DBD 10.13.09 I have terrible, terrible news

 

I will not, unfortunately, be going on the Bruins Nation podcast this week.  They were so kind as to invite us to appear on their weekly podcast.  Just last week, they invited Madame Speaker JTLight.  It sounded like fun time was had by all.  So, I was ready to go.  I started writing a bunch of material, too.  This was high quality stuff.  Like this one bit about how men always leave the toilet seat up.  And another how my wife's slightly differing views on the nature of marriage are unimaginably controlling.  GOLD, JERRY!  GOLD!

Excited, I even wrote this incredibly accurate email to them:

Hello, this is Twist.  Ragnarok and I will be more than happy to join you guys.

And I know what all y'all are thinking here.  Ragnarok is a no-talent hack who seems unwilling or unable to manage himself in a professional manner.  You fear that Ragnarok is going to ruin everything with a series of inane non-sequitirs that do little more than lower the dignity of all involved.  But don't worry.  I've discussed it with Ragnarok and he's not going to do or say anything that would insult UCLA or Bruins Nation in any way. 

PS Between you and me, Ragnarok is a no-talent hack who seems unwilling or unable to manage himself in a professional manner.

 

But they said, for time concerns, it would be helpful to have only one person from CGB.  And, after a bitter, bitter, bitter private debate, Ragnarok emerged victorious.  People believe that he will apparently "manage himself in a professional manner" And not "ruin everything with a series of inane non-sequitirs that do little more than the lower the dignity of all involved."  And be "much more attractive facially than you, TwistNHook."

GUILTY AS CHARGED, DAMMIT!

So, yes, I won't be appearing on the BN Podcast tomorrow.  Instead, it will be Ragnarok providing in depth analysis on everything Cal-UCLA.  It starts at 6 PM PST Wedned, Oct 14.  I am not entirely sure how to listen, there is prolly a link at BN.  When I know more, Ill tell more.  GO BEARS!

Monty on Chron Live:

BERKELEY - California men's basketball coach Mike Montgomery will be a guest on Comcast SportsNet Bay Area's Chronicle Live program on Tuesday, October 13. Montgomery will sit down with host Greg Papa to discuss the 2009-10 season. The show airs from 5-6 p.m. and will be rebroadcast from 11 p.m.-midnight.

In one season at the helm, Montgomery helped the Golden Bears earn a berth in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2006 and a Top-25 ranking (No. 22) for the first time since 2003. He took a team that was projected to finish eighth in the Pac-10 preseason poll last year and led them to a tie for third place. Montgomery's career record is 569-255 (.691), a mark that places him 10th in victories among active coaches at the Division I level.

Cal has earned some high preseason rankings thus far - No. 14 Athlon Sports, No. 16 The Sporting News and ESPN The Magazine, and No. 20 CBSSports.

Your first chance to catch the Bears in action will on Thursday, Nov. 5, when the Bears welcome Chico State for an exhibition game at 7:30 p.m. at Haas Pavilion. The season opener is slated for Monday, Nov. 9, vs. Murray State at 8 p.m. at Haas. For tickets, please click here.

Mens golf leads tourney:


FAIRFAX, Calif. – California leads the Alister MacKenzie Invitational after two rounds at Meadow Club on Monday at 23-under, good for a five-stroke lead over Oregon, which held a seven-stroke lead after 18 holes. Colorado (-13), Oregon State (-12), Fresno State (-11) and defending champion San Diego State (-9) round out the top six at the end of 36 holes, all within four strokes of each other.

Golden Bear junior Stephen Hale leads the event at 10-under, one stroke in front of SDSU’s Johan Carlsson, with three players close behind at 7-under.

The Ducks’ Daniel Miernicki had a hole-in-one on the par-3 eighth hole during the second round.

Cal delivered the best turnaround on the day between the first and second rounds, scoring 11 shots lower in its second versus its first. Only five other teams – Colorado, Minnesota, Colorado State, Wisconsin, San Francisco – bettered their scores between the first and second rounds.

Tournament leader Hale caught fire after the turn in round one, sinking four birdies on the final five holes and adding eight more birdies in a dominant 7-under second round to exit Monday 10-under. Cal freshman Weaver began both rounds with birdies and stayed focused after a double bogey to end round one, leaving him at 5-under (T8).

Junior Eric Mina birdied the par-5 first hole to start his day but slipped a bit with four bogies to end round one at 1-over, then settled down to fire four birdies in the second round and end Monday at 3-under (T16). Chad Vivolo, a transfer junior, offset four bogies with six birdies for a 2-under finish to the first 18 holes, and ended up at 1-over after a five-bogey second round (T35). Redshirt freshman James Coré dug himself a hole with a five-bogey, 5-over first round before righting his ship just before the final turn of the day, sinking a birdie on the eighth hole and adding four more for a 3-under second round and +2 two-round result (T41).

Mens water polo player named player of the week:


WOODLAND, CALIF. – University of California junior center Zach White has been named the Oct. 12 Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Co-Mikasa Player of the Week, it was announced by MPSF commissioner Al Beaird. White shared his first career MPSF player of the week honor with USC senior Justin Rappel.

White, a 6-2, 220-pounder from Mission Viejo, helped the No. 4-ranked Bears (11-4) to a runner-up finish at the UCI Invitational last weekend in Irvine, scoring eight goals (four in each match) in Cal victories over No. 5 Loyola Marymount (9-8) and No. 1-ranked and previously unbeaten Stanford (10-8). He also had nine ejections earned in three of the tournament matches. White is now second on the Bears’ squad with 25 goals in 13 matches.

White joins sophomore attacker Cory Nasoff as the Bears’ MPSF Player of the Week selections this season. Nasoff was the Sept. 8 MPSF Co-POW after helping Cal to a 4-0 start at the Navy Open in Annapolis, Md., scoring 11 goals in matches against Iona, Navy and Bucknell.

XC to compete at tourneys:

CAL ON THE ROAD AT PRE-NATIONALS, BRONCO INVITATIONAL: The Cal cross country teams hit the road this week for a pair of meets on Saturday, Oct. 17. Much of the squad will travel to Terre Haute, Ind., for the Pre-National Invitational on the LaVern Gibson Cross Country Championship Course, while the remaining Golden Bears will race at the Bronco Invitational hosted by Santa Clara.

The Pre-National meet, hosted by Indiana State, will be run on the same course as the NCAA championships, which will be contested Nov. 23. This weekend’s events will be 8,000 meters for the men and 6,000 meters for the women; at NCAAs, the distances will be 10,000 meters and 6,000 meters, respectively.

Cal will certainly have a clear understanding of where it ranks on the national level by the end of the day Saturday, with 13 of the top 20 men’s teams and 14 of the top women’s teams in the field. Last year, the Bear men placed eighth out 41 teams, and the Cal women were 15th out of 39 squads.

The Bronco Invitational will take place at Baylands Regional Park in Sunnyvale and gets underway with the women’s 5K at 9 a.m. The men’s 8K race starts at 10:30.

BEARS SECOND AT STANFORD INVITE: Running against their strongest field to date, the Golden Bear men’s and women’s cross country teams both placed second to Stanford at the Stanford Invitational Sept. 26. Steve Sodaro paced Cal for the second consecutive meet, finishing in 15th place, with Collin Jarvis (17th) and Maxime Chevee (18th) also in the top 20. On the women’s side, Deborah Maier, running in her first race of the fall, was fourth overall, while Ellie Keene claimed the 14th position.

GOLDEN BEAR NOTES: In the most recent regional rankings, the Cal men are eighth in the West, while the Golden Bear women are sixth … in addition to Steve Sodaro, who finished first among Cal runners at the Sac State and Stanford meets, Collin Jarvis was the lead Bear runner at the USF Invitational … three different Cal women have led the Bears across the line this season; Keena Kohl won the USF Invitational, Hillary Hayes was fourth at Sac State, and Deborah Maier was fourth at Stanford … the Cal men have reached the NCAA championships the past two years, finishing a program-best 16th in 2007, as well as 22nd in 2008 … the Bears welcome two highly decorated transfers this fall in James Brewer (University of Bath in England), who was a semifinalist in the 1500 meters at the World Track & Field Championships over the summer, and Chris Vizcaino of nearby Lafayette, Calif., who helped Iona to a runner-up finish at the 2008 NCAA championships … Brewer and Michael Coe will redshirt this fall to recover from busy summer track seasons.

Last night's HIMYM

Anyone watch it? I think most people can agree this season has gone downhill. Part of that is weak writing, part of that is staid storylines, but I blame it mostly on what they’ve done to Barney.

I honestly think there has been one decent episode this whole season — Ted’s two dates with the same girl. It wasn’t too funny, but at least the ideas and storyline were good.

I’m tired of Barney being coupled and not trying to sleep with random women and all that stuff. It’s quite like what they did with Joey on Friends by having him date Rachel and those were some of the worst episodes to watch.

That said, the last ten seconds of the show gave me hope for the rest of the season.

How is it going to work? Just have it take data in .csv or something and slap on the appropriate table tags.

dboneisloose

by HolmoePhobe on Oct 13, 2009 1:42 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

No that’s not what it does. Here’s the general idea:

We have a lot of people here that like to look at stats for various Cal-football related things. Currently we gather the stats by hand or something similar.

What I wanted was to store all the relevant stats in a database and then provide a web interface for people to say “hey give me all the games (and it’s associated stats i.e. points for, points against, yds, to, etc) that Cal has played on turfs that are NOT artificial between the years 2002-present” and it will provide you with a csv file with the information you seek. And then you can use it anyway you want.

The problem is it’s easy for a human to ask “give me all the games that Cal has played against a head coach that doesn’t coach anymore” but I don’t know how to turn a literal English sentence into something the computer can understand. So I have to make an interface (with tons of drop-down boxes probably) that is both easy for someone to use and can easily be understood by the computer.

where would you store the database?

As far as what the wiki article tells me it’s used to aggregate information. This tool isn’t used to aggregate. It’s basically saying that given this huge BLOB of data filter it down and return a subset that I can use for something else. It won’t do aggregation (ok maybe it might but that wasn’t the first plan).

Actually maybe I should just make this an excel clone

I don’t know about using a pivot table to aggregate data. I use them to filter labor hour data for my projects because our accounting systems are so wack.

Basically, I get a file with let’s say about 3000 records composed of maybe 12 data elements per line. I can use the pivot table to define order of precedence for data elements for the rows – (project numbers, weeks when charged), the data that the columns represent (employees), and then the data in the rows by column (hours charged), and have the table sum it.

That’s pretty basic usage, but it at least mimics some of the basic orders of precedence and filtering that have been discussed in this sub-thread.

And the damn lights on the gearbox have gone out so I have to get that fixed. And the car alarm doesn’t work anymore so that’s another thing I have to do (I use the key to lock and unlock now).

When my mother-in-law moved to Maine a few years ago, I bought her 96 Audi A4 at a very competitive price – or so I thought – because she wasn’t going to be within 2 hours of an Audi shop.

That car, over the time I drove it regularly, averaged out at $350 / month in repair bills. I might as well have bought a new car and paid a note instead. The highlight, without a doubt, was the $4300 repair bill right before Thanksgiving 2006.

Ok here’s a simple fix:

Instead of (home team is cal) OR (away team is cal), I’ll have a drop down that says “either team”. So it becomes (either team is cal) and (opposing coach …). Maybe I can make it all ANDs and anywhere I need an or I can work around it.

Wilner on Tedford

LINK

Tedford can spin the situation however he wants. But the only way the Bears can prove this isn’t ‘07 all over again — to their fans and themselves — is to do what they couldn’t do back then: Beat somebody other than Washington State.

They don’t need to dominate UCLA. They don’t even need to look good. But they must win — doesn’t matter if it’s 49-48 or 4-3.

Given the manageable schedule ahead, a victory would have the added benefit of putting Cal (3-2, 0-2) back on track for an upper-level finish in the Pacific-10 Conference. You could make a pretty good case for the Bears reeling off three or four victories in a row if they win Saturday.

But just as victory could propel Cal to a first-rate season, defeat — especially a resounding, lifeless defeat — surely would accelerate its demise and raise legitimate questions about Tedford’s future.

I would agree with this. The Bears need a win in the worst way, and a road win over a good-but-not-great Pac-10 team would do wonders. Cal is just 2-10 in its last 12 Pac-10 road games.

So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!

But he’s got a point…

Then again we all knew this going in, which reminds me that Wilner serves no purpose in life other than to stimulate blog discussion on MercuryNews.com… The guy is a complete hack…

But yes a win on Saturday would do wonders for the Bears hopes this year… A loss and it becomes a much steeper uphill battle to even get 3 more wins… That hurt to type that…

I say Cal scores a touchdown but misses the extra point, the Pac-10 officials then are unable to complete simple math and in attempting to subtract 1 from 7 end up with 4.

Also, Cal never gets a safety, even when they do tackle someone in the end zone. I can think of at least 4 instances in the past two years when Cal deserved a safety and it was not awarded.

We’ve gotten a few, but it’s always when a high snap sails over the punter’s head and out the back of the end zone.

In NCAA 09 I had a kicker called John Paul that would consistently kick it out of the endzone :(
I also had a linebacker called Ceaser Flavian that was Zack Follet reincarnated.
I also created the “BEST EVAR” QB called Gordon Freeman (from Half-Life) who committed to LSU and won the Heisman. I picked him off a bunch of times and held him to under 100 yds passing and rushing in the NC game!

I played pretty hardcore until Madden came. I had one class where I had 15 5-star recruits come and sign onto the team. The problem with doing this is the fact that no other team can really compete in the Pac-10 or anywhere else.

Since I only played one season of NCAA 10 before my Xbox RROD’d I can’t say much about that.

But in NCAA09 once Cal took over the top USC fell hard. They were the perennial #3-#4 of the Pac-10. Oregon consistently hovered around an 8 win or 5 season. UCLA always rose to the top-5 only to get their asses handed to them by Cal.

My two best games were:

1) USC came to Berkeley in 2011 or something. Sweeney was the QB. I had a 5* RB recruit called Timbers but Vereen was the starter (he had come back from an injury). USC jumped to a 21-3 lead by half. By 4th Q it was 24-3. I benched Vereen and started Timbers. Sweeney racked up nearly 300yds of offense by passing to Timbers all quarter long as we score 22 unanswered points (went for 2 in the last TD) as we won 24-25.

2) We had a classic desert shootout @ ASU where by 4th Q the score was 42-42. It went into 2OT and I had just scored a TD to make it 63-56. Facing a 4th and goal at the 5 yd line the ASU QB dropped back when our stud LB Flavian pulled a Follet and sacked him causing a fumble and preserving the victory for Cal. 2 of ASU’s scores came from KO returns for TD. Alamar curses video games too!
