7/25 DBD: Taking Back The Bear Dump For The Proletariat
by oaktownmario on Jul 25, 2008 12:41 AM PDT
Email
PrintAs our own Bertolt Brecht explained recently, the history of the CGB is th history of class struggle. This is clearly evident in the last 499 DBDs which have been horded, monopolized, and controlled by that greedy, painfully self-absorbed, capitalist pig named Twist. But the proletariat will not stand by idly while Twist and the ruling class covers the eyes of masses and profits from all the glory of the working class. So today begins the revolution that our sons and daughters will mark down in their history books as the day that Twist was overthrown and his DBD streak was no more!
[And now back to reality]
I'm not sure I have any interesting links, but I didn't feel like waking up at the butt crack of dawn to beat Twist to the punch, so to speak, so here goes.
In yesterday's news on the stadium front, the Berkeley City Council yesterday announced it would not be appealing the Judge's decision anytime soon. [Apparently there were not enough votes supporting an appeal and the council can't/won't consider it again for another 58 days, effectively meaning that COB will most likely not be involved in any appeal. Normally the time to appeal is 60 days, so technically there is time to get involved in the appeal but in terms of seeking to preserve the injunction, COB will not be involved.]
Twist attended the meeting and provided us this picture of himself while there.
via eyjan.is
It seems like his sign did the trick in persuading the council members. Good job Twist!
Earlier in the day, it was noted that the PHA and California Oak Found., filed their Notice of Appeal with the Superior Court. They paid about $655 filing fee plus $5,200 for the Court Reporter to prepare the record that will be used on appeal. This is not the actual appeal but is a procedural step necessary to ultimately file the appeal (Petition for Review) in the appropriate appellate court. Even if there is an "automatic 20 day stay" continuing the injunction (which I have not been able to verify and have doubts about), I think the actual Petition for Review (appeal) needs to be filed in the Court of Appeals having jurisdiction over Alameda County for anything automatic to kick in. But remember folks, to get a Court of Appeals to maintain an injunction, one of the elements needed to be shown is the "probability of success on the merits." That is pretty damn impossible to show when you already got your ass kicked on the merits, but that's just my opinion and as I've stated before, my opinion means squat.
Speaking of opinions, someone picked Cal to finish first in the Pac-10! That's right, over USCheat. So at least one reporter that covers the Pac-10 knows something about football. In response to that one vote, our great center Alex Mack said:
"We have a believer." and "I believe we can win the national championship."
In that same articled are a few interesting JT quotes:
Tedford said Jahvid Best, the presumed starter at running back who missed spring ball with a hip injury, is "100 percent healthy."
Tedford is not absolutely sure the legal battle to begin construction of the athletic training center is over, even though a judge ruled this week that the injunction will be lifted Tuesday, barring any further appeals. "I think we're as close as we've been to having some movement," he said, "but it's not over until they say, 'Go.' Over the last month, it's been a big distraction."
In other football news, our friend Phillip Fulmer was served with a subpoena regarding his possible involvement in ratting out an illegal Alabama booster.
And just because I feel like saying it: Brett Favre is an idiot! Brett Favre is an idiot! Brett Favre is an idiot!! Ok so there are conflicting reports about his possible idiocy, but I'll say it again: Brett Favre is an idiot!
Dump away!
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.

OakTown, what can you tell us about the other thing Volker filed, the Motion For New Trial regarding the shoring. What is that all about?
Well, I guess I can still offer links.
You had the SFGate article, but here’s Cal’s article. Cal picked 4th by media.
Berkeley – The University of California football team was picked to finish fourth according to the 2008 Pacific-10 Conference preseason media poll released on Thursday.Five-time defending conference champion USC was a near-unanimous choice to win the league title. The Trojans were listed in the top spot by 38 of the 39 voters participating in the poll. It marks the sixth consecutive year the Trojans have been the choice to win the title.
Cal’s Blake Smith is doing well with the USA baseball team.
BRNO, CZECH REPUBLIC – University of California right fielder/right-handed pitcher Blake Smith is the leading hitter for the USA Baseball National (Collegiate) Team this summer as Team USA is sporting a perfect 22-0 record during its 2008 summer tour. Smith, who will be a junior next spring for the Golden Bears, has helped the USA National Team (which is not the USA Beijing Olympic baseball team) go 6-0 in pool play and advance to the semifinals of the IV FISU World Collegiate Baseball Championship in the Czech Republic by hitting .362 (17-for-47) overall with four doubles, a triple, three home runs and 12 RBI in 18 games.
Here is the BDP article on the meeting last night and is just chock a block FULL of goodness.
Mayor Tom Bates told the public that the council could still appeal within 58 days. Worthington commented that getting five votes –especially without Dona Spring’s vote – would be difficult. Councilmember Spring, who died recently, was a strong supporter of the movement to save the grove.
Oh, Becky:
Planet Executive Editor Becky O’Malley said that it did not make economic sense to stop the lawsuit now. "It would be frivolous to undertake a lawsuit and not carry it to the appeal level," she said.
You know what else is frivolous? THIS LAWSUIT!
Mayor Shirley Dean wants fat children:
Former Mayor Shirley Dean, opposing Mayor Tom Bates in November, said the university should "stop holding sports camps for young children in the stadium."
For anybody wondering why everybody is all up in arms over this, here is the basic reason why:
A number of people spoke to the issue of filing the lawsuit in order to right the power imbalance between the city and university.
Yvonne Knebel urged the council not "to rubberstamp what the regents tell you to do." If you do, she said, "You are a puppet government."
"This is about normalizing power relationships between the city and university," Sharon Hudson said.
The appeal "is the only leverage you have," Dean said.
It is not about trees. It is about seismic safety. It’s about power. Plain and simple.
Bates and Worthington bickered:
This led to Councilmember Kriss Worthington’s attempt to question Kelly, but Bates quickly cut Worthington off, despite’s Worthington’s assertions that Bates was acting contrary to council rules.

More stories.
CoCoTimes on the non-appeal. Let’s check in with our dear old friend, Bucky.
“I think the city seriously miscalculated the reaction that will come from the community about this issue,” said Doug Buckwald, a spokesman for Save the Oaks at the Stadium. “I have never seen such a broad coalition of people from all across Berkeley, different neighborhoods, different social groups, different economic groups, nonprofit groups, city workers, students. It’s the kind of coalition that can actually impact city policy and election in the future, and I think they will learn the consequences of this very short-sighted decision.”

Okanes on Media Day. Part I and Part II. And a blurb on the council meeting.
LA Times article on Media Day:
t would have taken a brain cramp to pick anyone else other than USC, which received 38 out of 39 first-place votes. One voter in the media poll, though, gave California a first-place nod.The same Cal that closed last year by losing six of its final eight games. The same Cal that is 1-5 against USC in the Jeff Tedford era. The same Cal whose coach, Tedford, said of last year’s collapse: “I’m not sure we’ll ever know exactly what happened.”

RE: The Motion for New Trial
[Thanks a lot Twist, it took me forever to find the damn “Building Code” Volker cited.]
It is a desperate and I mean desperate attempt at getting the Judge to change her mind and to reverse her own judgment.
Volker is essentially claiming that in the UC’s response to a the Proposed Writ, it would be removing the grade beam and claims that UC speaks for the first time about about shoring and support systems that will be used to provide support to CMS during the construction of the SAHPC. I didn’t go back to verify if in fact UC for the “first” time is discussing shoring in its recent response b/c I seriously doubt UC would not have discussed such shoring in prior design papers. Volker claims that the California Building Code (not the AP Act) requires that any shoring be considered a “structural alteration” to CMS which requires the whole CMS valuation and thus AP compliance. Volker claims this is all new and therefore has not been considered by the Judge (he conveniently forgets the Judge was presented with UC’s response to the proposed writ, prior to issuing her judgment).
So I looked up the Building Code which coincidentally is not contained in the California Codes proper, but in the California Regulations. The regulation at issue specifically states that it applies as follows: “For DSA-SS and OSHPD 1 and 4.” What the hell does that mean? Well, “DSA-SS” = Div of State Architect, Structural Safety and apparently applies to K12 and public community colleges only, not to UC. “OSHPD” is the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development and is the state agency that reviews and approves hospital design and construction. So it really looks like Volker is grasping at straws here because (1) this argument should really have been presented sooner; (2) the Building Code at issue does not compel a different reading of the AP than the judge has already made; (3) the Code at issue appears to not apply to UC. [Perhaps some of you with building code knowledge can help out here?]
What is equally amusing is that Volker does not seem to have figured out what he wants to do. As was pointed out earlier, Volker’s Motion was previously rejected, in all likelihood b/c he didn’t call the court clerk in advance to reserve a hearing date. DUH! This explains the 2 pages with different dates for the hearing (August 12 and 22). While the Motion for New Trial would extend the time period for filing the appeal once it is lost (30 days from date of denial of Motion for New Trial), it can do nothing on the injunction. More importantly, I think once the appeal is filed, the trial court will be divested of jurisdiction to rule on the Motion for New Trial (but I’m not 100% sure of that). So Volker appears to not be sure of what to do. Kind if like a chicken with his head cut off.
I don’t have a lot of expertise on the building code stuff, but his Motion seems desperate and doomed to failure. Also, a Motion for New Trial is essentially telling the Judge that in her dumbness she missed something and should correct her dumbness by reversing herself. I don’t think any Judge would admit to that.

Don’t worry, the quaran doesn’t specify whether they’re 70 female virgins or 70 male virgins… maybe a mix of both.
Is quaran a term for something I’m not aware of. I was of the understanding the 72 virgins thing was not in the Qoran/Koran, but an auxiliary book of different importance. I forget the name, though, of that book.

I was just joking, but wow… i didn’t know that. So you’re saying that even the best reward for blowing one self up is up for debate? That’s sucks for them.
I am not an Islamic scholar, but my understanding is that the Hadith is an auxiliary book of oral traditions that relate to the sayings of Mohammed.. Not like the Qoran, which is, to Muslims, the revealed word of Allah through Mohammed. I am having trouble finding a similar analogy in Christianity. It’d be like comparing the Bible to a later book that has abunch of sayings of Jesus carried down from oral tradition.

The parallel would be Scholasticism which was dominant through the 14th century reaching a high point with Aquinas’ Summa Theologica. Scholasticism was finally overturned by the Renaissance, literally a return to the originals rather than seeing them through the accepted commentaries.

Article on Nets summer game. Against the Dubs! This is chock full of relevance.
And judging by this quote, boo to Yellow Fever:
As for Anderson, the first thing that stood out was the Nets’ coaching staff had him playing the small forward position, which isn’t going to work at the pro level. Any advantage Anderson has will come at the four position, where he can use his perimeter skills to better advantage.Anderson’s just not going to be able to match up against small forwards on the defensive end and he’s not likely to have much of an advantage against them offensively, either.
He also looked uncomfortable shooting the 3, and it almost seemed like he’s struggling to adjust to the extra distance at the pro level.
I’m not making the case Lopez and/or Anderson are going to struggle or fail or anything like that at the pro level. But what I am saying is that if you’re talking athleticism and talent and star potential, neither of those two are in the same league as Anthony Randolph.
"Save The Oaks: Overthrow Capitalism" said Dumpster Muffin sanguinely
www.CaliforniaGoldenBlogs.com
that guy's an asshole
He also said Brook Lopez projects to be a defensive specialist at best, which is completely contrary to his entire scouting report, and Ryan Anderson tore up the Orlando summer league before struggling in Denver. So yeah, let’s go ahead and anoint Anthony Randolph the chosen one based on one game.
I'm still wondering why the Nets didn't draft Leon Powe.

CORRECTIONS, 7/25/2008Monday’s Getting to Know U: Pac-10 profile of Cal quarterback Nate Longshore contained the following inaccurate paragraph: "Nate Longshore is a British Overseas Territory, 16 miles long, and 3 miles at her widest point. Boasting 33 white sand beaches with crystal clear waters, a contemporary international style, extraordinary vistas, world-class accommodations and mouth-watering cuisine, he is the culmination of your search for the idyllic tropical escape". The passage actually describes the island of Anguilla, and should have read, "Nate Longshore ranks fourth all-time at Cal in passing efficiency (133.1), sixth in passing touchdowns (62) and seventh in passing yardage (5,732). He has 18 victories as a starting quarterback, second in Cal history, and also owns the top bench press of all-time by a Cal quarterback at 370 pounds." We regret the error.
http://mymindgrapes.wordpress.com
This has nothing to do with Nate, but the fact that 18 victories all time as a starting QB is 2nd in Cal history kind of sucks.
"Save The Oaks: Overthrow Capitalism" said Dumpster Muffin sanguinely
www.CaliforniaGoldenBlogs.com
Yeah, remember that he totally won the AF Bowl and without him, Sac State would have been a disaster.
Stanfurd Delendum Est.
Although I anticipated cartoonish supervillain Nate Longshore would make an appearance here thanks to evil puppetmaster Olsonist, I was merely trying to state that it is unfortunate that in all of Cal’s long football history there is only 1 QB who has won more games than 18 as a stater. A 3 year starter who wins more than 7 games a year (a decent, if unspectacular feat) would have more.
How many wins did Rodgers have as a stater? We went 10-2 in 04, right? We went 8-6 in 03, right? I’m not sure off the top of my head how many of those wins were Rodgers and how many were Robertson. Robertson might have had a win or two at the start of the season. Plus, how does one count USC 03? Rodgers was the starter, IIRC, but RObertson finished the job. Hmmm.

he started 3 1/2
and in the last 3 years, we won 3, 1, and 7 games, for a total of 11 wins. i think we only won 4 games in ‘99, so even if those were all boller, that’s still only 15 wins.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
I only vaguely remember 99, but I feel like there was some Vedder in there somewhere.

there definitely was, but off the top of my head, i couldn’t say who started the 4 wins.

From the first game against Rutgers:
Freshmen Make Big First Impressions
True freshman quarterback Kyle Boller entered the game with 8:56 left in the second quarter. He finished the game completing 8-of-15 passes for 89 yards and one touchdown. Sophomore quarterback Samuel Clemons completed 2-of-2 passes for 14 yards and did not return to the game after Boller replaced him in the second quarter.
So, does Clemens count there or Boller? Clemens was technically the starter.
Boller won against ASU.
Boller, it appears, started the win against UCLA (which I can clearly remember Dealtha coming over to conduct us after the game).
Boller started the win over USC. Man, we beat UCLA AND USC that year!
So, that’s either 3 or 4 wins for Boller in 99.

btw, i love this postgame quote from Holmoe following the Rutgers game. it’s a fantastic example of coach-speak:
To come in and have a win is a great feeling, and that’s what we’re trying to do- to win every game that we play.
Read that again. Say it aloud. It’s fabulous.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
Well, that makes sense to me. Isn’t that the reason why you play the game? To win. If only there was a video further explaining that. And if only the person who would post that video would post it using a Patrick Maguire quote while posting it.

my seats are in section Q, so i usually go there first, then wander over laterally. except during exceptionally crowded games (SC, maybe UCLA, and Big Game), the security people don’t care / won’t even be there, and even then, they usually give up before halftime.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
A meatball showed up in the young alumni section for the Oregon State game with his girlfriend. We pelted him with loud abuse. The guy brought his girlfriend to suffer through that? What an asshole. The cops kept offering him seats in the Oregon State section which he finally took in the third quarter. They arrested one alum who came over to get in the guy’s face. Apparently, there are rules for this stuff. I was two rows behind him and it totally took me out of the game.

I might be thinking of this backwards. Which one is the section next to the band? Is that Q? That’s the section I go to.

Yeah, I dont know. I see those guys in there with them. You should just go up and ask them.
We clearly all stand near each other at the games. Ive never understood how people sit at the games. I figure it takes you all out of it. But maybe thats because Ive always stood at games from day 1. Oh well.

Yeah, that’s what I thought. I generally go into that section, although for crazy packed games (like Tenn USC last year) we were pushed over into the Qs.

I’d love to get there earlier, but, the Bear’s Lair only let’s me leave 40 minutes before gametime.

Sometimes I like to get in about an hour or so early and stand right by the North Tunnel to watch the players come out. In the past, band members have snuck me onto the field. I’ll see if I can do that again this year to get some more great photos for you guys.

Yep, QQ is all young alumni from row 1 to row 70 something.
http://sportingcontrarian.wordpress.com/
OK, PEOPLE. HERE IS THE MAP:
I try to get to R, if possible.

Maybe this won’t be well received, but a pregame gathering (in addition to a preseason gathering) of CGB should happen. Or maybe even just sitting near one another in R (of course, we all do anyway).

Sitting? Man, you fucked up!

We’re defecting from years in mid-QQ to the other side this season. Looking forward to less in-stands drama. We’re too old for that shit. Plus: better band sound.
Enjoy Section H, gramps.

I’ll be on the 50 in no time over there, they’re dropping like flies. Then I’ll die happy. Hopefully at a game.
The question is...
If Nate Longshore were to lead us to a Rose Bowl, would you go?

true dat
I thought it was mas cool when a bunch of the Band did a swing dance number with the cheerleaders.
Stanfurd Delendum Est.
Most bands have fat chicks with giant colorful flags...
...so we have to be careful that as we complete our mission: adding a military dance squad a-la Janet Jackson Rhythm Nation to the Cal Band.
I’m thinking the same hats, a stylized vest top, and navy blue wool daisy dukes for full uniform, then straw hats, blue and gold plaid country button ups tied at the breast, and denim daisy dukes for basketball.
Better than Section T!
I never understand why they have those 2 donor sections all the way over there. That’s like the loser donor section.

I remember seeing stuff thrown.
I have no idea what it was, nothing more serious than food wrappings or something, but it was there.

I wore a Stanford shirt to CalSO in 99. I have no idea why. I must have been a total dick back then!

You hate Nate Longshore AND The Big Lebowski??
Since you hate what is most dear to Hydro and myself, respectively, Twist wants to know if you hate Color Me Badd too.

Fuck the tournament?
All right, I can see you don’t want to be cheered up here, CBKWit. Come on TwistNHook, let’s go get us a lane.
Productivity is clearly at an all time low.

I disagree
Look at all these comments, productivity is at an all-time high! Or were you talking about at our jobs?

His girlfriend was not pretty. On the ranking from Rosie to Ash, she was leaning heavily towards Rosie. The operating theory was that he didn’t actually go to Stanfurd. One of the guys behind me yelled, Did you actually go to Stanfurd? Because it’s different if you actually went there. No response, but at this point the guy was dug in, pretty much catatonic.

I love how the discussion can go totally of topic in one thread here. It's like real life!
In other words, Go Bears!
If there was an off-topic section at CGB, would all the comments invariably be about the same thing?

Want something off-topic
Since we clearly aren’t considering a two QB offense...
I kissed Dumpster Muffin and I liked it. The taste of her hippie chapped lips.
I just read that too, It would be an interesting offense to run with an undersized high school.
http://mymindgrapes.wordpress.com
We are definitely aware of that new offense and our writers are feverishly working on a post about it.

Patrick Chung was quoted in the LA Times as saying he had “unfinished business” when asked why he didn’t go on to the NFL. Isn’t Chung some kind of legend around here?
DAMN
I think that’s the best line I’ve seen here.
I'm still wondering why the Nets didn't draft Leon Powe.

Yeah have fun accomplishing that unfinished business without Dennis Dixon or Jonathan Stweart.

Dude-
That’s a bad thing. Now I have to hate him.

Why does the torrent for the Cal v. Tenn game forever? :(
I wanted to see memorial on TV (err… tv broadcast)

Exact quotes from Tedford and MackAttack
Exact Tedford quotes from Pac 10 Media Day:
http://www.pac-10.org/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/072408aaf.html
California Head Coach Jeff Tedford
Opening Remarks: “Great to see you all here. I’m really excited this time of year to get started and get with the players. I’m very happy to have Alex [Mack] with us. I always joke that he is our number one recruit because he chose to come back to school for his senior season. He is a great player and a great leader, we very fortunate to have him. The guys have been working very hard, the chemistry that we are able to build in the spring will help us. We had some talented guys who have departed, but we also have guys eager to fill in. I’m looking forward to camp on August 3 when players report.”
On the quarterback competition: “We feel like we are in a great situation with a our quarterbacks. Nate [Longshore] has played in a lot of games and won a lot of games for us. Kevin Riley had a couple of opportunities last season and played well. It’s going to be very competitive going into Fall camp. We will pick a starter the first week of the season and it might take both of them. To clarify, they are both going to get game time.”
On Jahvid Best: “Jahvid’s health is very good. We held him out of spring drills with a hip injury that he suffered in the USC game. He rehabbed through spring, but has been through the summer program and is 100% healthy.”
California C Alex Mack
On the Conference race: “I think it’s really competitive. I think everyone in the Pac-10 is really great, we have to come out and play each week. We had close games last season that we could have won, but lost in the last second, so we have to be ready.”
Jahvid on the header of the official Pac 10 website:
link and question
Sorry if this is a repeat, but I’m not reading 205 posts to find out. Did Locker play against Cal last year? I think he was hurt, but I can’t remember and I don’t have a torrent of the game (not that I would want one).
This is a link from a Yahoo article about the Pac-10 media day. http://collegefootball.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=830285
I’m not savvy, so I don’t know how to put pics in posts and the like, but, despite the Cal-centric coverage, it’s interesting to see how grey Tedford got. He looks like an American president after an economic crisis.
