Here's a wish list lesson: Be specific. No, I can't give a team "consistency." No, I can't wrap up and put a bow around "take the next step." And the last time a program asked for "leadership," I dropped Tim Tebow down the chimney and that seemed to unfairly stack the deck in Gainesville. Still, you Cal fans are creative. I like No. 7 on the list: A magic light bulb. Not sure how you guys heard about that special device that illuminates a locker room for an entire 12-game season, though.
OSU got rolled.
Action: Cal receives a commitment from Chris Martin, the No. 3 defensive end in the country. (The Oakland native, who now lives in Colorado, had offers from Oklahoma, Florida and USC.)
Reaction I: Given his rating and his position — top-tier defensive linemen are so hard to find — Martin is arguably the biggest recruit of the Jeff Tedford era.
Reaction II: Then again, ratings don’t mean everything. (Kyle Reed was the No. 6 quarterback. Darian Hagan, awful for most of ‘09, was the No. 5 cornerback.)
Reaction III: But if Martin is merely half as good as the projections, then Cal will have one of the best DEs in the Pac-10 for several years. And if he’s as good as the projections … Andre Carter?
Hagan!
Farudo w/ bball quotes (Monty):
On the game: "They really hurt us in one stretch when we were forced to go small. That has been our best lineup, but they did a very nice job of isolating our small four man and playing four out. They got two or three buckets in one stretch, and there wasn’t much that we could do. We took a timeout and made a reasonable adjustment, but there wasn’t a lot that we could do. We were better when they were big because we did a better job of defending the two bigs than we did with the three perimeter guys."
"That sour taste in your mouth is the worst thing in the world, 10 times worse than spinach or whatever vegetable you hate," Tepper said. "You lose a bowl game and your offseason is terrible. All the coaches do is rag on you."
The opinions expressed in a FanPost are, in every way, reflective of the opinions of every California Golden Blogs Marshawnthusiast. Moreover, they are reflective of every employee of SBNation, including Tyler "Blez" Bleszinski.

SAN DIEGO – A series of inspirational speeches during the AT&T Team Luncheon held on the USS Midway Aircraft Carrier Museum didn’t leave many dry eyes in the house and highlighted the day’s activities on the eve of the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl.
A capacity crowd of nearly 1,000 attendees, including both the Cal and Utah football squads, listened to moving testimonies from a pair of teenagers that discussed how the Make-A-Wish Foundation had helped them with their circumstances of cancer in one case, and homelessness and family violence in another.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation made the dream of taking a family trip to Maui a reality for the cancer patient, while rewarding a $5,000 scholarship to the teenager in his effort to end a vicious cycle in his family.
Both Cal head coach Jeff Tedford and Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham also spoke at the event.
In addition to recognizing the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Tedford thanked his players and coaches, the Cal band and the bowl organizers in his brief address to the audience. He also provided Make-A-Wish kid Vince, who will serve as an honorary team captain during Wednesday’s bowl, with his own Cal jersey.
The program also included highlight videos of both teams, as well as videos the history of the Poinsettia Bowl and the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Poinsettia Bowl officials would later announce the winners of the Wishes-Come-True Inspirational Award with recruiting assistant Kevin Parker winning the honor for the Golden Bears.
Parker spoke of a program that he is heavily involved with that takes Cal’s players to see what life is like inside behind the bars of San Quentin State Prison.
“We take players there to see the things they have,” Parker told the crowd. “The choices they have made to go to school, to get a great education, to continue that and don’t get off that path.”

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Sherron Collins keyed a late surge to finish with 17 points and No. 1 Kansas overcame a rare quiet game from its bench to beat California 84-69 on Tuesday night.
Kansas (11-0) came into the game as one of the deepest teams in the country, with its reserves averaging 29.3 points per game. Even with coach Bill Self rotating players like a tag-team wrestling match, the Jayhawks’ subs couldn’t get much going, combining for 18 points.
Marcus Morris had 14 points, Tyshawn Taylor had 13 and seven assists, and Xavier Henry added 12 points for Kansas, which shot 55 percent to extend the nation’s longest home winning streak to 49 games.
Patrick Christopher had 21 points for Cal (6-4), which was well-rested after nearly two weeks off and gave Kansas its toughest home game of the season, keeping it close until late behind its perimeter shooters.
Why is Kansas so good at basketball?

The ankle length pants have now become halfway-down-the-shoe pants and, in some cases, are even have a little loop so the shoe/foot can help hold the pant leg in a way cool position.

Hastings picks civil rights scholar as dean
The school says Wu will be paid $350,000 a year and has agreed to donate $25,000 of it to a Hastings fund for scholarships and academic support.
A bit odd to announce donation plans in the introductory piece, no? Almost as if he was coaxed to do it in light of UC’s unpopular spending on administration figures.
"We lose to Stanford in many sports, but if you want to make a Cal team quit, bring a weapon."
--Coach Clark
I don’t think it’s that odd. From what I’ve heard, $350K isn’t unusual for a law school dean at a first tier law school. And besides, Hastings has had its funding cut so much by the state over the last 20 years, it’s not like UC funds are really at play in a meaningful way.
Praise be to Tedford!
I suppose what I meant by that is that it feels as if the donation thing is a PR ploy either encouraged or demanded by the University. They’ve been ripped apart of late, and this helps temper the blow of yet another 250k+ administrator salary. I am likely wrong…Wu sounds like an outstanding person and a donation like that sounds like it’s part of his character.

anytime people get on the "fire Tedford" bandwagon...
they should be reminded:
“Since taking over following the 2001 season, ha has led Cal to eight consecutive winning seasons (after four combined over the previous two decades), seven consecutive bowl games (counting the Poinsettia Bowl on Wednesday), and perhaps most importantly, a 7-1 record over arch-rival Stanford after the Bears had previously lost seven straight.
Tedford’s 67 wins at Cal currently tie him for the most in school history.”

Amen… It takes awhile to build a dynasty from the state our program was in through the 90’s… I think once all the pieces of the puzzle are there, Cal will be at the top, but for now I’m very happy with playing games in December (hopefully January some day!) and being included in the discussion for top teams year in and year out

Truth or cougar?
Andre Carter is the best Cal defensive player of the last 15 years.
Praise be to Tedford!
He’s up there… But there have been many, I was always particular to D. Hughes… And I always liked Reagan Upshaw… though that was more based on the fact I met him when I was like 10… Kinda like how Prentice McGruder is still one of my favorite all time Cal b-ball players…

Upshaw was a great player for Cal.
He and Duane Clemons were 1st round draft picks in the 1996 (?) NFL draft. With 2 such dominating defensive players, you would have to think that the team they were on was awesome.
Uh, not so much. GILBYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!

Recruiting FAIL
Student recruiter shows up at high school, hoaxes everyone.
Officials at Croatan High School say an 18-year-old named Kodey Kroger showed up at their school one day claiming to be a “student-recruiter” for ECU. He said he was a current football player for the Pirates, offered a credentials letter signed by head coach Skip Holtz, and told the football team he was there to offer some preferred walk-on spots to a couple of Croatan players. He spent a couple of days hanging around the school, met with coaches, players and even some parents.
There were only a couple of issues. For one, “student-recruiter” is not a thing. Schools, even crappy ones, don’t send college freshmen out to round up players for the football team. Second, Kroger doesn’t even go to ECU. He was apparently recruited to play for Campbell University (home of the Fighting Camels!), but according to an assistant coach there “it didn’t work out.” The letters were fakes (obviously) and Croatan doesn’t have anyone good enough to play D-I football, even as walk-ons.

Its stories like these that make me really appreciate what kind of coach we have. The kind of class acts that have come trough over the years, great personalitys, and were always kept in line. Countless times have I said to myself after an interview with a Cal player ’Wow, what a well spoken 18,19,20 ..etc year old.
The garbage that these SEC schools alow is sad, they have no interest in what kind of person thier recruiting and it shows with the issues they have.
Thank you Tedford for not only bringing in great players, but better characters as well.

10) Making fun of rival player arrests as your entire D Line gets 5-10
“Man, can you guys believe that LSU player did a Diamond Dallas Page on his Econ teacher? What a bunch of thugs. I mean, sure, our strong safety roid-rufied a mascot, but I mean… that was bullshit.”
Odds are, this sounds like you. Bless our hearts, most college football fans couldn’t see the world straight with a team-sponsored leveler. We make fun of each other for doing the things, well, we do. Arkansas calls Mississippi inbred. Oklahoma calls USC cheaters. OJ calls Donte Stallworth a copycat.
Hey look, it happens. But when it comes to mocking player arrests, tread lightly. It’s like running for president when you’re a Bush: everybody gets their turn. And yours is right around the corner. So if you aren’t careful, you’ll end up with Dukakis on your face.
Besides, are you really that surprised that the guy who’s on scholarship because he really likes to hit people really likes to hit people?
If you’re in SEC country, heed this rule especially. Put down the stone and say hello to your glass house.
In the SEC, coaching salaries aren’t the only thing out of control. It’s like Hank Williams Jr. said. Only this time, all your rowdy friends are on scholarship.
It works like this: If you laugh at a rival guy for stealing a car, your guy will steal a tank. If you laugh at a rival guy for smoking a joint, your guy will smoke a pedestrian. That’s karma, that’s how it works. The second you make fun of a rival fullback who stumbles into an underage MIP, your favorite linebacker Lattimers an underage KD.
If you’re with a team outside the SEC, you have every right to look down in concern. In fact, you should be concerned about who SEC players are victimizing the worst: You.

Q&A with the guy who wrote about the post-Favre era at Green Bay
Q. How much do you think this season is going to help Aaron Rodgers solidify fan support?
A. Fan support for Rodgers is extremely solid. This is my second season in Green Bay and most of the doubters from last year seem to have come around. Along with some terrific quarterbacking, fans love how he handled himself during the various Favre dramas, and they love the toughness Rodgers is showing. With the Packers’ offensive line problems early in the season, the guy was getting killed but kept popping back up, kept playing great, never complained. In the Pittsburgh game Sunday, he took a hellacious first-series hit, helmet to chin, and again pulled himself off the turf and ended up playing another outstanding game. The next step for Rodgers will be to help lead the Packers into the playoffs and maintain this top-flight play in January.

Little surprised to see Jack @ #10 and Jackson @ #3…other baby name lists had it somewhere around 70 or so for boys. At least my son won’t be a wussy like Aiden, Ethan, and Jayden.
Could it be that we’re seeing a spike in Jacko names since Jacko died this summer and CNN covered nothing else? (I kid, I kid)

USC's AD not defending Pete Carroll?
Or is this journalist nonsense?
At a time when the beleaguered coach and his scandal-singed football program need the athletic director’s support more than ever, Garrett’s silence, and absence, have been conspicuous.
Where’s Mike Garrett?
Every time I run into the USC athletic director he takes off running, only now beginning to understand why — obviously the administrator in training for the next controversy to plague his athletic department.
Former USC basketball coach Tim Floyd told The Times recently Garrett abandoned him when Floyd had his problems.
“Mike’s reputation took precedence,” Floyd said. “All loyalty, all support stopped.”
Here we go again, Pete Carroll now on the spot, the perception nationally the Trojans’ football program is out of control, if not in need of an NCAA spanking, and Garrett is nowhere to be found to assist the guy who saved his career.
Garrett owes every day on the job, every penny earned to Carroll after stumbling across him almost a decade ago and hiring him to take the job Mike Riley, Dennis Erickson and Mike Bellotti turned down.

Wilner’s comments regarding USC:
Action: USC tailback Joe McKnight spotted driving SUV that’s not his, a possible violation of extra-benefits rule.
Reaction I: Why is it so hard to believe that he was driving his girlfriend’s car? It’s like the media and the NCAA have it out for the Trojans (O.J. Mayo) and don’t realize that these are good kids (Dwayne Jarrett) and right-minded coaches (Tim Floyd) who are just doing their very best (Reggie Bush) to make a living.
Reaction II: For the very first time, I’m thinking maybe the football program is going to get slapped around by the NCAA. Yes, it’s taken this long, and this much wrongdoing (allegedly!), to get me to this point.
Reaction III: Just curious: Has someone checked to see if the starting tailbacks at Washington and Tennessee are driving their girlfriends’ SUVs?

My shirt is gold. My sweater is blue. My blazer on which the lapel pin is affixed is blue. I have a Cal helmet (mini and full sized) in my office, as well as an autographed picture of Jeff Tedford. My office also displays bobbleheads of Oski and Tedford. I win at being a Cal fan.
That said, I am undecided at my gametime attire tonight. Feel like I need to change things up from the rest of the season.

Mrs. Ohio Bear did not seem thrilled with the prospect of me being out with so much left to do before Christmas. So discretion being the better part of valor, I turned down CALumbus’ gracious invitation for the sake of domestic tranquility. While watching the game, I will be multitasking, including helping get the kids to sleep and wrapping Christmas gifts. (Since I plan to start drinking after the kids get to sleep, the Christmas gifts might turn out funny. But if we win, who cares?)

It would behoove this Bear to not eff this up with football, beer, and ball scratching.
However, mrs. carp does appreciate the finer aspects of football, particularly Cal’s D-line coach and several fast players on the team.

Commercials
A bill passed by the House that will be considered by the Senate is about loud television commercials.
A Democratic representative from California, however — and her fellow politicians in the House — find them more annoying than effective.
In her crusade to eliminate the nuisance, Rep. Anna Eshoo wrote the Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation Act, or CALM, which mandates that TV commercials be no louder than the programs in which they appear.
Representatives unanimously passed the bill last month and sent it to the Senate for consideration.

This is great news! Tackling the big problems in America!
But seriously, I do hate it when I have a TV show on and when it cuts to commercial it sounds like twice as loud… I don’t need you yelling at me about your new bath tub with a door, I know its more safe and your to frail to step into a tub…
Undefeated in Southern California since Oct. 2009...
To be fair, they probably knocked this one out in an hour, which benefits the American people in two ways: 1.) fuck commercials that are significantly louder than the TV shows they appear between, and 2.) that’s one hour less spent on figuring out how to make banks and medical insurers even more rich. (I think that’s the default time killer in Congress.)
"Let me tell you a story. I was a political prisoner for two years. The instant I was released I ran to McDonald's. I had a Big Mac and a Coke.
It was fantastic."
-Toyama Koichi, US Presidential candidate from Japan

Health Care Reform
WASHINGTON – Exultant Senate Democrats pushed President Barack Obama’s landmark health care overhaul past a final procedural hurdle Wednesday, setting up a Christmas Eve vote to pass the legislation extending coverage to 30 million Americans.
It was the third time Democrats have put up 60 votes on procedural measures since Monday. Final passage requires just a simple majority so Democrats should triumph easily. It will be a big victory for Obama and the Democrats, although the Senate bill will still have to be reconciled with a House-passed version before Obama could sign a final package.
