| | In 2005-2006, me, Phil, and Eddie got a 8 game Clippers package, mostly because we figured that would be the last year we'd be able to spend some quality bromance time together before we started our careers. It just so happened that that year was the Clippers most successful year since they moved to Los Angeles, and the 8 game package got upgraded into a 12 game package, and with 2 rounds of playoffs, a 16 game package. It was a fun team to watch: EB before he became a traitor, Sam I Am's ugly mug was the crowd favorite, with Chris Kaveman a close second. Anyhow, the Clippers are absolutely dreadful this year, and I've only gone to three games. One because I got free box seats to a pre-season game, two because it was the home opener versus the Lakers, and we only went to that because we went as Laker fans, and three, because Linda got free tickets to some PR level seats.
This year, I got UCLA basketball season tickets instead and split them with Jon, Eugene, and John. But being that we are almost done with March, and we're out of the tournament already, it was disappointing. I should've gotten the season tickets last year when we had KLove, Westbrook, and Mbah still on the team. Oh well, I renewed my tickets for next year anyhow because I have faith that we'll be back in the hunt. I'm hoping that Drew Gordon learns to play basketball without fouling, Jrue Holiday lives up to the hype, and Bobo loses some weight. My Vegas wagers on UCLA to win it all are now worthless, but I'll still be up after the Lakers win it all in June.
We held a snaking draft, fantasy basketball style, to figure out how to divide up the UCLA tickets.
John got the first pick. "And with the number 1 pick in the UCLA 2008-2009 draft, John drafts UCLA vs USC!"
In the Cerritos YAGS fantasy basketball league, we don't play for money, we play for "The Belt." That's right, a championship WWF belt. Well, Karen (whose team was really managed by Jay) won our league last year, so she gets to hold onto the belt this year.
