@maxinewally Clearly this person hasn't seen your legendary police log commentary re petty theft in Irvine.

Very impressed with the writing quality of this student journalist; enjoyed this game article almost as much as I enjoyed the game!

Trickery routinely met tenacity for UCLA. Tim Skipper called with swagger, Jerry Neuheisel schemed like a gambler. Kevin Coyle unleashed a defense that hunted in packs.

The fill-in bosses wiped Michigan State 38-13 and no further questions needed asking.

@UCIbsb rare Anteater v. Anteater action tonight in SF

[David Gao @dvdgao]

@TrentRushSports Trent, what are the odds UCI gets a MWC invite? And the odds they'd actually accept?

[David Gao @dvdgao]

Me: a player from Tocantins has been selected
W: omg @stephenfishbach ?!
Me: unfortunately that's not who is rumored. And he said he would never play again
W: @TysonApostol?!
Me: unfortunately that's not who is rumored
W: JT?!
Me: unfortunately that's not who is rumored
W: .....

[David Gao @dvdgao]

My wife's guesses as to the returnee from each season listed below is so unhinged.

Me: A player from Cook Islands has been selected
W: Yul?
Me: unfortunately that's not who is rumored.
W: Cao Boi?
Me: ...
W: what, didn't he engineer the first split vote?
😂

One of my all-time faves.

Kolten Wong has announced his retirement from professional baseball, per Spectrum News

The Hawaiian spent 8 years with the #STLCards, winning a pair of Gold Gloves and hitting to a 95 OPS+

Enjoy retirement, Kolten!

U-C-I!

@UCImbb is headed to Hinkle for the NIT final 4 after the thrilling OT win over UAB! What a fight between these two, loved watching.

31st win on the year for the Anteaters. Myles Che & especially Devin Tillis were outstanding down the stretch.

The journey continues!

I'll always have a soft spot for @scorebook_bob as the first Cardinals PBP guy I remember as a kid. As an adult, I use his scorebook too. Thanks for the memories!

How to create the worst postseason college basketball tournament imaginable:

1. Remove all possible underdogs
2. Don't start for 2 weeks, when people will care even less
3. Host the entire thing in Vegas for a catatonic atmosphere and no iconic venues

Crown? More like Dunce Cap

Wife: what's Vanderpump Rules?
Me: I don't really know
W: like, Vanderpump rules🤘!?
M: no, I think it's like the rules of Vanderpump
W: oh. What's Vanderpump?
M: I don't know!

[Benjamin Hochman @hochman]

The late, great STL sportswriter Rick Hummel loved Tommy Edman. He always talked gleefully about him. The 2 got to know each other well in the clubhouse over the years. And now, on a team with Ohtani & Betts, Edman has won the NLCS MVP, leading the Dodgers to the World Series. Man, I wish we could hear from Rick right now.

[David Gao @dvdgao]

Me seeing that the Cardinals are trading away my guy Tommy Edman only to learn that my guy Tommy Pham is making his triumphant return

Rest in peace, Bill Walton. You did San Diego and UCLA proud, and you threw it DOWN, big man!

Can confirm. Once ran into Franklin on Westwood Blvd and was immediately charmed within the course of a 5 second conversation.

[Ben Bolch @calpostbbolch]

DeShaun Foster should also take a long look at Johnathan Franklin as director of leadership or create a mutually acceptable position to get him on staff. Of all the Bruins I’ve talked to over the years, Franklin might be the most impressive as far as relatability & presence.

[David Gao @dvdgao]

I have never in my life seen a team get 4 technical fouls across 3 different players. And on 3 different plays. Refs having a field day lol @UCLAMBB

[Ben Bolch @calpostbbolch]

ANOTHER TECH ON ASU!!!!
