BLEACHERS BREW EST. MAY 2006

Someone asked me how my blog and newspaper column came to be titled "Bleachers Brew". It's like this, it's an amalgam of sorts of two things: The bleachers area in the stadium/arena where I used to sit when I would watch baseball, football, and basketball games and Miles Davis' great jazz album Bitches Brew. That's how it got culled together. I originally planned on calling it "The View from the Big Chair" that is a nod to Tears For Fear's second album, Songs from the Big Chair. So there.

UAAP Opening Weekend Notes:

Best stat line:
Al Ramos, FEU -- 15 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, and 4 blocks.
Jan Colina, Adamson -- 16 points and 16 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals, and 1 block
Khasim Mirza, UST -- 23 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, and 1 block
Elmer Espiritu, UE -- 9 points, 14 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, and 3 blocks

UP Fighting Maroons - 37 turnovers! Is this a UAAP record? Almost a TO per minute.

Trash talking: RR Garcia vs Jai Reyes, Rabeh Al-Hussaini vs Pippo Noundou.

Val Acuña repeat after me: I must I must not forget to bring the ball with me when I drive to the basket. I must not forget to bring the ball with me when I drive to the basket. Repeat 50x.

The telecast in HD? Awesome.
