Today In Illict Drug Use

We were awfully relieved to wake up this morning — the worst part about doing the site on the West Coast is that we still have to get out of bed as if we were still on the East Coast; our wakeup call was 4:30 this morning — and pick up our Seattle Times. We love local papers; they're awfully excited about this Ohio State-Washington game this weekend. And we found some great news: Everybody's favorite hallucinogenic mushroom user is gonna be back in uniform this year. More »

1. Almost Howland. Twenty five years before his actions forced the residents of Spokane to explain why open sobbing by the leading scorer in college basketball is a perfectly normal reaction to a semi-realistic opportunity to win a NCAA tournament game, UCLA coach Ben Howland actually received his first coaching opportunity from Gonzaga. In 1981, following the end of his storied playing career in Uruguay, Howland was recruited to Gonzaga by then-coach Jay Hillock (now director of pro personnel for the Chicago Bulls) to act as a graduate assistant coach, with one of his duties being to defend John Stockton at practice.

Look, Look, Gonzaga Drugs!

Today's public service journalism award goes to The Spokesman-Review in Spokane, Wash., who have included, in their update on Gonzaga forward Josh Heytvelt's arrest for drug possession, a full on photo gallery of the controlled substances. That's right: The visual cornucopia that is psilocybin is there for you, in all its glory. Oh, and candy bars too! Those college students are out of control. More »

Felony Shroomin' With The Bulldogs

If Gonzaga Bulldogs Josh Heytvelt and Theo Davis are playing basketball today, they're playing not for position in the WCC standings, but for cigarettes and the protection of their anal cavities. They're in jail right now, or at least they were as of a few hours ago, because police say they found marijuana and hallucinogenic mushrooms in their possession. The goateed guy in the pacific northwest smokes weed? Nah... More »

It Gets The Feelings Out

The question has been asked by sports fans for a while now, and it's tough to get a straight answer: Is it all right to cry? Howard Stern's old radio show once ran a montage of celebrities crying in public, and though the sentiments were sincere enough, it was difficult to hear the clips without holding the celebrities up for at least a bit of ridicule. We live in an era of controlled public personas; crying in public is often seen less as a spontaneous display of emotion and more as a breakdown, a loss of the control we require of our respected public figures.

Gonzaga Bulldogs

1. These Are Some Athletic Jesuits. Adam Morrison finished his senior season at Mead High School in Spokane as the all-time leading scorer in Greater Spokane League history. He broke the record set by current Gonzaga teammate Sean Mallon, who broke the old record held by current Gonzaga TV color commentator Jeff Brown. Other GSL alums include: Lions kicker Jason Hanson, former Redskin quarterback Mark Rypien, Cubs Hall-of-Famer Ryne Sandburg, and Jazz great John Stockton. More »

The Other Side Of The Gonzaga Brokeback Story

Yesterday, we lobbed some bombs at Gonzaga fans for their chant of "Brokeback! Mountain!" to "taunt" opposing players during a game against St. Mary's. A Gonzaga reader writes in to shed some light on the situation. More »

Ennis Zigs, But Jack Twist Definitely Zags

Much has been made in recent days of Gonzaga's student cheering section, "The Kennel," taunting opposing players with chants of "Brokeback! Mountain!" This, of course, is a tradition, fans yelling the names of Oscar frontrunners to rattle opposing teams; who can forget the Cameron Crazies' spirited "Shakespeare! In! Love!" or the Illini's Orange Krush screaming "Terms Of! ... Endearment!" (Scott Meents was properly inspired.) More »

Adam Morrison is a hero

"Major onions" was how Bill Raftery described it. The play-by-play guy ended the telecast by calling Morrison "the best college basketball player in the country." He may be that, I don't know, but I think JJ Redick's 41 points against the #2 team in the nation at least leaves the issue open for debate. I'm not going to write any more poems about it, though.
