   Long Beach native and Cal alumnus Peter Tomasulo shares the lead with Matt Bettencourt after Round 1 in San Antonio. Both are at -5. Tomasulo is the only player in the field with a bogey-free round. Rory McIlroy is even par, four birdies and four bogeys on his scorecard.

   UNLV basketball

   Much has been made of the supposed resurrection of UNLV basketball by Coach Dave Rice. I went to their game with Fresno State at the Thomas and Mack Center yesterday. The Rebels started off like they were going to blow the Bulldogs out of the gym, jumping out to a 10-4 lead. Little did we all know that this would be the highlight of the day. I saw a team that lacked desire, did not hustle, jacked up threes from the stratosphere, were poorly positioned defensively and threw wild passes. They were out-hustled all game long by the 14-point underdog Fresno squad, who obviously wanted to win - much more than I saw from the home squad in their last home game, Senior Day. A nine…

    Figured that I would start this thread, for the LB State alums/fans on here. Bad close to basketball season (2-5 record including disgraceful 112-66 loss to Baylor in NIT) = THREE spring commits verbaling to LB State in the past week or so, even though only 1 scholarship player was a senior (James Ennis). Sounds like Dan Monson was pissed at the 2-5 record AND Baylor embarrassment to end the season, so much so that two returning players were asked to not return? Commits are 2 juco players, both top 100 in JucoJunction's list of top national sophs, 6-7, 215 lb. post player David Samuels (currently at a Texas juco) and 6-3, 220 lb. SG A.J.

    Guys, this is the official thread for all things related to our AngelsWin.com Fantasy League. The Draft is set for Thursday night at 7:30 pm PST. First off, let's give your teams both a name and a look by clicking on the gear box to the left of the player search box in the upper left corner (under the banner ad header on the league page). Make sure to prep for the draft, both major leaguers and minor leaguers gents. A few other items to note: This is a keeper league, but here's a run down of the number of players/minor leaguers you can keep every year before we draft again. Number of total players to keep: 16. 10 minor leaguers, 6 big leaguers. We wi…

    I have an 8-team league that might be losing an owner. I am looking for two interested owners to expand to 10 teams, and potentially a third if I need a replacement for the owner that may drop. Our draft was initially slated for next Saturday afternoon but may be moved to mid-week. Anyone that is interested or has questions, feel free to reply or PM me. Thanks. Rough overview below: *$120 entry *Transactions are $3 to reserve an injured player, $3 to activate, and $5 for a straight drop/add. *23 man roster, no reserves [2 C, 1 1B, 1 2B, 1 SS, 1 3B, 1 MI, 1 CI, 5 OF, 1 U, 9 Pitchers (typically 6 starters, 3 closers)] *Snake draft *Regular season pickups in …

    I'm a Long Beach State Dirtbags guy, but I thought it'd be better to have a thread going for ALL of college baseball. I prefer the college game to MLB, mostly because of the relationships I have with the team from year to year. Even when the Weav comes around, we end up talking more about the prospects for this years' Bags team. Who are the teams/players everybody's following this season?

    Dirtbags explained

    Here's a pretty good article about how the Long Beach State 49'rs morphed into the "Dirtbags." We've been Dirtbags for over 20 years now, but any press is good press... I'm glad they interviewed Yogi! for the article. He's a great guy, and a helluva field-ologist now. Being called a "Dirtbag" (in a baseball conversation) is a badge of honor. You can see our Major Leaguers' eyes light-up when asked about the "Dirtbag" work ethic and what it means to them. Last year, I was thrilled to get some pictures of my North Carolina nephews' little league team... They were the "Dirtbags!" I'm proud to be a Dirtbag alumni, and still try to play the game the right way on Sunda…
