So why did Josh Smith (the college one) quit UCLA? I can't find any article that cites any particular reason, but I figured ya'll are more in tune to the happenings on the West Coast than I am.

Yeah, he was a headcase. Yeah, he was fat. Yeah, he was dominant when he wanted to be but would fade into the background 90% of the time. Most programs can deal with that though.

What actually caused the potential fringe first round pick just leave UCLA? What was the straw that broke the camel's back?

...do you think there is really more to it than this?! :dunno:

“I have made the decision to leave the program for personal reasons,” Smith said in a statement. “I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at UCLA and am grateful for the opportunity that has been presented to me here.”

Smith has been granted his release, effective immediately. It is unclear if he will stay in school at UCLA or if he intends to transfer.

A person close to the team confirmed that the 6-foot-10, 300-plus-pound Smith did not practice Tuesday because of "weight issues," which has been an issue for the junior during his time with the Bruins.

Well, yeah...

Smith had a chance to actually make it to the next level. How many players (except for Oliver Miller) would stare the NBA in the face and say, "Nah, I'd rather just be fat!"?
 
wtf is it with me and married chicks. I think I moved on from cougars to married cougars...just find it hot to get a girl that's married to cheat on her husband. kind of fucked up...but vegas.... :MARIS61:

The same reason most people transfer from UCLA. They can't stand Howland's offense.

Has nothing to do with how many cokes he drinks.

they told him he cant drink anymore cokes, or eat hardly any fat, hes 43

he was already a scrawny dude too

to be honest i think the docs are kinda clueless with it, any advice i can give him?

Tell him to go through with a colectomy (removal of the colon) as soon as possible. Life is just as good without a colon as it is with a good one. Seriously.
 
Is anyone watching this UNLV/Portland game?

Portland came to play!

...I just tuned in -- Univ Portland is a really low priority for basketball fandom in the state. They are starting to lay bricks though.

Yeah, I figured the game probably wouldn't be on the local radar because the Pilots are 3-4, whereas UNLV is a ranked, talent-stacked squad, but who knew... this one's coming down the the wire.

Portland collapsed in the early 2nd, and UNLV will probably win, but this is actually a good one to watch down the stretch. It's 65-60 with just under three minutes left...
 
UNLV has Grant High's Mike Moser. I like his game a lot. Kinda reminds me of Khawi Leonard.
 
i've been in a mediterreanan food kick lately. hummus and pitas and shit like that.
 
Anyone watching this awards ceremony for NCAA Football?

It's interesting to actually hear some of these guys get a chance to speak. You see them every week, with helmets on, and maybe get a press clip from them at the most. It's cool to actually see what they're demeanor is off the field.

Also, damn, is Barrett Jones not on the screen every two fuckin seconds? His parents and my parents go way back, so maybe I just subconsciously notice it more, but it seems to me like I've seen him on tv more this season than any offensive lineman I've ever seen, college or pro.
 
My brother supposedly got Ulverative Colitis from taking Accutane. He was doing a lawsuit thing but I'm not sure where it went.

I'd like to add that a colectomy is not recommended in all cases of Ulcerative Colitis. My brother has had it for 5 years now, it's mostly under control, he has to take three pills a day for it though. I'd assume it all depends on the severity.
 
i think it is just the docs best guess right now, he is going in for more tests in a week or so

I took Accutane too. He better get on that shit now, there is a big civil suit going on with the company that made accutane, but the statue of limitations is 5 years.

I agree about not everyone should have a colectomy. In my case it was the best decision I ever made. When they took my colon out they said it looked like swiss cheese and it was disenigrating. The doctor said it was the worst looking colon he'd ever removed.
 
If you can find a better voice than Alison Krauss, let me know...
 
Damn it's in the high 50s here in Los Angeles and it's too cold to go out not used to it like this here
