DBD 10.29.08 Mack '08!

PrintI'm sure Twist has some valuable things, but this is far more important. Alex Mack deserves his dap. Thanks to California Golden Bear Football News, it's time to participate in a longstanding time-honored American tradition: ballot box stuffing!
Votes are currently being taken for the Lowe’s Senior Class Award. You can see Alex Mack’s profile here. Fan balloting counts for 1/3 of the total with the remaining 2/3 determined by NCAA Division I coaches and national media members. You can vote once a day, so bookmark the page here.
As of today, Alex Mack is tied for 6th place with a pathetic 4% of the vote. Maurice Crum of Notre Dame has 44%, and some guy named Louie Sakoda has 17%. We need to get the vote out.
And now...he's alone at 6th place with a pathetic 6% of the vote. This just canno tdo. Time to mobilize the great Cal blogosphere. No way we're going to let some dude named Crum take down our genius center.
Speaking of smart big men. Enter POWENAGE.
Paul Pierce threw the ball high and deep, the idea being that Leon Powe, on the far end of the Garden court, would make the catch and roll in a layup that would more or less clinch a season-opening victory for the Celtics over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
One small problem: Pierce’s pass looked like a punt, and punts can be tricky. Powe had a decision to make. Should he take a step or two up the court and try to catch the ball in the air? Or should he let it bounce? And if he lets it land, with the Cavs’ Anderson Varejao already on top of him, what if he doesn’t get the bounce?
Powe decided to let it bounce. He got the ball, the layup and was fouled. He missed the free throw but the Celts nonetheless held a four-point lead with 5.3 seconds remaining. The Celtics emerged with a 90-85 victory.
Oh. Yeah. Football stuff.
But after digesting Saturday’s 41-20 win over UCLA, Tedford was happy with Riley’s performance. That appears to be enough to give him the inside track to be the starter against the Ducks.
“As of right now,” was Tedford’s response when asked if Riley was the starting quarterback this week. The past three weeks, the answer was “I don’t know yet.” It seems apparent that, unless Riley were to have a really bad week or something unforseen developed, that Riley will be behind center on Saturday,
“I thought Kevin played pretty well,” Tedford said. “I think the difference in the game was decision-making. Kevin was harassed a little bit but held onto the ball, pulled it down when he needed to. He didn’t make any poor decisions with the football, and that becomes critical in a close game. He made some really good throws, too.”
But Tedford wouldn’t go so far as to say Riley was the starter indefinitely. In fact, he and Nate Longshore still split first-team reps Tuesday at practice. But Tedford also said he’d rather not have it be this way. He’d rather have a clear No. 1 guy. He just isn’t convinced that is the case yet.
“The mindset of being able to know who your guy is each week, there is a little bit of security when you have that,” Tedford said. “But we’re in a position where we need to make decisions each week until this thing separates itself. I’ve said all along I don’t believe in the two-quarterback system. I don’t want to bounce back and forth if not need be. You’d like to have a quarterback you’re settled on and take it from there.”
Tedford said he isn’t concerned that the starter isn’t getting enough first-team reps in practice. Riley and Longshore have spent the past several weeks splitting first-team reps evenly at practice. He also added that he doesnt’ believe the bouncing back and forth between quarterbacks affects the receivers.
“I think they’re getting enough reps,” Tedford said. “We run a lot of plays in practice. They take every mental rep. They’re always really into the mental part of it. They throw all the routes. I don’t think that’s a huge thing.”
"While we're always looking for perfection, I think I can be overly critical of things," Tedford said. "I expect guys to complete every pass, and as I'm watching tape, that's not going to happen. I'm used to Aaron Rodgers and those types of players, so it becomes easy to be too critical of a very tough position."
Tedford has consistently admitted his distain for the two-quarterback system, but he said he's had no choice but to give the reigns of the offense to Riley, put them back into Longshore's hands for two games and switch back to Riley last week.
"The mind set of knowing who your guy is going to be each week gives you a little bit of security, but we're in a position where we have to make decisions each week until this thing separates itself a little bit," Tedford said. "When (Kyle) Boller was the quarterback, he was going to be the quarterback. When Rodgers was the quarterback, he was going to be the quarterback. You didn't even think about it from week to week."
On a sad note, Addicted to Quack's founder is resigning and returning to private life. On a nonsurprising note, Twist and Maharg infiltrated the comments and started talking about themselves. So cool.
Dump away, and start stuffing the vote.

I lied in my media interview. I can play football. I’m a fantastic quarterback. I taught Aaron Rodgers everything he knows. Put me in Coach Tedford!
Some love for the under-appreciated Derrick Hill and how practice has set him up to go against the Ducks’ top rushing attack.
Love the tiger trim, big guy!

Womens vball to take on Washingtons:
BERKELEY, Calif. – The No. 4-ranked California volleyball team looks to bounce back from just its second defeat of the season and protect its share of the top spot in the Pac-10 as it hosts Washington State and No. 6 Washington over the Halloween weekend at Haas Pavilion. The Golden Bears had their 13-match win streak snapped in a five-set loss to a No. 14-ranked USC team in Los Angeles and hope to begin a new streak as they enter the second half of the conference season. The Bears have not lost a match within the friendly confines of Haas Pavilion since Oct. 11, 2007, a school-record 16 straight victories.
THE FACTS: No. 4 Cal (18-2, 8-1 Pac-10) welcomes Washington State (7-13, 0-9 Pac-10) and No. 6 Washington (16-3, 7-2 Pac-10) to Haas Pavilion as it opens the second half of the Pac-10 conference schedule. The Bears take on the Cougars in a 7 p.m. match on Halloween night, Friday, Oct. 31. Comcast SportsNet-California will broadcast the match live with Roxy Bernstein calling the action and Krista Blunk providing color commentary. After a day off, the Bears return to the court to face the Huskies in a 1 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 2, matinee. Live statistics for both matches will be available via Gametracker links at CalBears.com. Admission is free to both matches for all youth 12th grade and below with valid student identification.
Field hockey to take on Stanford:
This Week
The No. 16 California field hockey team (13-3, 5-0 NorPac), winner of six of its last seven games, takes on rival Stanford (5-10, 3-2 NorPac) for the second time in two weeks when they play at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 1, at the Varsity Field Hockey Turf in Stanford, Calif. This marks the Golden Bears’ and Stanford’s last regular-season game and last conference game prior to the Nov. 6-8 NorPac Tournament in Farmville, Va. The Bears, who had already locked up the top seed in the conference tournament weeks ago, won the NorPac regular-season title when Stanford knocked off Cal’s closest challenger, Pacific, 2-1, on Oct. 26 to end the Tigers’ conference season with a 4-2 record.

Bears Go 1-0-1 against Arizona Schools
Cal played 200 minutes in a two-game homestand last weekend, battling back to a 2-2 double overtime tie versus Arizona State on Oct. 24 and grabbing a 2-0 shutout victory over Arizona on Oct. 26. With the Bears trailing, 2-0, against the Sun Devils, freshman forward Katie Benz got Cal on the board at 75:48 for her first goal as a Golden Bear with a second-chance shot that spun out of the ASU goalkeeper’s control. Senior midfielder/forward Nikki Schrey tied the game and prevented the loss for the Bears by firing a shot that hit the goalpost and deflected into the goal with 10:05 to play in regulation. Neither team was able to score in overtime, though Cal had five shots in the two overtime periods. After a scoreless first period in the Arizona game, Cal got goals in the second half from Benz and sophomore forward Alex Morgan. Benz scored in the 58th minute after junior midfielder Katie Oakes spilt the Arizona defenders and passed the ball to Benz for the gamewinner. Morgan gave the Bears an insurance score at 75:16 with a powerful shot from 20 yards that went to the upper left corner of the goal. Cal goalkeepers junior Gina Pellegrini and redshirt freshman Jorden LaFontaine-Kussman split time in goal with LaFontaine-Kussman grabbing three saves.

Here is the Ducks version of OKanes with a bunch of blog updates, like an injury to Jeremiah Johnson.
Looks like Masoli is to Riley as Roper is to Longshore. But Duckier:
Nobody seems quite ready to definitively declare Jeremiah Masoli the starting quarterback over Justin Roper — the official depth chart still has an "or" wedged between them — but it was clear Monday which one has a decisive edge at the position entering this week.
Unless something changes, Oregon coach Mike Bellotti said, Masoli is the guy.
"I’ve been very pleased," Bellotti said upon the Ducks’ return to practice following their win over Arizona State, which earned Masoli conference player of the week honors. "Because he certainly provides the speed and the athleticism at the position that we need, and I was also pleased with our ability to throw the ball — open it up a little bit, throw on first down more, just do some things that changed up the plan a little bit."
Masoli leads the No. 23 Ducks (6-2, 4-1 Pac-10) against California on Saturday in Berkeley, Calif., at 12:30 p.m. He said the performance at ASU, and not a perceived advantage in his battle with Roper, provided an infusion of confidence Monday.
"I just feel different in attitude approaching this week because of what we did last week," Masoli said. "And I think that was just the tip of the iceberg, because we missed a couple of big plays. We saw that on film, and we just want to capitalize on those and make the most of our opportunities.
"This week, we just want to explode."
If Masoli explodes, it might be like a Gallagher concert. First fifteen rows bring ponchos. Otherwise, youll be covered in its of Masoli. Le ugh!

They do but they never have enough
they run out pretty quick. Definitely get one in advance. And if you want to make some quick bucks, buy yourself around 10 or 20 of them and sell them for 10 bucks. That’s a good profit for a $2 poncho.

I heard former Cal OLB Gary Plummer
on KNBR last night on Damon Bruce’s show (who is begging for more Cal football calls). Gary was awesome. He called Vernon Davis’ (on the air with Joe Starky) bitch slap 15-yard Personal Foul call “Stupid is, as stupid does.”
Gary says he refuses coaching opportunities because he can’t stand the whiny me-first guys.
While Gregory’s unit has been spectacular this season against one dimensional offenses (gasp!), I have a feeling the Ducks and the Jimmy-hats could be disappointing.
Gary Plummer would be an awesome addition to the Cal staff, but I bet he doesn’t do it unless he’s a well-paid defensive coordinator. Doesn’t he need some positional coaching responsibility prior to be DC? It’s fun to think about…

Interesting article.
Riley is expected to start at quarterback for Cal.
Even Cal Coach Jeff Tedford is starting to wonder whether he’s being too hard on Kevin Riley.
“Expecting guys to complete every pass, that’s not going to happen,” Tedford said. “As I’m watching tape, every quarterback misses throws, but I think we’re kind of used to Aaron Rodgers. I think it’s a little too easy to be critical of a very tough position. Kevin is playing fine.”
That a boy Tedford! I knew you would come around sooner or later. I think all Riley needs is a little positive reinforcement and the knowledge that he does not have to constantly look over his shoulder. Despite the fact Nate will still take half the reps with the first team, things are looking up!
GO BEARS!

Ted Miller’s most recent post has tidbits on the Cal-Oregon game:
Masoli won’t run wild vs. California’s 3-4 defense:
Oregon quarterback Jeremiah Masoli has rushed for 255 yards and two touchdowns on 32 carries in the Ducks’ last two games, both victories. He’s only passed for 189 yards in those games. He’s been effective because defenses haven’t been accounting for him as a runner — or at least the accounting has been ineffective. But Masoli’s ability to run out of the spread-option is no longer a surprise wrinkle. Moreover, California’s 3-4 defense is better cut out for spying on the ball misdirection Masoli uses to lure defenders out of their assignments. The Bears’ four linebackers are athletic and experienced, and Oregon’s offensive line, though a veteran group, likely will need some time to figure out blocking a scheme they haven’t faced this season. Masoli’s passing has been hot and cold this year, but he may need to be hot against Cal for the Ducks to win.
Cal quarterback Kevin Riley’s mobility will be critical vs. Oregon’s aggressive pass rush:
Bears quarterback Nate Longshore played one of his best games in Cal’s classic 31-24 win at Oregon a year ago, throwing for 285 yards and two touchdowns. But the Bears’ offensive line isn’t as good this year and the Ducks’ pass rush is even better. That’s why it should be a significant benefit having the far more athletic Riley under center. Oregon leads the Pac-10 with 3.5 sacks per game, and ends Nick Reed and Will Tukuafu rank one-two in the conference with eight and six sacks. Meanwhile, the Cal line is beaten up, likely down three starters and a reserve on Saturday. That suggests the Cal quarterback will need to be on the move a lot, and Riley is far better at moving than the slow-footed Longshore.
ಠ_ಠ
Tedford says we need to tailgate more
From Rusty’s column
“With the no-huddle offense that Oregon runs, we need our fans more than ever this week,” Tedford said. “Fans should get an extra hour of sleep or have a little more tailgate or do whatever they need to do, but we need our crowd this week”
I want to see all kinds of bananas shotgunning beers this week people! The team needs us. It’s going to be a rough weekend with Halloween the night before. I better start drinking now to prepare.

Hope is dangerous, but Glory is addictive.
Although I have had my disagreements with Tedford over the years, I always love how he tries to get fans more involved. It shows he respects us as the 12th man and recognizes our importance. Last weekends game was a little underwhelming in terms of fan participation. We need a sellout this week! All 72,000 + seats should be filled! Have another one of those kid days or whatever if need be. Hell, half the time those little guys are louder than the adults anyway.

I only remember deleting the Toe picture. I didnt notice any comments below it, although there might have been some. Unfortunately, if I delete a post, all comments replying to that post go too. I am sorry that there was some “blowback” here, but I assure you it was nothing intentional. Please feel free to re-post them.
Or, alternatively, hold a terrible grudge against me for the rest of your life. Either way. Your choice.

I’ll try and not be so borderline funny/offensive and not to have so many crazy thoughts.

And to be fair, you were newer to the scene here when we were first introduced to Mrs. Carp. I didnt want to scare you off or make you think I was a total dickhead (more so) by deleting your post. OakTown has been around the block, if you know what I mean and I think you do, wink wink nudge nudge. Ill delete thes hit out of his comments when I feel like it. Hell, sometimes I sign in under his name and post shit just so I can delete it.

Yea don't feel bad about it carp when it happens to you
he does it to everybody. He’s posted as Oaktownmario, marioinoaktown, oakmariotown, TuckNJersey, JerseyNTuck, TheMaharg, TheGraham, etc.. And he’s even got control of CBKWit’s account and refuses to release it to him.
I’m not sure if he’s a control freak or if he has like 27 split personalities . . .

A fraternity brother of mine lost his password like in November of 2006 and claims I never helped him get it back. I remember none of this. Now, he refuses to read us.
So, you might be on to something here!

nah, he's just lazy
Also, I remember I left my fantasy baseball team unattended on Yahoo once and Brother Hot Sauce dropped my entire team. Oh what a night it was, having to yell at a guy on the phone to drop his ill-gotten Josh Phelps.
Still happy over the fact that the Nets signed Ryan Anderson. Now if only they can sign Leon Powe after this year...

I think you have signed in under my name too! Only you didn’t delete and what you said made me look like a bumbling idiotic drunk! Stop doing that dammit!
Nah, seriously though, I could swear you have done this a few times. I admit most of the crazy stuff I say is written by me, but I know you have logged in as me a few times also! I realize most will think I am joking, but I swear this has happened.
Are you talking about the double decker taco comment?

Judging from QB controversies, o-line injuries, two very good centers, it looks like Cal will be playing a mirror image of its season. This game will either be very awesome or very boring.
It could still be very bad football but end up exciting - kind of like every game so far except UofA

LMAO, funny shiat...
Ha ha, I have actually seen the episode where there is the bad Spock. I loved the goatee and the little daggers they all carried. Nice to know I am not the only Trekkie round here. Speaking of which, new Trek movie coming out in 2009! YES!

Nothing new in the article. I couldn’t even find a quote to post here. How about this one?
There are going to be slip-ups when you do something for so long, like answering the phone, ‘Stanford basketball’ or calling for the red team instead of the blue team.
Uh, can’t we get someone to answer coach’s phone for him?
Also, tonight is Cal Men’s Bball fan appreciation day
I think we need to findthe coach’s phone number and do a Q&A of our own.
