- Title is a reference from Big Brother 10, where Dan (eventual winner) spiced up the quirky but funny Renny, on his way to Big Brother history.
Must be something about watching USC basketball, I'm writing again while SC trails BC in first round of NCAA tourney, 34-30. Blessing that USC is even in, as it took a miracle 2nd-half rally against ASU in Pac10 title to win it. Where was I? On the plane to N'Orleans.
Illinois fell flat on its face last night w/o PG Chester Frazier. Though they were down by 17 at one point, it was funny cuz they rallied back in the last 3 minutes, took advantage of a blatantly obvious call where Illinois had tipped it out of bounds but was not called, and cut the lead to TWO points while I was clapping and jumpin' around in my hotel in what some could call a semblance of hope. However, it was one of those danglers, as if the team was saying," O, you really thought we had a chance that game? Did you really?"
Anywya, Nawrlins has been pretty spectular. More of a tourist trip, this LAAB trip with USC Law, but also in the spirit of past trips I've been on, an endeavor to help the people of New Orleans. We were reminded of Katrina at many occasions during the trip, as well as the work that still needs to be done.
I actually watched "Runaway Jury" right before coming here, and my impression of the city has definitey been changed (more than just the "someone-goes-into-business-offices-and-just-shoots-all-the-people part). Anyway, definitely worthy of coming here later in life, whether for pleasure or business, or just philanthropical purposes.
Good luck folks on the rest of your bracket. I have a feeling my picks are going in the trash again as they do every year except 2002 (picked Maryland to go all the way, got lucky.)
Fantasize on,
Robert Yan
