pool is: Battle of California (we win our side bet with Bears Necessity)

If the championship game comes down to Kansas vs. Memphis:
Kansas wins, the winner of the pool is: Bears Necessity (we lose our side bet with Bears Necessity)
UCLA(Oops, Memphis) wins, the winner of the pool is: Gossip on Sports(we win our side bet with Bears Necessity)

As you can see Gossip On Sports has the most “outs” to win this one. I would like to attest that in all the pools I have done, females surprisingly do better than males. Make what you want of that.

So that pretty much wraps it up. We still want to win our side bet, so we pray to god that UCLA can get some help from the refs again.

We hope this happens. Fuck Kansas!

The Giants Are All Out, All Season

Forget March Madness! My picks sucked anyways. There's no hope for me. It's baseball time. The Red Sox already beat the A's in the earliest season opener ever in Japan. It's time for my two cents on my favorite team. Let's talk about my beloved San Francisco Giants.


That is the new San Francisco Giants slogan for the upcoming 2008 baseball season. "ALL OUT ALL SEASON." Personally I believe that this slogan is purrrrrrfect. Why? Because they're going to suck so bad that they're going to get all outs, all season long. Their PR guy must be the smartest psychic in the world or the dumbest person in the world.

Before the season started, we knew the Giants were going to suck balls, great big GIANT baseballs. And guess what? With Spring Training almost over, no surprises. Dead last in the majors with a 8-20-2 record. How are we going to last a full 162 game schedule? Can we just forfeit our season? We knew we were going young, but plans have definitely changed.


Kevin Frandsen, whom we thought was going to be the young and fun up-and-coming star of the future Giants taking over as the everyday second baseman/shortstop, will probably miss the rest of the season after injuring his Archilles tendon running from 1st to 3rd base in a game. If Brad Pitt couldn't take an arrow in his heel, nobody can.


Ok, that's only 1 player. How about Dan Ortmeier, the big and strong switch-hitting first baseman who has been honing his defensive skills with legendary Giant J.T. Snow? Well, it seems like he's sucking so much "due to the pressure of learning a position and switch-hitting" that he might not even get to start there. That job may go back to our fan-favorite Rich Aurilia, who specializes in no-look behind the back helmet passes to the grass.


Fine. Maybe we have to wait another year for our young stars. Our veterans can play and be role models for one final year. This can be our post-Barry Bonds transition years to finish off the rest of our old players. Players like Omar Vizquel and Ray Durham will be able to lead the younger guys and play with class, right? WRONG!

Omar Vizquel: INJURED. Ray Durham: INJURED.

GODDAMN!! We still got Aaron Rowand in center though, right? We paid him a good $60 million for 5 years to keep running down balls and break his nose a couple more times for no reason, since the Giants are going nowhere.


In your dreams, Giants fans. Although he's not injured as bad, he's listed as day-to-day. Still, an injury is an injury.

Aaron Rowand: INJURED.

Giants fans, I'm sorry. The season is over. I'm not bagging on the Giants, because I'm an avid Giants fan myself, but I'm throwing in the towel. I really hope a miracle will happen, believe me, but I highly doubt it. I don't mind another year if they can actually get somewhere.

San Francisco Giants: All Out All Season. Goodbye.

The Lopez Twins, A Day After the Game

Brook and Robin Lopez arrive back to their apartment after flying in from Texas on a Saturday night, one day after their loss to the Longhorns.

Robin: Damn man, I can’t believe we lost. That was a tough game.

Brook: Yeah. I can’t believe those Texas assholes got into my head. I really shouldn’t have let them beat me mentally.

Robin: Well it’s not like that takes much effort, all they need to do is give you an English test. Hey-o!

Brook: Hahaha, good one Robin (in a low voice) you asshole.

Robin: What did you say?

Brook: Oh nothing. Anyway, what do you have planned for the night?

Robin: Um…

Brook: Because, you know I don’t have anything planned. I figured after a loss like that, none of the guys would be in the mood to party. Hell, I’m not. That’s why we could use this time to have some good old brother to brother bonding! I borrowed my friend’s Wii, and he has a copy of Smash Brothers Brawl! How cool is that? I was really excited when I heard it was out, and now we can finally play together. Let me just go get it, it’s in my room. Who do want to be? I call Mario…

Robin: Um actually Brook, I kind of had plans already.

A look of panic and shock sets into Brook Lopez’s face.

Brook: What? Where are you going? Who are you going out with?

The door bell rings.

Robin: Oh, actually, that’s her right now…

Brook: You don’t mean… tell me it isn’t….

Michelle: Hey spazzo.

Brook: Crap.

Robin: Yeah, Michelle and I are just going to call it a day. I think we just might rent a movie from Blockbuster or something. You’re welcome to join us…

Michelle starts coughing.

Robin: Um right. Actually, I think it’s just going to be a night for just us.

Brook: Oh I see. It’s cool. I guess I’ll just play by myself.

Brook begins to slowly pace back to his room. Robin grabs his shoulder.

Robin: Hey man, it’s nothing personal. It’s just, you know, I haven’t seen Michelle all week because of the tournament, and you know she’s gone a lot on all those golf tours. It’s really hard to get some quality time between us two. You understand, right?

Brook: Yeah, whatever.

Robin: Don’t be mad.

There is a pause of silence. Brook then turns and faces Robin.

Brook: I just got four words, Robin: twin bros before hoes.

Michelle: I’m still here asshole.

Brook: I know.

Brook’s door slams shut.

If You're Up the Superman, Don't Pit the Warriors and the Lakers Against Each Other

Screw an introduction, screw feelings, screw keeping it politically correct. Fuck that last call. 4 seconds left and you call a fucking offensive foul?? I don’t even care if the call was legitimate, unless Fischer is on the ground crying and Monte Ellis hits the game winner you don’t make that call. Both players were on the ground, Fischer PULLED Al Harrington down, everyone else had still been unaffected by the act; let the fucking players play. Wow, someone either got cut in high school and is still bitter, or doesn’t get enough loving at night and is bitter. Either that or maybe that ref really likes to blow on things and just couldn’t resist.

Alright. I’m glad I got that one out. Now, onto the match-up. While some suggest the Lakers, being without Gasol and Bynum, will squash the Warriors if they meet in the playoffs, I for one would like to argue the opposite. Don’t get me wrong, I was the happiest man alive when Dirk went down because

A) it will expose how shitty Jason Kidd really is.

B) it gives the Warriors an opportunity to move into the 7th seed, lowering the chances of a Warriors Lakers 1st round match.

And no, I’m not worried the Lakers will run the table on the Warriors; I like both teams and I want to see them both make it far in the playoffs.

But the Warriors are the most dangerous team in the NBA. Sometimes they’ll show up and get ahead by 26 points on you. Then, in the next 5 minutes they’ll blow that and let you crawl all the way back. In the end if Stephen Jackson is feeling lucky, the Warriors are fucked because he’s going to launch them from outer space and go 8 for 27 on the night. If he isn’t, the Warriors can beat anyone, considering more capable players like Monte Ellis, Al Harrington, and Baron Davis get the opportunity to produce. And quite frankly, the Lakers don’t have anyone since Tyronne Lue that can defensively handle the Warriors’ guards. And with Don Nelson taking shots of vodka before tip-off, causing him to make the Warriors run fast break plays throughout the entire game, Turiaf, (does he remind anyone else of Rick Fox, wow that’s an ugly combination) Bynum and Gasol will be on oxygen tanks before the 2nd quarter begins.

Then again, the Lakers, when healthy, are the BEST team in the NBA (yeah, even better than the Celtics). Gasol and Bynum are 7 feet tall; there’s no center/power forward combination that can score and rebound as well as these two do. And Gasol can pass so well too. Gasol is simply the ultimate threat; he’s agile, tall, and can score/pass from anywhere inside the 3 point line. If it doesn’t show in my writing I was bitter for years that the Bulls did not make a trade for him…instead they signed Noah, who blew my hopes of getting to see a NCAA Championship banner enter Pauley…twice…now I no longer cheer for the Bulls sigh. And then there’s Kobe. Simply put, the second best player in the NBA (Lebron is #1 and he really needs to stop smirking and saying that Kobe is #1 every time the Cavs beat the Lakers)

With Farmar maturing and fitting into his role, and old man Fischer still hitting perimeter shots, there’s no team capable of winning a 5 or 7 game series against the Lakers, provided they are healthy and have chemistry.

Now that’s what makes the playoffs this year interesting. The Lakers are NOT healthy and will NOT have chemistry come playoff time. Gasol is injured. Bynum says he is getting better, but his return keeps getting delayed. Kobe needs to get slashed in the face by Baron Davis in order to forget his ankle pains. Lamar Odom is an alien who was sent, along with Gary Payton, to construct the pyramids and play basketball.

The problem with injuries is that sometimes they don’t go away. Kobe’s injury to his pinky and his ankle won’t go away; and although he has come to terms with the pinky he now has to change his style of play because of his ankle. When Pau Gasol returns he may not be the same player; same thing with Bynum. The key will be to get all of them on the court for as long as possible because all three will be different players. And because of that, the rest of the team has to understand their similar but yet still slightly different style of play, and adjust. Honestly, I don’t think 6-7 games are enough time to get into rhythm.

Yes, as stated earlier, if the Lakers were healthy all 82 games this season, the NBA title would be handed to the Lakers after 97 games. But they aren’t. And Stephen Jackson is still firing threes from the beyond the three point line when he’s on his own 1 on 4 fast break. Both teams have their drawbacks, and as this 2 game series proved to us, the Lakers probably don’t want to play the Warriors. Then again, Don Nelson is probably too drunk to realize Stephen Jackson does more harm than good for the team.

Hopefully they don’t have to meet in the first round because having to go the distance in the first round will leave either team susceptible to blowing it in the 2nd round.

KCCAL would like to note: “I have no idea what that title means. Anyone want to explain to me it is translated in street slang?”

The Verdict is IN: And Ben Braun is OUT! Time to Partayyyy!

The Daily Cal will probably publish a story that goes: “Goodbye Ben Braun! Cal Hoops Rejoice!”

Or maybe not.

Anyhow, I’m not taking credit for Ben Braun’s departure; however, did I call it? If ever I have lost faith, my hope is now restored that Cal can be good! I would like to thank all readers, anyone who participated in firebenbraun.com, and to all the Cal players for their patience and hard work despite poor coaching. Cal deserves better. And I’m looking forward to seeing our basketball team being better than our football team next year. (Oh yeah, it’s going to happen!)

Wow, let’s take a second to bask in all this wonderfulness.

Another second.

And lastly.

"Give me a five, up high, down low! Oh yeah, here's to future victories!!!"

You think I’m being mean about this predicament? You think we here at TPIC enjoy the downfall of one man named Ben Braun?

You’re wrong!

I will not lie though: I think everyone is happy, taking shots of buttery nipples, grabbing someone’s butt at a bar (with permission, of course), and drinking lots of water to recover in the morning. Why? Well, for those who haven't been paying attention to the men's basketball team this season: the Bears placed 9th in the Pac-10, made the NIT, and lost in the second round to Ohio State on Monday night. It was not pretty.

Kccal also adds: Braun was also acting like a bit of a douche as of late. Recently, the Daily Cal ran an article about how Braun was on the hot seat. To quote Braun, "If we're in the Tournament a year from now, which I think we will be, people will say I'm a better coach." Well, no duh, dipshit, but how do you have the audacity to claim that people will be licking your balls if we make the tournament considering the disappointing seasons we have had of late. Do you really think that making the tourney as a 12 seed and losing to the likes of Louisville in the first round is really going to make people say, "Hey that Ben Braun is a coaching genius!" ? I think not.

Even more ridiculous is what Braun says later on in the article, "A lot of people said Jim Boeheim (at Syracuse) couldn't win one. They said that about Dean Smith, too. Those coaches were at their schools 20 years before they won a championship, and you know what, they're good coaches." Yeah, they are good coaches, something you are not. That's pretty high company to compare yourself to, and considering you haven't earned an ounce of respect to even be in the same stratosphere as them, well that just shows that Braun deserved to be in the hot seat in the first place. As I reiterate, what a douche.

After 12 years, Braun leaves Cal with a 219-154 record at the school. His most successful season was his first. The Bears went 23-9 in 1996-97 and went to the third round of the NCAA tournament.

Oh how we miss the past.

But we're in the present. And my initial title of this post was going to be "How it hurts to be a Cal Fan…."

It's the truth though, and I'm still hurting. Our men's team kept losing, but when all hope was fading, I could at least say, "Our women's bball team is SOOOOO LEGIT, you don't even know!!!!"

And then our women's team (#3) lost to George Washington (#6) at the last second in the second round of the NCAA tourney. The whole debacle was basically "Chris Webber's timeout mistake, the female version."

DAMN. (I really thought we had that one too)

Alas, we lose even when we're supposed to win. And it is Cal's tradition: not knowing how to win.

But as a fan, you don't want to accept this. You want to believe your school can win, that other schools suck, and that by some divine miracle, your team will come out on top!

And with enough heart, faith, and beer drinking, that does happen! Example: Giants vs. Patriots!

This last week has made me envy other schools. I thought to myself, "Oh I wish I were from LA." Because as Tony Toni Tone say it, "it never rains in Southern California." Ok, maybe that's not the truth. But it probably doesn’t rain on the hearts of So Cal kids as much as it does for us up here in the North.
Damn I was hating sports. But today is another story, I don't hate Cal sports anymore!

And you know why?

Because Ben Braun is GONE!

Chris Webber Retires: A Look Back at a Career That Was Above Average

In an earlier post I suggested that Chris Webber would flop in his return to Oakland, scoring 4 points, grabbing 2 rebounds, and turning the ball over 3 times in 10 minutes of play; eventually getting cut and losing all his money in a heist by the rap group Luniz. In actuality, Chris Webber put up 3.9 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.2 turnovers in 14 minutes per game. Not too shabby if I do say so myself. Okay, he didn’t get cut, and no Luniz were involved. Whatever.

Ah Chris Webber, you will be missed. We out in the Bay Area will never forget your rookie season. Nor will we forget the fallout between you and Coach Donny “Swig before game-time” Nelson. And we most certainly promise to forget that you were ever part of the Washington BULLETS. We can, however, forget that you dislocated your shoulder in a game against the Warriors that same season, foreshadowing the demise of your career.

But with all due respect to C-Webb, I thought it would be nice to portray the highlights of his career and life.

#10 Tom Gugliotta. That’s who we got plus 3 draft picks for you, Chris Webber. Maybe someone out there can find this as a positive.

#9 Fan Appreciation Night in Philly. Allen Iverson and Chris Webber don’t show. Chris Webber gets his contract bought out (25 mill) and gets cut soon after. Probably not a good thing but hey, that’s money in the bank.

#8: Chris Webber was named Mayce at birth. Mayce Edward Christopher Webber…you know if he went by that name he would’ve fulfilled one of my dreams and had to kill the actual MA$E over name conflicts. (Sorry but Puff Daddy and MA$E should never have been as famous as they became…screw Harlem World).

#7:127 million dollars. That’s how much Chris Webber’s contact was worth with the Sacramento Kings. Kudos to you for making that much buddy. No seriously, I don’t know how you did it.

#6 Webber put up 20 points on 9 of 13 shooting in the playoffs for the Pistons. For a 13 year vet at the time those are really amazing numbers. Too bad King James was in the building, as Webbers last shot at winning an NBA title was abolished.

#5: Chris Webber led the BULLETS to the playoffs. That should be number #1. The BULLETS in the playoffs…wow. Too bad some guy name Mike was still playing at the time and they were swept by the Bulls.

#4 FILA. Yes FILA. You would not know what the hell FILA was if it wasn’t for two men: Grant Hill and Chris Webber. It’s a shame that those Puerto Rican officials found marijuana in your bag, causing FILA to drop you from their endorsements.

#3: How about that 2001-2002 season? Winning a franchise record 61 games, C-Webb took the Kings to the Western Conference Finals, only to blow it in the 7th game of the series, going 2-9 in the 4th quarter/overtime.

#2 The FAB 5. Yes Chris Webber was part of the FAB 5. Yes, Chris Webber was the one that fucked up and caused Michigan to forfeit its victory again Cincinnati in the Final Four and to remove their 92 and 93 NCAA Final Four banners. Yes, that really sucks and Michigan banned him for 12 years. But still…he was part of the FAB 5 and that is cool.

#1 Rookie of the Year! Chris Webber will forever be remember by the Warriors as the man who scored 17 points and almost 10 rebounds a game to earn himself the Rookie of the Year award. He even led the Warriors to the playoffs that year.

Happy trails, Chris!

We also were considering his relationship with Tyra Banks as a career highlight, but anyone who watches The Soup on E! or her show knows that she's a little nutty, and C-Webb dodged a huge bullet there.

UCLA: Team of God....Or At Least Team of Crooked Refs Who Don't Want Their Legs Broken

When the game was over on Saturday, it seemed that UCLA had put another game away in the books. It was close, but it was over. Though some people said that UCLA looked a little vulnerable and not the invincible team that ESPN analysts have been drooling about over the past days, a win was a win. No sweat.

Then a funny thing happened. Yesterday, when I checked out my Deadspin, a giant photo appeared on the front page of the most pivotal shot in the UCLA-Texas A&M game.

As the photo clearly shows, it was a foul, but it was never called. Shipp gets credited with a block on Sloan and the game is over.

Now flash-forward to today where in the aftermath we’re left with a bunch of fans from Texas bitching for redemption. What else are they going to do now that high school football season is over? Normally, I would make some kind of snarky remark regarding their situation, but for once, I actually think their complaints are valid. I don’t know what the refs saw, because I see nothing but hand.

The unfortunate thing is that this kind of stuff is nothing new to me. While people out east are probably new comers to UCLA’s miracle calls, us people in the west are not. Remember that game against Stanford? Or two days later at Cal? Even though it was only 2 weeks ago, people somehow have forgotten that UCLA has been pulling this shit all year! In fact, here are some photos from UCLA games. The captions underneath show whether the refs would call those plays legal or illegal:

"Legal."

"Legal."

"Legal."

"Illegal. Clearly a travel."

"Legal."

"Legal! Giggity, giggity, giggity...."

At first, I thought these lucky “bad” calls were a Pac-10 ref thing, but after seeing things in the tournament, there is really one answer for all of it: UCLA is a team of God. With office pools and wagers, us sports gamblers are simply getting punishment for all the sin that goes on during march.

Now, I know what you’re thinking: Why would God make a favorite his team? Wouldn’t that make gamblers happy to see them win so much? Okay, so maybe I’m wrong then. Davidson is probably the real team of God (they are a private school after all).

This whole theory was the best reason I could come up for UCLA’s luck with the refs, but whatever, I have them winning in one of my brackets. So until the end of the tournament…. go crooked refs…er… UCLA!

Winning Isn't Everything, Prepubescent Rap Stars Are

Like many of you, my NCAA bracket is already in serious trouble (curses, Georgetown...) But with the first weekend of the tournament behind us, it's a good time for some reflection. Everybody knows the big winners from the first two rounds (or in some cases, the barely winners...)

And...


Sure, the big boys - UCLA and Stanford - survived and moved on, and that's the name of the game in the NCAA tournament. Meanwhile, San Diego stunned UConn in the first round, and then was shocked to learn that it actually had a chance of getting into the Sweet 16 when Western Kentucky managed to beat fifth seeded Drake to set up a 12 versus 13 matchup. Then San Diego went out and promptly lost to the Hilltoppers. But let's not forget those others who were not as fortunate to make it to next weekend. Although the Queen song "We Are the Champions" loudly sings the line "no time for losers," we have plenty of time for them - especially now that finals are over.

Here's a quick recap of the losing California schools from the opening rounds of the Big Dance. First, there was USC, falling to Kansas State 80-67 in what was one of the first "upsets" of the tournament - an 11 seed over a 6 seed. Then there was underdog St. Mary's, unable to overcome Miami 78-64.

Let's start with St. Mary's. Many people picked the Gaels to be the Cinderella of this year's tournament. Why? Honestly, I'm not quite sure. I mean, I guess they're a decent squad and they have that Australian guy on their team...but they play in the WCC. Yeah, yeah I know you'll point to Gonzaga and their success to prove me wrong. But let's be real here - the Gonzaga of today is not the Gonzaga of previous years, especially with the absence of big name players like Adam Morrison and Ronny Turiaf. Still, I think that the lasting memory of Gonzaga - in my mind, at least - will forever be this:

Don't worry, Adam Morrison. I know your NBA career is on hold right now because of your knee injury. But at least you've got a backup plan: a career in porn. I mean, that's why you have your mustache and hair like that, right? Or I guess you could always be a professional hick.


Anyway, the point is that St. Mary's was probably overrated and didn't stand a chance in the tournament. Or maybe I'm just bitter because I foolishly bought into the hype and had them beating Miami in my bracket.

Let's just move onto USC. Now I know that some people who may not follow sports as closely are wondering, "Wait...I thought the Trojans just played football..." And it turns out you're right. It was a much-hyped matchup between super freshmen OJ Mayo of USC and Michael Beasley of K-State, better known as the "We're just doing this because David Stern won't let us go straight to the NBA" game of the tournament. The Wildcats and Beasley came out on top, and the SC basketball team returned to its rightful place: in the shadows of the football team.

Now, with Mayo heading for the draft, Trojan fans may be pondering the future of basketball at USC. But never fear, Trojan faithful. Help is on the way next year with the arrival of Percy Romeo Miller, Jr - also known as this guy:

That's right. Lil Romeo. (Yes, he has gotten slightly older since that picture was taken). Romeo, as you may recall, has put out such chart-topping hits as "My Baby" and....well, actually that's about it. And the only reason you might remember "My Baby" is because it sampled (and when I say sampled, I mean basically re-used) the hit Jackson 5 song "I Want You Back."

But we're getting off track. Back to Lil Romeo coming to SC. A press release has compared Romeo's game to that of Allen Iverson's. Of course, that press release was written up by Romeo's people. In reality, Rivals.com has him as a two-star recruit, so he's not exactly going to be the next...well, OJ Mayo. But let's be honest, the only reason people care about is Romeo is because he's better recognized as the son of this man:


Don't worry, Trojan fans, spring football practice is underway.

Get your peace signs up, fight on...and make 'em say UGHHHHHHH!!!!!
