After eating 12 pieces of fried fish he is told they are running low on fish, management gives him 8 pieces to take home as a courtesey, and cut him off.

He calls police and the local news (to get cameras there) and protests outside the restaurant every sunday for false advertising.

A waitress at the restaurant said that Wisth has been a problem customer before, and that he’s even been allowed to carry a tab with them that remains unpaid.

Despite their prior generosity, Wisth said he still plans to picket the restaurant every Sunday until his demand for an endless supply of fried fish is met.

Gotta love our entitlement society.

And if this guy got health issues from eating 40 pieces a greasy fried fish all the time at this resttaurant he would sue them. And the health police would be involved and this guy would get a settlement because he decided to pig out on fried fish.

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. - In a vote of the Conference’s head coaches, CALIFORNIA senior utility player Valerie Arioto has been named the 2012 Pac-12 Player of the Year, while her teammate, junior Jolene Henderson earned Pac-12 Pitcher of the Year for the second straight season. UCLA third baseman Stephany LaRosa has been named Freshman of the Year, STANFORD senior shortstop Ashley Hansen has been selected the Defensive Player of the Year and CALIFORNIA head coach Diane Ninemire has garnered Coach of the Year honors, as Commissioner Larry Scott announced the softball all-conference selections Wednesday. ARIZONA STATE senior shortstop Katelyn Boyd was also crowned the Pac-12 Batting Champion with a conference-leading .457 batting average.

Pac-12 Player of the Year -- Valerie Arioto, California
The Pleasanton, Calif., native becomes the first Cal player to be named Pac-12 Player of the Year. A three-time All-Pac-12 honoree, Arioto currently leads the Pac-12 with a 1.22 ERA, 1.000 slugging percentage, .626 on-base percentage and 22 home runs. She is also the NCAA leader with 1.37 walks per game (74 total). In Cal’s two wins over Arizona State to clinch the Pac-12 title, Arioto hit a walk-off home run in the first game and then pitched a shutout in the second game, striking out 11. She is a finalist for USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year and the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award.

Pac-12 Pitcher of the Year -- Jolene Henderson, California
Henderson earns Pac-12 Pitcher of the Year for the second straight season. Only the second Cal pitcher to receive the award after Kristina Thorson in 2006, Henderson is also a finalist for USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year. She has a 1.22 ERA to go with her 29-2 record this season. In 211.2 innings of work, Henderson has struck out 249 batters and is holding opponents to a .191 batting average. The Elk Grove, Calif., native has been named Pac-12 Pitcher of the Week five times this spring.

Pac-12 Freshman of the Year -- Stephany LaRosa, UCLA
The fifth Bruin in Conference history and first since 2005 to earn Freshman of the Year, LaRosa leads UCLA and ranks second in the Pac-12 with a .455 batting average. She also ranks among the top players in the league with an .815 slugging percentage, 77 hits, 60 RBI and 16 home runs. LaRosa, who hails from Diamond Bar, Calif., earned Pac-12 Player of the Week and USA Softball National Player of the Week on April 17 after hitting .571 with 12 RBI, three home runs and seven runs in series victories over Stanford and Washington.

Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year -- Ashley Hansen, Stanford
Hansen is the third Cardinal to be named Defensive Player of the Year after Laura Lappin (2005-06) and Rosey Neill (2008-10). The Chandler, Ariz., native has a .960 fielding percentage with 86 putouts. A four-time All-Pac-12 selection, she leads Stanford and ranks sixth in the Conference with 107 assists. The 2011 USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year and Pac-12 Player of the Year, Hansen holds the Stanford career records with 79 doubles and 18 triples.

Pac-12 Coach of the Year -- Diane Ninemire, California
This is the second Coach of the Year award for Ninemire after winning in 1991. In her 25th season with the Golden Bears, Ninemire led the team to its first outright Conference championship since 1987 and only its second overall. Cal tied for the Pac-10 championship in 2005. Her squad has spent eight consecutive weeks atop both national polls. The Bears have also been No. 1 in at least one poll for 13th weeks. Cal is making its 28th NCAA Tournament appearance and 27th straight. Ninemire earned career win No. 1,100 on April 20, making her the 12th coach in the history of collegiate softball and sixth in Division I to reach the mark.

Hallie Wilson led the Wildcats with a .355 batting average this season, but the freshman has had to sit out this week with a mild concussion.

 The arrogance and blatant disregard for respect of American history here is astounding. Get a load of this.

Conservatives are having a laugh after it surfaced that the official presidential biographies on the White House website have been updated to inject President Obama into history. But kidding aside, this is a truly disgraceful behavior. In the most egregious example, noted by the Heritage Foundation’s Rory Cooper, the official Ronald Reagan biography is appended with the note: “In a June 28, 1985 speech Reagan called for a fairer tax code, one where a multi-millionaire did not have a lower tax rate than his secretary. Today, President Obama is calling for the same with the Buffet Rule.” (Over at Commentary, Seth Mandel has a roundup of more examples.) Put aside the fact that what Reagan wasproposing in 1985 had nothing to do with the Buffett Rule. Obama should not vandalize his predecessors’ biographies to promote his own agenda.

So apparently Obama isn’t just keen on bringing about radical change to the present and the future, he’s also seeking to inject his message into the past.

I appreciate the skills of the announcers that do play by play for the SEC and the ACC a great deal. ...... It is a shame that is the best the BIG10 can showcase on tv........

I also remember the Long Beach State - Fullerton battles for first place a decade ago.  Some classic games but those games have lost importance with Fullerton's lack of success.

From my understanding the ULL - LSU hatred and rivalry might be the biggest in softball.  Didn't a car catch on fire when they were playing a regionals years ago? 

Is Oklahoma vs Texas the biggest rivalry in the Big 12?

What are some of the  best rivalry games currently contested either in or out of conference play.
