Only on the Left Coast

This seems to be an awful lot of words to be dedicated to an insignificant (ESPECIALLY in a sports context) event.

Or as a wise man once said - Keep your politics and your religion to yourself. (It seems some people don't have a separation of the two)

Andy: No, I did not. Was that any good?

Jim: Actually not. It was really so-so.

Dwight: Ok...

Jim: I mean I like all the crazy monsters and stuff. You know, like klingons and wookies and all that but...Sorry, was there something you wanted to add, Dwight?

Andy: Is that anything like the original Battlestar Galactica?

Jim: You know, it's weird. It's practically a shot for shot remake.

Andy: Really? Huh, that's cool.

Jim: Story's kinda bland. It's about this guy named Dumbledore Calrissian who needs to return the ring back to Mordor.

Who the hell would put up an individual sign saying "BUT UCLA STILL CAN'T SCORE!!!"?

The fact you're turning it into a political commentary is duly dumb. How can you make one measly basketball sign an example of an entire state? Pssst.....even REPUBLICANS and CONSERVATIVES don't think highly of Palin so don't make generalizations.

I really wish that Palin would be off the TV set entirely, but come on man not only was your "commentary" weak and offbase, it has little to do with sports.

It's a measly joke and both you and FP made over-reactive statements because of political disagreement.

I don't see any point in the picture other than a jab at a conference rival for a crucial basketball game.

Toronto FC fans went into Columbus last year and chanted "We don't pay for health care!".....what does that make the entire nation of Canada, socialist commie evil people of the north? No, it's a chant and a jab at your biggest rival.

I'd love to see what you would say to the Duke student section when they chant things at players of North Carolina or NC State.

But The Beast made a great point above, you'd never see an Oklahoma fan saying "Texas likes Sarah Palin." I remember hearing about the Harvard/Yale game this year and Harvard fans making fun of Yale for giving George W. Bush his Bachelor's. Then bragging about Barack Obama's attending of Harvard Law school (even though W got his business degree at Harvard).

But was it a great point? I already knew Berkeley was pretty liberal, as were most students there and everywhere else. And the joke wasn't in horrible taste. I don't even think it's that funny. Sarah Palin's become a part of pop culture, her name's going to pop up in places.
