DBD 7.24.08 You must think me painfully self-absorbed
There is no other reason as to why nearly every single non-rec'ed FanPost is from me. Well, that and my neurosis. I get up and just sit there, bored at like 6:45 AM, thinking "We could use a fresh DBD and if I don't do it, what if it doesn't happen at all?"
I definitely enjoy having a fresh DBD each day. So fresh, so clean. Do you ever get that unfresh feeling with a DBD near the end of the day? Over 100 posts, loading slow, full of something called a Maharg. So, it's not that I'm painfully self-absorbed, just that I want to provide a new opportunity daily for the delightful commentary that we have come to expect from the California Golden Blogs community.
Also, I'm painfully self-absorbed. But you would be too with cheekbones like this.
So, if you can beat me to the punch on the DBD, be my guest. And see my vest, see my vest. Now, on top links:
This was linked to in yesterday's DBD, but if it got lost in the 150+ comments there, here it is again. Cal swimmer Jessica Hardy apparently tested positive for a banned substance according to the Chron:
(07-23) 22:19 PDT -- Former Cal swimmer Jessica Hardy reportedly tested positive for a banned substance at the Olympic trials and an accelerated review of her case could remove the 21-year-old from the U.S. team as it prepares to leave for the Beijing Olympic Games.
Hardy's A and B samples from the recent trials in Omaha, Neb., both came back positive, according to sources and reports. The test results were first reported on Swimming World magazine's Web site and since confirmed by other news agencies, including the Associated Press. The prohibited substance was not identified but NBCOlympics.com said it is believed to be a stimulant.

Okanes picks Cal 4th this season.4. Cal. The Bears may be the biggest mystery in the Pac-10, much of that because of the second half of last season. Yes, Cal lost a good chunk of personnel on the offensive side of the ball, but that may have been easier to overcome had the Bears fulfilled that talent and kept the program’s momentum going into this season.
By most accounts, the Bears have rid themselves of the cultural problems they experienced last season. That in itself can help make up for the loss of their talented trio of receivers as well as tailback Justin Forsett. The biggest questions are whether the Bears can get consistent production from its green group of receivers, and if Jahvid Best is ready and healthy enough to become an every-down back. There’s no doubt the offensive line once again will be strong, and although Cal is unsettled at quarterback, that may be a good thing. Whoever wins the quarterback competition this fall likely will head into the season pretty well, because Nate Longshore and Kevin Riley should really push each other.
The hunch here is that Cal’s defense will be a lot better than last season. The switch to the 3-4 base defense will allow the Bears to really make the most of their talented linebacking corps, and some of Cal’s young down lineman played well in the spring and look ready to make an impact.
If some of Cal’s questions are answered, there’s no reason to think the Bears couldn’t finish as high as second place. There’s also no reason to think they’ll finish right here in fourth.
This might have been linked to previously, but here it is again. Ted Miller Q+A from ESPN says goodly things:
Eric from Turlock writes: Gotta question for you. I am a young Cal fan, but even I can remember the 1-10 days of football mediocrity. Obviously I am very happy with Cal's rebirth under Jeff Tedford. However, I have heard many Cal fans saying that perhaps Tedford isn't the man to take Cal to the next level (i.e. Rose Bowl, BCS). While I disagree, I see that there are some valid points to be made. Do you think that Tedford will be able to take Cal to the "promised land"?
Ted Miller: Eric, go buy a case of yellow post-its. Every time you hear a Cal fan say, "You know, I'm not sure Tedford is the man to take us to the next level," take out a post-it and write this on it: "In Tedford I trust." And then slap it on his or her forehead. Charge them $1 for the service, too. Seriously, I really hope Cal fans aren't at wits' end after a 7-6 season that ended with a bowl victory. Those days of 1-10 weren't so long ago, and Cal isn't exactly an ideal place to build a college football superpower. Cal will never put together a run like the Pete Carroll Era down South. Can it reach the Rose Bowl? Heck yeah. Should have done so a few years back when Mack Brown made like a DC lobbyist. Now, is Tedford perfect? Is he the super-genius some of us touted a couple years ago? Probably not. Bet he'd tell you the same. Last year's implosion was shocking, and like a stand-up guy, Tedford hasn't made excuses or hidden from speaking about it, like many coaches do. He's tried to be proactive, again giving up play-calling duties so he can better manage his program.
If I were an athletic director, Tedford would be on my dream list of potential head coaches.
John in Los Angeles writes: In all seriousness, if Cal's WR corp is solid, I don't see how Cal can not finish in the top 3 in the Pac-10. Whomever wins the QB position will be a star, Javid Best is a stud, their OL is solid and their D is probably the best in years. It's all about the WR's. Am I right?
Ted Miller: I don't share your certainty at QB. Longshore lost his mojo last year... can he regain it? Or, if Kevin Riley is the guy, he lacks significant experience. And one or the other will be breaking in a green group of WRs (as you note) and running backs. Best is an exciting player, but he's undersized: How many touches a game will he get before he starts to break down (see last year)? And I'm not sold on the DL or DBs (things look great at LB, though).
Yay for Ted Miller!
Big write up from Philly on DeSean:
BETHLEHEM - The smart money says that if rookie DeSean Jackson is able to keep his tiny little body in one piece this summer - which is a big if for a 5-9 guy who weighs slightly more than Shawn Andrews' right leg - he'll provide an immediate boost to an Eagles return game that had trouble getting out of its own way last season.
As for the immediate impact the second-round wide receiver from Cal might have on the Eagles' offense, well, optimism is in much shorter supply there.
Rookie wide receivers historically have been as quiet as church mice in Andy Reid's West Coast offense. The fact that Reid's playbook is thicker than 10 James Michener novels is one reason for that. The fact that the Eagles haven't done a very good job of drafting wideouts is another (see: Freddie Mitchell, Billy McMullen, Na Brown, Gari Scott, et al).
Woah woah woah, are you saying Billy McMullen was a bust?!?!?!?
Don't forget to enjoy democracy in action, people! Dump away! Go Bears!

Interesting note:
Late Wednesday, Mogulof said the UC police and Ayr agreed to conditions for health and safety concerns. The tree sitters must agree to take down the lines stretching across Piedmont Avenue; lower their waste daily; stop all efforts to bring in supplies from outside groups; and stop all efforts to take down or storm the barricades, Mogulof said.
UC police agree to supply sitters with a bag of food daily, one of the two tree sitters who went up Wednesday will come down, and if he has no outstanding warrants he will be released; the police will give 72-hour notice if they intend to “forcibly remove any tree sitter or end this agreement.”

another interesting note:
The California Oak Foundation has already said it will file an appeal, and the Berkeley City Council will meet in closed session at 5 p.m. today to discuss the possibility of filing an appeal. The council needs five yes votes to move forward with an appeal. With the July 13 death of City Councilmember Dona Spring, an avid tree-sit supporter, there are currently only eight members on the council.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
It is Save the Oaks Foundation, not California Oaks Foundation. That still means we need 4 votes to block an appeal, not an easy proposition for a council so stridently anti-UC even in the face of devastating its budget and its relationship with Berkeley’s biggest employer.
http://sportingcontrarian.wordpress.com/
I don’t understand. I have seen some people say it is not the California Oak Foundation. But reading the papers on file, it clearly states “California Oak Foundation.” So, I’m confused.
So, Woz won’t appeal. Isn’t Worthington fairly moderate on this? Hmmmm. If people can convince Capitelli this afternoon, that only leaves us 1 vote away. 1 vote.

Have any of you seen the new 2008 Stanford football commercial? The “gridiron guarantee” amuses me to no end.
Their website says “If at the end of the season you do not feel that you received your entertainment value for the ticket, Stanford Athletics will refund the price paid for the season ticket.”
Does comedic value count as entertainment value?
I wouldn’t buy Stanford season tickets to watch good football, but it could be the source of a good laugh.

BPD updates its article on the Court ruling from Tuesday with this photo of noted spokestud Mogs and Olson, right before our trip to Vegas:

Also, BECKY IS BACK, PEOPLE! And she wants an appeal. Her reasoning:
An appeal is like a lottery ticket with much better than usual odds of winning. Experienced legal commentators, in this paper and elsewhere, have given plaintiffs a good chance of winning on appeal, some noting a number of probable errors in the trial record.
She also invokes Goodwin’s Law Of Hitler-Mentioning (saying Hitler expanding to Poland is similar to Cal building the SAHPC). And finishes with this nugget:
And a good chance to save local taxpayers some money in the bargain.

Theb atting cages are named after Kent. But apparently, he and the coach are on the outs, which might explain why there isnt a giant 30 foot poster of Kent behind left field, even though he is BY FAR the most well known Cal alum.

Prior to the 2006 victory...
...”California has lost 10 straight meetings in Pullman, including a 51-20 loss the last time it visited in 2001. The Golden Bears last won in Pullman in 1979, a 45-13 victory. Since that game the Cougars have outscored the Golden Bears 354-165 at home.”
I am sure that had we played them in 2004, we would have defeated them.

I’ve seen good teams lose there and I’ve seen bad teams lose there. Us old-timers have been burned by the Palouse too many times to be sure about anything. You’ll learn.
All I am trying to say is that I felt that stat was a bit misleading. It includes many non-Tedford teams and fails to include one of the best (if not the best) Tedford team. In the Tedford era, Cal has won once and lost once at the Palouse. I predict strongly that Cal would have won in 2004. That’s 2-1, which is not as bad as the 0-10 you make it out to be when including data, which, in my opinion, is not relevant.

1993...
...ranked AP 16 for the trip. One loss to a higher ranked UW the week prior. WSU unranked. Final score: 7-34. We got the ranking back after the Alamo Bowl. Go Bears. I’m specifically talking about the place. The shit trip and the shit town and the shit fans and the shit weather have historically made it a shit place to play. Your faith in Tedford is strong. Our faith in Gilby was once strong. Then we played that game.
I just don’t know whether games played decades ago have any relevance to a game played in 2008. Even the 2002 game (which seems an infinity ago) seems to be losing relevance in my mind.

They do and they don't...
...but we are in big trouble if the current players take your attitude that these past episodes of laying eggs have absolutely nothing to do with them. It’s the same trip that has hosed many other teams for some reason and you have to be aware of that as you prepare. We all praise Tedford’s abilities, but 7-6 (3-6 in the Pac-10) suggests cautious optimism instead of a prediction of an early season warmup rout the shittiest location in the conference. Unless you want to learn the hard way, of course. I drove up there for that 1993 game. Fortunately, I was passed out drunk throughout.

They paid $5,200 to file this paperwork it seems. I strongly doubt they would do that if they didn’t know for certain the COB would back them up. After all, they’d have to drop out upon bond being posted if that wasn’t the case, and waste that money. Although what do I know.

Not to be all technical
but they filed the Notice of Appeal, which is necessary to get the trial court to prepare the record that will be reviewed once the actual Petition for Review (Appeal) is filed in the Appellate Court.
What’s interesting is that they have a Motion to Vacate set for August 12, which appears to be inconsistent with filing the Notice of Appeal. Maybe they will withdraw their Motion to Vacate, which doesn’t really help them on the injunction anyway.
In any case, nothing earth shattering and basically simple procedure preserving the opportunity to file the appeal. Also of note this has already costs them close $6,000, because of the filing fee of $655 (I think) plus court reporter fee of $5,200 – so there will be an appeal. What is not clear is whether there will be a stay on the injunction issue.

I really don’t know anything about the bonding requirements and IF these clowns can appeal without the bond, that may pose a problem. But again, they need a continued injunction which is so very difficult to obtain from an appeals court when the lower court ruled on it. There is no patent error here so even though there may be some slight delay – a couple of weeks? – those trees will come down.
