DBD 12.16.09 Eh, The Wall would have intercepted Kevin Craft, anyway

PrintNobody likes you Kevin Craft. You should go eat some worms. I mean it's redick how much people don't like Kevin Craft. You'd think even his own teammates would like him. You'd be wrong.
Recently, some of the UCLA players decided to carry on a UCLA football tradition where they all climb over a wall and ditch practice:
The UCLA players decided not to practice today. They didn't tell anyone. Certainly not the coaches.
They jumped over the wall on the side of Spaulding Field and took off.
So, no practice update today.
Even Neuheisal used to do it as a player:
On the history of The Wall:
"This happened many years ago. Kenny Easley led the group over the wall, and it was a good thing. I enjoyed it more as a player than as a coach, though, I'll be honest with you. There's no question about that. Sometimes coaches forget what it was like as a player. I try not to do that."
So, Neuheezy was less than pleased, they kept on a tradition and UCLA has another 3 weeks to practice before their EagleBank Bowl. No harm, no foul, right?
Not all players seemed on board with the plan. Asked if he was aware of the plan, senior quarterback Kevin Craft said, “no," tersely.
He's so sad! Nobody loves him! The entire fucking team went to go hang out at Pinkberry and kept it a total secret from Craft. While they were chugging down pineapple with 2 toppings and talking mad shit about how Brian Price only tore the head off of 3 chickens yesterday, he was stuck there throwing balls to Neuhizzle and holding back tears.
I'm sorry, Kevin! I'd invite you to my ditch practice party! Except everybody ditched my ditch practice party. So, it's just me and HydroTech discussing how awesome Nate Longshore is. I better go eat some worms!
SydQuan named 3rd team All-American by Sporting News;
BERKELEY - Cal senior cornerback Syd'Quan Thompson was selected a third-team All-American by Sporting News on Tuesday. The honor was Thompson's second postseason national honor from the organization as he was also named to its 2006 All-Freshman squad.
The two-time first-team All-Pac-10 selection started all 12 contests this season to run his streak of starts to all 51 games possible over his four-year Golden Bear career. He regularly draws the assignment on opponents' top receivers and contributed 47 tackles, 4.0 TFL, one interception and a team-high eight pass breakups this season. Thompson is also Cal's active career leader in tackles (254), interceptions (7), passes defended (41) and pass breakups (34, No. 2 all-time at Cal).
Cal finished the 2009 regular season with an 8-4 overall record and a 5-4 Pac-10 mark to finish tied for fifth in the league standings. The Golden Bears will play Utah (9-3, 6-2 MWC) in the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego on Dec. 23 (5:00 p.m. PT). The Utes are ranked No. 23 in the final regular-season AP Top 25 and BCS Standings, as well as No. 24 by USA Today. Cal is unranked. The game will be televised live on ESPN.

Dude, were facing Utah:
Cal/Utah Outlook
Cal heads into its seventh consecutive bowl game with five victories in its final seven regular-season games. The Golden Bears finished 8-4 overall and 5-4 in the Pac-10 to tie for fifth place in the conference. Cal had an opportunity to finish tied for second with a victory in their final regular-season game at Washington but suffered a 42-10 loss.
In their previous two outings Nov. 14 and Nov. 21, the Bears posted wins over ranked opponents in their home finale vs. Arizona and in the 112th Big Game at Stanford – marking the first time the Golden Bears had accomplished the feat in consecutive weeks in 59 years since home wins over Washington and UCLA on Nov. 11 and 18, 1950. After falling to Oregon State at home on Nov. 14, the Bears rebounded with a hard-fought 24-16 victory over Arizona (then No. 17 BCS/No. 18 AP, No. 19 USA Today) in their final home game of the season. The Bears then knocked off the Cardinal (then No. 14 AP/No. 17 USA Today/No. 17 BCS) by a 34-28 count. Arizona and Stanford ended up finishing in a second-place tie (along with Oregon State) in the final Pac-10 standings. Both had three-game win streaks ended by the Bears and were leading the Pac-10 in total offense coming into their games against Cal but were limited to an average of 306.0 yards per game by the Bears’ defense.
Utah was still in contention for the Mountain West Conference title in mid-November. The Utes won their first five league games before falling in road games at TCU and BYU – a pair of teams that finished No. 4 and No. 14 in the final regular-season BCS Standings, respectively. The Utes only other defeat was at Rose Bowl-bound Oregon, which is currently the nation’s No. 7 BCS team. Utah finished the 2009 regular season 9-3 overall and 6-2 in the MWC for a third-place showing. Last season, Utah posted a perfect 13-0 record and a Sugar Bowl victory over Alabama to rank No. 2 in the final AP ranking and No. 4 by USA Today.
Cal-Utah Series Notes
Cal holds a 4-2-0 series lead over Utah in the six games played between the schools. The teams have played just twice in the last 45 years. Utah was a 31-24 winner the last time the teams played in Salt Lake on Sept. 11, 2003. Three seasons earlier, the Bears scratched out a 24-21 victory on Sept. 9, 2000. During the 2003 matchup, the primary quarterbacks were Aaron Rodgers (Cal) and Alex Smith (Utah), both of whom became first-round NFL Draft picks in 2005. Rodgers was 15-of-25 for 224 yards and two touchdowns while rushing eight times for 28 yards. Smith was 18-of-27 for 136 yards, in addition to rushing 12 times for 71 yards and a score. This will be the first postseason meeting between the two clubs.

Womens BBall takes on Long Beach State:
The California Golden Bears (4-4) end an 11-day break with a game Monday, Dec. 21 at Long Beach State, taking on the 49ers (3-7) at 5 p.m. at the Walter Pyramid.
Head Coach Joanne Boyle will again try for her 100th career win as the Cal head coach. With a victory, Boyle will become just the second head coach in Cal history to achieve triple-digit wins with the Bears. She comes into the game with a Cal career mark of 99-39. Her overall career record is 166-68, including her three seasons as the head coach of the Richmond Spiders.
Long Beach State comes into the game looking to snap a four-game losing streak, including a pair of losses to Pac-10 teams. They lost 83-77 at home against USC and 102-70 at Oregon.
Cal is also looking to return to the victory column after dropping two straight games. The Bears have not lost three games in a row with Joanne Boyle as their head coach. The last time Cal lost three game is a row was the later portion of the 2004-05 season when they dropped back-to-back-to-back contests against Stanford, UCLA, and USC. The last time they lost three non-conference games in a row was earlier that season at the Rainbow Wahine Classic where they went 0-3 against TCU, Idaho, and Hawaii.

you do recall correctly…. officially they are the 49ers.
they have gone by the Dirtbags since the late 1980s. The home field-less team would practice at a nearby all-dirt field and return all covered in, you guessed it, dirt.

Women’s Soccer players receive honor:
BERKELEY – Four members of the California women’s soccer team were named to the All-Pacific Region Team by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America, it was announced Tuesday. Junior forward Alex Morgan was placed on the second team while senior defender Brianna Bak, senior midfielder Katie Oakes and sophomore midfielder Katrin Omarsdottir were named to the third team.
Morgan is currently with the U.S. senior national team at training camp, marking her first call-up to the national squad. Thanks to Morgan’s team-leading 14 scores this season, Morgan now has 31 career goals, and is now tied for fourth place all-time with Erika Hinton for career goals. With 36 points accumulated this year, she now stands in fifth place with 41-career points, just fourth points shy of tying for third.
Bak, a four-year letterwinner, has been a stalwart defender on Cal’s backline and was co-captain with Oakes this season. Bak scored her lone goal of the season in the 22nd minute against Texas, jumpstarting the Bear offense to a 4-2 victory.
Oakes started 19 of the 19 games in which she played. Oakes scored thrice in 2009, two scores coming off of successful corner kicks. Oakes, who was a key member of Cal’s midfield in her four years as a Bear, also had two assists and was co-captain with Bak this season.

My only problem with Smart Alec’s garlic fries is that they seem to dump all the garlic on the top of the fries without really mixing them in. While it doesn’t take a whole lot of effort to stir them around, I’m lazier than a pineapple.

Have you every listened to David Sedaris? Believe it or not, he has a hilarious story that features Zwarte Piet.
November 20, 1982 - a date that will live in famy.
I haven’t heard that one. The first story I heard from him was the one about his brother that was called something like “you can’t kill the rooster” and it was so hilarious the other ones in the book were a little less funny.
I’d be interested to hear this Zwarte Piet one though.
It’s on his “Live at Carnegie Hall” CD. It’s called “Six to Eight Black Men.”
The book with “you can’t kill the rooster” is actually my least favorite. If you haven’t heard Santa Land Diaries (from Holidays on Ice) and all of Me Talk Pretty One Day, you’re missing out.

If you want a good cheesesteak, you gotta go to The Cheese Steak Shop. It’s on University Ave at 10th St, one block west of San Pablo. They ship in their bread from Philly, from the same place that makes bread for the shops back East. The Cheesesteaks are awesome. I’m lucky that’s it’s just a few blocks from where I live. That’s where you gotta go.

Also, to get there from the Units is really easy. Just catch the 51 on Bancroft Ave, and it’ll take you all the way down University Ave. Get off at San Pablo and walk a block to the shop.

NBA Decade Awards from SI
BEST FRANCHISE: Lakers
As mentioned above, they won four championships and went to the Finals another two times. Though it seemed an eternity to Kobe, GM Mitch Kupchak spent a relatively quick three years to rebuild a new finalist roster after Shaquille O’Neal was moved to Miami in 2004.
WORST FRANCHISE: Golden State Warriors
While the Clippers and Warriors each missed the playoffs nine times out of 10, this award goes to the Warriors on style points. They burned through six coaches, culminating with the decision to hire Don Nelson, who underwent meltdowns with several players after appearing to play a role in the ouster of his GM and friend, Chris Mullin. The shame of Golden State’s decade was that it built several promising teams only to see each one self-destruct — including the inspired No. 8 seed that knocked off the No. 1 Mavericks in the first round of the 2007 playoffs. The Warriors had an energized fan base and a big-spending owner in Chris Cohan, which only made the endless dysfunctionality all the more bitter.

SIGNATURE PLAY: Robert Horry’s buzzer-beating three-pointer to beat the Kings in Game 4 of the 2002 Western Conference finals in Los Angeles
Trying to protect a two-point lead with two seconds left, Kings center Vlade Divac batted a loose ball far away from his basket — but the ball went straight to Horry, who drilled a three over Chris Webber at the buzzer. The shot completed a 24-point Lakers comeback and evened the series at 2-2, enabling the Lakers to ultimately win in seven games. "It’s the luckiest thing I’ve ever seen in my life,‘’ Kings forward Hedo Turkoglu said. "The whole game [Horry] was going for offensive boards, but at that moment he was waiting right there.’’ Four times in this decade Horry would make last-minute threes to win playoff games that would contribute to three championships with the Lakers and Spurs.

Pink Floyd: over-rated?
"We lose to Stanford in many sports, but if you want to make a Cal team quit, bring a weapon."

eh. Animals, Wish You Were Here, Dark Side of the Moon and especially Piper at the Gates of Dawn (Syd’s only album) are pretty incredible. I don’t like the Wall as much as everyone else seems to, and while I have a soft spot for Momentary Lapse of Reason, I think anything post 1978 is pretty eh.
Also, I think they get too much press for Syd’s craziness and then the subsequent Gilmour/Rogers feud.
But their first 4 albums I’ll stack up against almost any band.
Fair enough, they’re not as bad as The Doors.
I should say that I appreciate Classic Rock more than any other genre.

y’know…it’s under the umbrella of “what works for you.” If The Doors and PF does it for you, all power to you.
I personally change the channel whether those bands come on The Eagle, The Band, or The Bone. Yes, I said it.
Before I divulge my fav’s, I think it’s a good time for me to say that my personal taste is, in part, due to my father’s love for classic rock. Now, I’m not saying he changes the channel when The Doors or PF comes on, but he definitely doesn’t fill his garage with the stupid fucking pink floyd prism poster. As I’ll divulge in a moment, I love the Stones and The Who, in part because my dad and I went to their concerts at an impressionable young age.
I’d say I appreciate music I can rock out to, like the Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Led Zeppelin (tho I’m not as fanatical as most), ZZ Top, The Cream, Almond Brothers, The Who, etc.

this combined with a complete lack of knowledge about said band. If you’re going the poster route, I feel it’s necessary to know all band members and be able to cite a catchy tune that does not end up on the radio. I leave the enforcer role of this policy to the guy behind the counter at Virgin.

To be honest, I always thought Cream were a bit dull. Technically impressive, but not with that extra something to make them stand out over and above peer bands at the time.
one has to be in the right mood for Clapton/Cream. It’s not an anytime-anyplace kind of band.

Raiders Agree To Terms With J.P. Losman
Free-agent quarterback J.P. Losman has agreed to terms with the Raiders, NFL Network’s Michael Lombardi has confirmed.
Bruce Gradkowski, who had started four games for the Raiders this season, missed the second half of his team’s 34-13 loss to the Washington Redskins with a torn medial collateral ligament in his left knee and a partially torn MCL in his right knee. A second opinion Tuesday confirmed that result. On Monday, Raiders coach Tom Cable said that wasn’t quite ready to elevate former No. 1 overall draft pick JaMarcus Russell back into the starting role, and that he wouldn’t rule out third-stringer Charlie Frye as an option if Gradkowski couldn’t play. A decision on the team’s starting quarterback for Week 15 is expected Wednesday.
In other news, 82% of NFL fans would rather kick a wounded puppy down a flight of stairs than watch JaMarcus Russell play professional football.

So if Losman beats out Russell, by the transitive property that means Harvard football > LSU football. Follow me on this one:
Losman > Russell
Edwards > Losman
FItzpatrick > Edwards
Fitzpatrick = Harvard
Russell = LSU
Therefore:
Harvard > LSU!

A completely unsurprising study about why there are no girls in computer science
The stereotype of computer scientists as geeks who memorize Star Trek lines and never leave the lab may be driving women away from the field, a new study suggests.
And women can be turned off by just the physical environment, say, of a computer-science classroom or office that’s strewn with objects considered “masculine geeky,” such as video games and science-fiction stuff.
“When people think of computer science, the image that immediately pops into many of their minds is of the computer geek surrounded by such things as computer games, science-fiction memorabilia and junk food,” said lead researcher Sapna Cheryan, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Washington. “That stereotype doesn’t appeal to many women who don’t like the portrait of masculinity that it evokes.”

No, no, women tend to be bad at math/abstract thought, too.

Hmm. Best not to tell that to MRs DC Trojan lest she be upset at the discovery that she shouldn’t have taught stats or spent all that time doing formal logic problems for her own amusement.
Or indeed her friend who’s an applied math prof at ASU.

I must be the worst CS geek ever. I’ve never seen Star Trek, don’t want to and can’t recognize a single character (other than that pic of a what looks a bald headed guy facepalming himself).

Remember when the bearded man played trombone in that one episode where he played trombone? That was something.
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic.
there were like 6 of those episodes. I remember thinking he wasn’t fantastic.

I was just happy that he was holding it correctly.
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic.
Those scenes influenced me in many, many (2) ways.
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic.
Commander Riker may be the reason I played trombone… he actually plays a King trombone like mine on Star Trek TNG. I remember that Jonathan Frakes, the actor that plays “the bearded man” Riker actually plays trombone. It says on Wikipedia:
Frakes would occasionally perform on the trombone during his tenure as Commander Riker, drawing on his college marching band experience….Frakes appeared on the Phish album Hoist, playing trombone on the track titled “Riker’s Mailbox”.
What about the guys with the messed up foreheads every other character in Star Wars facepalming themselves?

I don’t like either of them. Kirk is a dumbass and Picard is insufferably self-righteous. But then again, that’s probably Star Trek’s single biggest flaw.

That’s why DS9 was the best. It was by far the least self-righteous.

DS9
Had the best stories, and I enjoyed it quite a bit, but it was all space opera (well done) but not really SciFi. TOS & TNG had some really good SciFi episodes.
Am I known as Cugel the Clever for nothing?
I admit, I like the stories and the characters more than the techno-babble.
November 20, 1982 - a date that will live in famy.
Yeah, like HP said before, DS9 definitely had the most complex characters by far. There was to way to underestimate the effect that the Bajoran-Cardassian war had on those people. They just kept peeling down to deeper and deeper layers.
Though to be fair, the Gul Dukat-Kai affair seemed a bit farfetched.

Okay, honestly, that was just my feminist solidarity coming out. Truth be told, I’m a Picard gal.
November 20, 1982 - a date that will live in famy.
To be fair, Janeway was a great Captain with a bad storyline.
p.s. I always love how in TNG there are random female captains that show up for one episode and then eventually get killed or go to the dark side.
Ragnarok: Great Man or Greatest Man?
…really? You’ve got a better memory than I, I don’t recall any female captains going rogue.
I certainly remember Cmdr. Shelby, and that woman who basically tried to try Picard for war crimes…

In Battlestar Galactica, the woman commander is a real dick.

Cmdr. Shelby was the one who was brought in especially to fight the Borg. She was human.
The other lady was older, the daughter of this great admiral, and she was trying to uncover this non-existent conspiracy on the Enterprise through McCarthy-type public trials. She was human too.
Ensign Ro Laren was Bajoran, and yeah, she eventually joined the Maqui, but she was all heart. That episode where she finally did leave the Enterprise was a heart-wrenching one.
CGB: Wasting Your Potential, Your Time, & Your Life Since 2006.
And then she showed up years later on Battlestar, having turned evil and gotten her nose fixed.
