The drug charges were dropped and she was convicted of felony grand theft and vandalism but the felony convictions were reduced to misdemeanors after she serves her 480 hours of community service.— August 17, 2012 9:14 a.m.

A rather silly comment, don't you think? Or was it instead a poor attempt at sarcasm? In either case, I would think that a nuclear physicist or neurosurgeon would more appropriately have a building named after then or at the very least a department. For example, I'm sure you've heard of a small company that started up in the Silicon Valley during the time I was In college. In fact, he is credited with helping give the area it's nick-name. Perhaps you even own some of it's stock, as we do. It's a little company named Intel, co-founded by Robert Noyce, who some might say made a rather significant contribution by inventing a little thing called the integrated circuit. A couple of years ago, his alma mater built a new science building and named it after him Or for about something a little closer to home, at my old school, how about Birge Hall. It is named after Raymond Birge, who was chairman of the physics department for more than 20 years. Ironically, the building houses the Physics department. While I only took the basic requirements in physics, Professor Birge was still well known on campus, even though he had been retired for many years.. Fortunately, Professor Birge was still alive when the new building was named in his honor. I'm sure that meant a lot more to him than some "large stone memorial" would have. I would guess that most school have some sort of designated area to celebrate the success in athletics. Most schools have some sort of hall of champions type memorial. The memorial should reflect the importance of the contribution to the university. In the grand scheme, I would say a piece of rock for athletes and a building for a scholar seems to be proportionately correct. Just my opinion. Opinions vary.— August 17, 2012 8:58 a.m.

Well, he was the coach who got them their only National Championship. It's in Pac 12 Plaza (formerly Pac 10 plaza, I guess). It's a little area between the baseball field and the football stadium. My wife and I have been to many a Cal-Stanford game, and to the Bank of the West Classic tennis tournament many times, and I have to admit that we've walked right past it without knowing what it was. But then again, it's Stanford and we we're Berkeley grads, so it's not really a big deal.— August 17, 2012 8:16 a.m.

As I said, it wasn't about me so it has no affect on me. Something said on a blog has absolutely no meaning to me, good or bad, because it's, well it something said on a blog. And as I have long said, I think ANYONE who lets a comment made by someone on the internet, someone they have no relationship with, affect them in either way, good or bad, has other issues that they need to worry about. Rather, as I said above, my comment was was about you. And really, does it matter if someone is dead or alive? To say something about someone who is dead, no matter how long, that you wouldn't say if they were alive is, well as I said it's bush league. BTW ,Rule #6: Never apologize — Its a sign of weakness. But then again, it's only the internet, so it shouldn't mater to you at all. LOL— August 17, 2012 7:48 a.m.

Here are a coupe of lists for you. If anyone says that sports aren't big money, have them take a look at this list. It's a list of only developmental and minor sports leagues. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_developmenta… And as for the ABA, the current iteration, here's a list of the teams that are or have been in the league. Remember this is just 1 league in 1 sport. Amazing!!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:American_Ba… And even more. Sports teams in the United States by league for just 5 sports. An incredible amount of money being spent in sports. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Sports_team…— August 17, 2012 7:34 a.m.

Wildfire, not Wildcats. http://utawards.signonsandiego.com/wildfire.htm Gotta admit that I had never heard of the IBL and I read right over San Diego Wildfire when I was looking at the list of all of the ABA teams. I knew about this incarnation of the ABA because the LA Stars were one of the original teams. They played at the Forum and had a couple of UCLA players on he team. This version of the ABA is a lot different. It's definitely semi-pro, with the emphasis on semi.They play in a lot of high school gyms and rec centers Up here there are a lot of pro celebrity summer leagues. I think some of them are probably as good if not better http://abalive.com/— August 17, 2012 12:58 a.m.

The only name I can come up with is the San Diego Wildcats, but they only started in about 2006 and only lasted a couple of years. Now there was a teamthat started back in the late 90's that still plays, but it's a women's team. There was also The San Diego Siege, but they were a woman's semi pro team that played only 1 season around 2005 or so. And that's it, that's all I can come up with. I have a handful of sports almaac sites I go to and none have anything else. Even emailed my BIL, who is a bigger sports guy than I am and he doesn't remember anything else either. Operating on the assumption that it is a men's team, I guess it's mystery until/unless you remember.— August 16, 2012 10:12 p.m.

You can call it what you want, I didn't vote for either of them. And Ididn't react hostilely., because it wasn't about me. I simply stated that I thought, or used to think, that someone of your stature was better than that. Like I said, guess I was wrong.— August 16, 2012 9:51 p.m.
