PrintThis FanPost should not be confused with The Maharg's autobiographical diary entry of last Tuesday night entitled "Way To Suck RoyRules22." This one is totes diff. It has a comma!
RoyRules22 sucks, bc his DBD only got like 380 comments. I mean c'mon! And there wasn't even a DBD II. It's like he wasn't even trying out there. This is the California Golden Blogs, you gotta bring your A game. I mean, OK, if this is UWDawgpound or Building The Dam, thats probably a suitable effort. Hell, if this is Hall of Canes, thats the greatest post they've ever had!
So, thanks for your effort yesterday, but please. Either go big or go home. None of this 380 comments bullshit. Break 400 or never show your face here again!
Rivals says Mack Draddy is an All-American.
BERKELEY - California senior center Alex Mack was selected as a first-team All-American by Rivals.com on Wednesday. Mack, who was first-team All-America selection last season by Sporting News, has piled up several awards already this season, and collected a big honor on Tuesday night as the recipient of the National Football Foundation's Draddy Award given to the top football scholar-athlete in the country.
Mack, who landed a spot on the Pac-10 first-team all-conference team for the third straight year on Monday, is also a semifinalist for the Rotary Lombardi Award and a finalist for the Rimington Trophy presented to the top center in college football. He was named a first-team mid-season All-American by both the Sporting News and College Football News.
Mack is a two-time first-team Pac-10 All-Academic choice as well as a finalist for the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award for athletic and academic achievement. He was named one of 15 National Football Foundation Scholar-Athletes, which comes with a $15,000 postgraduate scholarship.
Randle drains a late 3 to push Cal past Utah:
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Jerome Randle scored 21 points and hit a 3-pointer with 6.1 seconds left to lead Cal to a 72-69 win over Utah on Wednesday night.
Patrick Christopher and Theo Robertson added 17 points apiece for the Golden Bears (7-2), but Christopher nearly cost Cal the victory.
His intentional foul on Utah's Carlon Brown with just under a minute left in the game allowed the Utes to score three straight points and tie the game 69-69 with 40 seconds left.
Cal ran down most of the clock before Randle hit the game-winning shot.
Luke Nevill led Utah (5-3) with 18 points, while Tyler Kepkay added 17 and Brown had 15.
Two VBall players receive honor:
The California volleyball team had four players recognized today as the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) announced the 2008 all-region teams. Junior outside hitter Hana Cutura and sophomore setter Carli Lloyd were each honored with first-time selections to the All-Pacific Region team. Senior outside hitter Am'ra Solomon and junior middle hitter Mindi Wiley received honorable mention notice. Cutura received honorable mention a year ago and was later honored as a second-team AVCA All-American.
Cal has had multiple all-region players honored only two other times in program history and set a new high with four players recognized this year. Last season, outside hitter Angie Pressey was selected to the team with Cutura receiving honorable mention. In 1989, Lisa Arce and Tiffany Rochelle were each selected to the All-West Region second team. Since 2002, under head coach Rich Feller, Cal volleyball has had six selections to the all-region team; all six have gone on to become All-American honorees.
Cutura leads the team in kills with 482 (4.42 kps; second in the Pac-10, 13th nationally) and service aces with 33 (0.30 saps; third in the Pac-10). She also puts in her share of work on the defensive side of the net, as third on the team in digs with 257 (2.36 dps). She has already notched the ninth best single-season output for kills this season and moved into fifth place all-time in kills with 1,359 and eighth place in all-time attacks with 3,172.
Two XC players are All-Pac10:
BERKELEY - Two members of the California men's cross country team have earned All-Pac-10 honors, as announced by the conference. Senior Yosef Ghebray was a first-team selection, while fellow senior Mark Matusak was named to the second team. This is the second straight year that Ghebray made the first team and Matusak made the second team.
Soccer players also get honor:
Dec. 10, 2008
<!-- LINKS TO RELATED PAGES BEGIN --> <!-- LINKS TO RELATED PAGES END -->
BERKELEY - The National Soccer Coaches Association of America honored California senior Tyler Barry, junior Stefan Frei and sophomore Andrew Wiedeman with spots on the NSCAA Far West All-Region first team today. Sophomores Hector Jimenez and A.J. Soares were selected to the all-region third team. This marks the most players Cal has had make the all-region team in the history of the program.
"Andrew, Stefan, Tyler, Hector and A.J. had outstanding seasons this year," said Cal head coach Kevin Grimes. "It is great to see them get recognized with the NSCAA Far West honors."
Wiedeman, a forward from San Ramon, Calif., was recently named to the All-Pac-10 first team and the Pac-10 All-Academic second team. He finished a strong sophomore campaign with a team-best 29 points (12G, 5A). He ended the season recording at least a point in the final six games and scored Cal's last three goals of the year. Wiedeman earned Pac-10 Player of the Week honors after a five-point weekend to open the campaign. He scored in double overtime when Cal beat UC Santa Barbara in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
Softball to host winter showcase:
Berkeley - California softball coach Diane Ninemire announced that the Golden Bears will host a Winter Showcase designed for players who are looking to develop their skills for competitive softball. The Showcase (Jan. 31, 2009) is ideal for athletes focused on playing the game at the highest levels. Hitting, fielding, throwing, pitching, base running, and all other aspects of the game will be featured.

Story on Utah game:
SALT LAKE CITY — Harper Kamp never saw the shot that Cal teammate Jerome Randle took with the game on the line at Utah on Wednesday night.
The sophomore forward had set the screen that freed Randle as the final seconds ticked away in a tie game.
"I just crashed the boards," Kamp said. "With Jerome, most of the time crashing the boards is going to be a waste of time."
With 6.1 seconds left, Randle swished a long 3-pointer as 6-foot-10 Kim Tillie arrived late to defend, and the Bears escaped the Huntsman Center with a 72-69 victory.
"They didn't hedge really well the whole game coming off screens, so I just figured I'd rise and put up a shot,'' said Randle, a 5-10 junior point guard. "I really didn't shoot threes well the whole game, so I felt like one had to fall for me. I knew it was going in."
"Everybody in the building knew Randle was going to shoot it," Utah coach Jim Boylen said. "You've got to give the guy credit — he made the shot."
Monty happy:
This was a big win for the Bears. By toppling Utah 72-69 on Jerome Randle’s game-winning 3-pointer with 6.1 seconds left Wednesday night, Cal returns home with a 7-2 record and feeling good about itself.
“It’s a road win against a pretty good basketball team. They beat Oregon, which means nothing other than they’re capable,” coach Mike Montgomery said. “The mental set was better tonight. We didn’t force a whole bunch of shots. Just little things that made a big difference.”
Utah is a good, not great team, but the Utes have lost just 36 home games the past 19 years, so winning at the Huntsman Center is an achievement. Added to Cal’s win at UNLV over Thanksgiving weekend, and the Bears have a couple road wins in their resume.
Is it too early to wonder how all this might — yes, might — impact the Bears’ long-term prospects?
Great Cal teams:
To commemorate the 100th season of Cal basketball, today we begin unveiling our choices of the 10 best teams in school history.
We’ll count them down, one each day, leading to the No. 1 team in a century of Cal hoops on Saturday, Dec. 20, the day the Bears return to action against Nevada after a break for final exams.
Enjoy!
10. 1970-71
Team’s record: 16-9.
Achievements: Ties for third in Pac-8.
Record vs. Stanford: 2-0.
Record vs. UCLA: 0-2.
Coach: Jim Padgett.
Top players: G Phil Chenier (16.8 ppg), G Charlie Johnson (13.6 ppg), C Ansley Truitt (16.6 ppg, 12.2 rpg), F Jackie Ridgle (17.3 ppg).
Bottom line: This team makes the list because its talent level is superb. Chenier and Johnson later become NBA guards, Truitt is a powerhouse in the middle and Ridgle a hard-nosed and productive forward. The Bears score 100 points or more four times, but are less interested on defense.

The Maharg makes me look like an idiot.
Wilner has a nice piece on the Pac-10's bowl tie ins...
http://blogs.mercurynews.com/collegesports/2008/12/11/the-pac-10-bowl-lineups-bad-and-heres-why/
We’ve talked to Florida bowls, and they aren’t interested in us, and I can understand why," Pac-10 associate commissioner Jim Muldoon told me a while back.
There have been discussions in the past about moving the Holiday, but bowl and conferences officials ultimately decided that would be counterproductive.
Their reasoning: If the Holiday were to move to Jan. 1, it would have to start at 10 or 11 a.m. to finish before the start of the Rose Bowl. At that time of day, it would be competing with a handful of Florida bowls. But by staying on Dec. 27, the Holiday has a broadcast window all to itself.
"I hear the Jan. 1 thing frequently,’ Muldoon said, "and it’s so 1970s."
The current Pac-10 bowl lineup will remain in place for several more years. When the league renegotiates its contracts, it might try to cut a deal with the Alamo Bowl.
It sounds great for the Pac-10: a fun city (San Antonio) in a nice facility (Alamodome) against a major conference (Big 12).
The Maharg makes me look like an idiot.
That would fit right in with its #2 v. #4 in the Holiday Bowl or its #3 v. #95 Big-12 or #24 Big East.
the SEC would be a great match. But too many bowls in the south snatched up the SEC….I doubt they can wrestle one away…unless, in this bad economy, one of the bowls decides to spice it up with new opponents.
I think any team would love to go to San Diego or San Anotonio for a bowl game. So these need to be good matchups
The Maharg makes me look like an idiot.
The SEC would never schedule a bowl game that far west unless it was a title or BCS matchup, considering all the regional tie-ins and how important the bowl games are to local businesses who sponsor them.

I swore it could be a Big 12 team, but I am probably wrong. What Big 12 finisher would the Alamo have?
Big10-Big12 game
The Alamo Bowl is a major American college football bowl game played annually since 1993 in the 65,000-seat Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. It matches the fourth or fifth choice (not necessarily fourth or fifth place) teams from the Big Ten Conference and the Big 12 Conference.

I think the Sun is a Big12/BigEast/ND bowl…in what order I don’t know. I think OSU played Mizzou in the Sun last year, right?

Why did the Insight Bowl ditch the Pac-10 affiliation?
Pac-10 # whatever seemed like a good tie-in for an Arizona-based bowl to have. The Insight Bowl czars preferred the Big T1e1n number 6/7/8/9 or whatever it is?
Realizing just how much Aaron Rodgers spoiled us.
If you watch the 1991 Citrus Bowl, Musberger notes that Clemson has 20,000 fans. Cal has 7,000. And you wonder why those prestigious Southeast bowls dont want us.
Please disregard the above ramblings as those of a clearly delusional fan.

Did the Cotton Bowl not like the Pac-10?
Remember when the Pac-10 # 2 went to the Cotton Bowl during the 1990s? At least that was a January 1st bowl with a storied history — a good destination for a Pac-10 # 2, I thought.
Nowadays, I suspect that Cotton Bowl is pretty happy with its Big 12/SEC affiliations, however.
Realizing just how much Aaron Rodgers spoiled us.
Indeed, UCLA played in 1998…and the Cotton Bowl’s moving to the new cowboys stadium and wants to be a BCS bowl according to wiki:
Reportedly, the Bowl will seek to become a BCS bowl game in 2011. One of the concerns for this game has been the weather since Dallas can be cold in January, but the new stadium would offer top amenities and a retractable roof.
The Maharg makes me look like an idiot.
The Cotton Bowl makes a lot of since for a BCS game. Barring that, I would love to see a Pac-10 placement there. With, maybe, the #2 to the Cotton, #3 to the Holiday, #4 to the Alamo, #5 to Vegas, and #6 to Emerald.
Randall Carroll may be more attainable than previously expected
After listening to this interview on Rivals, he’s shaky on SC now because his mom doesn’t like it, Sark left, and Hazelton transferred. His three schools after SC would be Cal, Florida, and Georgia. In what order, I do not know.
I do know that, if we get him, we’d have the three players who ran the fastest 100m in the state in a given track season— Jahvid, Vereen, and Carroll.
Success!
You ain't got it like Marshawn got it
I don’t even want to think about the possibility of Carroll coming to Cal. He’s as big a recruit as Desean was. Do we know what kind of kid he is? What kind of student? What kind of teammate?
Seems like a good, straightforward guy. Some of the recruiting media have said he’s very smart based on his interviews. i know he is ranked as high as DeSean was, but DeSean was more one-of-a-kind. I may be biased though because my friend had to cover him in HS. That didn’t go to well…

Interesting perspective from an East Coast fan on Tedford (blogger?)
The better our Tedford-developed Cal NFL players do…the better our “Cal/Tedford can develop NFL talent” prestige becomes and that means more recruits.
The Maharg makes me look like an idiot.
Very interesting perspective, considering this post is one year old.
by BearsNecessity on Dec 11, 2008 9:08 AM PST up reply actions
I assume that impression only gets better after what has happened thus far. Rodgers looks very good, Marshawn is a one man team, and Desean is the best rookie wide receiver. Too bad things don’t seem to have worked out for Boller.
Rodgers looks splendid, Marshawn has been excellent, DeSean has been good. Unfortunately, all three teams will be sitting home in January, barring some major collapses in the NFC.

We also want to get to a point where having Cal players in the pros is not a major thing. We used to follow the careers of players like Andre Carter and his epic shlong closely, because there werent too many other Cal guys out there. But now the NFL is teeming with Cal players all over, like Lavelle and Giordano. We want superstar athletes, but we also want tons of regular players, too.

Have we forgotten about Tony Gonzalez?
Sure-fire Hall of Famer who it (almost) seems like we’ve forgotten was a two-sport star at Cal. The fact that Mr. vegetarian Tony G has become something of an afterthought for us confirms just how much Cal football has changed.

by California Pete on Dec 11, 2008 11:17 AM PST up reply actions
The reason for that is the NFL has kinda forgotten Tony Gonzalez. He puts up great stats, but he’s on a terrible team.
This will appear on your public profile, encrypted to prevent harvest by spam bots.
It’s unfortunate – I felt Boller actually had a lot of potential. He was great in relief for McNair in 2006 and he had some great games in 2007 (witness his epic loss to the Patriots where he looked like Joe Montana).
He’s inconsistent, but I think I’d take him, in a heartbeat, over a JaMarcuss Russell, Daunte Culpepper, Brodie Croyle, etc.
Totally agree. Boller was in a tough situation in Baltimore. A lot of his inconsistency also comes from a stagnant running game and a lack of talent at wide receiver.
Bring him to Oakland, where we can watch him get sacrificed up close and personal.
by BearsNecessity on Dec 11, 2008 9:37 AM PST up reply actions
I do like Boller. But every circumstance where he could be starting right now would not go well for him unless Flacco gets injured. All the teams that need QBs are pretty terrible.
Wouldn’t mind him in Buffalo though.

The article doesn’t drool all over Tedford…but it’s sort of an “I appreciate his efforts and he doesn’t get enough acknowledgement” type thing:
Leinert is another Pac 10/Cali QB success story. Unlike Leinert, Rodgers needed a little work out o high school. When the Illini’s offer was the only one he got, he declined, went to Butte College. Worked hard and got better, good enough to eventually get into a Pac10 school. That would be Cal, under Tedford.
Kyle Boller is another Tedford student. AJ Feeley is another. Both of these guys had great games that showcased their ability and training (minus one or two bad decisions). They might not be in the top tier, and may never achieve the consistent excellence to get to the next level. Still, you have to respect the work of someone like Tedford. He’s taken six NFL QB prospects (add Trent Dilfer and Akili Smith) not necessarily top of the field, but solid, and guided them to what may be the top of their potential.
Factoring in Tom Brady who has been coached by a Bay Area QB guru, Tom Martinez, and several other top NFL players from the Pac10, I have to conclude that the Pac10 really does not get the respect (out here in the East) it deserves.

So, thats two micmen gone, one of which was not a man.
How does one become a micman? Can I do it? I always thought I’d do it really shitty, like, “Ok after the 3, give me a Go Bears, 1, 2, 3, Go, ok, why did you guys start before I said go, no, you need to wait for me to say Go, then you say Go Bears, ok, 1, 2, 3, no dont do it on the 3.”
Id be really bad at it.

Seriously, I have yet to see a mic man who can pump up the crowd with as much enthusiasm as he did. He legimately cared about Cal football, understood what was going on the field, and never let his enthusiasm wane. Even as USC, he really pushed the student section to stop sucking so much.
This is a huge loss for Cal football.

Kate has been the best mic-person since 2002 (when I started school).
One thing the mic-men need to do better is watching the TV commercial dude on the southern 20 yardline on the west sideline with the red vest and armband. He’s the key to knowing when the game is starting or not. When he’s on the field, don’t bother “making noise” because the clock hasn’t started. When he walks off the field, then the mic-men should get the students to make noise.
www.californiagoldenblogs.com
Kate was a good mic-person as well. She was really into it. I guess, for me, it’s a toss-up between her and this guy. Kate gets docked points, in my book, for making us yell when we were on offense.
And agreed, but it’s really tough to be aware of everything going on on the field at the time.

The incident occurred Tuesday evening at Abercrombie & Fitch, a store in The Village at Corte Madera, where a woman asked if she could use a bathroom, police said.
When she was told the store had none, the disgruntled shopper swiped a 5-gallon pail from a display and adjourned to a changing room. After she emerged and left the store, employees went into the dressing room and discovered that the woman had urinated into the bucket and dumped about $300 worth of new clothes in it, said Twin Cities police Officer David Woo.

Best v. Quizz
1:12
[Comment From TwistNClaw]
Can you tell me a couple reasons why Jahvid Best is better than Jacquizz “Quizzno’s” Rodgers?
1:13
Jonathan Okanes: Well, I believe Best should have been Player of the Year in the Pac-10. He had better rushing numbers overall and the receiving numbers are pretty comparable. Best is more of a home run hitter as well. But you also have to respect what Rodgers did this year in terms of bringing it every week (not counting the Oregon game, of course)
1:14
[Comment From Twistian Nathaniel Hook I]
The debate has become a bit heated here on the interwebs over who is the better back, Quizz Rodgers or Jahvid Best. Where do you stand?
1:15
Jonathan Okanes: As I said, I think Best is better. He has better speed and has shown he can run between the tackles a bit as well. But one thing amazing about Rodgers is his patience. He almost comes to a stop sometimes to wait for a block or read a hole, then can accelerate on a dime and get going downfield.
1:20
[Comment From Twistian Nathaniel Hook I]
How would the following impact your opinion on Rodgers and Best: Best had a 63% success rate on short yardage situations whereas Quizz had a 60%; Among common opponents, Best averaged 9.09 YPC whereas Quizz averaged 5.05.
1:20
Jonathan Okanes: Twist, you don’t need to convince me. I think Best is the better back.
1:29
[Comment From Rishi Rich]
On Best v/ Quizzno’s – Best’s output against Maryland and USC was 2.5 ypc. Quizzno’s output against PSU and USC was 4.5 and 5.0 ypc. Doesn’t that worry you that Best can’t show up for big games?
1:30
Jonathan Okanes: Rishi, good question and a valid point. Obviously, Best got hurt against Maryland so he may have ended up having a good day. Who knows? The USC thing confounds me. You watch that game and Oregon State dominated the Trojans’ defensive front. I still don’t know how that happened. But Rodgers also ran hard and was explosive, so yes, that is a notch in his favor.
oh snap

PREPARE TO LAUGH
SEATTLE TIMES 12/9/2008
Judge gives 7 year old right to decide
Seattle, WA (AP) – A seven-year old boy was at the center of a King County courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law and regulation requiring that family unity be maintained to the highest degree possible. The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her.
When the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried and said that they also beat him. After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him. After two recesses to check legal references and confer with the child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the Washington Huskies, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.
Remember, the enemy's end zone is DOWN!

I hate the spot foul PI penalty in the NFL
Basically, that 38-yard PI penalty in OT decided the game. Yes, it was PI on the DB, who was beaten on the play by the silly fast Hester. But the DB’s contact was caused by Orton underthrowing the pass. So the penalty greatly rewarded the Bears for a badly underthrown pass.
Realizing just how much Aaron Rodgers spoiled us.
DB has to look back for the ball the moment the receiver looks back. Kinda sketchy, but that’s the rule.
by BearsNecessity on Dec 11, 2008 9:04 PM PST up reply actions
I agree the NFL rule can get sketchy by exactly what happened (underthrown ball causes contact), but I think the NFL PI rule is better than the college PI rule. The college PI rule allows for abuse of the rule with little punishment in return (a mere 15 yard penalty instead of spot-foul).
www.californiagoldenblogs.com
If I was a DB, and hypothetically got beat (b/c that would never happen in real life), I’d just tackle the receiver and take 15 rather than give up a TD or a huge gain.
www.californiagoldenblogs.com
what if they awarded the 15 yd or spot foul variety depending on the nature of the call? Or is that too much for Ed Hoculi to deal with?

Hell no. Then you’re leaving way too much in the game up to the judgement of the officials – then one game could be judged differently from another. Intentional vs unintentional facemask is pretty obvious, as is “running into the kicker” v “roughing the kicker”, but imagine if it had to be decided if PI was intentional or not.

I don’t like college overtime either. Starting near the opponent’s red zone is kind of a joke. It should be one possession each starting in your own territory.
by BearsNecessity on Dec 11, 2008 11:04 PM PST up reply actions
I agree. The offense can literally gain 0 yards in college football overtime, yet kick a field goal. If the defense essentially stops the offense, the offense shouldn’t be within field goal range. At least put the ball starting on the 50, at least. Then the offense has to gain around 15 yards at the minimum for a far field goal.
www.californiagoldenblogs.com
I hate college overtime. Hate it, hate it , hate it. It’s a totally contrived method of deciding a winner — plays the overtime differently than the rest of the game is played. It takes aspects of football out of the game, like field position and special teams (save for FG/PAT units). It’s about as bastard as the penalty kicks in soccer or the shootout in hockey.
Realizing just how much Aaron Rodgers spoiled us.
And I hate that NFL overtime winners are determined, in a large part, by the flip of a coin.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
NFL officials are quick to defeat this assumption. I don’t know the current stats, but for the longest time, it was like the team that actually LOST the coin flip had a 60% chance of winning the overtime games.
www.californiagoldenblogs.com
Err, more correctly, the team that LOST the coin flip won 60% of the time. It was some weird stat like that which completely destroys the whole notion that the coin flip determines the game.
On the other hand, it does happen that the coin flip winning team scores on their first drive and wins. That is unfair that the defense’s offense didn’t have a chance. However, when the team that loses the coin flip more often wins the games than the team that wins the coin flip, it’s hard to really complain.
www.californiagoldenblogs.com
really? because i’ve seen the opposite statistic, namely that the coin-toss winners won 60% of the time.
in any case, if the results of the coin toss don’t correlate 50/50 with the winner of the game, then a coin toss clearly shouldn’t be used.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
http://www.advancednflstats.com/2008/10/how-important-is-coin-flip-in-ot.html
Turns out, the coin toss winner wins 60% of OTs and, most importantly, 30% of OTs end with only one team having possession.
This will appear on your public profile, encrypted to prevent harvest by spam bots.
Yeah, I was exaggerating a lot. For a while (meaning a few years in the early 2000s), it was just 50/50 and the coin toss “apparently” didn’t determine the winner of OT games.
I think it’s only fair that both teams’ offenses get a chance to score. Thus, I endorse the college OT although not all particular aspects of it.
www.californiagoldenblogs.com
College OT is pretty dumb too for exactly that reason, but at least it gives both teams a shot. Plus, you have to make a decision of the field goal vs the touchdown sometimes. If it’s 4th and inches in OT and you have first possession, do you trust your defense to stop the other team’s offense?
Still, infinitely superior to NFL rules.
As for PI rules, there are arguments both ways – in college ball, you can commit blatant PI when you’re desperate and it’s only 15 yards. On the other hand, in the NFL, teams fling the ball desperately when they have no chance and hope for a PI call to gain all the yards. I dunno.
