Big Game Weekend Morning Thread


IT'S BIG GAME MORNING GOLDEN BEARS! Mike Tepper says all that needs to be said.

Before we get to the games on tap, let's talk about how awesome our professors can be for teaching through fire alarms (the answer is no, because no one at the Furd would ever protest anything unless it was ironic. It's confusing why Twist never transferred there). All hail Professor Tse for finishing his lecture on the Evans Hall exterior!


Here are the side dishes first. Schedule for the morning's after the jump!

Star-divide

7 AM PST/10 AM EST
College Gameday from Tucson:  They're just making sure they go to all the Pac-10 schools before ending up in Berkeley one day.

9 AM PST/noon EST

Ohio State at Michigan, ABC HD: Rich Rod probably isn't fighting for his job, but the Harbaugh love machine is rolling. Something for Cal fans to keep their eyes on.

Harvard at Yale, Versus: The only rivalry game nerdier than ours. This actually might be the best game of the morning.

Chattanooga at Alabama, SEC TV/CSN California: There should be a rule that you lose a spot in the rankings for scheduling a game like this so late.

Minnesota at Iowa, ESPN HD: The fate of another Big 10 BCS at-large bid (Fiesta?) hangs on Adam Weber's arm. Oh God.

North Carolina at Boston College, ESPN2 HD: Battle for the Meineke Car Care Bowl?

Duke at Miami, ESPNU: Cutcliffe's running out of opportunities to take the the Blue Devisl

9:30 AM/12:30 PM EST

Oklahoma at Texas Tech, FSN HD/CSN Bay Area: Last year this was the Big 12 title game. Now...winner goes to the Alamo Bowl? How times have changed.

Stream?

Will anyone be streaming this game? Not sure if this will even be on channelsurfing.net. A ustream/justin.tv stream would be great. Can’t believe abc/espn isn’t even showing this game. Come on, two ranked teams, big rivalry, both 7-3 overall. Instead we get to watch Kansas St. 6-5 (4-3) and Nebraska 7-3 (4-2). I understand that game would decide the Big12 North, but what’s the point when either team will lose to the Big12 South division champion.

There will definitely be something up by gametime. We’ll post the links once they’re found

I think Cal’s ranked 25th in the BCS standings, though probably not in the AP or other human polls.

Is that 5 Pac10 teams in the BCS rankings? Hot damn.

I evacuated 3 times due to fire alarms yesterday

First in Doe Library in the morning, at the height of the protests. Someone probably pulled it because they were going off in buildings all across campus. My next class was canceled because of that.

Second in my dorm in the evening, someone reportedly pulled it. The RA told us to tell the police officer if we had seen who did it, so I guess another protester did it again. At this time the protesters were still in Wheeler, I think.

Third at a party last night… ended my night prematurely but I was pretty “satisfied” already.

Now to go back home and then head over to the Farm for the game. GO BEARS!

I had this terrible dream last night that we got blown out. I pretty much never dream of football games, so that was a pretty new experience. I… hope I never have that dream again.

by Mister Pie on Nov 21, 2009 8:16 AM PST reply actions   0 recs

That's funny...

My dream last night was about….

Giant Alligators that were swimming in the Merced River in Yosemite Valley.

OK, maybe that’s not so funny…or relevant…but their heads were the size of small car. I couldn’t believe we were about to go swimming.

Offensive Struggles

I know he’s their best player on offense and everything, but they can’t even score a touchdown from inside the two after running a few plays. They’re averaging 1.5 yards per rush and 3.4 yards per pass today.
