DBD 12.3.09 Please Welcome Your Newest Marshawnthusiast!

PrintYes, let's all have a big celebration for our newest Marshawnthusiast! Now, I haven't quite discussed this with the rest of the Marshawnthusiasts yet. And our Jahvidtician and Folletariat Member might be upset that we promoted this delightful gentleman directly to Marshawnthusiast even after they are unable to score that key promotion.
But I see in this guy a youthful energy that we could use around here. Things are lagging this late in the season and we need somebody who will bring a crisp energy. He's an all-around great performer. He can bring the funny, he can bring the analysis, he has a xylophonic knowledge of college football. He can do it all.
And, let's be honest for a second here. Most, if not all, of the other Marshawnthusiasts are a bunch of lazy gadabouts, who care more about their next smoke out session then Patrick Christopher's next box out session. We need to infuse them with this new blood and that's why I am proud to announce the Zoonews Jr. as the newest Marshawnthusiast! Sure, he can't walk, but man can he do a frame by frame analysis of Tedford calling for the WildBear pass against Arizona State!
And I know this is a harsh way to find out about it, but, I'm sorry carp jr. I strongly considered your application, but I just didn't feel as if you were Marshawnthusiast-material. You didn't have it. You spent the entirety of our interview drooling. I mean yeah, that was EXACTLY what your father did during *his* interview, but at least he has NSFW photos there. But please leave your headshot with my assistant and we'll call you if anything turns up.
GO BAY!
Mens BBall loses tough game to UNM Lobos:
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP)--Darington Hobson collected 22 points and 15 rebounds to help New Mexico stay unbeaten with a 86-78 victory against California on Wednesday night.
A late 3-pointer from Roman Martinez put the Lobos (7-0) ahead to stay. Martinez finished with 16 points.
Jamal Boykin had 21 points and a season-high 13 rebounds to lead the Bears (4-3). He was one shy of tying his personal best of 14.
The game was tight throughout, but New Mexico closed with a 9-2 run, as the final buzzer sounded.
Martinez's big shot came with 3:14 remaining and the score 74-74. The game had 17 lead changes and was tied 12 times.
Phillip McDonald added 15 points for New Mexico, while Jerome Randle added 20 for Cal. He connected on three straight three-pointers in a little over a minute in the second half. Randle also added seven assists. He's recorded 16 assists in the last two games.
Patrick Christopher drilled three three-pointers, part of his 15 points on the night. Christopher also notched four steals.
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.

Football players are smart:
BERKELEY – Nine Cal student-athletes were honored on the Pac-10 All-Academic Football Team announced Tuesday by the conference. Junior offensive lineman Mark Boskovich, sophomore wide receiver Alex Lagemann and junior linebacker Mike Mohamed were first-team selections. Boskovich and Mohamed were repeat first-team choices from a year ago. Both were also named to the 2009 CoSIDA/ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District 8 First-Team in November.
Boskovich’s 3.73 cumulative GPA as a Political Science major was the fourth-highest on this year’s conference all-academic squad. Mohamed, the Pac-10’s leading tackler with 100 stops through the first 11 games this season, is a Business Administration major with a 3.43 GPA. Lagemann has a 3.68 GPA and is a Media Studies major.
Sophomore defensive lineman Ernest Owusu (3.12 GPA, Undeclared), redshirt freshman offensive lineman Matt Summers-Gavin (3.36 GPA, Political Science) and sophomore placekicker Giorgio Tavecchio (3.57 GPA, Undeclared) were second-team choices. Senior tight end Skylar Curran (3.00 GPA, American Studies), junior offensive lineman Chris Guarnero (3.03 GPA, American Studies) and sophomore offensive lineman Mitchell Schwartz (3.10 GPA, Undeclared) received honorable mention recognition.

Womens BBall hosts 2 day tourney:
Saturday, Dec. 5, 12:00 p.m. : No. 19/20 Cal vs. Colorado State Audio: CalBears.com
Saturday, Dec. 5, 2:30 p.m.: No. 7/10 Texas A&M vs Southern Illinois
Sunday, Dec. 6, 12:00 p.m. Colorado State vs S. Illinois or No. 7/10 Texas A&M
Sunday, Dec. 6, 2:30 p.m.: No. 19/20 Cal vs. No. 7/10 Texas A&M or S. Illinois
The No. 19/20 California Golden Bears (3-2) play in their second tournament of the season, hosting the annual Colliers International Classic Dec 5-6 at Haas Pavilion. This year, the tournament features an opening game Saturday afternoon between Cal and the Colorado State Rams (4-1) at 12:00 p.m. followed by No. 10 Texas A&M (3-0) taking on the Southern Illinois Salukis (0-4).
On Sunday, Colorado State will play at 12:00 p.m. and Cal will play the 2:30 p.m. game. If Cal wins on Saturday, the 2:30 game will be the Championship Game and will feature the winner of Saturday’s second game. If Cal loses to CSU on Saturday, then Cal’s Sunday game will be the consolation game and will feature the losing team from Saturday’s other game. All-tournament honors will be announced following the 2:30 game, whether it is the championship or consolation game.
With Texas A&M cracking the top-10 in the AP poll for the first time this week, a position they have held for three weeks in the USA Today/ESPN Coaches poll, Cal has an opportunity to face top-10 teams in back-to-back-to-back weeks having already played No. 9/8 Baylor and No. 3 Ohio State. It will most likely be Cal’s last opportunity to earn a victory over a ranked team until Pac-10 play begins in January.
There are a couple of milestones for the Bears that could be reached this weekend. Head coach Joanne Boyle comes into the weekend tournament with 98 Golden Bear victories, two shy of becoming just the second Cal coach ever to win 100 games while coaching the blue and gold. Senior guard Alexis Gray-Lawson needs three threes to tie the career record for made three-point baskets and four to break the record. The record, currently held by Jennifer Self (1989-92) is 159. Gray-Lawson, who has made six so far this season, including three in the opener against Idaho State, has 156 in her Cal career.

XC Runner named All-Pac10:
BERKELEY – Sophomore Deborah Maier, who finished sixth at the Pac-10 cross country championships, has been named to the 2009 first-team all-conference team, the league office announced Wednesday.
Maier led the Golden Bears in all four races she competed in during the 2009 season. Her highest standing came in her ’09 debut at the Stanford Invitational. She was also 13th in a field of 247 runners at the Pre-Nationals meet in Terre Haute, Ind., and 14th at the NCAA regional championships, which earned her all-region recognition.
At Pac-10’s, Maier, who completed the 6000-meter course in 20:00.10, had the best showing for a Bear individual since Elissa Riedy was also sixth in 1997. Maier also improved on her team-best 41st-place finish at the ‘08 conference championships. Her sixth-place finish this fall helped the Cal team take fifth overall – the squad’s highest showing in 21 years.
Maier is the first Cal women’s runner to be voted to the All-Pac-10 team since Bridget Duffy was named to the second team in 2003, and she is the first Bear to claim first-team honors since the conference began naming a team in 1999.

Sixth-ranked California (2-0 dual-meet record) will send its swimmers to the 2009 AT&T Short Course National Championships this week, from Thursday through Saturday, Dec. 3-5 in Federal Way, Wash., and its divers to the Dec. 3-5 Texas Swimming and Diving Hall of Fame Invitational in Austin, Texas. The Golden Bears will also swim in the U.S. Long Course Timed Final National Invitational on Sunday, Dec. 6. in Federal Way.
Swimming results will be available at OmegaTiming.com. Diving results will be available at the Texas Web site.
In 2007, the Cal swimmers finished second at short course nationals in Atlanta, with 229 points behind Auburn’s 383. The Bears’ foursome of Lauren Rogers, Alexandra Ellis, Dana Vollmer and Emily Silver edged Auburn to win the 400-yard freestyle relay in a time of 3:38.47. The Cal quartet of Vollmer, Lauren Boyle, Madison Kennedy and Silver won the 800-free relay in a time of 7:06.50.

Womens Soccer players are smart:
BERKELEY – The California women’s soccer team was bestowed with the Team Academic Award by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America, it was announced recently. The NSCAA awarded all teams with a 3.0 grade-point average or higher.
“The players deserve a lot of credit for maintaining very good grades whilst competing in this very competitive Pac-10 Conference, as well amongst the nation’s top teams,” Cal head coach Neil McGuire said. “It is good to see our team being focused both in the classroom and on the field.”
In addition to the NSCAA team award, 11 Golden Bears were recognized for their success off the field and in the classroom with placement on various All-Pac-10 academic teams, the conference office announced recently. Redshirt junior Lisa Kevorkian, who is majoring in media studies, earned the Golden Bears’ highest honors on the second team for her 3.53 grade-point average. Brianna Bak, Katie Benz, Danielle Brunache, Megan Jesolva, Alex Morgan, Katie Oakes, Katrin Omarsdottir, Gina Pellegrini, Emily Shibata and Miranda White were all given honorable mentions. To be eligible for selection to the academic team, a student-athlete must have a minimum 3.0 overall grade-point average and be either a starter or significant contributor.

"The players deserve a lot of credit for maintaining very good grades whilst competing in this very competitive Pac-10 Conference, as well amongst the nation’s top teams," Cal head coach Neil McGuire said. "It is good to see our team being focused both in the classroom and on the field especially after I quit on them in the middle of the season."
Praise be to Tedford!
He walked out on the team in early October, then came back after missing one game
“I think we took the team as far as we could have taken it, considering all the adversity we were up against,” junior Alex Morgan said.
It wasn’t much of a team at all, though. The Bears were divided, players versus coach.
“A coach is a coach, players are what make a team,” senior co-captain Brianna Bak said just days after McGuire temporarily left the team for personal reasons.
That statement became almost a mantra with the players, who would turn any question regarding “the situation” with their coach into a chance to talk about the bond they shared as sisters.
Praise be to Tedford!
I assume so
This was from the press release when he returned to the team on Oct. 5
“I am reaffirming my commitment to Cal as the head women’s soccer coach,” McGuire said. “I am deeply saddened I placed my team, program and administration in this unfortunate position. I had some profoundly difficult personal issues to deal with throughout last week, and I put myself ahead of our team, which goes against our ideal of program, team, individual. I need to be a better coach and mentor and will work towards this goal. I am very proud to be a Cal Bear, and it is my hope the team allows me a chance to help them towards their goals for this season.”
Director of Athletics Sandy Barbour reiterated her support for McGuire, who has guided the Golden Bears to back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearance in his first two seasons at the helm.
“Neil McGuire is the right coach for our program,” Barbour said. “I felt that more than two years ago when I hired him and I feel that today.”
Praise be to Tedford!
Softball player receives honor:
BERKELEY – California junior standout utility/pitcher Valerie Arioto was named to the ESPN Rise All-Decade team, ESPN.com announced Monday. She was also placed on the All-State All-Decade Team.
Last season, Arioto, a first-team All-Pac-10 and first team All-Pacific Region selection, also earned third-team NFCA All-American and second-team Easton All-American honors this season doing double duty as a pitcher and playing first base for the Bears. Arioto was the second-leading hitter on the team, posting a .325 average with a .425 on-base percentage.
Arioto ranked among the team’s stat leaders last year, as well. She was second in home runs with 10, tied for the lead with 37 RBI, led the team with 41 runs scored, and stole 15 straight stolen bases before being thrown out on her 16th attempt of the season. Arioto posted a perfect 1.000 fielding percentage, not making an error on defense in 244 chances. As a pitcher, she ended the year with a 14-9 record and a 2.40 ERA, capping her season with a complete-game four hitter against the top-rated Florida Gators at the Super Regional in Gainesville, Fla.
The Pleasanton, Calif., native was part of the USA Softball squad that earned the gold medal at the Japan Cup in Sendai City over the summer. The United States squad swept through the tournament, winning all four of their games in the tournament. Arioto had an RBI in the first meeting against Japan, getting hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to drive in the first run of the game. Arioto also hit a solo home run against Chinese Taipei.

Sun Bowl won't take Arizona
http://www.azstarnet.com/allheadlines/319610
Mike Stoops downplayed the appeal of a “Stoops Bowl” on Monday, calling a possible Arizona-Oklahoma matchup in the Holiday Bowl or Sun Bowl “uncomfortable for all of us.”
Stoops’ brother Bob is the Sooners longtime head coach; their younger brother Mark serves as the Wildcats defensive coordinator.
Should Texas defeat Nebraska in Saturday’s Big 12 title game, the Cornhuskers would likely go to the Holiday Bowl with Oklahoma heading to the Sun Bowl.
The Wildcats can qualify for either game by beating USC on Saturday.
“It’d be awkward,” Mike Stoops said, “but we’d have to see what happens.”
Sun Bowl chairman John Folmer said Monday that his game would respect Stoops’ wishes in that scenario.
“There’s a pretty good chance we’re going to get Oklahoma on the other end. If that were the case, and coach Stoops didn’t want to play his brother, we’d honor that,” he said.
Translation: We’re going to pick Oklahoma for the Sun Bowl and we won’t pick Arizona.
They also won’t pick Oregon State because the Beavers played there last year.
This has nothing to do with Cal, which still has one more game to play in the season and, as such, should not be thinking about bowl game scenarios.

Saturday's game might have no MSG
Per YO’s Wednesday night report
On the field, there was one significant development today. Summers-Gavin missed his second straight day of practice and it turns out he suffered a concussion against Stanford and may not play Saturday. Tedford said a determination of Summers-Gavin’s availability will be made Thursday. Boskovich has been taking Summers-Gavin’s reps and will start in his place if need be.
I wonder if it happened on the play where the stanfurd player bloodied him and was called for a personal foul.
Praise be to Tedford!
no, cause he played the whole game after that.
he baited the guy into that play, then he and tepper dominated him the rest of the game.
Go Bears Go
MSG
He didn’t really get bloodied because of anything the furd player did. Because of the way he wears his helmet, it hits him on the bridge of the nose, so he’s almost always bloody after wearing his helmet. Must be super frustrating, as it just hasn’t healed.

Wow, woulda thought UCLA had more too
I realized the talent had dropped off, but I didn’t think it had dropped off that much. Yikes.
There’s a legit reason for this (beyond my moustache comment)… a lot of the talent we had was rated lower because of our lack of on-field success. You’ll see players pop up on practice squads that in a good year would have been drafted. It’s significantly tougher to make the team that way, so we don’t have a lot to show for it. But you do see players make it every once in a while (Spencer Havner is doing decent in Green Bay despite being undrafted).
Go Bruins!
Yeah, there's a couple of our guys floating around
that were practice squad pickups that have turned out alright. Havner comes to mind. Off the top of my head, can also think of Kahlil Bell, but that’s about it.
I think UCLA only has something like 15 players in the NFL now. As recently as 5 years ago, that number was close to 30. Man, that talent drop-off has been steep.
Should we blame Karl Dorrell?
He seems to be responsible for, you know, everything.

Cincinnati Coach and Notre Dame candidate Brian Kelly has finalized long-term contract....
FootballCoachScoop.com is reporting that the University of Cincinnati and current head coach Brian Kelly have finalized the terms of a a multi-year contract.
The site goes on to indicate that sources tell FootballCoachScoop.com that Kelly will be the head coach of the Cincinnati Bearcats next season. According to the source, an announcement will be made regarding the contract soon.
This is awesome news, coming on heels of the Chicago Sun-Time report that Brian Kelly would actually coach Notre Dame in their bowl game.
Backstage speculation is brewing that Kelly might resurrect an old trick and forsake whatever venue the bowl-bound Bearcats earn and instead drop shillelagh to stay through the holidays and beyond in South Bend.
That means Kelly could stage- manage his first game for the Fighting Irish later this month if they accept a minor bowl bid. The short list of interested committees reportedly includes those from the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl in Detroit on Dec. 26, the EagleBank Bowl in Washington on Dec. 29, the Roady’s Humanitarian Bowl in Boise, Idaho, on Dec. 30 and the GMAC Bowl in Mobile, Ala., on Jan. 6.
MARSHAAAAAAAAALLL!!!
I hate Notre Dame, but I have to admit, this coaching search drama is quite entertaining.

There is a Little Ceaser’s Pizza Bowl?
President Emperor Warlord Of The Sun!
www.CaliforniaGoldenBlogs.com
With Little Caesars taking over the Motor City Bowl, and Papa John’s having its own bowl, does this show the balance of power shifting from Pizza Hut and Domino’s to smaller programs at Little Caesars and Papa John’s? Is this a sign of parity in the pizza world? Do you see Little Caesars and Papa John’s recruiting better delivery drivers than Pizza Hut or Domino’s, two programs which traditionally have higher academic standards for their drivers?
— Jeff Pretzel, Houston
Good question. It seems to me Pizza Hut and Domino’s have gotten a little complacent. They think they can just roll out a new bread bowl or calzone-type thing every couple of years and assume the fans will still flock to them. Papa John’s takes a Boise State-type approach. Nobody can figure out exactly how it got where it is (is it the dipping sauce? the whole wheat crust?) but somehow it’s right up there duking it out with the big boys. It doesn’t have blue turf, but it does have its own little bowl game in Birmingham featuring a team from the mighty SEC. As for Little Caesars, it’s kind of like Temple. Prior to this year’s breakout season, few people even remembered the Owls still had a football team, and quite frankly, prior to the Detroit bowl naming, I couldn’t have told you Little Caesars was still in business.

I don’t know about the brand story, but I do know that one of the worst hangovers I ever had involved Popov and Busweiser, and I’ve avoided them ever since.
I wouldn’t even touch something called Busweiser. That just sound like pure swill.
Praise be to Tedford!
It’s somewhat debatable whether more expensive vodkas are filtered better/produce less of a hangover. It’s not debatable that even spirits experts can’t tell the difference between the taste of different vodkas.
Rishi, of course, insists that these studies are BS and that he can tell the difference.
I’m not claiming that I can somehow taste the difference between Belvedere and Chopin. I’m saying that there is a difference between Popov’s and Stoli Elit. It may not be worth the $50 price difference, but there still is a difference.
7
Dude, there are differences. Deal with it.
Some vodkas make you gag when you even smell it. Others aren’t so bad, and still others(though few) have little nose at all. Some are better for shooting, some better for mixing. The mixes themselves make a difference. Orange juice hides more than soda water, for example.
Another factor is the drinker. Some people just have a more sensitive palate. That doesn’t mean ‘better’, it just means that little differences bother them more, and big differences even more so.
Maybe you haven’t had enough really good vodka, or maybe you haven’t enough really shitty vodka. I’m not saying there’s not a wide swath in the middle, or that Rishi or I can necessarily blind taste every single vodka and discern each one equally. I’m just saying that there is definitely a spectrum.
CGB: Wasting Your Potential, Your Time, & Your Life Since 2006.
Uh…did you even read the article I linked to?
Just because you claim you can taste the differences doesn’t mean they exist. It’s just means that you’re every marketing department’s dream. Besides, if a bunch of people who do this for a living can’t tell the difference between Smirnoff and Grey Goose, I highly doubt you can.
It amazes me that you clearly didn’t read my post. Or just didn’t understand it.

Did you miss that part?
I’m not talking about Smirnoff vs. Skyy vs. Goose. I couldn’t tell those apart by taste, I wouldn’t recognize them on their own. I’m talking about “shit that makes me gag” vs “I can drink this” vs “holy crap that’s smooth”. I refuse to believe that you, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-NamedPhobe, couldn’t tell the difference between the first and third categories.

Hi
From your link itself:
http://images.businessweek.com/ss/08/05/0523_best_vodkas/index_01.htm
That’s right, they actually analyse the vodkas one-by-one and their conclusions are not, shockingly, that they are all exactly the same.
I’m really confused how businessweek’s blind taste test of other people is more accurate than a blind taste test I did myself.
7
Read the whole article…
The participants claimed that their favorite vodkas were Grey Goose, Ketel One, etc, but when served different vodkas were unable to distinguish between Popov and their supposed “favorite”.
I did!
You still need to explain to me how a blind taste test done on other people is more accurate for me (since my claim is that I can tell the difference between low end and high grade vodkas) than a blind taste test I did myself!
7
Have you done a blind taste test yourself?
If so, there’s no difference. I was under the impression that you haven’t.
My friends and I were bored, we had a ton of different brands of vodka, so we ran them all (as scientifically as possible). I ended up choosing Belvedere (my favourite brand, marketing included, is Ciroc).
We did the same thing with different types of diet soda (diet coke, coke zero, diet pepsi, pepsi one, generic store brand, etc)
Man, I miss college.
7
But were you able to tell the difference between Popov and Belvedere blind?
Obviously if you try Belvedere (non-blind) there’s going to be some level of bias towards thinking you prefer it.
You know the best way for us to determine this is just to go to a bar and do the experiment ourselves…
Well, our shotgunning rematch is still outstanding. I will add this to the List of Drinking Challenges that Rishi Accepts But Doesn’t Show Up To.
I showed up late.
But even if I were on time, we couldn’t have since you didn’t bring beer.
I would offer tomorrow, but I already have to drink tonight.

There are two factors at play here:
1) There was a wide array of vodkas and I picked my favourite out of the bunch.
2) Vodkas were served straight from the freezer (as is done in most of these blind taste tests). Freezing vodka hides most of the disgusting impurities or whatever, so even cheap vodka tastes better. Warm is different altogether.
7
No, it’s popular in Russia because crushing poverty, starvation, year-round blizzards and alternating fascist and communist governments make people want to drink. A lot.
haha… this is a game I play often in bars. I’ve actually done the blind taste test thing. No mixes, no ice… just neat. Here’s what I’ve learned.
Many can taste the difference between two groups: Kettle, Belevedere and Goose vs Smirnoff, Gordons and Absolute, myself included. However, differentiation within a group is really, really hard. I can pick out Goose vs Smirnoff almost always, but between Belevedere and Goose is harder than you think.
Of course, this is just a fun game you play at bars and not scientific in any way. If you really want good results, you need to avoid getting progressively more drunk as the taste test goes on.
This is a fun game I used to play in college… whenever we invited freshmen girls over for parties, we filled popov’s or smirnoff into Grey Goose bottles and served it cold.
The freshmen girls thought we were all ballers for serving Goose. It was fun.
7
It is a great game but doesn’t work with scotch. One thing I have noticed is… even if there isn’t much of a taste difference, there is a difference in terms of how certain brands react with my system. A hangover from Goose is drastically different from one from Smirnoff. Even if this is a placebo, it’s a pretty darn consistent one, I find.
Maybe… he kept feeding me Kool-Aid and I woke up in a dumpstre.

I think today sounds as good a day as any to conduct a fun little social experiment. I am open for suggestions.

Fill up a vodka bottle with battery acid and pass it off as a $300 bottle of vodka
In other words, Go Bears!
I was merely going to replace the “pretend” electrocution with real electrocution. But apparently, the Rishi rules here say that that’s not a social experiment.
Go Bruins!
I’m not stopping you from trying it!
(But, yes, I am still open to suggestions for reasonable social experiments to conduct tonight).
7
I heard one experiment done on a college campus where kegs of non-alcoholic beer were provided instead of normal beer. The “drunken” reactions of party-goers were not any different from those where actual booze was consumed.
Don’t have a source, link, etc. And this would entail NOT drinking. So never mind that.
Go Bruins!
I’ve actually contemplated doing that back in college… I never felt like shelling over the money for a keg of O’Doul’s, but it would have been awesome.
I’m quite sure we’d get quite a few people who would act drunk (which makes sense — I’m sure a big part of drunkeness at the beginning stages is adrenaline from drinking).
7
Would explain why i feel a lot more drunk off 2 samplers from BJ’s than I do 3 pints of beer.
Go Bruins!
It’s also probably why you get “buzzed” really quickly, but don’t actually get “drunk” too easily.
In the alcohol-free beer social experiment, I’m guessing the “crash” at the end of the night really wouldn’t happen. Or the dizziness from trying to lie down after getting blastedly drunk. Or the hangover the next morning.
Okay, this is suddenly sounding attractive.
7
Next time you and a few bros homies friends are hanging out, do it again. The psychological factor of drinking a shot every minute for an hour will get you more buzzed than it reasonably should.
Also, listen to a power hour mix while you do it. Double the pleasure, double the fun!
7
As someone who’s been sober around a lot of drunks, it is still fun to be around, and you definitely get a little goofier. But probably the placebo affect for me is less, because I know I’m drinking water /soda.
Ragnarok: Great Man or Greatest Man?
I think this seriously depends on how much you liked the people BEFORE they were drunker than you. You’re never going to find a sober and a drunk hugging and saying ‘I just LOVE you, man!’
Ragnarok: Great Man or Greatest Man?
I’m actually really curious, because in my standard group of friends, we have one girl who doesn’t drink at all. She continues to hang out with us, but I’ve just wondered what it’s like from her perspective.
7
If she chooses to do it twice, she’s probably enjoying herself.
My biggest complaint – besides being the designated whatever – is that my hilarious jokes go way over the head of the drunk people! so I’m a little out of sync with them. I’m very clever! Laugh, Dammit!

Seriously, Hangar One Lime with club soda and half a lime of fresh lime juice is my absolute favourite drink.
Doesn’t taste strong (lime juice cancels out some of the vodka), is refreshing (lime juice and club soda), doesn’t dehydrate you as bad as your average mixed drink (no sugar), and is a lot better for the beer/vodka gut than a mixed drink or b eer.
If you’re especially Indian like me, add a tiny pinch of salt and make it like a fresh lime soda.

I’m a huge fan of lime flavored drinks (gimlets, gin rickeys, lime rickeys, you name it). And like you said, they’re a lot “healthier”.
Fresh lime soda is AMAZING. I wish places served it here.
Their cherry flavored one on the rocks is actually a very drink. Its smooth, has enough bite, and its sweet enough for girls to be all over your glass.

Matt Hinton: Washington (+7) over California.
The Huskies already have a pair of upsets at home, over USC and Arizona, with another close call against LSU, and Cal has a history of chronic road woes. The Huskies have also been on the cusp against Notre Dame, Arizona State and UCLA on the road, and have every chance to get that last, momentum-generating win heading into the offseason with the Bears still missing star tailback Jahvid Best. Husky quarterback Jake Locker should be looking at a big night against a Cal secondary that’s allowed at least 280 yards through that and/or multiple touchdown passes seven times.

Ragnarok: Great Man or Greatest Man?
Op/ed piece about the silent majority in the Daily Cal
That may be termed apathy, but I call it being rational. My long-held belief is that the amount of difference one average person can make politically is so infinitesimal that the only rational reason for following or engaging in politics is if it brings personal satisfaction. For me, politics is a sport—a competitive activity in a flexible framework—football or basketball by other means. For most, however, it is an annoyance, a distraction from the things that they truly take joy in.
My goal in this virtual opinion page has been to appeal to this giant segment that doesn’t particularly give a damn either way, but is open to new ideas. If left untouched, they would likely default to the leftist consensus when voting time comes around. But that need not be the case.
This great middle deserves to hear a balanced perspective. If Proposition 13 is being roundly criticized for making it difficult to raise taxes, shouldn’t it be said that California’s taxes are already the sixth highest in the Union? If self-appointed experts criticize the football team for being a diversion of student funds, shouldn’t the obvious fact that it is a self-sufficient entity be mentioned? Shouldn’t you know that you pay $55 a year to a student government who spends those funds in a ridiculous manner?
My point is to bring common-sense issues close to home and make people think about the broader questions that will challenge the leftist consensus they would otherwise be a part of. These are basic questions-where is our money coming from? Where is it going? Students aren’t suddenly going to start toting Palin ’12 lapel pins, but if a reasonable conservative perspective is presented to them, their thought will undoubtedly be more balanced throughout their life.

If you hire mathematicians, you’ll get a model that works based on its internal logic, the question is the underlying assumptions that drive the internal logic.
A friend of mine is a professor in the applied math department at Rice, and he’s seen a few colleagues bail to Wall St for the money – but without much conception of whether the models were genuinely applicable.
My oldest brother has begun working on a math major for the purpose of going through business school and gaming the system for all it’s worth. As far as ways to make a living go, it’s a monstrous idea (enabling the same kind of mass looting of the economy that got us to this point to begin with), but I can’t say that it isn’t an amusing idea.

Golfer who introduced Elin to Tiger tees off on Woods
A few days ago, we told you how in 2001, golfer Jesper Parnevik and his wife introduced their nanny, Elin Nordegren, to an up-and-coming young go-getter by the name of Tiger Woods. With all the revelations of late, seems Jesper isn’t particularly happy with how Tiger has handled his marriage.
“I feel really sorry for Elin,” he told The Golf Channel on Wednesday. “I would be especially sad about it since I’m kind of … I really feel sorry for Elin, since me and my wife were at fault for hooking her up with him. We probably thought he was a better guy than he is. I would probably need to apologize to her and hope she uses a driver next time instead of the 3-iron.”

Of course, Nordegren’s arrival begs the question: Since she is such an attractive young woman…. “Did I worry my husband was going to screw the nanny?” Parnevik says. “Is that what you’re asking? Of course not. My marriage has a lot more trust than that.”

Anecdote about Jesper Parnevik
I know a guy who is a member at a golf club where a PGA TOUR event is held each year. Club members volunteer during the tournament to work as the “walking scorers” for each group. (Walking scorers track the scores for each hole on an electronic device, and the data gets transmitted and eventually becomes what you see online in “real” time.) Players typically thank the scorer at the end of the round “for walking with us” and many times give the scorer an autographed golf ball as a souvenir.
One year, my acquaintance had Jesper in his group in the 2nd round of a tournament. Jesper was in good shape to make the cut, but ended up going bogey, double bogey (or something like that) on the last 2 holes to miss the cut by one shot. Jesper stormed off to the scorer’s tent after the round, fuming, and didn’t acknowledge the scorer. A short while later, after he signed his card, Jesper went out of his way to find the guy, handed him an autographed ball, and said: “I am very sorry. My mother raised me better than to be rude like that. Thank you very much for walking with us today.”
Nice gesture for a guy who was understandably upset after just blowing a lot of money by crapping out on the last 2 holes.
Praise be to Tedford!

Was the South a backwater before the war? I thought a lot of it was that the North trashed the place and pretty much left it for dead.
CGB: Wasting Your Potential, Your Time, & Your Life Since 2006.
I’m trying to remember AP US History and History Channels specials here so bear with me.
In the antebellum era (i.e. before Civil War. Think Andrew Jackson and on), the South was somewhat of what we might call a Victorian era. It wasn’t “industry” dominated (and I don’t mean heavy industry but rather textiles like what we saw in New England let’s say) but more plantations and large acres of cultivated land. It wasn’t “backwater” at all just not “modern” perhaps.
In other words, Go Bears!
North: loud @ home, typically feels under-appreciated, wears hipster unis
South: smells funny, enjoys Halloween, has a serious little-man complex
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic.
Also, like the original south, seems to have the knack at knocking off deeper and more talented teams because of good leadership…hmmm…

Here’s the rule for not getting a ticket on the highway: Take whatever the speed limit is, add 12, set your cruise control right there. Unless the speed limit is 70, in which case set the cruise on 80 — over 80 is reckless in many states.
Except in Minnesota, apparently, where Adrian Peterson got a simple speeding ticket for traveling 54 MPH over the limit. In other words, he nearly doubled the 55 MPH speed at which the government recommends one travel.

Protip: while California considers any speed over 100 MPH to be reckless driving, and thus a felony(?), Nevada does not. You can drive any speed you want in Nevada, and as long as you’re not swerving recklessly or doing something else dangerous, all it will cost you is $10 for every mile per hour you exceed the speed limit by.
I got a ticket for going 111 MPH. It was over $450. But no felony, and no points on my California license.

Charlie Strong, Florida's DC, strong candidate for Louisville job
Strong’s been the defensive coordinator at Florida since 2002, surviving the Zook-to-Meyer transition and consistently deploying top-10 defenses. This year Florida’s defense is playing at a level that probably terrifies even Strong. Improperly guided, it could accidentally conquer Canada. That he’s had to wait this long is almost inexplicable. A January interview with the Orlando Sentinel in which Strong says he believes hisinterracial marriage is a major barrier in the South goes some way towards explaining it, but surely there are places outside the Deep South that have seen Florida play defense this decade, right?
Apparently the answer is yes: Louisville. If Strong wants the job it’s his. He should want it. Louisville isn’t a glamour program, but before Steve Kragthorpe arrived to lay waste, the Cardinals had launched themselves into national prominence and launched two coaches to bigger things with consistent success. They can compete in recruiting and facilities with anyone in the Big East. Louisville is unlike a lot of the jobs currently held by black guys, which tend to be at places (Eastern Michigan, Buffalo, New Mexico State) that probably shouldn’t even have programs.

Maybe the fact that he keeps interviewing for head coaching jobs is a hint.
He was a strong candidate at Cal when Tedford got hired. After Marvin Lewis bailed, Tedford was the next choice but I believe Strong was right behind him if memory serves.
