An Open Letter to Kelvin Sampson

2008-02-15T10:43:00.000-08:00

Here is my latest sports column for The DePauw, our student newspaper.

Kelvin, Kelvin, Kelvin. What are you doing? Are you that stupid? Another charge? Really Kelvin? Again?

You've just become the next chapter in the chronicles of Indiana University basketball problems, and it only took you a season and a half. Come on Kelvin. You just scored this great coaching job at a great basketball school in a great basketball state. For goodness' sake, they made the movie Hoosiers about this place. After your Oklahoma problems - where they found out you had made over 550 illegal recruiting calls - I thought you were done. But now look at you.

Obviously nothing has been proven yet. You might even come out of this thing clean. But my father always taught me where there's smoke, there's fire. My father also taught me that if the NCAA releases a 14-page notice of allegations accusing you of lying and cheating, you should probably just light yourself on fire.

On top of it all, your team is pretty good this season. The No. 13 Hoosiers are 20-4 and climbing the ladder. The 68-66 Wisconsin loss was just a bump in the road. You could have bounced back from that. You've got one of the best guards in the country, freshman superstar Eric Gordon, as well as senior D.J. White averaging 17.6 points and 10.6 rebounds a game. Fans were comparing your squad to the 1975-76 national championship team. IU Fans were living the dream. You woke them up with a harsh smack on the face.

So Kelvin, here's my advice to you and your bosses. Listen to Public Enemy and "Fight the powers that be." This season is important. Gordon and White will most likely both be gone next year. You need to stay on track, win some more games, make a strong standing in the tournament and push this shindig back until the season is over. Most likely you won't be at IU much longer, but while you're still there, make it count. Show the world why you were hired in the first place: because you win games. Remind the world why you won that 2002 National Association of Basketball Coaches National Coach of the Year and all of those Big 12 Tournament championships back at Oklahoma. Give us a reason to stick behind you.

Kelvin, I never have met you and don't know much about you other than your basketball statistics and the funny angry faces you make when your courtside at games, but keep fighting. Fight for recently retired Bobby Knight, who is still probably being a grumpy old man even on his yacht in the Caribbean. Fight for the state of Indiana. All they really have is your team, the Colts, the Indy 500 and an abundance of corn. But most of all, fight for all of the fans. They haven't seen a championship in 20 years and they are due. IU deserves better.

If you do this Kelvin, hopefully you'll end up like Martin Lawrence in the horrible movie Rebound and catch a gig coaching at your old middle school.

WHY GOD HATES THE PATRIOTS

2008-02-08T09:33:00.000-08:00

this is is my sports column that was published in The DePauw, out student newspaper here at DPU...

Last night I realized something. There is a God and he loves me. During this 2007-2008 NFL season, he had me worried. What God would let the Patriots go undefeated? Why, Lord? Last night, in the magical Super Bowl XLII, he popped out from hiding, smiled and said, "Gotcha, Ben!"

In last night's epic evening, God finished a six-year joke -a cruel, painful and long joke, but the punch line was well worth waiting for. That joke was the New England Patriots.

It started with pain. On Feb. 3, 2002, the unthinkable happened: The young, underdog Patriots came into a Super Bowl that people said would be a quick and easy win. How could a starry-eyed, 23-year-old Tom Brady stand up against the unstoppable offense that was St. Louis? There was no way.

Ah, those were the good ol' days. I was just a simple, recently bar-mitzvahed 13-year-old boy. Torry Holt still had his hair, and Marshall Faulk was the talk of the town. All was well and good in St. Louis. We had a powerhouse offense led by miracle grocery store man Kurt Warner, and a solid defense led by the short, former-Div. III baller London Fletcher. We were 16-2 and averaged 32 points a game. God was good.

Then that all melted away. Tom Brady marched down the field in Super Bowl XXXVI and set up Adam Vinateri for the game winning field goal as time expired and ended our prosperous times, beating the unbeatable Rams, 20-17. People called it a miracle. Why, Lord? Why did you bestow this evil team upon me?

Years went by, and things just got worse. The evil Pats seemed to destroy everything in sight. As time drudged on, the Patriots' fingers became heavy with Super Bowl rings. By this season rolled around, my faith in the NFL had almost disappeared. My Rams were 3-13 this year with a pathetic coach and a list of injuries as long as Tom Brady's list of girlfriends.

Last night, things were at their worst. The Patriots were en route to become the best team ever to play the game. Tom Brady was dating another super model, and Randy Moss was going to dodge another charge. Evil reigned supreme.

Then it all became clear. The New York Giants, an NFC wild card team with an unproven running back and six losses in the regular season were sent from God to finish off the joke. Late in the fourth quarter, a miracle came in the form of two New York boys named Manning and Tyree. Eli Manning escaped the arms of the three defensive ogres and threw up a prayer to a third string receiver with only 35 receiving yards in the regular season. He caught that ball with his body stretched out as far as it could without snapping. He grabbed that ball and held on like it was holy, and for this sports writer, it surely was. People called it a miracle. Sound familiar? When Plaxico Burress caught the last touchdown to seal the deal, it was as if God was winking at me and saying, "Get it?"

It was 2002 all over again. David came up from the bottom of the barrel to beat Goliath. The unbeatable had again been beaten; the unstoppable offense had again been stopped, the guys who were supposed to dominate had been dominated. But this time, the Patriots lost! That's comedy!

God does love me and last night he showed me that all those Patriot wins over the years, all of that misery he had put me through had all been part of his elaborate plan to give us all a good laugh. Good one, God, I love you too.

Now here's an even funnier joke: The Rams being good next year.

It was featured on a DJ from Montreal's mixtape, "Écouter" Which was aired on a radio station called up there in canada. CISM 89.3 At the end he says something in french about "DJ sollie" but I don't what. I like to think its, "dj solly is a pimp daddy"

So last night this guy stopped by my little school... he goes by the name of lupe fiasco... He tore it up. I opened for him... I had an hour set just pumpin up the crowd and having fun. Again, lupe rocked out.

I got to hang out in the green room with him after the show. Think of the nicest person you know. Think of that guy that you think is just TOO nice. That is Lupe. Coolest guy. I tried to get him to make fun of Greencastle, IN but all he said was, "its cool"http://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gif

I mostly spun hip-hop but i made sure to drop ESTAW's kick push remix... phat as phuck... the crowd was confused

Michael Jackson- Don't Stop til' you get enough

Cuba, Denzel? Gangster.

2007-11-02T09:03:00.000-07:00

Just watched American Gangster from a leaked online source. Perfect quality. Sweet. I debated to hold off to go see it but come on, I live in Greencastle, Indiana. There is no fucking movie theater within 40 miles. So sue me Hollywood.

I don't think it would have been possible to make this movie badly. It was as juiced up as Shawn Merriman. There were rappers, Oscar winners, and Jay-Z making an album for it. When Jay-z makes an album for your movie, you can be sure its good. Or at least gangster.

I think there is one golden moment in this film. Cuba... Denzel... Magic. How did they even land these two in the same movie. They must have had funding like Bush does for Iraq. Let me say, it was worth every penny.

Cuba, who plays classic gangster Nicky Barnes has a sit down with Denzel, who plays Classic gangster Frank Lucas. They talk drugs and argue about names. Simple drug dealer stuff.

It was magnificent.

I felt a chill roll over me watching this scene. I watched it 2 or 3 more times. There the best of the best, one on one. Ali Vs. Foreman... rumble in the jungle. They aren't zazzed up in some fake role, just two badass talking, chillin, fighting. I would have been happy just seeing this scene and skipping the rest of the movie.

My advice? see this movie. This scene will go down as one of the most important scenes in American Cinema history. If not now, eventually. Cuba is not in the movie much. In fact, he has little to no dialoge in the movie except in this scene. But fuck it. This scene sticks like white on rice. Ridley scott does good, Denzel does good, Crowe always does good. See it.

Sex with the lights on

2007-11-02T06:34:00.000-07:00

College Humor caught my attention with this cute little clip

I punched the "anti-gym" into google and its definitely no joke. It is a club/gym/meal plan service in Denver with an ultra Dr. Phil attitude. Its like S&M for you fat. This place runs by the motto "start having sex with the lights on". Kudos.

On the site they put up the pictures of their protesters making for a little shot of hilarity this Friday morning.

Notice the "I have a thyroid problem" sign. That is awesome. Whatever man can get people protesting with those signs must be a bad ass-

Well... maybe not.

Yom Kippur, or as the gentiles call it, yam keeper

2007-09-19T19:53:00.000-07:00

Big plans this weekend for your boy Solly. I am headed home to repent for all of the horrible things I've done this year. Which, by the way are countless.

At my jew empty school, when you use the phrase "Jewish holiday" people think, oh sweet holidays like Christmas... wrong. For all of you that don't know, Yom Kippur sucks. Here is the basic run through of this painful day and all of my experience with it:

Yom Kippur translates into the "day of atonement". You Christians have it easy. All you have to do is believe in jesus and your done, we have one day that we pack all of repentance and apologies to god into. Its like cramming for a big final.

When I was a kid at Jewish day school the teachers gave us a meatphor for thinking about the day. They said god was writing your name in one of two books. One book was the book of life, which meant you were going to have this awesome, lively upcoming year. The other book is the bad book. If your name is in there your F'd in the A.

The only real plus of yom kippur? After a day of fasting drinking booze is a blast.

To all my jews out there, good luck brothers and sisters.

MOVIES THAT MAKE ME RANDY
MOVIES I GOTSTA SEE!!

I NEED to see these movies asap:

Lars and The Real Girl

trailer

The trailer looks great. Never saw the notebook so I can't say I am a Gosling fan but he looks good here.

Great World of Sound

trailer

I've been reading up on this bad boy. Apparently the director used a Borat style way of filming random crappy bands. He used hidden cameras in scrappy motel rooms to film struggling weirdo bands and convince them they were going to get a record deal. The reviewer for NY Times said it was good but left him "a bit queasy" which was interesting. I want to see it even more now.

The Last Winter

trailer

Fuck yeah! Finally a good scary movie! Is it just me, or is the horror movie genre just pathetic? They are pumping out this teen killer crap endlessly. When is it gonna end? NOW! The trailer for this movie is haunting. I spent an hour arguing with my roommate about the status of horror films. I'm jacked up for this.

Rocket Science

trailer

I've done some weird stuff in my life but high school debate takes the cake. I can't imagine this movie being bad. God the trailer is great. I want to edit a trailer as good as that someday.
p.s. it seems like narrators are coming back in movies nowadays. This narrator sounds like the guy from Little Children. It worked in that movie and I bet it will work in this one.

Dans Paris
trailer

Le French Cinema. Is it me or is everyone in France beautiful, sexual and classy? I need to travel more.

This is England

trailer

Love skinheads.... Love em. Good trailer.

The mac G5 powerbook I store my life in is deader than the Japanese guy in Die Hard. The hard drive decided to turn over and die. Luckily, I go to a school that has lots of money so they gave me a loaner computer which I am using now.

Movies that make me randy

Wow. Someone made a movie with a nickname. What movies get fucking nicknames? On top of that the nick name sounds like an American Gladiator. Definitely will wait to see this one in 4 years from now on TBS when I get back home drunk on a Saturday at 3am... and yet it will probably still suck.

I did see the movie, Go last night. That was a good one. Its one of those movies you always mean to see but just ever do. Even when you a scrolling through DVD at blockbuster or on Video On Demand, you see it and realize that you want to see it but you end up renting Texas Chainsaw Massacre instead. Bad call. However. I did see Darryl from "The Office" in the D-War trailer. Hey man... I'm just glad he is getting jobs. Go make your paper. God I can't wait to get me some office!

football season!

2007-09-06T18:06:00.000-07:00

Thank the lord its finally here. If I had to watch i single more episode of Hard Knocks on HBO, aka Third String Drama of the most pathetic team in the NFL I was going to be sick. Although I am a Boomer Grigsby fan now. Any Fullback with Hebrew tattoo's on his arms is fine by me.

Is it me or do the halftime and pregame shows seem to be sloping considerably in the NFL. Honestly, John Mellencamp? If you were going to tell me last year that Prince was going to do the halftime at the superbowl and John Mellencamp was going to do the pre game for the season opener I would have told you that next season it was going to be Vanilla Ice and that band that did the song "kiss me" on the She's All That soundtrack. Can we not get some decent, up to date acts out there? Call Kanye.
But Mellencamp always comes to shine with that sweet hair of his.
This picture is definitely coming with me to my next haircut.

p.s. screw the colts. Everyone in Indiana wants to make sweet love to Peyton Manning. I am sick of it. I'm saying it now: Fuck the Colts. Fuck Peyton Manning. Go Rams.

Great World of Sound.
This baby comes out the 14th of sep and it looks like something not to miss. I love the laid back acting style in films like this. Altman did it well, the office on NBC does it, and this looks like it will do it. It brings this realism to movies that most films loose. Can't wait for this one

Dreamy Tuesday night. Chilling in the library with my low carb full throttle energy drink and the book, “ literature and its writers”. Here is a haiku to express how I feel about my upcoming poetry reading:

So this groovy DJ named Estaw messaged me on myspace a couple moons ago and made my day. He told me he loved my track, "Bring the Bliss" which can be heard on my page. Estaw is a big DJ in Amsterdam and he informed me that he was going to happily spin my little tune at is shows. Looks like im a real producer now! How do you like that dad!

Peace bitches.

P.S. My new goal in life is to go to Amsterdam and visit this chap and do lots of drugs with him. Lots!

And so it Begins....

Hello friends!

I wanna clear the air to start things off. The wonderful tagline of my blog, “thongs, bongs and Filet mignong” is not an original thought from the solomoeister, even though it should have been. It was taken, with all due respect from the MySpace of Dj Iray, a divorced hindu, body builder from California. Look him up when you get a chance

Welcome to my blog! I hope to post some funky stuff I enjoy and that hopefully you will too, so stay tuned.

Be well.

-Ben
