8 days past surgery and have almost no pain, despite a part of my stomach removed. It's pretty incredible that I have been almost exclusively on tylenol. Took an oxy the first night home to make sure I slept, but that was it. They did find a mass on the outside of the stomach, but the City of Hope ...

Mack saves Mick Cronin from himself, enters the transfer portal

MrBug708

I'm alive!

Not so good today. Mid guard play caught up with them

Surgery tomorrow! Hoping for the best! Thanks for the thoughts and kind words!

Go Bruins!

Wedge Resection (stomach surgery) scheduled for March 21st.
I detest the word resection . I'm feeling for ya Bug. Laparoscopic or open?

TBD. Different doctor doing the surgery and wants to take a look via her own endoscopy for making the call. It's going to be pretty small and just an ...

It's a real shame Mick wasted a lot of the non-conference not playing Mara but reasons only known to Mick.

MrBug708

Definitely no excuses. If they win, they bought their title. If they lose, they choked. I'm here for the fun season!

MrBug708

Had my yearly endoscopy and a spot is back at the same location it originally was. Most likely the tumor is back, currently waiting on the biopsy, and if so, I'll need stomach surgery. It's pretty heavy to deal with, the cancer diagnosis, even though the prognosis long term is still excellent.

Fuck ...

Listen to the Cronin interview on the radio after the Michigan game. There was not a player he didn't throw under the bus. No recognizing the fact that he has put in no offense for 3 years. He had a couple of great players who masked this deficiency for a few years but it is always one on one ...

What an amazing run. I was able to go to game 2 of the World Series and it was one of the loudest experiences I have ever been too. My dad's phone registered it as 111 decibels in Dodger Stadium after Teo's homerun and when Freddie went back to back.

Sorry Chi, I know Yankee fans have been waiting ...

MrBug708

What an eventful week! Trent Perry committed and someone is going to walk-on (or transfer, idk). Adem Bona unofficially set the record for the highest vertical at the NBA combined with a 48.5 inch jump. P12 probably called two fouls on him. UCLA is going to finalize two games vs Arizona and Gonzaga ...

About to help chaperone over 100 junior high kids to DC for the week. It's going to be...interesting, to say the least. Report time is 1:30 am.

I once had to chaperone a middle school camping trip. At one point I started thinking my day would be much more pleasant and tolerable if I was ...

Definitely wouldn’t wish that pain on anyone. I’m not exactly looking forward to the thought that I might get one in the future.

MrBug708

Had a kidney stone last week. Definitely do not recommend. Felt like someone shot me through my lower abdomen/groin. Spent about 3 hours in the ER throwing up from the pain. Luckily I was able to pass it.

Wonder if he would have reached a final four like Mick did or he would have still felt burnt out. He was basically taking the job until that lifetime contract offer came in

If you are looking for a good PF, Eric Dailey is a hell of a player. Transferring from Okie State.

Sounds like they won't have a city affiliation, which is dumb since they could easily use California or Golden State (Sunshine) if they wanted to.

After lessons learned in the Euro chase, Mick Cronin lands Skyy Clark and Kobe Johnson in the transfer portal. Dominic Harris is likely to join them in the coming days. Ilane Fibleuil and Will McClendon have both entered the transfer portal from UCLA's side thus far. That's a pretty good influx of ...

Dinelson Lamet, closing out games for the Dodger, just like we expected.

MrBug708

Myles Rice from Wazzu entered. Is he going to be the best PG available?

Seems like their whole team is bailing - Rice, Jakimovski, Chinyelu. And of course their coach.

Great step-up - Wazzu to Stanford!!

Stanford has taken two transfers in fifteen years and both were grad transfers. Not ...

MrBug708

Very nice start for the team.

MrBug708

That buyout has eliminated most teams from even considering him including Louisville. You can get the highest level coach for 2 years for that kind of money. I'm happy you are stuck with him for at least 2 more years and by then you will probably be willing to wave the buyout. Unlike others I ...

Arizona fan trolling Arizona fans.

Mick probably on the list for Louisville, but I doubt he leaves for that job right now. They probably can pay more and have more NIL, but that's about it.

USC Is the only game to consistently sell out at Pauley, which is a shame it's not more teams. Hell, Arizona's basketball team can't even make it to the arena on time :D But I can't see 8000 Michigan State fans flying out to Pauley for random Wednesday basketball game.

it's LA. the B1G schools ...

MrBug708

UCLA may have written their own death sentence by joining the B1G for $$$$$.

How are recruits going to react in coming years when the attendance at Pauley is 8000 Michigan State fans (or insert any other B1G name here) and 3000 UCLA fans???

I can't see any top players wanting to go there ...

MrBug708

Oof. Glad I didn't watch a second. But maybe I'll go watch the game Saturday with my kid!

MrBug708

Who are you kidding??? All of these Pac12 refs DESPERATELY want to become B1G refs. The alternative will be reffing WCC/MWC games. The financial hit would be brutal. Personally, I want to play anyone outside of UO/UW/UCLA/USC in the P12 tournament. The thought of future employement will ...

I wonder if the PAC-2 has a personal stake in ensuring WSU wins the conference this year?

MrBug708

I can’t imagine any quality guys choosing to transfer in the portal to play for Cronin.

That added to moving to much better competition in the Big 10…. UCLA is going to have a much worse year next year with f they keep him

The guys that play for him love him. They usually cite a close knit ...

MrBug708

Just to clarify, my intention about players auditioning is assuming a mass exodus to the transfer portal to shop themselves around, not particularly a new UCLA coach. Didn't realize UCLA was dumb enough to give him such a big contract. Considering how other teams and sports are treated, it's kind ...

MrBug708

I imagine this thread will go on for a very long time and hopefully Bug still stops by.

I'll still stick around. What other purpose will RC97 have other than to give me neg rep and try to extract positive rep from everyone else by whoring out his own positive rep to every single person in hopes ...

MrBug708

Did Mick really get T'd up 20 seconds into the game?

4 fouls were called in the first 20 seconds. Hope the Bruins liked the refs because they are from their new conference.

Did UCLA get moved to the B12 and I missed it? They primary work the Big-12, but refs aren't assigned conference ...

MrBug708

3 point defense is getting thrashed.

MrBug708

Ok, so to be fair, pre USC they won 6 of the last 7. They were 14-12 overall. They have us and Wazzu on the schedule, two more quad 1 games in their remaining 5. If they would have won out, including vs USC, they could have gone into pac 12 tourney at 19-12, win 2 more and lose to us or Wazzu in ...

When DG retired at UCLA, she was the favorite. Nobody really wanted her at UCLA and UNLV fans were pleading for us to take her. I have no idea if she worked out at Missouri or her path from UNLV to Missouri was successful or not, but UCLA's hiring of Jarmond during COVID didn't work out too well in ...

MrBug708

Brutal finish for UCLA. The Mack ejection hurts most of all, but I guess Vegas knew we'd struggle in this game.

Tony Padilla can EaD. Oh Hi RC97!

MrBug708

Yikes. This hire is to keep kids from going to the portal, but he doesnt recruit and isn't a dynamic personality to raise NIL

Big names? What? Lol

The fans generally want Tony White with a smaller group wanting Tommy Rees. Those are the two fan favorites.
