In the days leading up to the furiously anticipated BYU game, it was announced that SDSU fans bearing the infamous “I poked Jimmer’s girlfriend” shirts would be barred from entering the arena.

For the second time this season, the San Diego State men’s basketball team was forced to put another mark in the loss column. And for the second time in 29 games, SDSU had to do it after falling to BYU. Take a look at some of the news and notes from the Aztecs’ disappointing 80-67 loss to the Cougars.

Moments after the San Diego State men’s basketball team’s second loss of the season to BYU on Saturday, I got a text from a number I didn’t recognize. It read simply, “Yea BYU! Not once, but twice!” I was already furious and that text sent me into a full on rage, so I responded by telling the anonymous texter that they should go straight to hell, while also contemplating what other names to call this person. After discovering the identity of the texter, I was even more upset. This person has no affiliation to BYU – they nor their spouse attended BYU, likewise not one of their four kids attended BYU – yet here was this lifelong San Diegan rubbing it in my face that BYU beat SDSU again. Sadly, this scene for me after BYU–SDSU games is the rule, not the exception.

The time was 5:25 p.m. last Wednesday — more than 60 hours before tip-off. According to the Person Tracker, brought to us by our beloved “Geckshow,” there were 175 people already waiting outside the Viejas Arena Ticket Office. It had begun.

Jesus McMurphy Christ. I didn’t know a failure could be as epic as the BYU ticket release and subsequent campout.

After the San Diego State men’s basketball team left Provo, Utah with a loss to BYU earlier this season, SDSU fans collectively went to their calendars and circled Saturday, Feb. 26, when the Cougars were scheduled to come to San Diego and play the Aztecs on their home turf.

I drink. A lot. I’m a huge fan of red meat, potato and cheese. I have terrible sleep habits and the extent of my exercise is the walk to my car. I will probably not live a long life.

There’s something going on at San Diego State and “if you don’t know about it, you should,” Jon Tucker, a 2009 graduate of San Diego State said.

Nicolas Cage’s all-out assault on cinema goes in for its second kill in the 3-D disaster known as “Drive Angry.” Earlier this year, Cage’s “Season of the Witch” scarred the eyes and minds of thousands, and just when it seemed the worst was over, “Drive Angry” comes along in 3-D and three times as bad.
