Underdogs To Top Dogs: Fresno State NCAA Champions

"Fresno State completed the most improbable run in recent college sports history as they became the lowest seed ever to win a national championship defeating the Georgia Bulldogs 6-1 on Wednesday night at Rosenblatt Stadium. The night belonged to Steve Detwiler who had a career night in the championship game going 4-4, driving in all six Fresno State runs and setting College World Series records for the most home runs in a championship game with two, most home runs in a championship series with three, most RBIs in a championship game with six, most RBIs in a championship series with nine, most extra base hits in a championship game, most bases in a championship game with 11 and in a fitting end to the game he caught the final out for Fresno State.

Fresno State scored two runs in the top of the second inning off of a two run blast by Steve Detwiler. Detwiler drove in the third run of the game in the top of the fourth with a double that scored Steve Susdorf and the Detwiler continued his one man onslaught with a three run blast in the top of the sixth and then capped off his night with a single in the top of the eighth.

Fresno State got a masterful outing out of Justin Wilson who head coach Mike Batesole was just hoping to et four or five innings out of tonight. Wilson went eight strong innings giving up just one run on a Gordon Beckham home run in the bottom of the eighth. He surrendered just five hits and struck out nine.

After trailing 5-0 heading into the bottom of the third inning in game two, the Fresno State offense outscored Georgia 25-6 over the next 12 innings.

Fresno State en route to the championship defeated the #2 national seed North Carolina twice, the #3 national seed Arizona State twice, the #6 national seed Rice once and the #8 national seed Georgia twice. In addition they defeated two Top 20 teams in Long Beach State and San Diego twice. Fresno State also joined Oregon State (2006) as the only two teams to have lost the first game of the championship series and gone on to win the title.

The championship is the first for Fresno State and just the second in school history as the softball team took home a national championship in 1998. "

Buzzing through the Day

Buzz, Buzz, Buzz.
The day revolves around the latest buzz.
At least that how it felt today.
In a time of reflection, i've noticed that we
have all become a hypebeast in our own way.
Some dig into killer vans, a fresh stussy tee, or
a sharp baseball hat to rep their emotion
in the flavor of color and overall style to
complete themslef.
Mostly its to feel fresh but is to catch the
eye of the opposite sex and being relevant
with trends.
All in all this vid by Shwayze captures
the essence of summer and the countless
defeats of receiving that glance from
such a lady/guy (for the females), acknowleding
ones own stlye.


(Ahh!!, stupid, universal have to request the actual vid, but at
least this one is practically the same with an annoying ad
added on. Like we don't get those all the time while surfing the net.)

Cool And Chill This Summer!

Fresh out the box.
Some new killer vids.
Time to update your ipod,

My Playground

July 10th, 2008.
The day I begin.
One day at a time,
I will conquer it all.
My future playground.

"There is a certain word that is the reigning king of epithets in the lexicon of offensive language. It's a word so complex and entrenched in a unique history that it can either be a polarizing term of endearment or a powder keg of repugnance depending on the surroundings, circumstances and who you ask. The word is such an uncomfortable and delicate subject that a meeting of the minds with the administration of Hypebeast had to occur to discuss if this video should even be shown here. I'm positive these were the thoughts that were floating around in the ambitious mind of Nas, who has courted controversy of the political breed since the beginning of his legendary career. Since Nas announced the title of his new album will be called "N***er" (self censoring) a tidal wave of controversy engulfed the project with civil rights activists up in arms and Hip Hop fans in a frenzy.

Although some of the mystique surrounding the album may have faded with the decision to change the album title to simply "Nas", the constant conversation is sure to return once the viewing public gets an eyeful of the incendiary clip for the single "Be a N***er Too". The seemingly omnipresent internet video director Rik Cordero, attempts to accomplish in a seven minute clip what Spike Lee does in an entire film in terms of powerful visuals. The video is a stark, brutal piece of cinematic imagery that juxtaposes between modern prejudice and slavery’s viral racism. The song was already floating around the net for a few weeks with all signs pointing to the fact that Nas is at his most poignant and poetic. He attempts to discuss how much the word has been overused and bastardized to a point that it has become a monolithic term that all races use to describe both endearment and ignorance. The message of the song is powerful enough, but the bone chilling ending of the video puts it all in perspective."
