Getting Pumped Up For Cal Football 2008 By Remembering Cal Football 2007

Oskisegwaycolorf_tiny by kccal on

As the college football season nears closer and closer this Thursday when Wake Forest takes on Baylor, I must say that I am looking VERY forward to this years’ games. After all, I had to sit through a whole off season without football, and there weren’t even any Pacman Jones stories to keep me entertained during this dry spell (I mean, c’mon Adam, pick up the pace). That being said, as a Cal fan, I realize the futility of having any enthusiasm towards this year because, let’s face it, we have no expectations really....

The opinions expressed in a FanPost are not necessarily those of the California Golden Blogs or any of its authors. However, they are just as important as the opinions of any of the authors. And triply so as compared to TwistNHook!

Look, I get it, KC Cal. I wouldn’t want to post a single link in a DBD written by “not TwistNHook,” either. I understand. No need to feel any shame over this.

Um, I’m confused by that last comment.

by kccal on Aug 27, 2008 11:35 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I was saying that I understand why you wouldn’t want to put your post containing only a single link into today’s Daily Bear Dump. When the DBD isn’t written by me, it might as well not even exist. I appreciate the solidarity! Keep on keeping on!

Guys, if we split into factions, we’re never going to make a bowl game this year. Remember what Tedford said about team chemistry?

by Berkelium97 on Aug 27, 2008 12:26 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

that’s it, everybody take the names off of their profiles. we’ll now be commenting strictly by number. remember, it’s about the comments, not about who said them.

So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!

It doesn’t tell you anywhere when publishing a fanpost that y’all have some general guidelines about fanposts. So you’ll have to either be loose about the guidelines or unreasonable with your expectations.

by zoonews on Aug 27, 2008 12:40 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I think unreasonable with your expectations would include “deleting posts.” I’m not going to do that, Zoo News. I was merely trying to inform the good gentleman, KC Cal, about the DBD. In my own special way.

So do you do this everywhere?

You know, posting links to your blog on other blogs as “fanposts”? I thought you would have learned a lesson from the debacle at NinersNation.

debacle?

oooo, do tell!

Geez, give me a break

I’m new to all this ok, and like zoonews said, there aren’t any clearly stated guidelines about publishing fanposts or single links. You guys could’ve just told me bluntly what the rules are instead of leaving all the ambiguous comments and snide remarks. That said, I get the message now. Sorry about that, yeesh.

Oh, yeah, about that debacle, I guess I should’ve learned from something so utterly life devestating.

The debacle was I posted a single link at Niners Nation, since I didn’t know how things work here at SB Nation.

Twisty, he's not serious, ever

Really, don’t feel bad, he’s not actually serious. His snide remarks are actually meant to be funny! But there was no way to know that. I enjoyed your review, even if I didn’t really want to relive some of those games… sigh.

by AndBears on Aug 27, 2008 1:07 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Thanks. So if I want to post links, I just put it in the comments section of the DBD?

by kccal on Aug 27, 2008 1:11 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Well, I think we are looking for the FanPosts to be more substantive. Include commentary or analysis or photos. If it just a single link, the Bear Dump should be sufficient. That way we don’t push the FanPosts down the page really quickly because of a few FanPosts with just a link to a story.

That said, I can be snide and condescending all day long (and that’s actually true), but it is generally AFTER the fact. We do need to figure out a way to take care of this BEFORE the fact. Although, to be fair, I do love to be snide and condescending.

I’m new to all this ok, and like zoonews said, there aren’t any clearly stated guidelines about publishing fanposts or single links.

At first I thought, man, I should email SBN, see what they can do about this. Then I realized I could do something myself. So, now when someone joins CGB, the short community statement that they have to agree to includes a link to our FanPosts vs. FanShots guide, so everyone should know the deal going in.

It also includes a short statement warning people not to take Twist too seriously. None of us do, but if you’re new here, obviously, I can see where you might be mistaken.

So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!

by ragnarok on Aug 27, 2008 2:13 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

That’s cool. Some tiny standard text in each DBD (“This is for links blah blah blah please try to limit Fan Posts to yadda blah poo!”) would be another good idea, but that would require a bit more DBD formatting than open season on the DBDs allows.

He posted the same sort of nonsense at NinersNation, except it was an attempt at satire that wasn’t funny.

Then, you see that all he’s done is post links to his blog on numerous websites. And they’re not particularly funny.

Then you see that his blog has no comments on it.
