PrintWe've been getting your feedback from the Golden Feedback thread and we really appreciate it. Of course, we'd never ever make any of your comments public. Except for the following ones.
See, we've been getting a lot that in the following vein:
Twist, you are, by far, the best thing to ever happen to me, keep on keeping on.
Twist, I don't know how you do it, your delicious munchkin, but you nail it on a near daily basis!
Twist, for the love of god, you need to cover yourself in some sort of giant tarp or tarp-like object, because your luminescent gorgeousness threatens to ruin us all for others.
Twist, I wish it was you who had my child. Now, if you excuse me, I have to go practice my trombone.
Twist, you are like the NSFW photo of my heart. Every morning I wake up (unfortunately, earlier than ever these days) and think Man, if only I could roll over and see Twist sleeping there so quietly. Then, truly my life would be complete.
Twist, this is January Jones. That was the greatest night of my life. Never leave me.
Twist, this is HydroTech. That was the greatest night of my life. Never leave me.
And just on and on and on and on and on and on and on. I appreciate all of your comments, I really do. Keep them coming. But please, stop complementing me so much. I'm being serious. I have major self-esteem problems.
In that I have too much.
Others stand in front of the mirror each day and tell themselves positive affirmations. You can do this. You can achieve your goals. You can accomplish your dreams. You are good enough and goddamn it, people like you.
I have to do the opposite. Each morning I wake up, take a shower, wipe the steam off the mirror, sigh softly, stare at myself and just go "FUCK YOU YOU COCK SUCKING MOTHER FUCKER YOU AINT SHIT IF YOU WERE SO GOOD YOUD BE AN INTERNATIONAL JET SETTER, NOT STUCK IN A SUBURB SO WHITE THEY WOULDN'T LET THE IRISH IN. YOU ARE INCREDIBLY SHITTY AT YOUR CHOSEN PROFESSION AND SHOULD LEAVE IMMEDIATELY TO BECOME A HOMELESS LOUT. I HAVE NO DISCERNIBLE EXPLANATION AS TO WHY YOU MANAGED TO CONVINCE A WOMAN TO MARRY YOU. IT TRULY BOGGLES THE MOTHERFUCKING MIND, YOU DUMBASS. YOU WILL FAIL TODAY. YOU WILL FAIL YOU WILL FAIL HARD YOU WILL EMBARRASS YOURSELF IN A NEW AND INVENTIVE WAY TODAY."
I wasn't sure if these negative affirmations were going to be correct today, but then I wrote this DBD. And I knew that I had concocted a new and inventive way to embarrass myself. So, please stop with all the positive feedback. My ego is so big I had to rent an apartment in the Richmond to store it. I don't need to scream at myself much more, my wife already does such a great job at that. So, please. Stop. Just stop. Tell us how how we're doing without proverbially cupping my balls. If that's even possible!

Mens soccer goes to SoCal:
This Week
Tenth/thirteenth-ranked California (8-3-0 overall, 2-1-0 Pac-10) hits the road to play its next two Pac-10 Conference games, at No. 2/4 UCLA (6-1-2, 1-0-2) at 7 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 15, and at San Diego State (3-3-4, 0-1-2) at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 17. The Golden Bears are ranked No. 10 in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) poll and No. 13 in the Soccer America poll. Cal is tabbed No. 15 in the NCAA Men’s Soccer RPI.
Scouting the Golden Bears
Cal lost to Washington, 2-0, on Oct. 9 and rebounded to defeat Oregon State, 4-1, on Oct. 11 at Edwards Stadium in Berkeley. The Washington match marked Cal’s first home loss and first shutout loss of the season. The Bears had their share of chances to score, particularly early and then late, but were unlucky against a good Huskies team. Senior defender Jacob Wilson returned to Cal’s starting lineup after missing three games due to injury.
Senior forward Jeff Cosgriff scored his first career hat trick and Cal’s first hat trick of the season to power the Bears to the win over the Beavers. Junior forward Andrew Wiedeman scored Cal’s fourth goal. Wiedeman continues to lead the Bears in goals (10), points (23) and game-winning goals (5); he also has three assists.
Cosgriff ranks second at Cal in points (16), goals (6) and assists (4). Junior midfielder Hector Jimenez (1 goal, 8 assists) paces Cal in assists and ranks third in points (10).

Mens golf wins tourney:
FAIRFAX, Calif. -California won its second team tournament of 2009-10 and Stephen Hale won the Golden Bears’ second individual title of the fall season when the Alister MacKenzie Invitational was forced to cancel Tuesday’s final round at Meadow Club due to heavy and ongoing rain and winds, making the course unplayable.
The two rounds played yesterday made the seventh running of the MacKenzie an official NCAA event, and yesterday’s action – with the Bears pulling in front of the first-round leading Oregon Ducks on the strength of a great 18 holes punctuated by fiery back nine – are now the final results.
“There wasn’t a player that arrived at the golf course Saturday or Sunday that didn’t know we were in for trouble today,” said Bears head coach Steve Desimone about the unplayable conditions.
“Our highest priority was to get 36 holes in to make sure it was official and the players did a really good job getting around the course twice. We’re really proud of the way we played. When the winds picked up, we just seemed to play better and better.”
Cal finished at 23-under, five strokes ahead of 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) rounded out the top six.

Field hockey to take on Miami of Ohio:
This Week
After enjoying its biggest offensive outburst of the season in its last game, the California field hockey team travels to Miami of Ohio this week and then will host Pacific in the final home game of the year for the Golden Bears. Cal (4-8, 2-1 NorPac) faces Miami on Friday, Oct. 16, at 11 a.m. (PT) and Pacific on Sunday, Oct. 18, at 1 p.m. Sunday’s game will also be the final game at Maxwell Family Field for forward Natalie Nurnberg and defender Sophie Sproats. While both Nurnberg and Sproats have one more year of eligibility, they’re fourth-year seniors academically and will graduate this spring.
Nurnberg Earns All-Conference Honors
Natalie Nurnberg won NorPac Offensive Player of the Week honors this week after she tallied five points (1 goal, 3 assists) in Cal’s 6-1 victory over UC Davis last Saturday. As a team, this is Cal’s fifth conference weekly award. Nurnberg scored the match’s first goal in the first five minutes and followed with an assist on the eventual game-winner. She later added two more assists on penalty-corner goals in the second half.
Nurnberg’s offensive output gives her a team and a league-tying best 18 points. She is also tied for the team lead with six goals and six assists. In Cal’s last two wins, Nurnberg has scored the first goal in the first five minutes of the match.
Cal’s Offense Explodes Against UC Davis
The Bears, who had scored two goals in their previous three games, let out their offensive frustrations with a 6-1 victory over UC Davis last Saturday in Berkeley. Sophomore Erin Magill scored twice on converted penalty corners, while Natalie Nurnberg, redshirt freshman Megan Shimojima, Sophie Sproats and junior Megan Psyllos all scored, as well. Magill and Nurnberg are tied for the team lead in goals with six. Freshman Deanna Kennedy tallied her fifth and sixth assists of the season on both of Magill’s goals. She is tied with Nurnberg for the team lead in the category.
It was a season-high afternoon in a number of different categories for Cal. The season highs included goals (6), assists (6), shots (28), shots on goal (17) and penalty corners (15).

Wilner brings up an important topic in this Saturday’s game: Special Teams
Placekicking:
UCLA’s Kai Forbath is 13-14 on field goals; he’s one of the best in the country.
Cal’s Vince D’Amato is 4-8.
Punting
UCLA’s Jeff Locke leads the conference with a 46.3 net.
Cal’s cannon-legged Bryan Anger has been struggling (39.7 net).
Punt returns
UCLA’s Terrence Austin averages 10.5 yards per return with a long of 45.
Cal’s Syd’Quan Thompson averages 5.6 ypr with a long of 12.
Kick returns
Austin averages 24.8 ypr.
Cal’s Shane Vereen averages 25.6 ypr.
Coverage units
It’s about even on kicks, although UCLA has 10 touchbacks and Cal has one.
UCLA has a huge edge in net punting, with a 41.3 average (first place) vs. Cal’s 33.9 net (last place). The Bears have also allowed one touchdown, the 66-yarder by USC’s Damian Williams.
Advantage
UCLA, by a substantial margin.
"We lose to Stanford in many sports, but if you want to make a Cal team quit, bring a weapon."
--Coach Clark
Stats on Punts Within the 20
I guess it doesn’t matter with the aenemic offense, but usually punts landing within the 20 yard line is a better measure. You can only punt so far if you keep punting from the 50 without getting a touchback.
Pac-12 in 2011? Rumors:
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/260725-a-pac-12-in-2011-hints-abound
Enter Larry Scott
The recent hire of former Women’s Tennis Association president Larry Scott has strongly demonstrated that the Pac-10 is finally looking to improve its status.
Since joining the conference, Larry Scott has worked aggressively to promote the Pac-10.
He finalized a new bowl deal with the Alamo Bowl, giving the Pac-10 a significant upgrade in both payout and visibility.
Scott has been busy defending its reputation.
Scott was out in front of the Blount issue and put the Pac-10 on the moral high ground with the strong discipline set forth.
So what more does Scott need to do?
Expansion?
Another thing Scott has done is talk with the media. In a recent interview with a Phoenix sports-talk station, Scott discussed his ideas for improving the conference.
In looking at home to improve the conference, including getting better television deals, Scott mentioned that expanding the conference and adding a conference championship game is a on-going part of the internal discussions.
ESPN.com Pac-10 blogger Ted Miller discussed in a post from August that a “informed guy” with a say on expansion had recently informed him that conference expansion was something under discussion for the next two years, with Colorado and Utah as being the two ideal targets.
All well and good, but I gave little consideration of this issue until another piece of news came out recently.
Washington State University cancelled a planned 2011 trip play at Hawaii and will pay $300,000, citing “uncertain changes in the Pac-10 scheduling.”
Now, that is very odd and most likely too much truth.
Colorado and Utah would be an off combination. The conference likes teams in pairs, in state, rivals.
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.
Think of it as a Rocky Mtn Rivalry.
These are the best two schools one could add…from many perspectives.
"We lose to Stanford in many sports, but if you want to make a Cal team quit, bring a weapon."
--Coach Clark
Does this really improve the quality of football though? At least in the near term, Colorado is terrible and I find it hard to believe Utah would be as successful in the Pac-10 as they are in the Mountain West.
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.
I think it does. Sure Utah might not have that sparkling record like in 2008. However, they’re a solid Western football program. Colorado was highly competitive until the Southwestern Conference dissolved and became the Big12S. The Big12N has practically no shot consistently winning the Big12 as currently constructed.
As the article points out:
So, simply put the Pac-10 has four major problems:
1. Inferior television deals;
2. Weak bowl tie-ins;
3. Low revenue relative to other top conferences; and
4. Poor conference national perception.
This allows for 8 conference games (adding some matchup novelty every year), 4 OOC games, and a highly overhyped Conference Championship game against (likely) a ranked foe late in the season.

Well, then you go get Boise or BYU or something. Getting stuck with 11 teams is worse than either 10 or 12.

Boise only makes sense in Football. It would be detrimental to the other Pac-10 sports to include Boise State.
It's spelled "S-H-U-F-E-L-T-H-I-M-S-E-L-F"
Boise doesn’t make sense at all if the point is to significantly expand the Pac-10’s footprint. Which it is.

We get a tougher division, I think, but perhaps not horrendously so.
I think in the end, there’s a talent lean towards the south division (like the Big XII) because more of the best recruits are from there. It’s an easier sell getting recruits to leave if they know they’ll play a game in LA at least once a year.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
Stanford, Arizona, UCLA, and ASU have all had periods of suck within the last several years. Although they do seem on the up and up, it doesn’t necessarily mean we get the tougher division.
Of course, any division with USC in it is going to be tougher just because.

That IS interesting. Because unlike conferences without a round-robin, you can pretty much project the Pac-10 schedule out until the end of time. The only other plausible explanation I can think of would be if Wazzu was considering moving the Apple Cup permanently to December or something, which would conflict with the contracted date for the trip to Hawai’i.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
There is one other possibility: maybe Wazzou has decided that this whole “football” thing isn’t really working out for them.

As to expansion
I wouldn’t read a whole lot into this yet. This is Bleacher Report, where anyone can write about any rumor they please.
Secondly, why would Utah leave a conference that has provided them with BCS at-large bids twice in five years for a conference that has USC in it?
Thirdly, Colorado has a longstanding rivalry with Nebraska and many other Big 8/Big 12 schools. They’ve been in the conference for nearly 50 years. Plus they already rejected one bid to the Pac-10 a decade and a half ago.
No, I’m guessing if the Pac-10 wanted to expand to 12, the 12th school has to be BYU or Hawaii. There’s no other way it works for them.

Hawaii will never join the Pac-10, period.
Colorado can still play Nebraska, look at Iowa and Iowa State or Florida and Florida State.
Utah would be intrigued because it would get more money through it’s involvement with the Pac-10. Also, prestige.
As for the Bleacher Report though, absolutely right. But, always a fun discussion.
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.
I guess I don’t really see it, since Colorado has already rejected one bid. The landscape hasn’t drastically changed for them to reconsider their position. And let’s face it, the Big 12 North is one of the weakest conferences to win with Nebraska.
What is Hawaii’s collegiate ranking in comparison to Oregon State, Arizona State and Utah?

I wasn’t nixing Hawaii on the basis of academics, especially when Oregon State is in the conference.
I was nixing them because of the added travel costs and time difference. I think it’s too great to overcome.
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.
I dunno, four trips a year to Hawaii (I’m assuming the Pac-12 would go from 9 conference to 8 conference games)? I can live with that.
Plus it has to be better for Hawaii, who currently have to travel to Louisiana Tech, Utah State and Boise State every other year.

Other than the game, I quite enjoyed my visit to Tennessee back in ’06.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
Amazingly enough, there are parts of this country in which white people get a better reception than others.

Amazingly enough, I’m pretty sure there are plenty of non-White people that enjoyed their trip to Tennessee and there are plenty of non-White people that enjoy living there. Then again, stereotypes are easy.
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.
Then again I’ve been to Atlanta, GA and Nashville, TN and have seen it with my own eyes and heard with my own ears.

Did I just say racism doesn’t exist? You’d be surprised by the things I’ve heard in enlightened cities like San Francisco.
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.
How does any of this disprove royrules’ original point that ragnarok being white makes it less probable that he would encounter racism in Tennessee?
dboneisloose
The point is that while there is surely racism in Tennessee, it exists everywhere. Also, I specifically said non-Whites enjoyed the road trip and enjoy living there.
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.
Again, you’re attacking a straw man. I never said racism didn’t exist elsewhere, I said that royrules’ original point was that white people would be less likely to encounter racism in Tennessee than non-white people. Anecdotal evidence does not disprove this claim.

No I never assumed you said that. I’m just refuting your point where you say that anyone can go to TN and feel good. I disagree. Yes racism is present everywhere but it’s A LOT more prevalent in places like the deep south, idaho, etc.

Indeed. I was traveling with non-white people (even -gasp- interracial couples!) and had no problems whatsoever.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
I’m mostly responding to royrules saying that Whiteness had anything to do with enjoying a road trip to Tennessee.

I’m white and I hated my trip to Knoxville…
Although racist isn’t as blatant as in the past, people definitely seem to only associate with those of their own race there…
Now I hated Knoxville for many many MANY other reasons, but I have to agree that the feeling of “Separate but Equal” still applies down there…
But Eastern Tennessee in general sucks… Though I got to go to Gattlenburg (where they invented the Gattling gun) and drove past Dolly World (that looked like a retarded Disneyland)… Never mind those both sucked as much as Pigeon Forge…
E. Tenn. edges out Ft. Collins for worst place I’ve spent an extended amount of time in…
I hear El Paso is beautiful in December....
My point is that being White, he can travel to 99% of America without a single problem.

FINAL: No TV for Wazzu Game
I emailed Sandy after reading a Jonathan Okanes report saying the game will not be televised, even after additional efforts from the AD. This was her reply:
BM,
We worked diligently with Comcast Bay Area and Comcast NW to get the game televised both in the Bay Area and for WSU fans in the NW. Comcast had some operational and telecast window issues, as well as the issue of the $64,000 that needed to be paid to Mussco lights for the lighting equipment usage (not the electricity for turning the lights on). Obviously, the lighting issue will be alleviated in the renovated CMS, as we will own the lights so there would be no fee.
I would like to correct one statement in Jonathan’s report. There is no revenue associated with a Comcast Telecast. Comcast pays us a lump sum for football, basketball and Olympic sport sponsorship, whether or not they telecast a football game. We have typically been able to arrange 1 per season. They (Comcast) already televised the Eastern Washington game. As you are aware, both our ABC/ESPN and Fox partners pay us in excess of $200,000 per game for television, which we split the costs of the lights (actual equipment, not the electricity) with the visiting team.
I know that none of this changes the fact that we’re not going to be televised for WSU. But it was not for lack of trying to work something out.
Thanks for your support.
Go Bears!
SB
I for one really appreciate her additional efforts. I really can’t wait for a renovated CMS and for a better television deal.
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.

Yesterday the #1 ranked Cal Golden Bears kicked off their 2010 season with a resounding 49-7 win over UC Davis. The very next game had the Colorado Buffs come into Berkeley looking to upset the #1 Bears. At half I was leading 21-7 but Colorado scored 3TDs in the 4th quarter to take the game into OT. However the defense clamped down and forced a turnover on downs. Two possessions later Vereen took the pitch into the endzone to seal a 41-35 Cal win.
Riley was 18-28 for some 280yds, 3TD and 1INT. Hawkins (the CU QB) went some 21-24 for 330yds and 5TDs. Vereen had 17 carries for 160yds and 2TD. But the clutch plays were Riley breaking free from a sack and hitting Marvin Jones for a TD… twice! Once with 5 seconds left in the first half and the last with 1min left in the 4th to put Cal up 35-28 (and Colorado needed one 60yd bomb to tie it up). Riley also broke free from a sack to hit Vereen for a first down in OT.
In other words, Go Bears!

Flipped Big-Rig Blocks WB Bay Bridge
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS 5 / KCBS / BCN) ― A big-rig overturned Wednesday afternoon on the westbound Bay Bridge mid span and blocked four out of five lanes, authorities said.
California Highway Patrol spokesman Shawn Chase indicated that the crash, involving a Safeway truck, occurred just after 2:30 p.m. at the new S-curve section of the bridge.
Chase said only the left lane remained open.
The top of the truck’s trailer ripped open, spilling its contents onto the road.
Chase estimated that it would take at least an hour to clear the roadway, but by 4 p.m. it was still uncertain when the lanes would be reopened.

USA got down 2-0 early. Played with heavy hearts as Charlie Davies is still in serious condition. Scored a goal about 2/3 or so thru the game. Then, in stoppage time, with seconds to go, USA had one last chance, a corner kick. And, they converted. Instead of automatically qualifying Costa Rica now has to go to a playoff and USA wins CONCAF.

I think they could have eased off at the end there. I thought the Costa Ricans behind us were going to have a core dump.
And here you were a skeptic!
What it does go to show is that soccer just like any other sport – you play to the whistle or suffer the consequences. The Costa Ricans tried to sit on a one goal lead even when they had counter-attacking opportunities and hoped they could arse about until the game was over. I felt for the supporters more than the team.
Oh that was a bonehead play. Could have been an incompletion, but the receiver thinks “…BALL!” and dives on the deflection… for a loss. Brilliant.
