DBD 10.9.08 Funny Joke Funny Joke
I've slowly come to a horrifying realization. The words that are coming out of my fingers are being mis-interpreted. When I write something like this:
Funny Joke Funny Joke Funny Joke Funny Joke Funny Joke Funny Joke
It actually comes out like this to you people:
blahblahblahblahblahblahblahMarshawn.
When I sit down to write these things, I put a lot of thought into which kinds of dick jokes I am going to use. So, to find out that people are misinterpreting my expertly written witicisms, well, you can understand how frustrating it is.
So, my thought is this. If I were to flip the script on you, would that lead to hilarity? Does this come out funny:
blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahPeaceBeUponTedford
Does that turn into a funny joke for you guys? Can I consider the script flipped? I need to know. I need to get throught that TnHBlock filter you have running. Or, as this might read to you now, blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahPAINTRAIN!
Women's tennis goes to Moraga:
BERKELEY - The California women's tennis team heads over the hill to Moraga, Calif. for the St. Mary's Invitational at the Korth Tennis Complex this weekend, Oct. 10-12. The Golden Bears will play in their final individual tournament before the ITA Regional Championships. In addition to host St. Mary's, Cal will also face players from Stanford, Washington, Portland, Gonzaga, San Francisco, Santa Clara, UC Davis, Pacific, San Jose State, Boise State, Sacramento State and Nevada.
Selected Cal players will compete at the three-day invitational where play opens at 8:30 a.m. each day beginning on Friday, Oct. 10 and will include separate singles and doubles draws as well as a back-draw for eliminated players. Singles and doubles finals will take place on Sunday, Oct. 12.
Women's golf ties for fourth:
SAMMAMISH, Wash.- The 2008 University of California women's golf team finished tied for fourth in the Edean Ihlanfeldt Invitational Wednesday, Oct. 8 at the Sahalee Golf Club in Sammamish, Wash., with a 54-hole score of 927 (310, 308, 309 +63). The Bears finished behind tournament winner Stanford's +41 (303, 303, 299 - 905), second place Oregon's +57 (299, 309, 314 - 921) and third place Washington's +58 (310, 310, 302 - 922). Cal tied with Bay Area foe San Francisco (321, 298, 308 - 927, +63).
Men's swimming debuts against Pacific:
This Week
The California men's swimming team opens the 2008-09 season in a dual meet against Pacific on Saturday, Oct. 11, in Stockton, Calif. The Golden Bears divers will make their season debut in the Oct. 30 dual meet against Washington, as there will be no diving in the Pacific meet. Second-year Cal head coach David Durden has another talented squad, including Beijing Olympic gold-medalist Nathan Adrian, fellow 2008 Olympians Martti Aljand, Guy Barnea, Damir Dugonjic and Martin Liivamagi, and a large cast of All-Americans including David Russell, Sean Mahoney and Graeme Moore.This will mark a homecoming for Cal first-year assistant coach Greg Meehan, who was previously the head coach of the Pacific swimming teams.
Women's swimming, too:
On the Pool Deck
The California women's swimming team opens its 2008-09 season in a dual meet against Pacific on Saturday, Oct. 11, in Stockton, Calif. The Golden Bears have plenty of talent and experience back in the pool this season, including 2008 All-Americans Madison Kennedy, Dana Vollmer, Lauren Rogers, Lauren Boyle, Alexandra Ellis, Tara Thomas, Hannah Wilson and Amanda Sims. Head coach Teri McKeever also has a solid blend of first-year athletes, including Olympic silver medalist Sara Isakovic. Cal opened last season against Pacific (in Berkeley) and triumphed by a score of 163-90. The Bears are 25-2 all-time against the Tigers.
Men's golf hangs out with some Chinese people:
BERKELEY - Ten of the top amateur/junior players from China comprising the Young Golf Heroes completed a six-day cultural exchange in the Bay Area with events hosted by the California men's golf program last weekend, winding up a trip that head coach Steve Desimone believes may be reciprocated in the future with a visit to Asia by the Golden Bears.
The Chinese delegation was welcomed Friday with a round of golf at the Mira Vista Golf & Country Club, with head-to-head competition that saw the Bears take the team title and sophomore Eric Mina come away with the lowest score of 69, followed by a ceremony and banquet. Saturday's events included another round of golf and camaraderie at Orinda Country Club, leaving both delegations grateful for the opportunity.
Okanes has practice report:
There were so many players wearing red jerseys at Wednesday’s practice, it almost looked like a Stanford practice. But fear not, there always is a sea of red during bye weeks as players get time off from practice to rest or heal up their bumps and bruises.
A red jersey means a practice non-participant, and there were a lot of those Wednesday night as many of the young players in the program wore pads and hit hard during live crossover drills. Coach Jeff Tedford said none of the players wearing red had anything significant and should return to full capacity when the team returns from its bye weekend on Sunday night.
Tedford did say something Wednesday that was somewhat notable, in a clarifying way. Immediately after Saturday’s game, he was asked if Nate Longshore would remain the starter for the next game. His answer? “Probably.” But he immediately followed that up by saying he didn’t know for sure and the evaluation is continual, which has been his watchword all season.
I interpreted that to mean Longshore would get first team reps but could be surpassed if Kevin Riley outplayed him in practice. But Tedford said Wednesday that the quarterbacks will continue to split the first team reps during practice next week.
Riley is cool. Under fire:
BERKELEY — Everyone seems to agree that Nate Longshore and Kevin Riley have handled their quarterback competition flawlessly. They even seem to be comparing notes on how to deal with a demotion.
In his first public comments since being replaced by Longshore as the starter, Riley sounded a lot like Longshore did when he lost the No. 1 job to Riley out of training camp.
"I'm just going to go out there and keep working every day and make the team better every day," Riley said several times during a interview after practice this week.
Now let's go back to the end of August, when Longshore addressed coach Jeff Tedford's decision to go with Riley as the starter.
"I'm just doing the same thing, focusing on getting better and improving, and focusing on doing whatever the team needs to win," Longshore said on several occasions.
Okanes has a chat today, btw, at 1. So, czech that out!
If you see any other Cal-related links. Or how our economy is, yknow, in shambles bring those bad boys on over. blahblahblahblahdumpaway! blahGOBEARS!
The opinions expressed in a FanPost are, in every way, reflective of the opinions of every California Golden Blogs Marshawnthusiast. Moreover, they are reflective of every employee of SBNation, including Tyler "Blez" Bleszinski.

I’m sure the administration is going to take credit for somehow “creating jobs” …
I think the really scary thing that nobody is talking about is how LIBOR is still rising despite the coordinated rate cut and the capital infusions of the UK bailout plan…. many people’s consumer credit cards are linked to LIBOR and their minimum payments are going to go up… if we see another 200bps increase in LIBOR over the next two or three weeks it’ll kill our christmas season.

When you say nobody is talking about LIBOR, who are you talking about? Because, over here at least, everyone is talking about LIBOR and how it’s way too high.
The huge® problem is simply that banks won’t lend to each other.

I’ll take ‘Poor Assumptions’ for 500 Alex.
Sorry bout that… everyone over here talking about it too… especially the retail analysts are going crazy over it… i looked into the UK bailout plan and it’s just ok… it’s actually worse than ours…but the UK is doing the right thing by authorizing a HUGE bailout… 500 billion pounds relative to the size of their economy is way over the top… but LIBOR still ticked up and is still not stopping.. so what’s going to stop it is really the question… HSBC said they’re not participating in the bailout (assholes) but RBC said they would…. if Lloyds and/or Barclays also comes out and announce they would participate… then and only then LIBOR might stabilize.

The good news is that RBS is one of the best-run banks in Britain, so their participation is vital.
I’m not sure what effect HSBC has on it. Remember, HSBC has been actively lending something like 2 billion pounds to other banks. They support it, but they may actually not need it.
It’s unfortunate that we’re pinning hopes on Britain and British banks, but what choice is there left?

That’s not what I have against HSBC…we all know they’re in good shape, they were one of the only banks thinking about buying some of our bad banks when we first started tanking and they announced yesterday that they don’t “need” the bailout…but that’s not the point.. it’s all about full participation… that’s the key….
By NOT participating they’re NOT giving up convertible preferred to the government and will have a competitive advantage over those banks that do participate… when they don’t participate, it makes it less likely the others won’t either to remain competitive.. cuz HSBC shareholders won’t be diluted but RBS’s will… if they ALL jump into the pool together then nobody is worse or better off…
Hell, even if HSBC were to say that they would participate it would give the other banks cover so they can participate… and thus make the bailout more likely to succeed.

Andbears….no not really…
if you are using visa/mastercard/discover… then your rate is made from LIBOR + (a bundle of domestic rates)…
LIBOR traditionally remains very very stable, but lately it’s been jumping around from 2 to 7 down to 4.5 again etc… LIBOR is a representation of the “pure cost of money”… or the rate that near risk free london banks lend to eachother… but the situation is FUBAR right now and there’s a huge upward bias to LIBOR and looks like the upside is 2 more percentage points from 4.5 (in recent memory, LIBOR is always around 2%).
Anyway… LIBOR looks like it’s on its way to 6%… so that’s triple the levels it’s been at for a few years… so, what about the ‘bundle of domestic rates’…?? There’s a downward bias to the fed funds so it’s going to be generally cheap for VIsa and Mastercard to get money to lend to you… but…
Don’t get me wrong.. both LIBOR and ‘domestic bundle of rates’ have an upward bias… but it’s the LIBOR that is rising fast… who knows… the ‘domestic bundle of rates’ portion of your APR might go down… so it might even out somewhat….but one thing’s for sure… try not to spend anything more on your credit card cuz your mortgage and student loans are linked to LIBOR too. Just be smart about it and read your card agreement online.

I think they have a regular credit card… it’s blue… that’s a credit card… but if you have amex card … that’s called a ‘charge’ card… you have the pay off the whole balance each month and they don’t apply any APR on your charges. Hence in the financial world Amex is considered a consumer marketing company and not a credit card company.

I’m a civilian but it is strange to see LIBOR go up and the Fed cut rates down. With LIBOR going up, wouldn’t that improve the profitability of banks? Also wouldn’t money market rates go up?
BTW, excellent reappraisal of Alan Greenspan in the NYTimes.

True you usually see relative parity given the ease of capital mobility…arbs will always iron out differences… but when bailouts and governments etc are involved, it distorts the market.
No question it would improve the profitability of banks… everything we’ve done in the past week has been to encourage banks to start lending again… the key for banks is to get money at or near the fed funds rate and lend it out at a high rate… however, as far as their current book of loans… most loans are at fixed rates and don’t float around… and if they wrote a ton of ARMs then they’re dealing with defaults left and right. But in general if banks just started to business again, they would make a killing right now.
As far as money market funds… it all depends on what they’re doing with your money… since no money fund managers are taking any risks I would imagine a rush to treasuries and money market rates go down… but i really don’t know how they do biz… i’ve never bought into a money market fund myself so it’s hard for me to say. I only buy I-Bonds…waaaay better than any money market funds.

BTW… get 50% of your I-Bond purchases in bearer form …after one year they can be cashed at any corner bank (it’s like cash) and it’s safer than other bearer bonds b/c they’re registered so if your house burns down, they’ll replace them free.

Those assholes!!! They put a limit on the total limit too … it was too good of a deal really.
I still won’t hit that limit… i have my company take out $200 per month from my paycheck pre-tax so it also lowers my adjusted gross income.
- btw… i’m advocating 50% in bearer form NOT because the SKY IS FALLING or anything… it’s because I-Bonds can be linked to your checking account and it’s too easy to just move it over (no transaction fees) and spend it… so if you really want to save… have it in paper form.

Two-QB system
At the beginning of the year, Tedford pledged that both QBs would get playing time this year and it’s looked that way. It seemed as if Longshore lost that right in the Michigan State game after throwing two picks, but, clearly, he’s regained momentum after Riley’s poor performance during the Colorado State game and his own decent performance at ASU.
That said, if it’s the 4th quarter, Cal is trailing by seven, Longshore has already thrown one fourth-quarter INT – would Tedford put in Riley or not?
Maybe he will implement the two-QB system that the Arizona Cardinals used in the NFL last year – Leinart as a game manager, Kurt Warner when playing behind (except, of course, Longshore is the experienced QB and Kevin is the new guy, but at least the first letter of their names correspond to their NFL counterparts!)

Well, I agree and I disagree. In the 4th, they seemed to minimize Longshore’s role a lot there. But also they were trying to run out the clock as much as possible. That requires more running than passing. So, even if Riley was in, he might not have done a lot of passing. Of course, Longshore didn’t really do much in his limited attempts in the 4th. Riley might have done better.
Had we merely had 1 long drive during that time period, the game would have been effectively over quite a bit sooner. But we wouldn’t have as much appreciation for our defense. Mixed bag.
Honestly, the real problem seemed to be that Vereen was tiring in the 4th and, for some reason, they wouldn’t spell him with Slocum. That was the larger problem than Longshore’s limited failure.

Vereen might have been tiring in the 4th – perhaps. I think the bigger issue was just that ASU was keying in on the run. They knew we were going to run, and played to stop it.

Interesting Recruiting Note
Devon Kennard, the consensus #1 defensive recruit, was scheduled to take his official visit to Cal but couldn’t travel due to a season-ending injury. What’s most interesting to me is that we’re in the running (top 5) for a recruit like this. His injury is pretty bad (I believe it’s a torn ACL), so maybe we can swoop above schools that hesitate.

Kennard said he’s interested in Cal because we’re recruiting him as a Buck LB. I think that’s an interesting pitch. He definitely seems like the prototypical 4-3 DE… and of course, we don’t play 4-3 any more so I guess Buck is the next natural position.

Not Cal-related, but college football related nonetheless
http://blog.al.com/goldmine/2008/10/franklin_out_as_auburns_offens.html
Auburn offensive coordinator Tony Franklin was relieved of his duties Wednesday halfway through his first season of directing a spread offense that never caught fire. Franklin is no longer on the coaching staff, said an Auburn official.
I don’t know if people realise how big this news is.
For the past year or two, we’ve been hearing about “spread, spread, spread” and how it’s the new face of the college football. It wasn’t just smaller schools running it to keep up with the big boys – Penn State runs it, Michigan hired RichRod to run it, and Auburn hired Tony Franklin from Troy to run it.
The fact that five games into the season, Tuberville would fire Franklin shows a different picture. Maybe the spread isn’t going to take over every single team in college football.
A more disturbing takeaway – coaches are on such a short leash. Most football fans are intelligent enough to realise that overhauling an offensive system takes time and doesn’t happen right away. Look at RichRod at Michigan. Yet the fact that five games in, the trial is over? This is quite wrong. What’s next? RichRod gets fired for not winning the Big Ten in his first year with the wrong personnel?
Patience is gone from college football. It’s why coaches are fired after two years, coordinators are gone after five games, and quarterbacks get changed from game-to-game.

Hawkins and Stevens having their hiccups in Tennessee
The Hawk making errors in practice.
They’ve watched a player with good hands and quickness, something Hawkins displayed during a preseason game when he hauled in a 51-yard touchdown pass.
But they’ve also seen a rookie who makes too many mistakes, whether it’s lining up in the wrong spot or going to the wrong guy in run blocking.
The mistakes are why Titans fans have seen very little of the fourth-round pick this season, even though the team needs playmakers at the position.
Craig made a mistake on what would’ve been a TD catch:
The Titans’ opening drive was an impressive 11-play, 74-yard march, but they wound up settling for Rob Bironas’ 20-yard field goal. On third-and-goal, Collins hit rookie tight end Craig Stevens in the back of the end zone for what would have been a touchdown, but he could only get one foot in bounds, stepping on the end line.
"I just ran the route a little too deep," Stevens said. "I was just focusing on the ball, and I was kind of unaware of where my legs were. I was thinking touchdown, but I just ran the route a little too deep. It was a great throw, and I was wide open, but I just ran the route a little too deep."

If you put another line in between the code for the link and the code for the quote, you’ll get a blockquote that goes beyond the first paragraph (basically, hit enter twice before you start the quote). Example (the first has blockquote right below the link code, the second has link code, empty line, blockquote):
Link
blah blah blah
why is this not blockquote
blah blah blah
