DBD 8.8.8 KUNG FU PANDAS

Congrats, BearsNecessity. You have defeated me in the game of DBD. I am clearly not waking up early enough! At least now I have some good material stored up now for my next DBD installment, whenever that may be.

Another BDP article by people who clearly are biased. Note she mentions hardcore Cal fans and then links to Scout.

In the background, hard core Bear Backers are trying to figure out ways to do an end-run around the pesky earthquake law. Among these schemes is to get the state Legislature to change the law so as to exempt Memorial Stadium from Alquist-Priolo. (http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=166&f=1419&t=2661510&p=1)

WHERE’S OUR OUTRAGED LINK? What more do we have to do to get on your shitlist, woman???? Damn. Ok.

I want to kill trees. And Doug Buckwald.

IS THAT ENOUGH FOR YOU PEOPLE?!??

Another screed by Mr. Buckwald. I’ll paraphrase:

“Bla bla bla bla I have no credibility bla bla bla bla democracy was stolen from my Luxury SUV last week, does anybody have any idea where it is? bla bla bla bla I felt Heath Ledger’s performance in Black Knight was uneven, at best.”

Just outrageous stuff!

Cal students are smart. Here and here.

Day Four Practice Update. I think Riley went a billion for a billion and Longshore went 0 for infinity. Reports are Tedford is still sticking with Longshore.

Honestly, though, both QBs are playing great, it would seem:

In the first round of 11-on-11 action, Riley found Boateng who slipped behind the defense for a 67-yard touchdown reception. Not to be outdone, senior quarterback Nate Longshore found senior Sean Young on a similar pattern for another 67-yard score.

Jon Wilner, a voter in the AP poll, ranks us as #24.

Daily Cal interview with Zack Follett.

Looks like Hawk will be the first Bear to play from the 08 NFL class. He continues to do well in practice.

While Hawkins is still working his way through mistakes, he’s still further along than any Titan rookie receiver’s been in a long time.

For anyone attending the Olympics, please sit down while watching the games.

Well, this saddens me:

Meanwhile, it appears that an order preventing the university from beginning construction on the $124 million training center will remain in effect at least until Aug. 25, attorneys from both sides said Thursday.

We can’t Shorten Time on this? What do I know?

people sure are productive today

How bout some Cal Golf Alum news, Charlie Wi is currently one shot back of the at the PGA Championship:

Some quotes from Rodgers on how he is being treated in Green Bay.

“I understand it to some point if I put myself into a Favre fanatic’s shoes," Rodgers said today, per the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "The things I can’t understand, the things I really take personally, is when I’m driving up to the (parking lot) gate and punching in my punch code and somebody says ‘F.U.’ to me. That kind of bothers me. Or when a little kid is yelling swear words at me. That kind of gets to me. The boos, they expect a high level of play and they miss Brett Favre. I understand that. But the ‘F.U.’ and the little kids saying swear words to me, I don’t understand that."

Little kids? Swearing? There must be a lot of USC fans in Wisconsin!

Some sort of injury to USC QB just occured. Details to follow!

Ted Miller posts his best-case/worst-case for Cal.
Best case ends in a Holiday bowl and worst ends with a Poinsettia bowl.

Like most of his best-case/worst-cases, this one’s logic is absent. In our best case we still lose to Oregon? He does give some love to DumpsterMuffin (though he calls her smelly muffin) and Brock Mansion, though. At least he doesn’t mention that Arizona made the top-15, which is what happens in his USC and ASU best cases. He also mentions OSU as a top-15 team in his Oregon, ASU, and USC scenarios.

the place where you can buy the new Cal jerseys?

And don’t blow up researchers.

BERNIE MAC DEAD?!
