Personally, I am a fan of any argument based on the "it's those darned teenagers playing on them Internets all the time, learning how to subvert justice from watching them movies" premise. Go Bears.

The "c'mon, my client can't possibly be THAT smart" defense
[Defense lawyer] Mr. Reuland acknowledges that, in principle, anyone who knew Mr. Bradford’s username and password could have typed the Facebook update, but he regards it as unlikely in this case.
"This implies a level of criminal genius that you would not expect from a young boy like this; he is not Dr. Evil," Mr. Reuland said, adding that the Facebook entry was just "the icing on the cake," since his client had the other alibis.
Praise be to Tedford!

Summers-Gavin back, Hill doubtful, Miller out
Hill has missed the past two games with a stinger, but Tedford said Wednesday that Hill looked good during strength and agility drills.
But after being further evaluated by Cal’s medical staff tonight, it appears Hill didn’t do enough to make the doctors feel comfortable about him playing.
Hill is out for the game unless something were to change between now and Saturday.

Gregory talks about Arizona's offense
On what Arizona’s offense presents
I think overall they have the best group of receivers. They spread you out, which we’ve struggled with a little bit. They kind of have two offenses. They have the spread, one-back deal and four wide receivers, then they get into two tight ends, power football. They keep you off balance a little bit by having two different offenses. You’re usually one or the other. These guys do a good job of doing both.

Wilner's best case/worst case
Best case: The Bears run the table and finish 9-3/6-3.
There might be a way for the Bears to win the Pac-10, but it’s just this side of impossible. (And if Oregon beats ASU, forget it.)
So back to reality … I know, I know: running the table doesn’t seem like reality, but work with me here, Blues …
The Bears would have a slim shot at the Holiday, but the Sun would be much more likely. And since Cal has never played in the Sun Bowl, I’m sure the folks in El Paso would be happy to extend an invite.
Cal could also land in the Sun if it finishes No. 4, one game behind Oregon State. The bowl has a no-repeat rule that allows it to pass on the No. 3 team if it participated the previous year, which OSU did.
(One of the Oregon schools has been to the Sun for three consecutive years.)
The Bears lose out and finish 6-6/3-6.
Even though they’d be bowl-eligible, the could get squeezed out of a Pac-10-affiliated game by UCLA (4-5/1-5) if the Bruins finish with a better overall record and/or a better conference record than the Bears.
In that case, the Bruins would take the Poinsettia Bowl slot and Cal would become a 6-6 free agent, with a very good chance of landing in a middle-of-nowhere bowl.

CMU had trouble with Arizona and BC, but they are all cocky now with their 6-0 MAC record including a homecoming DOMINATION of EMU 56-8 (…EMU had the balls to go for 2 when down 49-0, a much fiercer fighting squad than the scoreboard or their winless MAC record might indicate!). CMU now has big games with Ball State and Northern Illinois, and then possibly Northern Illinois again (championship game!) the week following! I’d love to take on those savage Chippewas in Toronto and show them their loss to the Wildcats was no fluke!

Kawahara writes the Bears need their focus on establishing the run
The Wildcats are one of only two teams in the conference giving up less than 100 yards per game on the ground.
That means the Bears need to shore some things up in the running game this weekend if they want to regain the form they showed in the first half of the season.
"I think one of the things that we need to improve in is just finishing blocks," Cal coach Jeff Tedford said. "Very important that we’re able to finish things, sustain blocks, so that the backs have time to get through and make their plays."
Fullback Brian Holley agreed that, when the Bears haven’t run the ball well, it has been largely a result of "little mistakes" on their part.
"To me, it comes down to a lack of focus and poise under pressure," Holley said. "There’s a lot of things that happen out there during a football game, and you need to be a lot more disciplined, remember your techniques and stuff like that."

(from the same article)
On the field, what needs to happen is a revitalization of the Cal running game, which went as silent as the stadium when Best was driven away after that frightening injury.
No doubt shaken by the incident, the Bears finished that game with a season-low 39 yards on the ground, one week after setting a then-season low against Arizona State with 57 rushing yards. Through its first seven games, Cal averaged 216 rushing yards per game.
That’s a disturbing downward trend for the Bears with No. 18 Arizona bringing its stout rushing defense into Memorial Stadium on Saturday at 4 p.m. The Wildcats are one of only two teams in the conference giving up less than 100 yards per game on the ground.
That means the Bears need to shore some things up in the running game this weekend if they want to regain the form they showed in the first half of the season.

Maybe Deboskie will give us something at the RB position, going up against a team from his home state. I’ve liked what I’ve seen from Debo’s limited opportunities this year, but now the quality of competition is dialed up a notch.

I think he can. I meant that this year, he’s referred to as ‘better than a backup, equivalent to Best but not technically a starter.’ I.e., he’s not 2nd string, he’s 1.5 string.

I really hope Yarnway, Debo, and Sofele pan out and offer nice alternatives to Vereen. Could be fun with Yarnway breakin’ fools off up in the middle, Sofele out running everyone at the edges, and Debo/Vereen doing whatever the hell they want.

Win one for Jahvid!
The motto was put forward amid Saturday night’s setback.
The maxim was cheered amid Saturday night’s sorrows.
Do it for Jahvid.
Cal should do it for Jahvid, not only to prove it is capable of beating Arizona without him, but also to give him the win he didn’t get after he crashed into the end zone last weekend.
"The talk was, ’Let’s go finish this for Jahvid,’" linebacker Mike Mohamed said after Best sustained a concussion during the loss to Oregon State. "Unfortunately, it didn’t work out the way we wanted it to."
The Bears should do it for Jahvid, not only to prove to their talented tailback that not all is lost for their season, but also to show him that not all is lost of their heart.
That’s what Jahvid would do.

I would love for them to win it for Jahvid! I would love for the team to get hyped up and use up some of that nervous energy they’ve been sitting on for the past week. BUT this team seems to have a lot of fundamental problems which more energy won’t magically fix. (those problems were very well laid out in your post Avinash: Roll On)
I hope the team doesn’t get too frustrated when they put their whole heart in the game but are still plagued by the same problems.

Heads up, Bay Area - CalTrans is tired of asking you to slow down.
Lane Closures To Slow Bay Bridge Traffic
Caltrans, working together with the CHP has decided to slow traffic down across the new S-curve on the Bay Bridge, by closing one to two lanes of the Bay Bridge’s upper and lower decks during off-peak hours.
The lane closures are intended to warn and slow vehicles approaching the S-curve to the posted 35 MPH speed.
CHP officers will also be on duty enforcing the speed limits on the bridge.
Caltrans officials say this won’t cause any traffic jams because the lanes will only be closed during off-peak hours.

Womens Soccer to take on Auburn:
Bears Earn NCAA Tournament Selection
The California women’s soccer team received an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament’s 64-team field. The Golden Bears (10-8-1 overall, 4-5-0 Pac-10) will take on Auburn (10-8-3, 6-5-0) in the first round of the tournament on Nov. 13 at 4 p.m. PST at the Seminole Soccer Complex in Tallahassee, Fla. The Cal-Auburn game will begin after a 30-minute warm-up following the conclusion of the No. 1-seed and host Florida State-Southeastern Louisiana game, no earlier than 4 p.m. PST. The winner of the FSU-Southeastern Louisiana game will play the winner of the Cal-Auburn match-up on Sunday, Nov. 15 at 10 a.m. PST in Tallahassee, Fla.
Bears’ NCAA History
This year’s selection is Cal’s 17th playoff bid, the 11th in the last 12 years and the sixth straight. Cal advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament in 2007. The Bears defeated Santa Clara, 2-0, in the first round. Cal tied Stanford, 1-1, in the second round, but the Cardinal advanced to the third round by winning the penalty kick shootout, 7-6. In 2005, Cal advanced to the third round of NCAAs for the first time since 1988. The Bears’ best NCAA Tournament performances were semifinal appearances in 1984, ’87 and ’88.
Last Year in the NCAA Tournament
In 2008, Cal received an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament for the program’s 10th trip to the Big Dance in the past 11 years. The Bears traveled to Gainesville, Fla., to take on the No. 7 Gators. Even though they put up a very strong showing, outshooting Florida, 14-8, the Bears lost, 2-1. Freshman Natasha Richardson scored her first goal of the season and her Bear career for California’s lone goal.

Swimming gets new recruits!
BERKELEY – California, the defending NCAA and Pac-10 champion, signed a talented and diverse group of seven swimmers and one diver to National Letters of Intent, Cal head coach Teri McKeever and Cal diving coach Ben Herdt announced on Thursday. The swimmers include two Golden Bears – Samantha Shellem (La Verne, Calif./Lutheran High School) and Deborah Roth (Corte Madera, Calif./Redwood High School) – who recently competed with the U.S. youth national team and one Bear – Stephanie Au (Hong Kong, China/Sacred Heart Canossian School) – who was a 2008 Olympic teammate of Cal sophomore Hannah Wilson.
McKeever’s recruits include Melissa Bates (Tustin, Calif./Mater Dei High School), Kearsten Livingstone (Canyon Country, Calif./Canyon High School), Mikkel-Ane Stipe (Oceanside, Calif./La Costa Canyon High School) and Cindy Tran (Westminster, Calif./Edison High School). Herdt signed diver Lena Kardos (Aliso Viejo, Calif./Laguna Beach High School).
“I am thrilled to announce this group of young women and I am excited that they have decided to join us,” McKeever said. “Each of them is a talented student-athlete that was looking for a combination of world-class education and athletic experience. [Cal assistant coach] Kristen Cunnane, the team and I worked hard to find women that are the right fit for Cal and our swim program. This group is excited to carry forward the rich tradition of personal growth and athletic excellence.”
Seven of the eight new Bears, other than Au, hail from the state of California.
Cal’s incoming class possesses strong freestylers in Au, Shellem and Stipe and versatility in Tran (backstroke/butterfly/freestyle), Bates (breaststroke/sprint free/individual medley), Roth (backstroke/freestyle) and Livingstone (fly/back).

Softball gets 4 new recruits and I suggest carp not click on this link with his wife anywhere near by:
BERKELEY – The California softball program has signed four incoming freshmen to National Letters of Intent, head coach Diane Ninemire announced Thursday. Ashley Decker (Reno, Nev./Spanish Springs High School), Arianna Erceg (Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif./Palos Verdes HS), Victoria Jones (Oceanside, Calif./Vista High School) and Alex Robben (Napa, Calif./Napa High School) have all signed NLIs and will join the Golden Bears in fall of 2010.
“This is an outstanding recruiting class,” Ninemire said. “These four players have all come from winning programs with winning traditions. This talented class will be an asset to our program from the get go.”
Hailing from Reno, Nev., Ashley Decker will join the Bears as a second baseman/outfielder. The 5-5 player has been to ASA nationals six times and has won multiple national qualifier tournaments with her travel teams. A standout prepster, Decker has led her league in hitting for the past three years – boasting an above .600 batting average – and was selected first-team all-state in each of her first three years of play at Spanish Springs High School. On pace to break the Nevada state high school career batting average, Decker was the 2009 High Desert League player of the year and has led her squad to two state championships. Decker, who played in the Under Armor All-American All-Star Game in 2008, which aired on ESPN, says that Cal is the school of her dreams for its location, education and the team’s success. Decker also played on the Spanish Springs High School volleyball team as a freshman.

Vereen and Deboskie talk about hurdling
As those of us who watched Russell White vs. Purdue in 1991 know, it used to be illegal.
Interesting quote from Deboskie:
Covaughn DeBoskie-Johnson, who will split time with Vereen at tailback Saturday against Arizona, learned all about the hazards of hurdling during his sophomore year in high school.
“I tried to jump over somebody, and he went up,” DeBoskie-Johnson said. “I did a complete flip. I saw the sky and the ground. My feet hit the ground when I fell, but I did a complete 360. That was one of the scariest moments of my life.”
Interesting because of this awesome play three weeks ago.

1 game away, 2 @ home.. it’s up in fanshot on the mainpage. ragnarok surmised that Nevada won’t be in Berkeley til 2012 and 2013 because they have a full schedule in 2011.
Nevada could have a really strong team next year, and I’m not counting them out of a win in Boise this year… they’ve dominated other WAC opponents, and Boise has kept it close against some inferior teams

It’s not necessarily sleazy…to a lot of people offering to buy a girl a drink is a social convention, just like the guy always paying on the first date or whatever. It is a waste of money if your objective is to get laid; that doesn’t mean it’s necessarily sleazy. Depends on the context.

Take notes boys:
1) Play sports in college and have motivation for a career after sports.
2) Try not to stare at other chicks when she’s with you. At least until year 7 or so. If she catches you, deny it or blame it on your biological clock.
3) Sweep her off her feet. This includes foot rubs, neck rubs, wine tasting even though her white wine tastes like acid, weekend vacations to non-dirtbag inns/hotels, etc.
4) Don’t drink too much. This goes hand in hand with Whiskey Dick.
5) Give her space to grow in her career and with her friends. Encourage girls night out. Trust her on wild bachelorette weekends. Go to those stupid double double dates and be very nice to your partner and funny as hell. Pick up the check.
6) Don’t treat her like a piece of ass.
7) Never take off your wedding ring. It’s disrespectful, imo.
8) Make her dinner
9) Get to know her family even if they’re weirdos.
10) Don’t let your parents give you relationship advice.
11) Stand by your partner at all costs. Never quit even if you know you’ll fail.
12) Try and be a Man. This includes chasing down punk kids with a baseball bat, helping elderly people onto the train, attempting to install plumbing, etc.
That should suffice for now. I don’t want to throw too much at you guys.

Freshman year: Unit 1 Cheney triple. Technically it’s a double with an extra bed and desk. One roommate is nocturnal (though he’s a nice guy) and the other had… issues. He was gay and loved to watch porn. Unfortunately his computer faced me :(. That and he’d talk to his 40year old boyfriend every day.
Soph year: A double suite with our own bathroom was awesome. My drug dealing, pedophile roommate was not.
Junior year: Rented an apartment with three people. Two of them cool people. The third..? Dishonorably discharged from navy, drug addict, etc etc

All the “triples” in Units 1-3 were doubles with extra beds and desks IIRC.

Should you reach a point in life where you might be interested in settling down, you’ll discover that 1) it’s no mean feat finding someone willing to put up with your ass because you are annoying on a long term basis (we all are), and 2) there’s an element of luck in deciding when it’s time to stop looking for someone “better” because you’re not going to find her.
by DC Trojan on Nov 13, 2009 1:04 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
In what sense? You mean in regard to question 2? If so, it’s not a question of optimism, it’s a question of figuring out what matters to you. I really hit it off (in a platonic sense) with a very attractive co-worker several years after I got married, but “new” and “cute” don’t override “disastrous differences in religious opinions” and “married for a reason in the first place.”
I didn’t specifically know that I was looking for my wife, and I’m sure I could have ended up happily hitched to someone else. But having got it right once, I don’t see the need to try again.

Entire NBA to Retire #23?
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=4650907
“I just think what Michael Jordan has done for the game has to be recognized some way soon,” James said. "There would be no LeBron James, no Kobe Bryant, no Dwyane Wade if there wasn’t Michael Jordan first.
“He can’t get the logo [Hall of Famer Jerry West’s silhouette adorns the NBA’s logo], and if he can’t, something has to be done. I feel like no NBA player should wear 23. I’m starting a petition, and I’ve got to get everyone in the NBA to sign it. Now, if I’m not going to wear No. 23, then nobody else should be able to wear it.”
I’m a huge Bulls fan, therefore a Jordan fan, but I don’t think the entire NBA should retire the number. There have been numerous great basketball players in history (Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Magic, Bird, etc.) as well as tragic stories (Len Bias, Drazen Petrovic…) and although Jordan did revolutionize the sport in a way these other players didn’t, it was a function of the right person at the right time. To solely honor Jordan’s contribution to basketball, without honoring the other players before him, seems a bit foolish. Furthermore, from an NBA standpoint, it might be better to highlight and prove there is more to the NBA than Jordan, rather than constantly highlight the one shining moment that was Jordan. I fully recognize, this was not initiated by the NBA.

That list is silly; it’s basically just this year’s Pac-10 standings. Stoops has one good year and Tedford has one off year, and suddenly Stoops is supposed to be a way better coach…?

To be fair, Mike Riley should be ranked #2 in conference for what he’s done and what he does.
Sure, he choked away an opportunity to win the Pac 10 last year and his teams struggle early on, but beating Cal three years in a row, USC two years out of three and giving them fits the rest of the time? It’s impressive.

I agree, Riley does not get enough credit. I’ve said this before multiple times on CGB, but since 2002 Oregon State’s record is pretty much on par with Cal and Oregon’s for that imaginary “#2” spot in the Pac-10.

I think it’s been a consensus since last year that Mike Riley is considered the 2nd best coach in teh Pac-10.

agreed
And I don’t understand why they still have Carroll at the top at this point. Right now I’d say Riley, Kelly and Jimbo are the best coaches this year.

Is it based on a year-to-year or overall?
Cause, you know, USC is having a down year, but Carroll has been phenomenal otherwise.

I mean, I’ve watched these teams all year. This is how I’d break down the teams in terms of sheer physical talent (by simple # of good athletes):
1. USC
2. Oregon
3. Oregon State
4. UCLA
5. Arizona
6. Cal
7. Stanford (they could be as high as 3 though with that OL)
8. ASU
9. Washington
1000. Wazzu
You can glean what I think of under- and outperformance based on that.
