DBD 4/2/09 I hate Ty Lawson's Big Toe, the A's Medical Staff, and Pavlov's Dogs

PrintSo a few weeks back before the NCAA tourney started, there was a big question mark over whether Ty Lawson's toe would be healthy enough for him to play. I'm not going to bother with lots of links, but basically his toe was possibly going to be healed in time for the ACC tourney. But it wasn't. Then everyone speculated that it had to be healthy enough for the first game of the NCAA tourney. But come one day before th tourney started, things were looking bleak and NC Coach Roy Williams said Lawson was still not able to practice and still having swelling issues . . . So I did the "smart thing" and counted on Lawson being sidelined for the rest of his career and unable to compete even in a pickup game ten years from now. Last minute, I changed my tourney winner from NC to Louisville thinking I would "outsmart" everyone. Well, we all know how that pick worked out and now Lawson is making all the difference for the NC team.
In three subsequent games, Lawson has proven just how necessary he is to North Carolina's national championship hopes. <!-- END google ads --> <!-- END rail --> He dissected LSU in the second round and followed up by earning most outstanding player honors at the South Regional, where the Tar Heels dispatched Gonzaga and Oklahoma to advance to their record 18th Final Four, one better than UCLA.
Now I'm not even in the top 30 on our Tourney Pick 'Em. So much for my "smart choice." But it got me thinking as to why I counted Lawson out forever and it was pretty obvious: Pavlov's Dogs.
Anyway, here is what Pavlov's Dogs looks like to me most recently:
That's right. Larry Davis the former head of the A's Medical staff. . . Any A's fan will know the drill and know it well over the last several years. Small injury; day-to-day, turns into season ending or career ending injury. It happened too many times for me to count: Mulder's "strain" that would sideline him one start but turned out to be a fracture in his hip that has by all accounts destroyed his career; Hudson's oblique forcing him to walk off the Field in the ALDS against the BoSox; Harden's shoulder time and time again; Bradley's knee; Chavez' back; Chavez shoulder; Duke's elbow. The list goes on and on, and the common thread among all these injuries was that they were always pronounced as minor day-to-day injuries which would not limit the player for very long. LIES A's Medical Staff! DAMN LIES!
So you see, I got used to being lied to. You might as well call me Dmitri or Sergei and tell me to fetch becaue I just got used to it. So that's why I picked Louisville over NC in the National Title game. Because of Ty Lawson's big ass toe, the A's doctors, and some russian dogs.
So if you could change just one of your picks, which would it be?

Tim Floyd to be named U of A BBall Coach
Tim Floyd will be named basketball coach at Arizona, Mark Asher of Sports 620 KTAR, ESPN's radio affiliate in Phoenix, is reporting according to multiple sources.
Honestly, this hire doesn't scare me at all. To me Floyd is a middle of the Pac coach. When I heard rumors that Oklahoma's Jeff Caple was in the running, I was worried because I think Caple is on the verge of becoming a great coach. Tim Floyd . . . not so much.

I originally picked Memphis to win it all (then their defense decided not to show up), so I would naturally want to pick against them if I could change any one pick in my bracket. I was up to 12th before they lost, but am still going strong at 22nd. I’d take UConn through to the championship if I could revise that Memphis choice.
Ted Miller was in Berkeley to see what has been happening at practice
Receiver? Everyone is back, so this will be a far more seasoned group than 2008. And there are new names — youngsters and players returning from injuries — making the list of potential contributors long.
Nyan Boateng, Verran Tucker and Jeremy Ross top the list, but it seems like everyone has a favorite to add to the mix.
Sophomore Marvin Jones? “He’s a guy if you ask who stood out the first week, it was Marvin Jones,” Tedford said.
Mansion praised sophomore Alex Lagemann, who also earned a note from Tedford. A couple of practice kibitzers expressed esteem for redshirt freshman Charles Satchell. Sophomore Michael Calvin, who’s sitting out spring while still recovering from a knee injury that ended his 2008 season, might be the most talented of the lot.
Ludwig, meanwhile, gushed about the depth and athleticism at tight end.
Ludwig likes to talk about playing “pitch and catch.” The Bears didn’t do that very well last year, ranking seventh in the Pac-10 and 83rd in the nation in passing.
There seems to be plenty of catchers. The issue that likely will decide if Cal is a top-10 team is the pitcher.
Some other notes:
Tedford’s special project with Riley during the offseason was shortening the junior’s throwing motion. After watching film of 2008, Tedford said that as the season wore on Riley developed a bigger wind-up that hurt his passing accuracy.
Whose domicile? OUR DOMICILE!
please, Tedford, turn K Riley into K Boller or A Rodgers. That would be awesome!
Heaps and Hinder...come on down!
preferably A Rodgers
Still happy over the fact that the Nets signed Ryan Anderson. Now if only they can sign Leon Powe after this year...
I had UConn winning it in my first bracket, then wussed out and changed to Louisville
I also had Gonzaga upsetting a Lawson-less UNC. Awesome.

That didn’t work out so well.

Dana Vollmer is an amazing swimmer:
BERKELEY – Senior swimmer Dana Vollmer, who won a pair of individual NCAA title while leading Cal to the national team championships, has been chosen as the country’s top collegiate female athlete in swimming & diving. The honor was based on the results of national balloting among 1,000 NCAA member schools as part of the Collegiate Women Sports Awards program, now in its 33rd year.
Vollmer’s victory will earn her the 2009 Honda Sports Award for swimming & diving, given annually to the top women athletes in 12 NCAA-sanctioned sports, along with automatic nomination for the Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year. Vollmer was previously nominated for the Honda Sports Award for swimming & diving in 2007, and she is the third athlete from Cal to win it. The other winners, both of whom received the award twice, are Mary T. Meagher (1985, ’87) and Natalie Coughlin (2002, ’03). Vollmer was voted over three other nominees: Julia Smit, a junior at Stanford; Rebecca Soni, a USC senior; and Gemma Spofforth, a junior at Florida. All four nominees were selected by the All-American Selection Committee.

Ashley walker named USWBA All-American:
The U.S. Basketball Writers Association has chosen the recipients of its 2008-09 women’s postseason honors, naming Golden Bear senior forward to its 11-member All-American team.
The U.S. Basketball Writers Association, formed in 1956, has named a women’s All-America team since the 1996-97 season. The association has also named a national player of the year since 1987-88 and a national coach of the year since 1989-90. There were 11 players named to the team this season instead of the normal 10 due to a tie in the voting.
The award is the fourth career All-American honor for Walker, but the first time she has been named to a post-season first-team. She was named a Third-Team All-American earlier this week by the Associated Press. She was a Sports Illustrated Second Team selection last season and was a pre-season Sporting News First Team All-American this year. Walker was previously a two-time honorable mention for AP All-American and an honorable mention for WBCA All-American last year.
This is the first time a Cal Bear has earned All-American honors from the USBWA.

Womens lacrosse crushes St. Mary’s
BERKELEY – California scored a school-record 22 goals to rout MPSF foe Saint Mary’s, 22-13, on Wednesday at Memorial Stadium. Cal senior attacker Sam Price led all scorers with seven points (4 goals, 3 assists). Five Golden Bears – senior attacker Sam Price, junior midfielder Alex Tickner, junior midfielder Alyse Kennedy, freshman midfielder Vail Horn and senior attacker Elizabeth T Jahp – scored hat tricks, with Price scoring four goals and tallying three assists to lead all scorers with seven points. The Bears improved their record to 5-8 (3-1 MPSF) and snapped a five-game losing streak with the victory. Saint Mary’s fell to 1-8 (0-4 MPSF).
Price tied her personal scoring record of seven points set in Cal’s season-opening 19-0 win on Feb. 7 at Fresno State. She also tallied four goals and three assists against the Bulldogs. That seven-point total ties her for fifth place on Cal’s all-time single-game scoring list.
The Bears’ previous team goal-scoring record was 21, set in a 21-10 win over UC Davis on April 5, 2008, in Davis, Calif.

Baseball loses to Long Beach State:
BERKELEY, CALIF. – Trailing only 6-4, the California baseball team yielded eight runs in the seventh inning and went on to fall to Long Beach State, 19-7, Wednesday afternoon at Evans Diamond. Earlier this season, the Golden Bears had swept the 49ers (11-8, 9-6, 6-3) Feb. 27-March 1 in Long Beach. The Golden Bears dipped to 15-11 and Long Beach State even its record to 12-12. Cal did have some offensive highlights, however, as junior first baseman Blake Smith and sophomore right fielder Mark Canha hit back-to-back home runs to lead-off the third inning, and junior center fielder Brett Jackson hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning.
The losing pitcher for Cal was sophomore right-hander Yasser Clor (3-1, 2.0 innings, six hits, five runs, three walks, two strikeouts), who lost his first game of the year. Long Beach State’s T.J. Mittelstaedt went 4-for-5 with two doubles, a home run and six RBI. Canha and sophomore left fielder Dwight Tanaka hit doubles for the Bears, while Smith hit his second home run in as many days. Both Canha and sophomore designated hitter Brian Guinn extended their hitting streaks to 14 games.
Cal will next return to Pac-10 play when they travel to Corvallis, Ore. for a three-game conference series versus the Beavers, beginning Friday, April 3 at 5 p.m. at Coleman Field/Goss Stadium.

Track and Field at Sac Invite this week:
This Week
California makes a short trip to Sacramento this week for the Sacramento State Elite Invitational on Saturday, April 4, on the Sacramento State campus. The Invitational kicks off with the women’s hammer at 10 a.m. The running events begin at 12:30 p.m. with the women’s 5,000 meters. Cal added 10 NCAA regional qualifiers last weekend at Stanford Invitational, and now has 19 on the season. The Cal men are ranked No. 21 in the USTFCCCA preseason rankings.
Last Time Out: Stanford Invitational and UC Davis Multis
At last weekend’s Stanford Invitational, junior Yosef Ghebray clocked in at 28:32.27 in the 10,000 to set the school record, surpassing Girmay Guangul’s time of 29:17.78. Ghebray’s time was also an NCAA automatic-qualifying time. Sophomore Cherrelle Garrett won both the 100 and the 200, and set regional-qualifying times in both those events. In the 200, Garrett clocked a personal-best time of 23.63, just shy of fifth on Cal’s all-time career list (23.62).
Sophomore Kyle Mills-Bunje and freshman Kevin Kuechler also competed in the UC Davis Multis last week. Mills-Bunje set a new personal best in the event with a final score of 6,778 points and placed third overall. Current Cal volunteer assistant coach, Mark Jellison, won the event with 7,274 points.

Capel on the verge of being a great coach?
I couldn’t disagree more. He is riding the Blake Griffin train (a player he did not recruit) all the way to the bank. There is minimal talent on Zero U outside of BK and the reason they did so well is that it was a down year in the Big 12 and the nation. He has yet to prove he can out recruit or out coach anyone yet, IMO.
He’s young so he can get better but he hasn’t shown me a thing yet.
That said, the Arizona hire of Floyd is puzzling as well. Doesn’t strike me as a terribly good fit.
Joe Starkey...Scholar, Humanitarian, Cal legend, worst radio play by play man of all time.
Hmm, I thought he did recruit Griffin
given that Griffin came into OU during Caple’s second year at OU. Are you saying Sampson recruited him, or one of his assistants?
You are right, Capel did get him. Still don’t think he is much of a recruiter considering his brother was already on the team and he was local.

It will be enough to stay in the top half of the conference, perhaps, but there’s no way Floyd comes close to the level of excellence that Lute Olson consistently achieved.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
I have 2 years of eligibility left and I can shoot the 3…
my “to the rim” game is lacking, without a step ladder.
Heaps and Hinder...come on down!
I have always been a pretty big Floyd fan. I think he is at least as good in game as Lute was, and is the type of relentless recruiter that Arizona needs to jumpstart their program. The way he works the AAU circuit, he could easily land a few huge guys within his first few years and they will be right back to where they were 4 years ago as a program (but not back to where they were 8 years ago).
I actually am more surprised that Floyd would leave USC for Arizona. I guess it must be a money thing, but with the Galen center and the requirement that players play one year (which may be raised to two years) it seems to me that LA offers some huge advantages.
I see no reason why if you thought that Caple would go to Arizona, why he wouldn’t go to USC assuming they could come up with the money. There is no doubt in my mind that it is a better job than Oklahoma. I’m not really convinced that Caple is that great, and certainly not a guy that who scare me. What does scare me is USC taking this as a slight (which it is) and breaking out their wallet to get a guy who does scare me (Few perhaps. I would have said Mike Anderson, but he apparently just inked a new deal.) But if I had to guess, I think Randy Bennett would end up at USC (CA experience, definitely wants to leave St. Mary’s after they were left out of the tourney.)

I don't think Floyd is that good in game
plus he’s a little crazy. And there’s definitely a chance that all of these alleged recruiting violations are true and that he’ll eventually get busted for it.
Few doesn’t really scare me, I think Gonzaga has been pretty overrated in the last 7 or 8 years save for the Adam Morrison team that SHOULD have beaten ucla. Randy Bennett might be good, Mike Anderson would have definitely been scary, Jamie Dixon would have scared me at Arizona a lot more than Floyd, and I’m not sure who usc is going to take a run at.
Realistically, with Bennett out at WSU, and Floyd in at Arizona instead of some really heavy hitters they might have wooed, unless usc comes up with a significant upgrade to Floyd, the Pac-10 coaches seem weaker on the whole.
www.californiagoldenblogs.com
I have no doubt that Floyd has committed numerous major recruiting violations
The question, or should I say the problem, is nailing him. Usually coaches only get nailed when their hubris becomes so great that they think they’re invincible. Don’t think he’s reached that point yet.
Many years from now, when his name's recalled
Everyone will say, "He should have passed the ball"
-- Al Stewart, "Football Hero"
I haven't heard Caple's name connected with USC
but did hear it in connection with UofA. But if he goes to USC I guess that sux too. I’d be much happier if every Pac 10 school hired someone like Buddy Teevens as their bball coach. What’s scary now is that Jamie Dixon may be a fit for SC given that he’s from LA I believe. Andy Katz thinks that’s a possibility with Sean Miller going from Xavier to Pitt if Dixon bolts.
I actually like Dixon and thought he should have been given consideration for the Cal job.
As for Floyd, I equate him to a Steve Lavin type where the talent on his team help him escape bad seasons. Granted I believe Floyd is a better in game coach, but not that much better. His strength is in recruiting IMO. This year it was Derozan improving significantly over the last part of the season to get SC to the tourney and make the season a better one than it otherwise would have been.

Jamie Dixon is happy in Pittsburgh. But that doesn’t mean he hasn’t had at least one inquiry this spring.
Multiple sources told ESPN.com that Cal made an attempt to hire Dixon within 24 hours of firing Ben Braun. Dixon told the Bears he wanted to stay at Pitt.
Arizona State also tried to hire Dixon before Herb Sendek took the job in the spring of 2006.
There is a perception that Dixon wants to move back to the West Coast because he is from Santa Barbara and his wife is from Hawaii. In truth, he is not looking to get back there as his family thoroughly enjoys living in Pittsburgh.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
What is the specific reason people think that Floyd isn’t a good in-game coach?
I think that USC has been surprisingly competitive the last two years with HUGE roster issues.
I don't think their roster issues are huge
Let’s face it, they are more talented than us across the board and we still finished higher in the Pac. I feel they have underachieved the last couple of years compared to their talent. Sure, they’ve had injuries, but so has everyone. Sure maybe they don’t gel as well due to their 1 & done players but that’s Floyd’s recruiting philosophy.
Their point guard getting killed was very sad, and left a big hole on their roster, but it’s not like Hackett is a slouch. They have plenty of talent.
www.californiagoldenblogs.com
I think they’ve had FAR more injuries than the other teams in the conference, to be honest.
HYDROTECH IS FREE!
maybe I just don't remember
I heard the talk about how they were finally healthy at the end of the year, but I think that was overblown – the big difference was that DeRozan finally started playing like he should. If he doesn’t, we probably beat them in the first round of the Pac and their season is over
who was hurt for them this year? who was hurt last year?
www.californiagoldenblogs.com
Like who?
Recent years for Cal: Powe, Robertson, Kamp, Harrison, that Spaniard . . . who else?
I don’t remember that many injuries at SC.
My general sense is that they had a bunch of injuries, a bunch of guys leave early (lost Davon Jefferson last year along with Mayo – though this is totally Floyd’s fault.) They has have had a real lack of ballhandlers other than Hackett, only went 6 deep, lost one guy (can remember his name) to a career ending injury this season. I just saw them as a team with 6 guys who kinda did the same thing without a whole lot of variation. No real shooters, etc.
Floyd is coming back to SC, so this who debate is slightly meaningless.
Yeah :[. Tomorrow is my goal. This is a really nasty virus. It may be mono, but I don’t think it is.

KenCraw has an update on SAHPC (w/ pics!)
BWNQ has a new spring practice post:
I think this team has that makeup, but you never know. The first two guys that come to mind are Jahvid Best and Tyson Alualu. Best passed the puke and pain tests, we all know that. Alualu is the epitome of never taking a play off. Be interesting to see of the rest of the guys pick that up on each side of the ball.
The second thing is the underclassmen. The important part is not merely to “see what they can do.” It’s to see whether they are cocky and confident (and talented) enough to believe they can come in and be a force. We heard Follett talk about Kendricks like that last year, saying, “He doesn’t care who’s who. He just plays ball.” Payne seemed to earn the same praise.
This year, I’d like to see the backup corners and safeties step up – Hill, Anthony, Nabuife, Campbell. These guys are behind some good players, but they need to play like they have a shot at taking someone’s job (ok, maybe not Syd’s, but the rest of the positions are up for grabs). Here’s hoping the coaches give them a chance.
Finally, the new coaches. It is truly a relief to hear that Coach Marshall is getting up in people’s grill. As I said when they hired him and his mug shot looked like a serial killer – that is what you need in an offensive line coach. Other than Mack, Cal’s o-line has not been the nastiest unit since Philip, O’Callaghan, et al left. Some of that was Coach M’s understated style, and some was the green guys that did end up playing were basically giving it everything they had just to keep it together. But the bottom line is the offensive line sets the tone for the offense. And when Tedford’s teams dominate people up front, the rest of the team follows (no mystery there).

With Regards to the SAHPC
The steel beams are for the temporary retaining wall. They will probably pile drive them into the ground to secure the soil before excavation begins. I mentioned it a few months back but the excavation, grading, and foundation always takes forever, but the actual construction of the building should be rather quick. Another note on why seemingly little progress has been made, is the rainy season. Rules are in place to limit what can happen during rain as to ensure the safety of the workers. With the rainy season for nearly over, expect work to kick into high gear.

Not to continue to write random shit here, although I do wish to continue to write random shit, but I just remembered that once I was standing in line at the supermarket. The dude in front of me was only buying 1 thing, a home pregnancy test.
The checker was all “Congratulations???” with a tone implying confusion as to whether he was getting the test for positive or negative reasons. And he stopped, looked at her and with the most depressed tone I’ve ever heard, just said “No.”
That…………………was awkward.

I think Masoli was put in a very difficult position to start last year, and improved greatly as the season progressed. After the Berkeley game, he became pretty darn good, and not surprised to see him at #9
Walter Thurmond III, however, I think we may have a legt beef with. I remember the Oregon secondary being the weak spot on their defense last year.
They're after our precious bodily fluids
Theres also cognitive bias here. Watch the OSU game and Masoli looks like a golden god. Watch Cal and he looks like Ayoob Jr. We all remember the Cal game where he was so bad they replaced him with like 2 minutes left to put in Roper to pass pass pass pass pass.
I am the Tyrant Boy King Of UC Eugene! An endless cavalcade of worthless inanities is my currency!
www.CaliforniaGoldenBlogs.com
Well, I don’t think he was replaced entirely because he was so bad (although he was certainly not good) but also because what he does well (make defenses account for his running ability) was clearly not working, and moreover, was of no use in running the two-minute drill. Cal would’ve been perfectly willing to let Masoli break off 5-8 yards at a time and tackle him inbounds, but Oregon need 20 at a time, and for the receiver to get out of bounds. Roper gave them the best (albeit still not good) chance to do that.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
He was replaced, bc he couldnt pass. Period. To us, its confusing that the #9 player in the Pac10 cant pass. But what Im saying is that its our cognitive bias that leads us to believe that, because we saw him be completely and toadally unable to pass. I dont think he was great by the end of the season, but he certainly had improved a lot.

In that rain? No one was able to pass! (OK, we only had Longshore for comparison, but still…)

Oddly enough, Longshore was moving the ball fairly well at times. Somewhat.
Also, Roper couldnt pass either. Which shows how little Oregon respect Masoli’s arm. They put him in for somebody who failed!

Retrospectively, I wondered if perhaps the passes were incomplete because the poor field conditions (and that was a MomentumTurf FAIL! that day) made proper route-running almost impossible, leading to Masoli firing to spots on the field where the receivers never made it.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!

I can handle "speculative"
but Miller doesn’t even call it that. He says: “Ranking the Pac-10’s 30 best players.” And I would qualify his explanation for Masoli as “randomly speculative,” “unsubstantiated conjecture,” “baseless prediction.”
In a word: bullshit.

I could see your point, if you weren’t saying that Riley should be higher than Masoli, which is a joke, considering that Masoli (despite some pathetic performances), finished significantly better than Riley is just about every passing statistic.

Rooster Teeth did some commercials for Madden 2007, and in it, Dallas Clark bobbled a catch, and didn’t make the completion.

So they made a “Director’s Cut” video, where Dallas Clark made this amazing catch and run, and out ran everyone on the play. They started to praise Dallas Clark with the likes of “No man can tackle Dallas Clark!”
Then in the replay, the noticed, it was Dallas Clark that passed the ball to Dallas Clark.
And that he couldn’t settle for the 6 points, and had to kick the PAT himself.
Then later, they were shocked when Dallas Clark got tackled, only to realize that it was Dallas Clark that tackled Dallas Clark.

I’m not forgetting all the games he played – I’m saying that it wasn’t one bowl game. It was a series of 3 games – really 3.5 games due to how he played and got the W at the end of the Stanford game.
I think he’s been elevated to a status, that is unearned and unmerited. But most of you guys saw him in easily his worst game.
It’s spelled "S-h-u-f-e-l-t"
Fair enough. He’s definitely an interesting guy to consider. I mean, he had serious issues for much of the year, and then boom, learns to settle down in the pocket, make good decisions, etc. was amazing.
I think that he hit his peak during the past 3 games. It will be hard to top that. But if he can play at or near that level for a season, he’s a top 10 player.
What’s also interesting about Masoli is that he’s not prototypical for his position like Taylor Mays or Jahvid Best. He doesn’t exude a lot of physical talent, but he can throw, and he can run, and he fits the Oregon system very, very well, and runs the spread option better than any QB I’ve seen.
But he could easily be the most productive QB in the Pac-10, and I guess in Miller’s book that puts him in the top 10.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
