Player Profile: Handsome Mike

Ladies and gentlemen, tonight I bring you a very special, exclusive, unedited, unscripted, raw, live, and captivating video interview with the one, the only: Handsome Mike. This was indeed a rough season for both fans and players, but this interview highlights the sheer dedication of the Don Johnson's Loafer players and their willingness to fight for their right to ball. The Loafers have nothing but heart, and that is why we as fans love them so dearly and will continue our unconditional devotion to these strapping young men who may not have much athletic ability, but can tell you a thing or two about how to mix your audio levels and perhaps entertain you on the airwaves effortlessly.

As a fan, I have gotten much closer to the teammates this year which has given me all the more reason to come back to games next season and support BECA. If YOU are interested in becoming a member of the DJ Loafs, they may be scouting...so be on the lookout and don't be scared when you see a group of these handsome lads sneaking around bushes at your nearest local basketball court...they just want to make sure you are a good fit. Seriously though, if you have the drive, heart and soul required to be a Loafer, approach any one of the teammates mentioned in my previous post and maybe just maybe they'll let you on the team. Also, if you have enjoyed this blog thus far please please come and support your BECAns. We want as much positive energy and motivation as possible. Never give up DJ Loafs, never give up.

Player Profile: Max Schreiber

Hello fellow Loaf-a-holics! I've got a special treat for you today….a video! Yes! More sideways unedited completely unscripted live in your face drama…I mean behind the scenes action from Loafer headquarters aka my Droid. At the Candy Dripping Low/End of Semester BECA rager, I took the opportunity to sit down with my pie and chat with DJ Loafer Max Schreiber to discuss his thoughts on this past season, and what we can expect next semester from our favorite bball stars. Naturally, being the best spot for interviews, I chose the most sports-oriented room in the house: the beer pong room. It was very loud and we were interrupted by cheering of intoxicated BECA students during an intense game of beer pong, but I was still able to get some juicy info from this outstanding player.
Some fun facts about Max:
-He likes to envision the other teammate’s faces as he takes the ball away from them.
-Rarely does he ever not wear hats
-He may or may not have scored 9 points, but there are 3 for sure on record including 1 layup.
-Max is a San Francisco native
-He enjoys eating Latke’s during the holidays when he is hungry
-He is single
-He likes beer

"I think of the most awesome group of people I've ever met" -Max S.

Important Announcements

Hello Loafers fans! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. As a fan of the DJ Loafs, I often wonder what else besides this shrine of a blog is being done to honor these sexy players. Today, I found my answer. Someone in BECA is making a documentary of the LOAFS!!! YES!!! I cannot reveal just yet who is making it, but the information will be disclosed in coming posts. Excited? I know I am! But alas, I have one more important announcement for the day.

It comes with great sadness but also great anticipation that the Loafers have decided to change their name. No longer will people ponder, "Who is Don Johnson?" or "Loafer? Like the shoe?". Yes, like the shoe. According to an anonymous team member, the Loafers have decided to switch things up, and with good reason. They have had the same name for two seasons, the first of which started with the Alex Herter cabinet. However, Alex and other former Loafers have graduated from State, and the team feels it is time to move on and carry the torch with a bright new group of players and a fresh name.

Bas-ket-ball

Greetings Loafer fans! My my my it has been quite the season. The Loafers played a total of 6 or so games...you can really tell I did my research. Actually, I did do my research, but my pocket-sized notebook with all the Loafer stats and game facts seems to have mysteriously disappeared from my life. The last game I attended was not the final game, although the final game was the last game. Make sense? Let me go ahead and break down the second to last game:

The Loafers were facing their rivals of the season. Why were they rivals? Well, for one, it was the first team they played in a long series of agonizing defeat. During the first game the Loafers were at their peak. Not necessarily physically or technically, but emotionally. The first game is full of hope, as if luck were gliding on the rim of a shiny red hoop, soaring wistfully across a freshly waxed floor and falling delicately on the hands and feet of an angel, one with invisible wings who you wouldn't mind eating thai food with. You're not sure why your jersey resembles something a 4th grader in P.E. would wear, or why you're only sweating from one leg. But the feeling is there, in the air, my fellow fans! Sure some guy on the other team (YOU'RE GOING DOWN!) is wearing patented teal, black, and white sneakers. Doesn't he know how bright and eye catching those are!? The Loafers wear sweatbands, knee socks, and occasionally a pair of cargo shorts. But another reason for this rivalry involves part bad sportsmanship, part OH NO YOU DIDN'T. It was the team infamous for trash talking on the court. Who could ever say negative things about our beloved Loafers? How DARE they! They deserve to be dressed up as giant orange globes and mocked at along a line of whistle drawn referees. Aside from that, let us focus now on the arteries of such a tender and capricious game: the players. No, the teammates. Before the game, I caught up with key guard Marco Fernandez to shed some light on the anxieties of being one of the DJ Loaf's most valued players.

Ahhh don't you just love the aesthetic of vertically rotated videos? I know I do! Except for that's a total lie and I really just made this on my Droid. I usually don't make videos on my phone and I'm sure there is a way correct the awkward angle, but alas, this is all I have to show for. Marco brought up some very interesting points though. As a key guarder, one must secure the entire perimeter of the key on the basketball court, which can definitely cause some frustration. So much so that Marco later admitted before the last game of the season, "I love the Loafers, but I can't stand another loss." Simply heartbreaking.

During the game "The Players" - couldn't they have thought up a more original moniker? - dominated the court. However, Loafers Max Schreiber and Marco Fernandez made some outstanding shots, while Tyler Wall amazed everyone with his under-the-leg dribble skills.

Highlights of the game: No one got seriously injured

In other news, State of Events anchor Colin Lygren was spotted at the game.

Listen Live

This just in! Loafer games now live on KSFS's "The Deuce" The Deuce was started by none other than Charles "Big Poppa" Palmore in the Spring of 2009(?) and has been used as the alternative stream to KSFS main stream ever since for sports broadcasting. Recently, KSFS has acquired a remote rack which will make it easier and more efficient to set up The Deuce from virtually any location with an ethernet connection - wireless coming in the future. For those of you who are not sure what a remote rack consists of, it includes your basic audio necessities for a live broadcast: a mixer, microphones, and transmitter via the internet.

The Loafers are BACK!

I'm just gonna throw it out there, I don't know shit about basketball.
I've been to a handful of Warrior games in my life and was a fan of the Chicago Bulls in 2nd grade. My high school's basketball team were State Champs and probably still are to this day; showing my school spirit for a school known to recruit junior high kids, I ended up attending quite a few games and wore my alma mater's colors of black and gold with pride...sort of. I've loved and played sports most of my life, but that's about as far as my passion for the game goes. However, I must admit that basketball is one of the more exciting sports to watch, and what better way to venture towards new horizons in the blogosphere than with a fan page dedicated to some of my favorite people in BECA-The Don Johnson's Loafers Basketball Team!!! That being said, let's give a little bit of Loafer history, shall we?

The Loafers don't have the greatest success rate when it comes to winning games. In fact, the only game they ever won was when the other team forfeited thus winning by default. However, the Loafers have easily won the hearts of BECA students and fans alike, with their past and present members, those of which have been known to trailblaze the courts adorned in Bill Cosby sweaters and make outlandish displays of anger towards opposing teammates and referees. But who's to say they don't have talent? This year they're back and better than ever! Let's start with game 1:

I really wasn't sure what to expect, but the game got off to a great start. The Loafers made a couple points and actually seemed to be dominating the court for a good amount of time, before the other team started a tug-of-war in terms of offensive strategy. The teams seemed pretty evenly matched, although the opposing team would prove to have tremendous lay-up skills as well as defensive back-handing-that-orange-thang outta there skills. In the end the Loafers went away with a 19-41 loss, but they broke their record of 16 points.

Highlights:
-Mike Krems forceably chest bumping a guy on the other team into oblivion, almost getting into a fight
-Mike Krems' jump shot
-Tyler Wall's defensive and offensive abilities and overall hussle on the court
and the moment of the game goes to...
-Guy on the other team who almost PARALYZED himself by landing on the floor with his HEAD while bending/almost snapping his NECK all the while trying to bulldoze a Loafer. In the words of the referee "That is not smart basketball."

The DJLoafs play wednesday nights in the Calonico Center or the adjacent gym usually around 9 or 10pm. Please come support the Loafers and check out their *OFFICIAL* facebook page for more details!
