Celebrity Sighting..

So after a few weeks of running this blog, it has created many opportunities for me. I have posted in the past about my multiple run-ins with Sam Rosen, but as of late, I cant stop talking to all these fine athletes (fine in the sense meaning good at their trade, not fine meaning good looking). Last week, Mikey Fells and I were talking to MC12, Marques Colston about him coming to the Jets, and his chances on the Pro Bowl next year. That conversation isnt out of the ordinary, as he is a Hofstra grad, and loves the Pride. The next few run ins might be though. Saturday night in Richmond, after Mason won their game against James Madison, Jimmy Larranaga couldnt help himsef but come over to us, and talk blog. He was sorry that Hofstra had lost, and knew my sports woes have been very taxing on me. Later on, he wanted to take a picture with Scott and I, so he can be on the blog as well. He is a real nice guy, and a great coach. I wish him the best. Also, its nice to see that he is a real fan of our blog.

Later that evening, while enjoying the Northeastern/Towson game, Dre' Smith an NCAA record holder (10-10 shooting the trey in 1 game) approached me, and asked me for a minute of my time. I obliged, and we had a short convo. He was a nice guy, and wanted to give me a jersey of his, but i had no interest in it, and wished him luck Sunday.

For those of you who admire what we do on this blog, and are jealous of our conversations with such celebritiesas, its not too hard to blog. If you need help setting one up, I would to be of assistance.

PS. JJ Redick had 9 points tonight.

UFC 98: BLACK ON BLACK CRIME

Hofstra's tournament hopes wasn't the only thing that went down this past weekend. Saturday after we say my homeboy Junior Hairston run train on the WACK pack and them Drexel girls, Bri-guy and I headed back to the fort to catch the Quentin "Rampage" Jackson / Keith Jardine throwdown.

It came down to a decision, but it was pretty much evident that Rampage was gonna put the beatdown on the good ol' "Dean of Mean".

So with this victory now in hand, Rampage now becomes the number one contender for the title in the UFC light heavyweight divison. He will face at UFC 98, my dude Sugar Rashad Evans. Rashad, who won the title at UFC 92 with a beatdown on Forrest Griffin came to the octogon after the fight and had a little stare me down with the new number one contender. I'm hyped son! May 23, 2009 in Las Vegas. Shit will be going down!

Sugar Rashad ALL DAY!



Jumpoff J, peacing the fuck out!

You Win Some, You Lose Some

So our weekend in Richmond is over, and for a group of fans that had their team lose a heartbreaker, the weekend was still A OK.

We got down there at 3am Friday morning, pounded an MD 20/20 and headed to bed. Woke up, walked over to the Coliseum to see Hofstra beat the ef out of UNC-W. After the game, we headed back to the room, grabbed some dinner, and went back to Coliseum to talk some shit to opposing fans errrrr, watch the night cap to root against Drexel. We missed the William and Mary/James Madison game, which we were happy about. So when we finally sat in our seats for the Drexel game, we were kinda tired, and ready to watch some ball. Drexel got smashed, and it was effing awesome. Towson laid the wood to them, and taunted them as well.

As many people know, Beer Pong is another sport that I take very seriously, so after the games, we went to a friends house for the first ever CAAzone Beer Pong Tournament. You guessed it, we won. What else is new? Pretty good way to wrap up a great night in Richmond.

Saturday morning was a good one, as we headed to the Coliseum. The first game was ehh, but we didnt care. We were there for Hofstra. As we took our seats in the Hofstra Alum/Parent section the game was here, and we were ready to roll. Right out the game, we were down 9-2, and it wasnt looking good, but in true Hofstra fashion we went on a 20-2 run, and led by 11. The game was back and forth, as we took a 1 point lead into halftime. The second half started rather crappy, as we were down 10 with under 10 left. Like mentioned earlier though, in true Hofstra fashion we had a 1 point lead with about 1 minute remaining. Sad thing, in true Brian sports loving, Hofstra was down 3 with 9 seconds left. As Charles Jenkins cut the lead to 1 with 9 seconds left, this is where the game got crazy. ODU inbounded the ball, and turned it over after a scrum on the floor. HU BALLLLLLL. 3.6 ticks left, as we were in the timeout. Clearly Jenkins was the man to get the ball, everyone knew it, including ODU. As he grabs the inbounds pass, he is guarded right away, turning away from the basket. Takeover drives the lane, slips, and barely gets a shot off. Hofstra Losses. Another year ends in dissapointment in Richmond, but this didnt get us down. We grabbed dinner, and then headed over for the night cap. Which was cool, as Towson beat Northeastern (*Northeastern is located in Boston, so i was so happy they lost).

PS. Junior Hairston FTW. Love that dude.

I cant wait to go down to Richmond again, it was a blast.

Sorry for the lack of hate during this blog, but we had a great weekend, and hate wasnt needed for this.

PPS. Point and Case for the reason I write the blog. I NEVER WIN.

Is it April 25th yet?

John's Asleep

Champs!!!!!!!

So the 2009 CAAzone Beer Pong championship was held last night in Richmond, VA. As a lover of pong, I felt like it was necessary to enter this tournament. At Hofstra, I was an avid player of pong, and normally had 1 teammate. His name Scott Crawford. His game was pong.

Last night after Drexel was rocked at the Coliseum for the 19th straight year, we all headed to his apartment. The brackets were set up, and we had a play-in game. Can you believe that? A play-in game? What were they thinking? Well, our play in game was quick, as we smoked those VCU fans. Our second game was quick, yadda yadda yadda. We are in the championship game. We jumped out to an early lead 5-1, which quickly went to 5-4. Was Scott and I nervous? NO. We had it all night long. Cmon now. We sank the last cup, and a moment of mass hysteria broke out.

Champs baby, all day everyday.

H-O-F-S-T-R-A HOFSTRAAAAAAAAa

Takin' Over

We in the buildinggggggggggg. Just got back to the hotel after the Hofstra win. Man this game wasnt even close. We rocked them from start to finish 79-66. Charles Jenkins did his thang. The Takeover shot 9-16 and scored a game high 27. Greg Washington also had a dominating game, shooting 7-9 and scoring 14 points.

Todays game let Hofstra fans make the first checkmark on their tourney revenge list. UNC-W defeated us in the Championship game in 2006, and a win in the tourney vs. them was extremely sweet. Next checklist team is Old Dominion tomorrow at 2:30, and we hope to throw them a good ol' Hofstra beatdown.

I expect big things from Darren Townes tomorrow who is the inspirational leader of this team. Its going down tomorrow, we hope to lay the wood to these bastars from Old Dominion. There is obviously no love loss between the teams and fans.

Jumpoff J, Scott, Mikey Fells and myself are about to down some Mad Dog 20/20 and enjoy the nigh session.

H-O-F-S-T-R-A Hofstraaaaaaaaaaaaa

LC: Wah, Wah, did you see me on Oprah? I had a tough childhood, Wah Wah.

Reporter: Whats it's like catching passes from Favre?

LC: Wah, Wah I want my boyfriend Chad back. He knew i was an over the hill receiver but he still through me 5 yard slant routes, 15 times a game.

Reporter: How do you feel about this teams collapse after starting 8-3?

LC: Wah, Wah.. I hate you media, leave me alone. I dont want to talk to you, all you do is bruise my ego. Wah Wah.
