DBD 10.10.08 - What Goes Around Comes Around
Once upon a time there were two friends....
Then one friend beat out the other for the starting position but not really, cuz like a week later the Coach reneged, and the winner was the loser, and the loser was the winner.
But it's okay cuz Keller went to Nebraska and is having a jolly good time.

But Keller didn't forget how he got robbed of the job...
So he sent the pain train...

Sam Keller may not have got the starting job, but he got the girl - and that's all that matters.

Jeff Tedford is "curious" about the UW Head Coaching position?
Boise State's Chris Petersen, BYU's Bronco Mendenhall, Ball State's Brady Hoke and Wake Forest's Jim Grobe are other current head coaches whose names have been inserted into reasonable conversation. Hill, the coach at Fresno State, supposedly is interested in the job. California's Jeff Tedford is at least curious about it.
21 AP voters including kirk Herbstreit voted for Cal last week:
[click the link above]
USC isn't the only Pac-10 team to play freshmen:
The complete roll call of true freshmen used this season: UW 12, UCLA 11, Arizona State and USC 10, Arizona 9, California 8, Oregon, Stanford and Washington State 5, and Oregon State 4.
....
FOLLETT FALLOUT: If Arizona State quarterback Rudy Carpenter learned anything this past weekend at Cal, it was this -- never mouth off to an opposing linebacker. It's like digging spurs into a bull with a bad attitude.
Hey look, Cal leads the Pac in the turnover margin!
Cal +6
Hey look! Cal's rushing defense is just about as good as USC's!
USC - 2.44 yards per carry allowed
Cal - 2.49 yards per carry allowed
[Note from HydroTech: this may include sack yardage so it might not be entirely accurate... i'm too lazy to figure it out]
Hey Look! Cal's passing defense is 3rd best in the Pac-10 based on yards per attempt!
UA - 4.4 yards per attempt
USC - 5.1 yards per attempt
Cal - 5.8 yards per attempt
[Note from HydroTech: Anything below 6.0 yards per attempt is getting deeerrrn good]
Arizona - 88.73 QB rating allowed
Cal - 95.48 QB rating allowed

Now that the SAHPC is finally on track, I have a hard time seeing why JT would want to go to another program with facilities problems!
TOTAL BULLSHIT!!
Today’s a crazy day for me so I’m not going to comment further on anything… but this issue has been bothering me all morning…. I can’t stand ignorant people like this journalist slanging bullshit just to make his article more interesting.
1) If you call anyone’s agent… they’re going to tell you something that will help with future contract negotiations… IF there is a source (big if).. it’s Tedford’s agent and it’s just bullshit. It’s a cheap journalist trick.
2) He’s not short on cash… he made $2.4m last year, has two courtesy cars, country club membership, a phat house in Danville and a long term contract…and what appears to be two very happy sons, a happy wife and a happy dog… the fans love him, the city loves him, the school loves him and his compensation reflects that. This guy is saying Tedford would gonna get more love at UW?…
3) He get’s the SAHPC in 2010 and can truly recruit with it in 2009…. UW facilities are falling apart and they’re trying to get funding for a new stadium but no alum are stepping up and it looks like it’s not going to happen…. This guy is saying Tedford is going to go through the facilities fight ANOTHER TIME? Give me a break. After Tedford fought for the SAHPC all these years he’s telling us he’s not going to see it through now that it’s on track??
4) 2011 he gets his second retention bonus of an EXTRA $1.5M on top of his salary… AND he’s sleeping in his new office in the SAHPC… By then he probably get’s a new contract and a bump too.
5) he’s already making significantly more than Willingham… they would have to offer him in the $3.0M range for him to be even interested given how things are shaping up in Berkeley…. given the UW stadium problems.. I don’t see UW offering more than $1.6M…. this guy is suggesting UW is going to DOUBLE what they’re spending on a new coach when they can’t even get alum interested in a new stadium, which they desperately need?
Bottom line: UW is going through tons of problems right now with the team, recruiting and facilities… AND Tedford is considered a walking legend on our campus and our facilities seem to be on track now. The only year he’s doesn’t have something to ‘wait’ for is 2009… in 2010 he gets SAHPC and in 2011 he gets another $1.5M bonus!… You don’t think he’s going to wait around for that??? In 2011 he’s prob going to be the 2nd highest paid coach in the Pac10.
This article is bullshit and poorly researched. Kiffin is getting that job and everyone knows it. If there’s anything in Tedford’s contract that can be re-negotiated is his discretionary assistant coaches bonus pool… he gets $500K to tack on top of any bonuses an assistant coach is already getting… we should double that to $1M because Coach M prob should get $500K extra himself… Gregory and SImmons deserve some love as well. $500K for Tedford’s goodies bag is too small.
I’m sure they’re just using it as leverage for future contract negotiations. It’s a classic agent strategy.

I doubt this was even sourced through an agent or has any background research.
I don’t think Tedford’s agent would give any comment on an unopen position, for another school in the conference, that Cal still is going to play.
More likely, this is based around the wild (and totally made up) rumors that Tedford was interested in the UW job during the 2004 season. If he was (not) interested then, he must be interested now. No?
For a column, I just can’t see a writer putting any work into research at all, especially for such a throwaway line. I think they meant something more like, “Tedford should be interested.”

not even that far.
the writer was thinking “tedford is a good coach, he rebuilt a moribund program into a continuous top 25 one, he can do that here! for my readers!”

Story on NCAA Womens BBall reginal at Haas:
BERKELEY – Some of the best teams in women’s basketball will converge on Haas Pavilion when the University of California hosts the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Berkeley Regional March 28 and 30, 2009.
The field for the 2009 NCAA Tournament won’t be announced until March 16, but fans can reserve their seats this fall for this exciting event. All-session tickets, which include three games – two regional semifinals and the regional championship – are $50 for sideline prime seats. End zone seats are $35 for adults, $20 for youth (ages 12 and under) and $20 for seniors (65 and over).

NB: “I wanted a change from North Carolina. It’s quite exhilarating knowing home is over 3,000 miles away as well as attending the number one public school in the nation. I also had to continue training. I honestly do not know what I would do without gymnastics.”
CalBears.com: What has been the hardest, most surprising aspect about transitioning from high school to college?
NB: “The hardest thing came to me after my first midterm: being at the top of the class back home means nothing academically here at Berkeley; I must try even harder just to break the average standard.”

Yah, I think its Prop 1. It sounds good in practice, but it says itll cost 20 bil. Given all the problems with the economy and budget, you have to wonder now if its a good time to spend 20 bil on a bullet train from SF to LA.
We should just ride Zack Follett up and down. It’ll be a LOT cheaper!

Ya. And once its up and running fares can offset it somewhat. But its still a large sunk cost at a time when we have to beg the federal government for like 7 bil. Just doesnt seem right.

Well, the begging for 7 billion was an emergency issue. Funds for the high speed PAIN TRAIN will come from bonds issued by the state of California and will come back in fares, plus it will contribute jobs to the economy.
I gess I’m just not as optimistic that this will work as nicely as they clim.

okay, so
California ALWAYS gets loans to cover it’s bills in fall which will be paid off when tax revenue comes in. Just this time, no one is lending, EVEN to the state of California.
In the same way that the federal government will make a profit if it has a really long time to wait for that profit, so shall the state of California, including by increased income taxes from increased job-production.
Finally, this is a very workable system which has been successful in Europe for like 20 years and since the state of California is the same size as Italy (roughly) it makes sense for us to have SOME sort of reasonable public transit to cross it.
But I do think it will be hard to pass in this current state of economic crisis. We just have to do our own little ‘New Deal, Job Stimulation’. Really, can you imagine if people hadn’t voted for BART back in the day?!

SFGate talks to Mike Montgomery, and Cal lands a point guard … as a walk-on? I’m a little wary of ‘pass-first’ high school point guards, but sure, why not.
I myself have enjoyed the “dribble it to himself, off his face, careening into two defenders and then attempting a 180 backboard layup” Jerome Randle era. He’s like the modern day Tony Parker, without coordination or talent.

He can’t truly be the modern day Tony Parker unless he dramatically falls and slides six feet across the floor after careening into those defenders. Maybe that’s the kind of coordination and talend Randle lacked.

NFL fines DeSean
Jackson scored on a 68-yard punt return giving the Eagles a 14-0 lead over the Washington Redskins when (rookie kick returner Quintin) Demps joined him in the end zone. They posed face-to-face with arms folded and heads bobbing.
To the NFL, the act wasn’t among the “natural, spontaneous expressions of exuberance and celebratory acts” which typically are not penalized or fined by NFL authorities.
Looking at the replays, Jackson and Demps apparently violated the unsportsmanlike conduct rule when “two or more players engage in prolonged, excessive, premeditated or choreographed celebrations, particularly after scoring plays.”

Completely unrelated to Cal:
McCain calls Obama a “decent person” and gets booed. From SFGate:
The anger is getting raw at Republican rallies and John McCain is acting to tamp it down. McCain was booed by his own supporters Friday when, in an abrupt switch from raising questions about Barack Obama’s character, he described the Democrat as a “decent person and a person that you do not have to be scared of as president of the United States.”
Shouts of “traitor,”“terrorist,”“treason,”“liar,” and even “off with his head”, (referring to Obama) have rung from the crowd at McCain and Sarah Palin rallies, and gone unchallenged by them.
Here’s the best one:
“I don’t trust Obama,” a woman said. “I have read about him. He’s an Arab.”

Digged up a quote about Allen Bridgford....
“Not far behind Barkley and getting closer in the rear-view mirror is Mission Viejo’s Allan Bridgford, who seemingly cannot do anything wrong at this point. The outstanding Cal commit has lit up defenses to the tune of 21 touchdowns on the season and is completing 64% of his passes. On any other given year Bridgford could have been the No. 1 quarterback in the county, but with Barkley in the mix No. 2 is nothing to be embarrassed about. At 6-foot-3 and 215 pounds, Bridgford will be in the mix immediately at Cal and should be the starter within two seasons.”

If this Bridgford is as good as they say, we might have to melt down the golden statue of Longshore, remove the frescoes of Riley, disassemble the Mansion party yacht and put them all together to form the gold-plated Bridgford sailboat that uses frescoes of Riley as its sails. Tedford can use it to sail through the skies and watch recruits from the heavens while simultaneously claiming aerial superiority over Neuheisel and his helicopter. It sounds like you guys have your work cut out for you. Good luck.

If Barkely wasn’t committed to USC, which automatically gives him a gagillion star rating, there’s a decent chance Bridgeford could surpass him this year. Barkley had a slow start, but his history and reputation keep him in the lead.
That’s my impression, but then again I read biased Cal info. That and it does seem that a USC offer gets a HS player an automatic bump in his ratings.
You can’t really blame Barkley for the two losses his team’s had against two great opponents (with much more talent across the board). The team around him isn’t even a regular Mater Dei squad in terms of talent and will play at least two more games as underdogs.
Having seen a number of his games last year, I know he is quite the specimen. There’s a reason why he won the National Player of the Year Award as a Jr., though I doubt he will repeat this year
