DBD 10.6.09 Time to step up our game

No, not just the Cal football team, but us.  The Cal fans.  And this isn't just cheering at the stadium at the right times or something like that.  It's more about writing DBDs, so I don't have to.  I'm so lazy these days and would rather not do this.  But then I wake up and nobody else has done it, so I'm the last line of defense.  What's in it for you?

Well, not only do you avoid a DBD written by me, but you avoid a DBD written frantically by me in the morning before I have to head to work.  Not exactly my finest work.  All I have today is another story about Mrs. Twist of moderate hilarity.  We recently went to a wedding, where a fun time was had by all.  They had a guestbook where people could write notes to stand for time immemorial.  We just hung out with the newlyweds and had a chance to read through the guestbook and see what people had written.  I wrote something like "Congratulations"  Surprisingly normal.  Very surprisingly normal.

But I guess Mrs. Twist had a little too much to drink that day.  She had written the following:

"I am very lucky you are here.  Yeah or yay, rather.  Love, [Mrs. Twist]"

I dunno, that's probably not that funny to you guys, but for some insane reason that continues to really kill me.  I am very lucky you are here.

And this is why you can't leave it to me to write the DBDs.  Time to step up our game.  Inspire the team to greatness with amazing DBDs!  GO BEARS!

Womens swimming to host Pacific:

On the Pool Deck
California hosts its first home dual meet of the season when the Golden Bears welcome Pacific to Spieker Aquatics Complex starting at noon on Saturday, Oct. 10. The day will also feature the Cal men's team taking on the Pacific men at 1 p.m. at Spieker.

Leverenz Crowned Queen of the Pool at Cal Poly to Open 2009-10 Season
Cal freshman Caitlin Leverenz claimed the Queen of the Pool title as the 2009 NCAA champion Golden Bears opened the new season on Sept. 18 in a pentathlon of events at Cal Poly's Anderson Aquatic Center. The Tucson, Ariz., product had the lowest combined time (4:49.55) after swimming five 100-yard events: the freestyle, butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and individual medley. Cal sophomore Sara Isakovic (4:54.53), junior Erica Dagg (4:56.55) and sophomore Shelley Harper (4:56.85) finished second, third and fourth, respectively.

Isakovic and Leverenz each won two events, with the latter taking the 100-yard breaststroke in a time of 1:03.41 and the 100-individual medley in a time of 57.95. A 2008 Olympian for her native Slovenia, Isakovic won the freestyle (51.66) and butterfly (55.16) races. Dagg won the backstroke (57.06).

Leverenz also placed second in the fly (55.95), Harper took second in the IM (59.06) and Dagg finished second in the freestyle (51.81) just 15 hundredths of a second behind Isakovic. Another Cal freshman, Samantha Pearson, was second in the backstroke (58.53).

Last Time Against Pacific
The Bears opened the 2008-09 season against Pacific and defeated the Tigers, 147.5-103.5, on Oct. 11, 2008, in Stockton, Calif. Cal won eight of the 14 events, with the foursome of Lauren Rogers, Alexandra Ellis, Hannah Wilson and Madison Kennedy claiming the 200-yard medley relay. Seven different Bears (Blake Hayter in the 100 freestyle, Lauren Boyle in the 200 free, Ellis in the 100 breaststroke, Kelsey Hoff in the 200 butterfly, Dana Vollmer in the 50 free, Wilson in the 100 free and Shelley Harper in the 500 free) won individual events.

Womens golf doing well:

SAMMAMISH, WASH. -

The California Golden Bears women’s golf team is at the top of the team leaderboard after the first round of the Edean Ihlanfeldt Invitational tournament in Sammamish, Wash. Cal’s team score of 296 (+8) was five strokes ahead of the University of San Francisco’s +13 on day one of the three day tournament. Stanford was in third place, 12 strokes off of Cal’s pace.

The Bears jumped out to a quick lead with one player birding each of the first four holes. Sophomore Diane Kwon had birdies on the par-four first and par-five second holes. Sophomore Emily Childs carded a three on the par-four third and junior Pia Halbig birdied the par-four fourth hole. They never relinquished the lead, coming in at +8 to lead the field of 12 teams playing on the par-72 6,136 yard course at Sahalee Country Club near Seattle.

The Bears have four golfers in the top-10 after the first round. Halbig and Childs finished their days at one-over, putting them into a tie for second and just one stroke behind tournament-leader Natasha Podmore of USF. Childs and fellow sophomore Joanne lead are tied for seventh place after posting 75’s (+3).

The 54-hole tournament will resume on Tuesday, Oct. 6 with another round of 18. The tournament will wrap up with the final 18 holes on Wednesday, Oct. 7.

Live scoring is available through Golfstat.com.

Softball releases schedule:

BERKELEY – The California softball team announced its 2010 schedule, head coach Diane Ninemire announced recently. The Golden Bears are slated to play a total of 69 games, with a calendar that stretches from Feb. 12-May 15. Cal will play 37 teams, 12 of which advanced to the 2009 NCAA Tournament, including NCAA champion Washington.

“I think we’ve got a very competitive schedule,” Ninemire said. “In all of the tournaments that we’re playing in prior to Pac-10 play, we’re going against some really great opponents. I think this schedule will really test our abilities and definitely prepare us for the postseason.”

The Bears begin their season Feb. 12 with a five-game stint at the Arizona State Tournament in Tempe, Ariz. Three of Cal’s opponents in that tournament – Texas A&M, Kentucky and Portland State – went to the NCAA Tournament, but lost in Regional play. From there, the Bears make their first of two trips in 2010 to Las Vegas for the Louisville Slugger Desert Classic, which will be held from Feb. 19-21. Cal’s stiffest competition will most likely be Northwestern and Georgia Tech, which both advanced to the Super Regionals.

Cal will participate in the Palm Springs Classic, which is always known to draw talented teams. Cal will face off against Fordham, San Diego State, Oklahoma State, Colorado State and Long Beach State from Feb. 26-28 in Palm Springs, Calif. The Bears’ first home game is planned for March 3 against UC Davis at 2 p.m.

The Bears will spend March 5-7 in Las Vegas, marking their second trip, for the UNLV Tournament, where they will meet New Mexico State, Weber State, Portland State, Southern Utah and UNLV. Cal then returns to the Bay Area to host a tournament of its own from March 12-14. The Bears welcome East Carolina, Cal State Fullerton and UC Davis for a five-game tournament with Cal playing in three of those matches.

The duo will need to win three matches to become one of eight doubles teams to earn a berth in the doubles championship main draw.

Mens golf gets 12th:

GLENCOE, Ill. – The Golden Bears exited rugged weather conditions at Skokie Golf Club with a 12th-place finish Monday at the Windon Memorial as redshirt freshman James CorĂ© recorded California’s best round of the event, a 72, and was Cal’s best finisher in his first competition for the Bears with a 10-over tie for 22nd.

Junior Eric Mina suffered seven bogies en route to a final-round 77 and an overall finish of 12-over (T30), while classmate Stephen Hale ended two strokes behind Mina at 14-over (T42).

Junior Evan Derian pointed his return to tournament play back in the right direction in Monday’s final round with a 74 following a difficult second-round 84, and ended the event tied for 65th (+20). Freshman Curtis Loop finished in a tie for 74th at +24.

Overall, the Bears managed only 23 birdies against 93 bogies (including four double bogeys and one triple bogey), leaving them eager to get home and prepare for the Alister MacKenzie Invitational, which Cal hosts Oct. 12-13 at the Meadow Club in Fairfax.

“We just didn’t get it done. Was experience a factor? I don’t know,” said head coach Steve Desimone. “We did not putt or play the par-5s very well. It was disappointing because we had the firepower to handle it better than we did. Fortunately we can get back after it next week.”

My childhood!

Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Chairman Jay Rasulo confirmed an all-new “Star Tours” attraction and the largest expansion in the history of the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World.

“Storytelling is the DNA of Disney dreams and we’re always exploring new ways to tell new stories in new places,” Rasulo told a crowd at Disney’s D23 Expo at the Anaheim Convention Center in California.

Debuting at the Disneyland Resort and Disney’s Hollywood Studios in 2011, and based on the iconic Lucasfilm ‘Star Wars’ films, the new 3-D version of the popular “Star Tours” attraction will include immersive new elements that promise to take guests to many familiar places in the ‘Star Wars’ galaxy.

I'd be ok with a Bowden-esk career...

(minus the violations and vacated wins of course)

How many NC’s and Conference title did he win?

Didn’t he have a strangle hold on the ACC for like a decade?

And with that kind of coaching consistency, you can really build notoriety for a program… Not to mention if Tedford ended up in the Top 3 in the Wins category I would be pretty happy…

I’m ok with that analogy, whether or not is was analogous in intent…

EDSBS's Alphabetical has Cal at "G"

LINK

G is for Grendel. Cal got their arm ripped off and nailed to the Great Hall’s crossbeams for all to see in a 30-3 demolition by your usual collection of calm, collected, and calculating Trojans. This marks the sixth year in a row Cal has failed to turn the corner, buckled beneath the pressure of your Next Big Thing wager, and proven to be an 8-5 team with high-side variance up to the ten game level. The new wrinkle? New offensive coordinator Andy Ludwig’s amazing ability to make a 5’ 10" 195 pound rocket disappear. Jahvid Best’s line against USC: 14 carries, 47 yards, and zero TDs.

Opened it back up—Cal, UCLA, Nebraska are his top 3.

Neither Owa or Gabe King enjoyed their trips, although I can’t confirm that.

The idiot sports editor of The Sacramento Bee published a column on the front page of today’s sports section calling for the firing of Jeff Tedford.

http://www.sacbee.com/629/story/2233536.html

This guy is a terrible sports editor. I had an e-mail exchange with him last year about the lack of coverage of Cal basketball, and he told me that people in Sacramento aren’t interested in college sports, citing low attendance at Sac State games.(!) And he told me that The Bee can’t afford to send reporters to Berkeley. I pointed out that there is a happy medium in coverage between sending a reporter to Berkeley and printing a total of two sentences out of an AP story. Maybe he could print the whole AP story, or even half of it? He didn’t respond to that.

If anyone feels inclined to leave a comment in response to this column, I would appreciate it. It might convince The Bee that there are people in the Central Valley who are interested in Cal sports.

I’m trying to think of a coach that doesn’t frustrate the fanbase at least once a season. I really am. Urban Meyer? Maybe?

Also, I’m glad that CGB doesn’t have a set amount of posts/day or whatever, so if I don’t have anything interesting/intelligent to say, I don’t have to write some filler article consisting of some poorly-thought-out opinion.

One of the commenters on the Bee’s site made a really good analogy. A few years ago there was lots of agitation in Sacramento for a new head coach for the Kings. People complained that Rick Adelman never got the Kings to the NBA finals. So he was fired. Since then, the Kings have had three coaches in three years, and have gone from being a pretty good team to being the worst team in the NBA. Now there’s a lot of regret over here about firing Adelman.

Tedford and Leadership

A couple years back, when I attended the Fantasy Camp at Memorial, I had the chance to talk to Tedford 1:1 for a few minutes. Being a Haas alumni, I thought to ask him about access to some of the top academic experts on themes like leadership, running organizations, and organizational behavior. I know that coaching a football team is different than running a Fortune 500 company, but there have to be many parallels, and there have to be many examples or aspects of those themes that can be adapted or adopted to leading a football team.

Tedford’s answer was no, that he had never tapped into the resources at Haas, and I inferred from the rest of his response that it was not something he was interested in considering. That disappointed me greatly, because Haas and those subject matter experts are literally across the street from his office.

At CGB, we whine because we care

That's disappointing to hear.

I worked for the Coach K Center of Leadership and Ethics at Duke’s Fuqua School of Business. It was a new center, but Coach K and the profs definitely understood the similarities in biz/sports/armed forces leadership and tried to get all the best from those fields involved in curriculum development.

That’s awesome, I didn’t realize Fuqua had a program like that. My wife is considering MBA programs, maybe she should take a closer look at Duke. Even though leadership isn’t really her thing (she prefers to get experience by “coaching” me to do things like the dishes, laundry, trash, etc).

At CGB, we whine because we care

She should totes look into Fuqua

Fuqua is a great school and they also have a great CSR dept too (I think started by the guy from Stanford, but who’s name escapes me). However, a lot of the students have that sense of entitlement and conservative values that tends to rub a liberal blue collar type like me the wrong way sometimes.

Living in Durham wasn’t too bad. Chapel Hill is right next to it too, which is fun.

Oh, ZOMG and the women there! Wow. Your wife prolly isn’t too into that fact, but Carp would be a happy camper. The women are beautiful and looking for a man. AND the UNC ones have that hellasexy southern accent. Only place I’ve ever gone out to a bar to have girls come give me their number unprovoked. Too bad I was out there with my gf at the time.

Maybe he didn’t want to deal with Haas attitude? Or maybe he wanted to avoid the vaunted Haas sense of entitlement?

Or maybe he didn’t like being told how to run his team. Can’t imagine. Because, you know, Tedford surely doesn’t realize the resources he has right there on campus – it’s not like he’s been here for 8 years, or has any experience doing this ‘coaching’ thing, or perhaps has access to other coaches with different styles who might have brought up something similar to him in the past. If only he would take the time to open his eyes and look across the street…

Billy Beane : Closet A's fan?

From the SBNation interview:

Bleszinski: I’ve got to ask you a painful question. What happened to your beloved USC earlier this year?

Beane: Oh man. They got through the tough one in Ohio State but they got spanked up in Washington. It just shows the power of the Pac-10. But seriously, they’ve been crushed with injuries. USC had a terrible accident with their running back yesterday. They’re very young. You’ve got a true freshman starting as a quarterback so their best days are ahead of them.

Bleszinski: Are they overrated?

Beane: I’m certainly not an expert, I’m just a fan. But when you lose your speediest wide receiver, you lose a defensive lineman, you lose one of your best running backs, they’re having to do some patchwork very early on with a young team. They’ve got a tough schedule too. I still have faith in them, though I do root for Cal too. Remember with USC the expectation level is so absurdly high that I think Carroll has finished in the top five seven years in a row. In a business where you are rarely allowed to lose one game, that is remarkable. They sit there at 3-1 right now with a young team and have beaten Ohio State on the road. They have created such a high level of expectations that unless they run the table and no one scores on them, someone is going to be disappointed which is really a credit to the program.
