DBD 1.21.09: ATQ's Declaration of Independence
by David Piper on Jan 20, 2009 9:05 PM PST

PrintAddicted To Quack was claimed in the name of UC Berkeley on January 20, 2009, by California Golden Blogs. This led to a happy time. But, all empires inevitably run their course. Now it is time for LIBERTY!!! YARRRRR!!!!
On the same evening, the 1st convention of of the Addicted To Quack Congress declared the following:
When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the sporting ties which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all bloggers are created equal, that they are endowed by Peter Bean with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. Such is now the necessity which constrains Addicted To Quack to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present King of Cal Golden Blogs (TwistNHook) is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over Addicted To Quack. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
With their presence, they did infect the fine name of Addicted To Quack with Rose Bowl envy, a malady brought upon by never seeing ones team win outright a football conference champion and take it's rightful place in the Rose Bowl Game, presented by AT&T.
With this Envy, they continued this complex with an undue amount of emphasis on "non-revenue" sports. While the fine denizens of Addicted To Quack respect the accomplishments of all athletic teams of the fine University, placing priority on lower-level athletics gives off the appearance of inferiority.
During occupation, the citizens of Addicted To Quack were subjected to all manor of inside jokes and mannerisms. However, this "Bearificiation" failed to contain the best of all UC Berkeley blogging traditions, the "Double Air E-Honk." (http://www.californiagoldenblogs.com/2009/1/13/720074/dbd-1-14-09-what-do-you-me). When it was presented, it was a shell of it's former self. It is an insult that the traditions were not passed on adequately.CGB, in an act of torture in clear violation of the Geneva Conventions, used ATQ pagespace to terrorize citizens by subjecting them to heinous activities, such as "tennis," and "rugby."
The lower level citizens of CGB, instead of opening their arms to their brethren, instead decided to bring up bad blood by posting heinous pictures of events of which we shall not speak.
Cal Golden Blogs tried to export to the North, crappy beer, the so-called JDraft. This is totally unacceptable to our refined palates.
With these usurpations, Addicted To Quack must free itself from the tyrannical shackles of South, and take up arms!
Now, as we all know, this paper alone means nothing. We will go to war, if we must. But I come as an emissary, in peace. We do not this struggle to escalate. But we have the power to win our independence. While in the North, TwistNHook failed to secure the only weapon capable of defeating Addicted To Quack, "The Banhammer." While he slept, it was taken from him. With this weapon, we take back our autonomy, for the freedom of our women and children!
Also consider yourself fairly warned, I, Dave, have come back from his self-imposed exile to lead us in this battle. Blood will be shed, men will be lost, but should our deposed tyrant not retreat peacefully, I will not rest until I hold his scalp high above Strawberry Canyon.
I think that I'm supposed to put some Bear news here or something, but I'm not going to. 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.

As I recently determined, renaming the “moderator” position from Tyrannical King of UC Eugene to Overthrown Despot does not actually change my powers. I still am as powerful as ever. In fact, I just warned both JShufelt AND JTLight, two of the most powerful people in all of CGB North. “Never overthrow me again” I told them.
And if they want to maintain their power on the puppet government that I still control from exile, they should heed that warning!

We still have a lot to teach our new vassals up north. I received this “warning” today when I went to enter CGB North:
"You have been issued a warning.

I received an email from our lovely secretary yesterday:
I received a phone call today from a mother whose son is in AP Chemistry at Berkeley High. She will pay someone to help her son with his Chemistry. She says he has a test on Thursday, so if you are interested please call her right away. Her name is Tyra and her number is ###-####.
I was thinking this would be fun to send:
Dear Tyra,
Thanks for the interest, but I’m sorry not even Jesus in a Labcoat can save your son’s ass two days before an AP exam. You should have found his weed stash last week, then we could help. Your $15/h pay just isn’t worth it. Multiply that shit by 100 and then we’ll talk.

'furd football in trouble
It was only three paragraphs – Stanford athletics is facing a decline (the folks call it a shortfall but let’s all agree on English today, shall we?) of up to $5 million in expected revenue over the next three seasons, and anything from staff to sport reductions is possible.
Meanwhile, Jim Harbaugh’s contract extension and salary bumps cool in his agent’s briefcase while he waits for cherubim and seraphim to sing “Do the deal, will ya’?” in his ear.
These two developments are linked not by the possibility that Stanford would pull the deal, or that it would discontinue football, but by this more enduring truth: Stanford football isn’t pulling its own weight, let alone anyone else’s.
The wins and losses speak for themselves. Nine wins over the Harbaugh Era, 25 in the past seven years. That’s out of 24 and 80 games, respectively.

I posted this on SFgate. I hope my comments on ethnicity don’t give the wrong message: I’m not implying that asian-americans can’t be football fans, just that the huge asian-american demographic in the south bay (middle-aged parents and their families) are not typically a football-fan demographic.
I see the problem as both a failure of Stanford marketing and one of demographics. From the 50s-90s, Stanford Stadium was filled with alums with roots in the East and Midwest who moved here after WW2, went to Stanford, settled, and helped create silicon valley. Now, this generation of fans is both dying off and moving to Colorado, Oregon, Idaho, Washington, while tons of Asian-American engineers and their families are moving in to replace them at IBM, Google, and so forth; a demographic that typically is not a huge football demographic. Meanwhile, the remaining caucasian football-fan families (or the sons/daughters of the original demographic) have grown up in a society that sees organized, violent sports as old-fashioned and not in tune with the Prius lifestyle, so they really see no need to go to games. Compound that with a team that sucks, expensive tickets, and an elitist marketing department and voila, empty stadium!
Now why hasn’t Cal had the same problem? Well, 8 years ago, I might have said they did. But then Jeff Tedford happened. After so many years of utter suckitude, Tedford re-energized the fanbase. Cal games became “cool” again. In addition, Cal draws a ton of older fans from the East and North Bay (still predominantly caucasian). Compound that with a more accessible attitude, an incredible, energized STUDENT presence 4-5x the size of Stanford’s, and vastly greater success on the football field and hey…full stadiums and tons of revenue for all!

I think it’s a little more complicated than just Asian-Americans. Keep in mind that Berkeley is to a significant extent a college town, that there are a ton of Cal alums in Oakland and the city, that Palo Alto is a pretty expensive place to live, that there’s no public transit in the South Bay – geographically and socioeconomically, Cal just has a better location in terms of bringing in fans.

I don’t dispute your overall point, mostly because I have limited experience with Stanford Stadium, but I find it moderately difficult to agree to the concept that Cal has a “good” location in terms of bringing in fans. Parking is non-existence. Public transportation is generally far away. As a young person who always has known Cal games to be that way I have no problem with it. I, in fact, love it. Because all the walking all the craziness is a Cal game to me.
But objectiely, its terrible.

Yeah, you’re absolutely right that it’s not easy to get to. My point was more that Stanford is a lot worse – you can BART to Berkeley and then walk or bus to the stadium, it’s just a pain in the ass. Stanford you pretty much have to drive to, or take Caltrain, which nobody uses.

To get to Stanford? You pretty much have to drive. Which isn’t a problem for most locals since you have to own a car to live in the South Bay. My point was more a lot of fans/potential fans – say recent graduates who can’t afford to buy a car – aren’t going to be living in that area in the first place.

Select the All-Century team:
As part of the celebration of the 100th season of California men’s basketball in 2008-09, the Cal Athletic Department is asking for fan input to select the Golden Bears’ All-Century team. A total of 30 players will be chosen for the squad, which will be unveiled during Cal’s final home weekend Feb. 26-28.
Players who earned All-America honors (1st team, 2nd team or 3rd team) or Conference Player of the Year recognition – a total of 19 – receive an automatic berth on the All-Century team, and fans will determine the final 11. Each fan will be permitted to vote one time and voting will conclude on Monday, Feb. 23.
To vote, fans can select the All-Century team link at CalBears.com.
The list of nominees stretches back through every decade to the 1920s, when the first Golden Bears earned All-America honors, through the present day. Fans are also welcome to submit write-in candidates for the All-Century team.

Cal bball tot ake on Oregons:
Looking to get back in the win column after having its nine-game winning streak snapped last Saturday, California (15-3, 4-1) returns home to face Oregon State on Thursday, Jan. 22, at 7:30 p.m. and Oregon on Saturday, Jan. 24, at 3 p.m. The Golden Bears suffered their first conference loss of the season at Stanford last Saturday, falling by the score of 75-69. Despite the loss, Cal remains tied for first place in the Pac-10 Conference.
Jamal Boykin recorded a career-high 22 points against Stanford, adding seven rebounds and four assists. The four assists also tied a personal best for Boykin.
Jerome Randle continues to pace the squad with 18.7 ppg and has been the Bears’ leading scorer in 12 of 18 games. He is dishing out 5.0 apg and owns a team-best 15 steals. Against the Cardinal, Randle secured his 300th assist, part of the seven that he had in the contest. He is just nine assists away from 10th all-time in school history. Randle is also getting close to 1,000 career points, currently standing at 915. Patrick Christopher may get there sooner as his current career point total is 959. They would be the 37th and 38th players in school history to reach 1,000 points.
Christopher cooled off a bit against the Cardinal, collecting nine points, but before that had posted four consecutive 20-point performances and led the Bears in scoring in three of them. He tallied a career-best 27 points and tied his career high in rebounds (11) against Washington on Jan. 10. Christopher is currently averaging 15.7 ppg, which is second best among the Bears.
Track starting up:
The California Golden Bears open the track and field season on Saturday, Jan. 24, in New Mexico’s inaugural Cherry & Silver Invitational indoor meet at the Albuquerque Convention Center in Albuquerque. Each of the competing teams except for New Mexico State, whose women are entered, will bring men’s and women’s teams to the Lobos’ meet: Cal, Adams State (Division II), Arizona, Arizona State, BYU, New Mexico, Northern Arizona and Stanford.
The Bears’ sprinters, jumpers, hurdlers and throwers will use the opening indoor meet to “break the ice,” Cal head coach Tony Sandoval said. “There’s a group of people who are really excited to compete, and we want to see where we’re at.”
Sandoval has a roster brimming with talent, including Bears who earned top accolades in 2008: NCAA pole-vault champion Katie Morgan, Pac-10 and MPSF high-jump champion Ed Wright, whose indoor season will close out his Cal career, Pac-10 100-meter hurdles champion Kimyon Broom and Croatian Olympian Martin Maric, who competed in Beijing last summer.
Softball getting national pub:
BERKELEY – The California softball team earned a No. 13 preseason ranking by ESPNU and a No. 17 ranking in the USA Today/NFCA Top 25 poll released on Tuesday.
ESPNU’s college contributing writer Graham Hayes, who ranked the Golden Bears No. 13, noted, “California has been to a World Series more times in recent years than the New York Yankees, so it’s not as if the 2002 national champion and one-time Oklahoma City regular is in a sad state of affairs. But after stumbling off the pace in the Pac-10 recently, the Bears may be back in top form in 2009.” Read full ESPNU post here
Cal, who returns six starters (Sanoe Kekahuna, Valerie Arioto, Vernae Sevilla, Taylor Kelly, Gina Leomiti and Bernice Masaniai) along with pitchers Marissa Drewrey, Arioto and Brittany LaRosa, finished the 2008 season with a 43-27 mark, a trip to the NCAA Super Regional and No. 14 ranking in the final USA Softball/ESPN.com Top 25 poll (No. 16 in the final USA Today/NFCA poll).
The Bears were paced by Arioto, who led the team in batting average (.324), runs (55), hits (71) and doubles (17) to earn All-Pac-10 and All-Pacific Region honors. Drewrey won 29 games in the circle with over 300 strikeouts en route to all-conference and all-region accolades. Cal set a team record with 279 RBI as well.
BBall to go to CGB North:
For just the second time since joining the Pac-10 in 1986, the California Golden Bears (5-0 Pac-10, 14-2) have started the season with a 5-0 mark in conference play. Overall, the Bears have now started conference play 5-0 or better five times in program history, but they have only gone 6-0 or better twice, in 1981-82 when they went 8-0 to begin their NorCal Conference play as well as last season’s 8-0 Pac-10 start. The Bears take a six-game winning streak to Oregon, the longest active streak in the conference. This is the second-longest winning streak of the season for the Bears who won seven games to being this season.
Cal moved back into the top-10 in the AP poll, coming in at No. 8 this week. Cal has been ranked in the top-10 in the /USA Today/ ESPN Coaches’ poll all season, this week moving up to No. 6. They have been ranked in the top-10 in at least one of the two polls in 22 of the last 23 rankings.
The Bears are in sole possession of first place in the Pac-10, a game up on the Stanford Cardinal (14-3, 4-1 Pac-10) and two games up on Oregon (7-9, 4-2 Pac-10) and Arizona State (12-6, 4-2 Pac-10).
Cal gymnast wins award:
BERKELEY – California freshman men’s gymnast Glen Ishino was named the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Gymnast of the Week for Jan. 20, it was announced Tuesday by the conference office. Freshman Glen Ishino won the all-around in his first collegiate meet to help the No. 5 California men’s gymnastics team upset No. 1 Stanford, 342.200-338.400, on Feb. 16 at Haas Pavilion.
Ishino took first in the all-around with a 86.200, which was 0.600 ahead of the second-place finisher. The Santa Ana, Calif., native won pommel horse (15.400) almost a full point ahead of his closest competitor. He was second on parallel bars, missing the tie for first-place with teammate Kyson Bunthuwong by 0.100 points.
Cal football getting pub:
BERKELEY – Although the 2008 football season concluded less than a month ago, California is getting plenty of attention for its prospects in 2009. After completing the year with a 9-4 overall record, which included a 24-17 victory over Miami in the Emerald Bowl, Cal is receiving consistent Top 20 mention for next fall’s campaign.
The highest preseason ranking to date comes from rivals.com, which pegs the Bears 12th in the country. CBS Sportsline puts Cal at 17th, while both espn.com and sportsillustrated.com have the Bears in the 20th spot.
College Football News has tabbed tailback Jahvid Best as the top returning running back and fifth-best returning player in the country, while cornerback Syd’Quan Thompson rates seventh at his position and 73rd overall.

So a scholarship offer to play for Cal is about the same as playing for Navy??? Um… I disagree. I don’t think there is equal prestige there at all.

They focused on “football prestige” (player/team success & NCAA violations) over many decades. Their definition of prestige didn’t consider the uniqueness of playing football for a service academy nor the academic contributions from universities.

Surely, this can’t be true.

After all, according to the reliable sources in BN, didn’t he switch his verbal commitment to CAL in the first place because he couldn’t meet the southern branch’s rigorous academic requirements? So surely, the southern branch football program would not risk sullying its academic superiority by wooing him there. Would they? Nah…

Then we can move onto USC (in fact, they’re such nice guys that they’d probably be willing to volunteer). Only then will we be strong enough to take down UW and finally UCLA.

3. California: As long as the Bears hang on to Jeff Tedford, they’re going to win. Question is, can they? Given the school’s foot dragging on facilities, and the annual road block to a championship that is USC, there is a sense that someday Tedford will get fed up and find a place where he can really thrive. The Big Ten perhaps? Ohio State and Michigan are nowhere near the obstacle that the Trojans present. We rate California behind Oregon simply because of the Tedford-could-leave factor.
I don’t see him leaving if things go smoothly with the SAHPC. He’s right, the Trojans are the biggest “God, I wish we could beat them” team in America.

Sounds like a big loss for their offense
In addition to his duties as line coach, Dalman also served a running-game coordinator. Under his watch, Stanford went from averaging 65.08 yards per game in 2006 — the year before he arrived — to 199.6 yards last season.
Dalman, a former Stanford and 49ers lineman, brought a sophisticated zone-blocking scheme to The Farm, which enabled the Cardinal’s beleaguered line to open wider running lanes and improve its pass protection. Stanford finished with 2,395 rushing yards in 2008, second-most in school history.

Dude, they’ve had football for, what, a hundred years? It’s not going anywhere.

it's closer than you think
that’s the same at a lot of schools that axe their football teams. Football is expensive, team’s losing, no hope in sight, no one shows up, other successful sports might be cut, so they fix the problem and cut football while keeping the successful sports. Sometimes I think it’s even a Title IX thing too.
Because it won’t dip into its seemingly bottomless endowment well to offset the up-front losses, Stanford is presenting the discordant image of the extraordinarily wealthy athletic department that is cutting staff and considering more. It is not alone, to be sure, but its place in the collegiate money chain had been unassailable – until now. And football’s inability to carry the freight finally has become critical.

I have a question for you: Do you think the new OC has something to do with our anemic passing attack in ‘08? The receivers/QBs have gotten a lot of flack, but certainly breaking in a new OC isn’t easy. Has the offense changed much with Cignetti? Or is it highly similar?
Tedford...if you're reading this...I'LL WORK FOR FREE! I'll fill out your Coach's Poll!
Wow. A serious question – I think.
I haven’t seen huge changes to the offense. The players said he changed some stuff. At the Emerald Bowl luncheon the players at my table said that the biggest thing he changed was pass protection schemes. The players said that the schemes were still fairly new to them and they felt like they couldn’t execute them as well as the old schemes.
IMO, I think it’s mostly the QBs/WRs and to a lesser extent the OC. Obviously, breakdowns in pass protection were due to injuries and perhaps due to the newness of the blocking schemes, but also because we had inconsistent QB play and WRs running wrong routes.
Things should improve next year. Things always should improve. Sometimes they don’t improve as much as hope. Let’s hope they do.

Actually, one of the biggest changes I’ve personally noticed this year was the change in Cal’s blocking scheme. We’ve moved away from using our traditional blocking scheme of pulling the backside guard. While we’ve maintained a man-blocking scheme, it has rarely involved any pulling lineman (except for obvious situations like toss sweeps).

Pardon me
I should be more specific.
one of the biggest changes I’ve personally noticed this year was the change in Cal’s RUN blocking scheme
www.californiagoldenblogs.com
I see…so, to summarize:
pass blocking: a bit new, but the guys have it figured out now…struggles late in the year against SC and OSU can be attributed to inexperienced guys learning on the fly AND talented pash rushers.
run blocking: new, and the guys really have it figured out.
So, in 2009 pass & run schemes will be more familiar & we are stacked in terms of depth. Riley will have Sam Bradford-esque time to throw.

Copywrite? What Copywrite?
I just got my Sport Illustrated today, and low and behold I find some Emerald Bowl news! On an article about Mayors betting on sports games, we get this little gem. (Excerpt below, doesn’t seem to be online, but here’s a link to prove it happened.
Before the Emerald Bowl, Miami mayor Manny Diaz promises San Francisco’s Gavin Newsom several bags of Florida oranges if the Hurricanes lose to Cal. The Bears win, but Newsom is denied his jolt of vitamin C: It’s illegal to ship Florida oranges to California (to keep a citrus canker that often attacks Sunshine State crops from spreading west). Diaz pays with stone crab claws instead. “We assumed they knew what regulations their state had,” his spokesperson said. “And we expected to win anyways.”
I’d rather have the coked-out strippers.

I was on campus today and was fortunate enoughto see a few football players..
Kevin Riley…wearing three layers of sweaters, cargo shorts, and Cal crocs (dresses as if he is from Oregon); definitely not any taller than 6’2 but probably a little above 6’1
Sean Cattouse…a little nerdy looking, like a typical Cal student; very lanky, looks like a basketball player
Jeremy Ross…too cool for school walk, looks kinda chubby on first observation but is actually just large-butted, not very tall but not short either
Cameron Jordan… not as mammoth as he appears on Saturdays, could be just the clothes; gives off distinct ’I’m a nice guy’ and ‘I like to be here’ vibes; walking next to the shortest non-midget black girl I’ve ever seen
You ain't got it like Marshawn got it
I saw Cam Jordan at the RSF last night, bballin with a couple other football players whom I did not recognize. Didn’t know they were allowed to play other sports due to injury risk…

One morning during the summer of 1994, my friends and I were playing basketball at the RSF at 8:00am, and there were a couple football players playing (Damien Seimian was the only starter/regular who was there) – turns out he can’t catch a basketball either. But he was faster than anybody else playing . . .until Jason Kidd, Lamond Murrary and Al Grigsby walked in.
Did you play with Kidd?

It’s a long story but it ended with him saying I was cool. It was also the week before he made it clear that he was going to be a household name. In a weird way, my friends and I take some credit for Pain Train.

Does anyone know the name Chris Purtz?
Also, I’m somewhat reticent to post things that could reflect poorly on the character of Cal players.

Kicked off the team in 2006 after an incident involving a racist and homophobic slurs was recorded in a SF strip club.

This is long and probably uninteresting to anyone who doesn't know my friends:
Well anyway, I went to Kip’s one night in fall 06 with 4 of my friends, including one who’d spent the last year chasing a girl around the globe and had been back in berkeley for about a month (we’ll call him "Zach"). At this point we’d had some history with Chris Purtz because he was dancing with a friend of ours at Kip’s about a week prior and when we tried to tell her we were going somewhere else he thought we were hitting on her and started pushing one of the guys telling him to stay away from “his girl” (they’d met about 5 minutes before on the dance floor).
At Kip’s, “Zach” sees a girl he’d known sophomore year (we’ll call her "Helga") and starts talking to her, Chris comes over and evidently he’s been hitting on Helga so he tells Zach to leave. Before we walk away, Helga says she wants to catch up soon. Cut to later that night, when we’re walking up the hill to get something to eat at Kingpin… Who should be standing outside the asian ghetto, but Helga. “Zach” stops to say hi and see how she’s been in the last year, when Chris comes over accompanied by Pain Train (at this point, noone knew who they were except that by their size they were football players). Chris proceeds to push my friend and tell us to back off “his girl”. One of the other guys with us (who was later dubbed “little homey”) calls him a douchebag, and all of a sudden I’m standing between Chris and little homey while they argue and Pain Train decides that the donut holes he just purchased from kingpin should be thrown over me at little homey and “Zach”. After he’s thrown almost all the donut holes that he just bought and actually hit someone once, he steps in to help me play peacemaker and decides to proclaim that “You’re cool, you’re cool, little homey needs to stop talking shit” at which point he threw his last donut hole at “Zach” and pulled Chris and the girl away, back up the hill.
That week, one of us looked them up on the team and found their name, and the next game they had, Pain Train played with the most intensity he’d had all season and basically became a household name for Cal fans. About two weeks later, Chris Purtz got kicked off the team for being a racist. Which goes to prove just what I’ve always said, throwing donut holes is cool, being a racist bigot isn’t.

PAIN TRAIN HAD NO MALICIOUS INTENT. PAIN TRAIN MERELY THOUGHT HIS PASTRY PURCHASES WERE SUPERIOR PROJECTILES BUT INFERIOR COMESTIBLES. PAIN TRAIN HARBORS NO ILL WILL NOR HARD FEELINGS TOWARDS “ZACH” AND LITTLE HOMEY.

From ESPN Insider today
• One of the stories we were interested in heading into Senior Bowl week was duel between two highly-touted centers from the Pac-10 in California’s Alex Mack and Oregon’s Max Unger. Mack was been able to create some separation from Unger during the first two days and continued to distance himself on Day 3. Mack was beaten a few times by Raji during the team period, but Raji has not been slowed down much at all this week and Mack returned the favor in one-on-one drills, doing a nice job of dropping his hips and anchoring against the 334-pound Raji. Mack also continued to do a great job of sliding and mirroring rushers while displaying the ability to re-direct when caught out of position. Mack is the clear cut leader among centers from both rosters.
