DBD 9.23.08 Enjoy this special, limited time offer to play QB for Oregon

PrintYes, you too can play QB for Oregon! Didn't think you had physical aptitude or the stomach for mind-crunching hits? Didn't think you could memorize their complicated playbook? Well, worry no longer!
Just fill out this easy questionnaire to see if you fit the bill:
1. Are you currently able to walk?
2. On a scale from 1-10, how much do you enjoy walking?
3. How good do you look in what appears to a jersey dipped randomly in green and yellow paint?
4. What condititon would you say your ACL is in?
I think I could play Oregon QB. Thanks to my Oakland As love, I have a lot of green and gold colored clothes. My ACL has yet to burst. And, honestly, I'm not that enamored over walking. I mean it's OK. I guess.
Put me in coach!
Seriously, though, they are on their 48th string QB. Insane props to them for having a 48th string QB. I think our 48th string QB is Karl Dorrell in a mustache. Actually, I'm about 100% sure it is. 5-48 is just Karl Dorrell in different mustaches. Man do I hope Karl Dorrell loves walking.
If you do become the Oregon QB, you'll be the latest in a long line of prestigious names and even more prestigious injuries. Let's take a look at Oregon QBs through the years:
Dennis Dixon:
Injury: Knee
Akili Smith:

Injury: Brutal Sucktitude
Anne Boleyn:
Injury: Poor grasp of complicated playbook. Also, no head.
Stegasaurus:
Injury: Asteroid-related extinction
Sisyphus:
via icanhascheezburger.files.wordpress.com
Injury: Stubborn Rock
So, there you go. If you take advantage of this limited time offer, you TOO can become a QB as respect as Dennis Dixon or Stegosaurus. Oh, Stegosaurus, you tail caused so many unnecessary roughness penalties.
You can't afford NOT to do this!
And now, let's get to some links. Not a lot today:
Men's water polo to take on Pepperdine:
Bear Bites
The No. 1-ranked Cal men's water polo team (6-2), the defending 2006 and 2007 national champions, will look to get back on the winning track when the Golden Bears open Mountain Pacific Sports Federation play Saturday, Sept. 27 at 12 p.m. at No. 5-ranked Pepperdine (6-3). Cal returns to action after its fourth-place finish at the NorCal Open Sept. 21 in Stockton where the Bears dropped a 6-4 decision to No. 4 UCLA and a 11-10 sudden death overtime defeat to No. 3 Stanford. It was the first time Cal had lost two straight matches since 2004, and it broke the Bears' nine-match winning streak carrying over from last season. A positive note for Cal was the play of freshman Ivan Rackov (Belgrade, Serbia), who just arrived to the Bears' program last week after competing at the European Championships for his native Serbia, and led Cal with eight goals in the four matches. The 6-0, 185-pound attacker also paced Cal with five assists and had five steals. Junior All-American Spencer Warden added five goals and a team-high seven steals, while sophomore Zach White had seven ejections earned.
This has been in several places, but let's put it here too. Cal football on ABC:
BERKELEY - The California football game against Arizona State on Saturday, Oct. 4 has been selected for broadcast by ABC and will kick off at 12:30 p.m. from Memorial Stadium, the Pac-10 Conference announced Monday. It is the seventh Cal game this season selected to be televised with further selections expected.
Tickets are available for all remaining Golden Bear home games, including this Saturday's game against Colorado State and next week's Arizona State contest, by visiting CalBears.com or by calling (800) GO BEARS. The Colorado State game will be televised by Comcast SportsNet West (CSN-West) at 3 p.m.
New CSU head coach is a downer:
The Rams, he said Monday at his weekly news luncheon, are only three games into the first year of what he expects to be a multi-year rebuilding process. Colorado State University's 28-25 win Saturday over Houston gives the Rams a winning record for the first time since they were 4-3 in 2006, a week before beginning a 13-game losing streak.
"I remind myself, I remind my staff, I certainly remind my players and maybe I keep preaching it to you guys (reporters)," Fairchild said. "One game's not defining where we're going.
"I think we have an extremely talented coaching staff, I think we've got an administration here that really backs us and wants us to succeed. I think we have the right plan in place.
3rd string QB might catch passes for CSU:
T.J. Borcky, CSU's third-string quarterback, should see some playing time at wide receiver Saturday at California, coach Steve Fairchild said Monday.
Borcky, a 6-foot-4, 197-pound redshirt freshman from Orlando, Fla., began playing his new position with the first- and second-string offense during practice last week. He was on the field briefly during Saturday's 28-25 win over Houston, but a timeout was called before the snap and substitution changes took Borcky back out before he could play a down.
"He's going to help us as a receiver this season," Fairchild said. "We'll move him back, give him a shot at quarterback next spring ... Last week was finding out who he was and what he could do, and we were pleasantly surprised."
And don't forget the watching party:
> WATCH PARTY - CSU officials are arranging watch parties for fans to see the game on TV at Buffalo Wild Wings, 150 E. Harmony Road, and at least one location to be determined in the Denver area. Call 491-4666 for information on the Denver viewing party.
CSU's cheerleaders will be present at the Buffalo Wild Wings viewing party.
New kicker?
> KICKING CHANGE POSSIBLE - Fairchild said there is a chance senior Jason Smith might be able to kick field goals against Cal. Smith broke the upper part of his right arm during a mock game Aug. 23 but returned to kick the extra points following the Rams' third and fourth touchdowns Saturday against Houston.
Ben DeLine, the true freshman who has handled the kicking duties since Smith's injury, was 4 for 4 on field goals and extra points in the first two games but had a field-goal attempt blocked against Houston. Another field-goal try was aborted when holder Nick Oppenneer had trouble handling the snap and instead ran for a first down.
Fairchild said he hopes Smith will be cleared to punt at some point this season, too, simply to give junior college transfer Anthony Hartz added competition. Hartz is averaging 40.0 yards a kick.
So, there you go. Dump away! GO BEARS!

The newest Cal blog, The California Spirit, breaks down what playing a season away at the Coliseum would be like, Part I, and Part II. Pretty interesting.
www.californiagoldenblogs.com
interesting
The game experience challenges are pretty easily over come (cannon, card stunts). A bigger one in my mind will be such things as saturday morning rehearsal for the band, student organization/transportation to the games. The campus is loaded with fields that can be used (even when the stadium wasn’t available). The coliseum area….not so much. And in the oldendays when we had real grass, they typically don’t want the band on it prior to pregame show.

What about tailgating with the band?
I'm no The Maharg! But I try. Oh, how I try!
www.CaliforniaGoldenBlogs.com
Agree they are not mutually exclusive, but I would argue that bands are one of the defining elements of college football and one of the reasons I generally prefer it to pro. Call me a traditionalist, but Cal football without the band would not be Cal football whereas Cal football without “tailgating” is what we’ve had for the past 80 years or so.
Of course, I’m taking a narrow definition of tailgating to mean the kind that takes place in cars and parking lots. There is the broader definition that could include any general pre-game partying regardless of location. I would personally take a good pre-game party at someone’s house, followed by a brisk walk to the stadium with a football and a backpack of beers to actually partying in a parking lot. That’s how we used to do it.
The campus will probably organize some sort of free transportation from campus to the coliseum and back, like what they do at UCLA.
I hope I’ll still be living in the bay area during our coliseum season because it seems like it will be a unique experience.
You think so? I figure BART has things pretty well covered…maybe they’ll throw in some extra trains or extra cars.

JO on our receiver issues.
Tedford said the Bears will continue to use several receivers in Saturday’s home game against Colorado State.
“Nobody has really separated himself,” Tedford said. “They’re all contributing and they’re all playing hard.”
Redshirt freshman Michael Calvin, who was expected to be Cal’s top wideout this season, has yet to get untracked with just six catches for 81 yards. Calvin has been bothered by a painful sprained toe, which isn’t completely healed.
Is that correct? Untracked? Shouldn’t it be on track? Which means he is currently non-tracked or untracked?
I'm no The Maharg! But I try. Oh, how I try!

TMQ rescinds his belief
Ban the Coast-to-Coast College Game! Jon Pinyan of Allendale, N.J., writes, “Your comment on Cal’s trip to Maryland, ‘Coach Jeff Tedford had his team fly through three times zones and arrive on the East Coast at 4 p.m. Friday for a game that kicked off at noon Saturday. That really dumb coaching decision likely hurt Cal more than the best pep talk in history could have helped Maryland.’ What else was Tedford supposed to do? At least in principle, his players are college students who should be attending classes. For the team to travel any earlier would require his players to miss Thursday classes. While college football may as well be semi-pro in all respects other than paying the players, some schools at least try to keep up the pretense that players are students who occasionally go to class.” Outstanding point! Lately there has been some buzz about why the ACC and SEC don’t play the Pac-10 much — maybe they should never play each other. There’s no way a team from one conference could travel to the other without either playing jet-lagged, or dropping any pretense its players are college students.
I'm still wondering why the Nets didn't draft Leon Powe.
This isn't that hard to solve
Take the Thursday night rednight flight. They get to attend their Thursday classes, then bowl on over to SFO/Oakland and take the 10:30-11:30 flight east, sleep on the flight, arrive at around 8-10 in the morning. Far more effective than leaving early on Friday, walking like zombies all day Fri., then stumbling to sleep Fri. night before waking up at 8 am for a noon kickoff.

You can't count on sleeping on the plane.
First, it’s only a 5 hour flight. I personally find it impossible (or at least extremely hard) to sleep on airplanes. I think they’d need to take a thursday morning flight, get to the east coast at 8 PM EST. Then, they can get a full nights sleep on thursday and friday nights, and be up early for the saturday morning game.
Go Bears!

Treesitters gone, what now?
MIller picks up stadium story
Stadium projects are often portrayed as excessive expressions of vanity by athletic departments — gaudy proliferations due to the big-time football arms race that betray the fundamental mission of universities.
And they sometimes are. Perhaps more often than not.
But California’s situation doesn’t fit that description
Anyone know what the deal is with the Tightwad Hill freaks? I hear they are either in the process, or already have, sued the University to stop any alterations to the stadium that affects their freeloading asses.
They got the same deal as the treesitters…nothing.
Tightwad Hill lawsuit settled
Friday, July 18, 2008
UC Berkeley and a group known as Save Tightwad Hill! have agreed to a settlement in an 18-month-old lawsuit challenging the University’s Environmental Impact Report for planned improvements to California Memorial Stadium and other elements of the Southeast Campus Integrated Projects. Tightwad Hill is an area east of Memorial Stadium where, according to the group, people have enjoyed free views of football games since early in the Stadium’s history. The Stadium was completed in 1923.
The planned third and final phase of the Memorial Stadium project calls for modernizing fan amenities on the east side of the historic venue, including improvements to access, circulation, restrooms, concessions and potentially the construction of a new elevated seating structure on the east rim of the Stadium.
Following the UC Regents’ certification of the EIR in December, 2006, Save Tightwad Hill! filed suit in Alameda County Superior Court, contending that the report did not consider the possible adverse effects of the planned seating structure on views of the playing field from Tightwad Hill. The suit further contended that the report did not adequately consider the effect that blocked views would have on the cultural and historical value of Tightwad Hill.
The parties have agreed to an informal process that commits the University to confer with and to consider input from the group regarding design options for the east seating structure in order to avoid, to the extent feasible, obstruction of views of the field from Tightwad Hill.
Gotta love the dedication on behalf of Tightwad Hill
They spend the money to hire a lawyer, but still refuse to buy tickets to the game.

"Breaking News": Slick Rick's talking to Congress
WASHINGTON — UCLA head coach Rick Neuheisel received an angry and skeptical reception on Capitol Hill Tuesday when he appeared before the Senate Appropriations Committee to ask Congress to promptly give him unprecedented authority to rescue the Bruins’ rapidly failing quarterback situation.
Neuheisel appeared in support of a bill proposed by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) that would authorize the coach to select any three quarterbacks in the Pac-10 in return for increased federal regulation of the Bruin program. Arguing UCLA football is “too awesome to fail,” he urged lawmakers "to enact this bill quickly and cleanly, and avoid slowing it down with restrictions." Neuheisel is not good with restrictions, he added, and he needs “Rudy Carpenter or Mark Sanchez, somebody like that” in the lineup by the end of the week to avoid catastrophe.
With injuries to its top two passers prior to the season and dreadful efforts by transfer Kevin Craft in two straight blowout losses, ticket holders and other emotional investors in the Bruins panicked before Neuheisel opened the job to competition on Monday. Offensive coordinator Norm Chow, who appeared with Neuheisel, said the quarterbacks "continue to be very unpredictable, and very worrisome," and that inaction by Congress could lead to further recession in Bruin scoring and an increased imbalance in the Southern California football monopoly.
Hmm...
I smell a rat. Seems odd that Sen. Feinstein would have sponsored that bill. Most stuff in the southern half of the state is handled by Boxer, and being as Sen. Feinstein is a bay area native, I don’t think she would have supported this preposterous bill as UCLA would most likely take Mansion and Riley from the Bears.
Indeed, it’s very suspicious CaliSeth. Seems like Feinstein (a ‘Furd grad) is trying to break up Tedford’s chosen team, don’t you think?

Still, what are we to do? Senators are elected to SIX year terms! I have never understood that. I realize the founding fathers were extremely intelligent, but who sat around and said, “OK guys, congressmen will get two year terms, while senators get six year terms.” I think it’s crazy to let any elected official stay in office for six years. It just doesn’t make sense!
Exactly, it’s kind of like signing coaches to six year contracts. If they suck one year, no matter what the state of the team is, they should be fired, immediately, right?

they had very good reasons
basically, they wanted the Senators to be able to exercise their judgment without always looking over their shoulder at the ever-changing whims of the electorate. they were supposed to able to serve for a long period of time such that they would gain the requisite knowledge to exercise powers specifically delegated to the Senate, such as confirming Supreme Court appointees and ratifying treaties.
read The Federalist Papers. it will make more sense.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!

But in the very beginning Senators were voted in by State congress, not by the direct state populous. 1913 changed all that.
