They like Chipotle because their strength coach (Coach Mike Blasquez) highly recommends their burrito bowls.

Man, I remember the wet burrito from la burrita. One of the perfect meals to accompany a pretty strong buzz.

100% agree with Dan. Come on, you’ve got Gordo’s, Hi-Tek, even La Burrita. The Berkeley of my youth is dying.

More surprising is how many of these BB players choose Chipotle. It’s not bad, but c’mon, in Berkeley, this is their favorite?

I love these posts. The interviews are by far the funnest to read. Getting to see a little bit of who these kids are outside of basketball makes watching them play even more fun. Nice job Jeff.

I particularly pay close attention to the best place to eat question. Can’t believe there’s a Chipotle on campus. We’ve sold out!!! : )

A good question that should have been asked, as it is obvious and not over the line, is whether Emerson is frustrated with his playing time so far. Also, he should have been asked what his coach thinks he needs to improve in and whether he thinks there is any other part of his game that particularly needs improvement. I guess the point is that some of the questions need to be more directed to how he feels about his game so far.

Jeff- I really enjoy reading these. It is nice to get a little of the players personalities off the court. It helps humanize them a bit, and perhaps helps us as fans to be a bit more patient when we see basketball at the level of the 1st half vs. Notre Dame and the 2nd half vs. BC. Double ouch.

Keep these up, they’re great!
