Happy 4th Of July Weekend!

4thofjuly_medium

via www.shirtsnob.com

 

Here's hoping you all have a great 4th of July.  Tell us, how will you be celebrating?  Here, we'll be celebrating this weekend with more Sweet 16 action in the CGB Meme Invitational.

And reader Berklium97 has been kind enough to organize the questions from the Jahvid Best chat with Contra Costa Times writer Jonathon Okanes.  We were lucky enough to get some of the questions answered by Jahvid Best.  If you missed them or any other questions, the information is behind the fold.  

GO AMERICA!  GO BEARS! (in that order, natch).

Yahoo! NFL Fantasy Football and CBS Sports College Fantasy Football Signup Info

It seems like we should have enough interest to do at least one fantasy football league and one college fantasy football league, so I went ahead and set the two up.

To sign up for the Yahoo Fantasy Football league, assuming you already have a Yahoo ID:

1. Go here
2. Click "Join Custom"
3. Enter League #184898, password "gobears"

And you should be good to go.  You'll be asked for your team name and all of that stuff.

To sign up for the CBS Sports College Fantasy Football league, assuming you already have a Sportsline ID:

1. Click here
2. Enter a team name
3. Use the password "gobears"

I've set both leagues for live drafts on August 15, with the Yahoo league first at 4:30 PM EST/1:30 PST and the college league at 6:15 EST/3:15 PST.  These times are obviously subject to change depending on the availability of those joining the league.  Please join us if you're so inclined, and go Bears!

What Excites You The Most About Cal Football? (2009 ed.)



A few weeks ago, we focused on the Debbie Downer side of Cal football. Would the sky fall on our team's chances from the opening kickoff? Would quarterback, quarterback, quarterback continue to torment us? Would one of those doomsday scenarios that chowder was thinking of here unfold? 

Yeah, enough of that. Let's move toward the brighter side of life. Let's figure out what we'll all be looking forward to the most in 2009. I'll talk about three particular units that have me excited this season, and the first one has something to do with some mystical trophy that everyone obsesses over for whatever reason.

The Daily Cal Interviews Aaron Rodgers

An excellent interview with one of Cal's greatest QBs. Here's a sample of some great quotes:

"I've had parents send photo albums of their daughters out to me. Also to my parents out in California. With letters attached telling either myself or them why I should be dating their daughter. A lot of parents just trying to pawn their daughters off on me."

and

"I'm like wanting to watch Cal, UCLA, some of these big games going on, but we never get them. Occasionally Cal will be on TBS or play on ABC, but usually we get really bad regional coverage out here and I have to watch one of those boring Midwest games."
