When the 8th pick of the first round came, the OC Angels made their selection with their heads rather than their hearts when they took UCLA legendary coach John Wooden. Wooden who was one of two members to be protected in the 2007 draft came off the board to an uproar of UCLA alumni who were not born to see the days where UCLA would win Championships instead of losing in final four games. Yesterday the Angels efforts were rewarded when Wooden was hospitalized with a broken wrist and collarbone. OC Angels General Manager Jennifer Carlisle knew that this pick would cause problems. She was quoted today as saying "It is sad to see an old legend fall, and the UCLA people will always be mad that they are on our board. Hopefully they will just as passionate when we draft Jim Harrick next year to take Wooden's place." This controversial strategy came about when South Coast League basketball legends Andrea Jacobs and Amanda Engle reworked the Pyramid of Success they were weened on to place "Untimely Death" at the pinnacle.
The lesson is as always, the Death Pool truly is a battle to the death with no time to let "feelings" get in the way of victory.

I didn't realize we had UCLA alumni in our draft who were born after 1995. That explains why we ran out of Capri Sun.
