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.

The Official Statement from FEU

Prior to the FEU-UE Final Four match, this terse statement was issued by FEU to the media:

"With the object of improving team chemistry the FEU Tamaraws have decided to play our Final Four game today without Mark Barroca."

After the 84-74 loss by FEU Team Manager Anton Montinola and Athletic Director Mark Molina said that Barroca will no longer play for the Tamaraws. He can still go to school and graduate next October as they will not take away his scholarship.

Barroca is now back with Smart Gilas and began practicing with them as of yesterday as they get ready for their PBA stint. He is no longer on campus but bunking in Smart Gilas quarters.

FEU officials support the move to Smart Gilas and are in touch with them everyday.

Here's the video of the interview. You might want to turn up the volume because there were no microphones available.
