DBD 3.3.09 Digger Phelps: The State Or Condition Of Being Excellent

PrintMany of you have heard of this Digger Phelps character. Stout as an ox, tall as an ox, smart as an ox, pretty as a fairly attractive, yet still demure ox. You might have heard of him as some broadcaster or the world's foremost expert on matching neon colors. Those are all great attributes of the Man Called Digger. He also enjoys white noise, because Digger Phelps is nothing, if not a theoretical construction.
But few know the true story of Digger Phelps. The real story. The true story. Or even the real story.
Let's start from as good a place as any to start: the start.
Digger Phelps was born in the 1700s to an old shoe maid and her hot Latino lover, Jose Jose. Born originally as Jose Jose Jr., Digger Phelps changed his name to Digger Phelps after he won a lucrative contract with the most prestigious job available in the pre-America New World. Digging was all the rage back then, followed by dying of consumption and owning slaves. I guess, in theory, he came very close to being called Consumption Phelps. What a terrible name that'd be! That's like being called Rishi. BUT WORSE!
He was then appointed to lead the Continental Congress against the British is 1784 wherein he negotiated with Congress, the colonial states, and french allies, he held together a tenuous army and a fragile nation amid the threats of disintegration and failure. He also totally rocked on the fife. He was a kick ass fifest back in the day. His band Jefferson Covered Wagon was one of the hottest fife-related bands in all of colonial America. Nobody could out-fife him even on the fifeingest day of their life with an electried fife machine. Although, to be fair, given that it was the 1700s, electric fife machines didn't exist. Or electricity. Yknow, to be fair.
Here is a photo of him inspiring the Revolutionaries to throw off the British yoke. Also, to match their pantaloons to their highlighters.
"Jump up, jump up and jump down. Jump! Jump!"
(Thanks to CalBandGreat for any and all photos)
You'd think that accomplishing that would be enough. But, no, you are an idiot. You giant, giant, idiot. Because then Digger took it up a notch. He brought the noise. He brought the funk. He freed the slaves! He freed the shit out of those slaves. He freed them so hard, it somehow saved the union. Which is great, because America would be nothing without the South. How else would we buy chicken from gas stations or zone strip clubs next to churches? He then attempted to make it rain at his local church, but found it more difficult to deal with the United States Of Fat Joe. So, that lesser known phase in abolitionist history died a quiet death.
Without Digger Phelps, we also wouldn't have that sweet Stovetop Hat fashion that rages so strongly these days. Who could hat on the Stovetop hat? Especially when you see Kanye rocking one, along with that great monocle he rocks. Could the comically oversized monocle be the next big thing? I certainly think so! And when have I ever been wrong on fashion. Ever.
The stovetop hat became so popular, it eventually killed American President William Henry Harrison after only 30 days. It also killed Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman, but don't tell anybody about that.
"Ok, give me a whole lot of confederate money, we can just make it rain with this all night long."
So, you think being the man who both birthed and saved America would be enough? No, he had to take his show on the road. He'd fought Britain before, he said "LET'S DO THIS THING! AND THIS TIME LET'S DO IT AFTER LOSING 100 POUNDS!" So, going undercover as a street-wise gutter punk, he got his cotton, he got his salt marchers, and he challenged the British to a Swaraj-off. SWARAJ-OFF! IT'S A SWARAJ-OFF! He swarajed like he'd never swarajed before. And believe me, nobody has ever swarajed like Digger Phelps. Not even Swaraj Jones. And that is a guy who has been caught swarajing a time or two.
Plus (!), salted cotton was this centuries' stove top hat! Except less delicious.
Plus (again!) (!), he covered his bald head in oil and rubbed it all over women for sexual pleasure. Ok, thats merely a Seinfeldian fabrication, but Digger Phelps did sleep (merely sleep) next to teenaged women to test his purity. That Digger Phelps, he so non-kinky!
"I have to go collect some teenage girls for Brahmacharya"
But his awesomeness could never be contained in America. It could never be contained in India. He couldn't just fight the British or the South. Or even America's stupidest president, William Henry Harrison.
He had to fight the greatest fight of them all. Against the Soviets and, also, gravity. Because, as noted nuclear physicist Yakov Smirnoff noted, "In Soviet Russia, interception throws Nate Longshore!"
So, Digger Phelps did what any 200 year old American uber-hunk would do. He went to the moon. Bang zoom! Up there, he planted the American flag, nailed one of "In Living Color's" fly girl (not JLo), and then nailed JLo. All while wearing a stovetop hat. That's hot.
"One small step for man, one great dance move to Earth, Wind, & Fire"
You'd think that Phelps had truly accomplished a lot. Created this great nation and then saved it again. Started an enduring fashion statement and then one upped it with one of the most delicious fabrics of all time. Literally slept with teenage women Mohatma Ghandi-style. Explored far away places and then totes nailed JLo.
But he hadn't done shit before now. He hadn't done anything. He hadn't done LESS than anything. He'd almost had a negative impact on the world. Especially before THIS awesomeness. Watch that video again and tell me he didn't just change the world. Think Obama's historic? Well, calm down there Rishi, because Digger is like 1,000 times more historic. Plus, Rush Limbaugh only wants Digger to succeed. Don't believe me that this is the seminal moment in our world's ever changing tableu of historic white man overbite? Read some of the great reviews of Digger's most recent world-changing event.
That was the first time probably someone actually wanted to dance with those Cal women.
I believe old Digger will die alone.
I’m actually embarrassed for him.
With rave reviews like that, there's only one thing we could do. We've decided to award Digger Phelps the First Annual California Golden Blogs Award For Outstanding Achievement In The Field Of Excellence. Or as others have taken to calling it, The Nobel Totes Chill Like Fuck Prize!
"Webster's dictionary defines excellence as the "the state or condition of being excellent." And now the winner of the First Annual California Golden Blogs Award For Outstanding Achievement In The Field Of Excellence......DIGGER PHELPS!"
Because if there's one thing Cal knows about, it's Nobel winners. And Brahmacharya.
So, take a moment to congratulate Digger Phelps next time you see him. He's earned it. Just don't slap his back too hard, he suffers from osteoporosis. Osteoporosis and, in a strange twist of fate, Digger Phelps Disease. Why him?!?!
Coach Montgomery named finalist for Iba Award:
BERKELEY - California head coach Mike Montgomery has been named a finalist for the 2009 Henry Iba Award, as announced today by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association, to be presented to the association's national coach of the year.
The Henry Iba Award is awarded to the USBWA's Coach of the Year. The award has also been presented since 1959 and is named for the legendary Oklahoma State coach.
The presentation of this year's award will take place on Friday, April 3, at the USBWA's annual awards breakfast at the downtown Detroit Athletic Club in conjunction with the men's Final Four. The breakfast will also honor the winner of the Oscar Robertson Trophy, the association's player of the year, as well as the 1979 Michigan State national championship team that was led by Earvin "Magic" Johnson.
The Henry Iba Award is voted on by the entire membership of the association, which consists of nearly 800 journalists. The ballot will be distributed to the membership later today.
In his first year as head coach at Cal, Montgomery became the third consecutive Cal coach to reach 20 wins in his first season. The Golden Bears' 10-6 Pac-10 record is already a major improvement over both the 2007 and '08 seasons with two contests still to play. The Bears were 6-12 in league action the past two years. Cal, now 16-2 at home, has its most wins at Haas Pavilion since the Bears went 17-1 in 2001-02. The mark is a significant improvement over the last two seasons when the Bears combined to go 19-15 in Berkeley.
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.

Baseball unlikely to play against USF tomorrow:
BERKELEY, CALIF. – Weather permitting the University of California baseball team will host Bay Area opponent San Francisco on Tuesday, March 3 at 1:30 p.m. at Evans Diamond. The Golden Bears are 6-2 overall and have won five straight games, including sweeping Long Beach State (11-8, 9-6, 6-3) last weekend in Long Beach. USF is 3-6 on the year after winning one of four games last week at UC Riverside.
The Bears’ sweep at Long Beach State was the first road sweep for Cal since sweeping Long Beach State Feb. 18-20, 2005. The Bears swept the then No. 5-ranked 49ers last year at Evans Diamond (6-1, 10-6, 4-3) March 28-30.
Junior center fielder Brett Jackson, a first-team preseason All-American in Baseball America, currently leads Cal with a .429 average (15-for-35, 5th in Pac-10) with six doubles (1st in Pac-10) and five RBI. Freshman left fielder Danny Oh, who hit a two-run homer in his first college at-bat in Cal’s 8-7 season-opening win over UC Riverside, is second on the team with a .423 average (7th in Pac-10) with a double, triple and a team-high eight RBI (7th in Pac-10).
The Bears have an impressive .324 team batting average (1st in the Pac-10) and 3.50 team ERA (3rd in the Pac-10). Freshman right-hander Erik Johnson has already recorded three saves (1st in Pac-10) in Cal’s first eight games. Johnson also has earned a win and has seven strikeouts in 5.0 innings. In the Bears’ six wins this season, six different pitchers have picked up the wins, with only one of the pitchers, freshman right-hander Matt Flemer, being the starting pitcher.

Q+A with Coral Kemp:
BERKELEY – With 15 wins under its belt, the California women’s water polo team is off to its best start since the 2000 season. The Golden Bears recently hosted their first home game against USC on Feb. 28, which gave sophomore utility Coral Kemp a chance to demonstrate her vocals by singing the national anthem before the game. Kemp, who hails from El Segundo, Calif., scored one goal last year as one of the only true freshmen on the squad. Kemp has already notched 16 goals, including four multi-goal performances. CalBears.com took some time to learn about Kemp’s background, which is rich in water polo and Cal history.
CalBears.com: Your dad, Kelly, is an inductee in the USA Water Polo Hall of Fame as a coach, did he get you started playing water polo?
Coral Kemp: “Well, yeah! He was my first and definitely favorite coach growing up. When it comes to water polo, I’m pretty sure he’s my number one fan, besides Mom and the grandparents. In my opinion, he’s always been gifted when it comes to explaining the game and that’s what makes him a great coach.”
CalBears.com: Your grandparents, Parker and Margaret Kemp, both graduated from Cal, did that influence your decision to come to Cal?
CK: “As much as I’d like to say, `No! It was completely my choice! I’m the brains behind the operation!’ There are actually a few people who were inspirational in my choosing Berkeley. If my Grandma and Rich Corso hadn’t talked up Berkeley so much, who knows what I would have done! And it’s certainly a plus to please the grandparents.”
CalBears.com: What is the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
CK: “Trust in the Lord in everything you do.”

Arizona’s Jordan Hill has a severely sprained ankle but will still play against Cal on thursday. Watch for crucial interceptions to be thrown late in the game.
"He said one of the worst ankle sprains he’s had," teammate Chase Budinger told reporters on Monday in Tucson. "He said it swelled up pretty bad (Sunday) but he said he did a lot of treatment for a long period of time and he’s doing the same thing today."
"It’s a bad sprained ankle," interim coach Russ Pennell said. "I’ve talked with our training staff, and treatment’s going really well. Like with all of our injuries, I hope (Hill is) ready to go on Thursday."
Hill, who ranks second in the Pac-10 in scoring (18.2 ppg) and rebounding (11.0), suffered the ankle sprain in the second half of the Wildcats’ loss at Washington on Saturday. He returned and scored six points in the final 3 minutes of the game.
"He was hurting — you could see him limping up and down the court — but he was still productive," Pennell said. "He still hit some shots and still did this thing. I think that was a big statement to our team, that `I may not be at my best, I may be hurting, but I’ll give you what I have.’ "
"After review, it has been determined that the previous play was not reviewable"
The Pac-10: where quality officiating happens.
I would test him in the early minutes and see if he has any drive to the basket. If not, I’d play zone as much as I could and force him to take jumpers.

And what Montgomery and his players had to say about UCLA
“UCLA has a tremendous amount of poise,” Cal coach Mike Montgomery said. “You can say, ‘We did this and we didn’t do that,’ but UCLA just has a knack for winning those games. We’ve got to combine our effort with some cerebral play and find a way to win games like that.” […]
“It just shows you the character of their team,” said Patrick Christopher, who had 16 points and five rebounds. “They play so well together. Those guys know how to win.”Comments like that sure makes me want to root for those guys when they take on other teams. I think having a classy coach like Monty around Pac-10 is going to be huge for this conference. I am looking forward to more UCLA-Cal games in the coming years because I think if Monty gets some players this game will rival any high glamour game from the ACC or the Big East.
I think my eyes are bleeding

O-Cab / BoCro / Garciaparra and, yes, Renteria
O-Cab signed with the A’s yesterday for 1 yr/4M, more than 50% less than Renteria got from the Giants (these two don’t like each other). Rosenthal’s reporting that Garciaparra is going to play this year and will soon sign with the A’s and be a backup at the corners. Crosby wants to be traded but the A’s couldn’t even give him away earlier in the offseason. Indeed, the A’s aquired more offense this offseason than the Giants as John Shea points out:
The A’s have added 65 home runs and 241 RBIs (based on last year’s numbers). The Giants have added 10 homers and 55 RBIs. The A’s can use several new combinations of 3-4-5 hitters – don’t forget Jack Cust and a chance for an Eric Chavez rebirth – and the Giants have the same middle-of-the-order guys, with the bonus of Pablo Sandoval for a full season.

I keep on forgetting they were in LA. But I’d think most East Bay people were Raiders fans when they were in Oakland from 1960-1983.

1960-1981
The fact the Raiders abandoned Oakland in 1981 is significant, because was also the first year the 49ers won the Superbowl. I was a Raiders fan in the Kenny Stabler days. But when Al Davis said FU to Oakland, I said FU to Davis and the Raiders, and became a 49ers fan. That transition was made much easier by Joe Montana and a Superbowl win!
A’s / Niners mix. I was born in ‘82…al davis gave the entire E. Bay the bird so my parents, who went to Cal and attended A’s games as well as Raider games with Daryle Lamonica and Kenny Stabler, decided it was the Niners or bust in the carp household. We went to Giants games too, since I love all things baseball, but the Green & Gold is where it’s at as the ’89 Series demonstrated.
My grandpa remained a raiders fan until he passed, no matter what Al Davis did.

Portland the most unhappy city?
Strange…I thought Portlanders generally like their city.
According to the magazine’s rankings, Portlanders were even more unhappy than those in living in unhappy cities like Detroit, Las Vegas, and New Orleans.
"We gave most emphasis to suicide and depression rates, crime, and economic factors," writes Prashant Gopal in the story.
According to the article, Portland fared worst of the cities measured due to high depression and suicide rates.
The story cites a 71% year-to-year jump in calls to Oregon’s suicide and drug and alcohol helpline. The suicide data, according to the article, were five years old.
The northwest has a much higher than average suicide rate. Some people correlate it to the lack of sunshine. Seriously.
I think it is because they lived in Portland for so long, and they tried a Bud Light – That and they realized Starbucks is not good coffee after all.
It's spelled "S-H-U-G-S-A-R-E-F-O-R-T-H-U-G-S""
That is crazy! Well I guess they have the Trail Blazzers. Thats enough to make you sad and depressed.

Ted Miller rates Pac-10 tight ends. Cal gets a “we’ll see.”
California: Cameron Morrah, the Bears second-leading receiver, surprised many when he opted to enter the NFL draft a year early. That was a hit. But backup Tad Smith is a good blocker — just three receptions in 2008 — and many are high on sophomore Anthony Miller, who caught the winning touchdowns pass in the Emerald Bowl victory over Miami (though that was his only reception of the season).

so, after a year or two of seasoning/learning the offense, do you think one of these guys could pass Bridgford, Sweeney, and/or Mansion? I don’t think we’ve had a year where a really talented youngster completely surpasses the more experienced vet.

Too tough to say… I mean.. Riley was obviously ready to play in his 2nd year in the program (Reed had been passed on the depth chart and left)
I think our QBs will always be in the system awhile until they see experience

is this a good thing, or just a product of Tedford’s conservative traits? Obviously, it places a veteran at QB but it forgoes the opportunity to see what underclassmen can do in real gams. Best and maybe even Vereen and Slocum were better than Monty and Monty left as a RS sophomore. QB, of course, is certainly different than other positions. However, other major college programs have gone with a RS freshman or sophomores before. Should we be REALLY open* to that?
*I like that Tedford says the QB position is open, but the qualities that distinguish the # 1 QB in Tedford’s eyes favors the more experienced guy. Therefore, there would have to be a significant talent AND huddle/LOS/leadership command for Tedford to give it to the underclassman.

I think the coaching staff is going to put the best guy out there, no matter the age, class, whatever… We saw this with Riley leapfrogging Reed and Longshore starting over Ayoob
I don’t know if you can really say that veterans are favored. I think the best guys in practice have earned their spots and played…. it’s not like we’ve had years and years of Tedford at Cal to make such judgments about who he favors at QB

i don’t mean veterans = free pass or Tedford automatic bias…I just mean that Tedford really likes qualities that veterans typically excel at whereas guys like Mansion look like deer in the headlights. It would have to take considerably better talent (something that I think Heaps and perhaps Hinder have) to surpass command of the huddle/LOS (reading defenses and audibles) as well as knowing when to run/throw the ball away/take the sack.

I agree that it would take considerably better talent, but I don’t know if Heaps or Hinder have considerably better talent than Brock Mansion as a RSJr… Heaps is a wildcard in that regard, but Hinder has a lot of the same characteristics as Mansion, just maybe a tad more polished at this point

Miller comments:
While much of that might not be right up the 61-year-old Alderson’s alley, he would bring a decidedly different skill set to the job than an individual emerging from a college athletics background.
Whenever folks complained about the bowl and TV arrangements and the Pac-10’s resistance to a playoff during Hansen’s administration, the blame ultimately fell on the university presidents. Hansen was merely doing their bidding, and the presidents didn’t want change or were resistant to the commercialization of college sports.
What Alderson — or another executive from a similar non-college background — might bring to the job is an ability to pitch the presidents, to win their confidence and change their thinking.
It won’t be easy. As the job description says, “the relative geographic isolation” of the Pac-10 includes many obstacles that other conferences, particularly the Big Ten and SEC, don’t face.
Moreover, making changes is going to take investment. There isn’t a lot of that around these days, whether the enterprise is bowl games or television deals.
Still, what Alderson’s candidacy reveals is a willingness to look outside the insular world of college sports for an leader who might be able to not only introduce new ideas but also possesses the wherewithal to make them happen.

A VERY PROMISING POST AT ESPN
You can make a strong argument that Serra (Gardena, Calif.) athlete Robert Woods is the top recruit in the West region for the Class of 2010, and a top 10 player nationally. Not many players have the ability to rank as the state’s top player at three different positions but Woods could be the top in-state prospect at receiver, corner and safety.
Woods will attend the NIKE Camp at USC in April and on his questionnaire form, listed Cal as his top choice followed by UCLA, LSU, USC and Florida. Are the Bears really at the top of his board right now?
A week after raving about UCLA’s junior day, Oaks Christian (Westlake Village, Calif.) offensive lineman Erik Kohler had an equally glowing report about his Junior Day experience at Cal.

some speculation
I have no idea, you are always told to stay with the boat in that situation. Perhaps, they tried to take a dinghy back, or they were swept overboard by a big wave. I seriously doubt they tried to swim, as swimming in 6-10 ft surf with a life jacket on is rather difficult. In any case, it doesn’t look good.

Having been capsized once myself, and not in the bathtub, once you leave the boat unwillingly there’s pretty much no chance to get back to it if you’re in 15 foot sweels. Not sure what these guys were thinking as far as increasing their chances of survival before they flipped….you would assume they were wearing life jackets but in 62 degree water you need to find some debris or something to float on top of, otherwise you’re not going to survive the hypothermia no matter how good of an athlete or swimmer you are.

Stewart or Gerhart?
Who do you believe will be starting the backfield next season for the Furd?
This is a big spring for Jeremy Stewart. With Toby Gerhart roaming the outfield for the baseball team, Stewart sits atop the Cardinal’s depth chart.
“It is obvious this is a big spring for me and everyone knows that,” Stewart said. “I want to establish myself as a starting running back in case Toby doesn’t come back. We don’t know what he is going to do right now. So I just take every day and try to get better, make sure I am up to starting running back caliber playing in the Pac-10.”
.
Stewart already has been a starting Pac-10 tailback – as a true freshman in 2007. Injuries to Gerhart and Anthony Kimble thrust Stewart into the starting role. The Baton Rouge, La., native started four of the final five games.
Stewart finished 2007 with 343 yards rushing with two touchdowns. He had a career-high 70 yards on 24 carries in the season-finale win over Cal in the Big Game.
I’ll file this under the “Who gives a fuck?” category
Robert Woods Anthony Jefferson Robert Woods Anthony Jefferson Robert Woods Anthony Jefferson Robert Woods Anthony Jefferson Robert Woods Anthony Jefferson
But 2008 saw Gerhart have a breakthrough season, setting a single-season Stanford record with more 1,110 yards.
Wow…our single-season record is almost double theirs.

As I understand it, it's felt to be quite likely

Something I'm not too knowledgeable about...
Usually, (as in ‘what the case is in the SEC’) players are often asked to grayshirt, and since these signings are done knowing full well that a kid is a longshot to qualify, the math often works out. Coaches tend to steer borderline players to JUCOs, which have an unspoken agreement to steer the kid back to the original school.

We have practices Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. Today, for instance, we did conditioning down on the field, and we’ll do the same thing early Friday morning.

Yeah, of course. The coaches head back after conditioning is done, while some of the guys stick around and throw the ball around and run some plays. Not anything formal.
Alright, fine, I admit it! "Hydration Technician" really DOES just mean "water boy!"

One of the things I’m most curious about for next year is who will step up to become leaders on the team since we lose Follett, Williams, WIll T, Rulon, Nasty Nate, basically all of the veteran leadership on the team. Do you get a sense of who these guys may be from drills and weight room workouts

I can’t say I’ve gotten a great sense of that so far. I feel like Eddie Young, maybe, as one of the defensive veterans, and Kevin or Brock, whichever wins the starting job should be capable leaders. Its sort of interesting, because some of our stars on offense and defense, like Jahvid and Syd’Quan, are great guys, but they are so quiet that they aren’t really leadership type guys.

Yeah, I’ve heard the same thing from JO and other stories… It is one of the biggest things about next year: how are they going to handle adversity

Is it just me or do we need a running column:
“What Did giantfan5 See Today”
TwistNHook will compensate you

perhaps GiantFan5 can give us updates by doing DBDs or something?
I rec people.

Sure, I’ll provide any interesting updates. Hopefully things will get a bit more interesting when spring ball starts. Not that its been boring to this point, but practices should be more intense in a couple weeks.
I kind of wish could change my handle…I made it mostly for joining McCovey Chronicles, and it doesn’t make quite as much sense in the CGB context…

and ‘TwistNHook’ does?

No, but it’s easily shortened to “Twist,” which is convenient. And how come my posts are rec’d all of a sudden?

Rec’d!
I'm Fijian. Yes, the water is like that.

Because you’re a Giants fan and you’re the greatest of all time? Yes!

That’s rather disappointing. I was going to go with the assumption that all of my posts were automatically rec’d, so I could say something as simple as “Nailed It” and it would be rec’d. I could dominate the DBD’s, since people would stop and read all my green comments

It does. TwistNHook was Marshawn and his family gang sign. With the index finger twisted over the middle finger and the 4th and 5th finger curled in.
god you suck at UC Cal!
