YO on practice:
While Jones has been Cal’s top receiver this spring, another wideout who has looked solid is Alex Lagemann. He definitely looks as though he will be in the mix to compete for playing time this fall. Lagemann has demonstrated excellent hands and good route-running ability, and has continually made plays during the spring. He is consistently getting open, and then producing when balls are coming his way.
"He’s doing a real nice job," Tedford said. "He’s giving great effort. He’s playing fast. He’s getting much more comfortable and making some really nice plays, some really nice catches."
Lagemann was considered one of the nation’s top wide receiver recruits when he came to Cal in 2007, but a broken foot, and some complications that followed, essentially sidelined him for two years. He spent an entire year getting healthy and then spent last season on the scout team.
"I always thought coming out of high school that he had that potential," Tedford said. "It was frustrating for awhile because it was a situation where he couldn’t run and it lingered on so long. It’s nice to see him back healthy."
I talked to Lagemann tonight after practice. Look for more on him later in the week.
Deputy sports editor Mike Lefkow here, with a few thoughts about former Cal football coach Bruce Snyder, whom I covered as the beat writer in his first season in 1987:
You could sense right away Snyder would turn around the program. He might not have bled blue and gold — he went to Oregon — but you had the feeling he would please those who did. By the time of Snyder’s tumultuous departure following the 1991 season, Cal was ranked No. 8 in the country and resembled the teams Jeff Tedford has now. Fast. Aggressive. Tough. Swagger. What Snyder accomplished in five short years in Berkeley should rank him among the greatest coaches ever at Cal. He took the Bears to their first New Year’s Day bowl in 32 years. Cal’s 37-13 Citrus Bowl win over Clemson on that day — Jan. 1, 1992 – was its first on New Year’s Day in 54 years. In 1990, it was Snyder’s Bears who ended an 18-game losing streak against UCLA, which may have been just as satisfying for Cal fans. OK, the Bears were 1-17 against the Bruins in that stretch from 1972-89, but the one was a forfeit in 1977 when the Bruins used an ineligible player. On the field, Cal lost that game 21-19. Remarkably, that was one of only four times Cal lost to UCLA by less than 14 points during that stretch. Tuesday at lunch, my boss and I were discussing coaches or managers we had learned from while we had been on a beat. I brought up a conversation with Snyder, when he made it a point to tell me how important it was to define your "home-run hitters" and make sure you keep the ball in their hands. Perhaps not very profound. Perhaps pretty obvious. But you know how certain points stand out years after they have been made? It was how emphatically he said it. I could go on longer about Snyder. He was a good coach and I genuinely liked the guy. When he left Cal, I always thought the school deserved the 10 years of darkness it had in football until Tedford arrived. Perhaps Snyder could have handled his departure better, but let’s not misplace the blame. Or one man’s opinion that Cal would have been to a Rose Bowl by now.
But I think Cal make a significant advance. While it may or may not show up in its record, it could show up in March.
* First, Christopher has not reached his potential. He can be the kind of playmaker who takes the pressure off Randle and beats No. 10 seeds in the first round.
* Second, both Seeley and Amoke could provide scoring options the Bears did not possess this season, especially in the lane and along the baseline.
They don’t need to become consistent 15 ppg scorers — just good enough to provide an important basket here and there as compliments to the Big Three on the perimeter
* Third, given Montgomery’s history with big men, you have to think he’ll make the 7-foot-3 Zhang into a serviceable player. And when you’re talking about 7-3, serviceable is more than enough.
* Fourth, the Bears could very well be much better on a relative scale because the Pac-10, as a whole, could be much worse.
With the top-five scorers returning from a team that finished third (and swept league champ Washington), the Bears could be the preseason favorite, especially if UCLA’s Jrue Holiday stays in the draft.
And if the Bears are two or three games better, relative to their conference peers, that could translate into a better seed in the NCAAs and a better chance to reach the second round/Sweet 16.
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.

California (5-10 overall record, 3-2 Mountain Pacific Sports Federation) hosts No. 18 Oregon (10-3, 3-1 MPSF) in the Golden Bears’ last regular-season home game at 3 p.m. on Friday, April 17, at Memorial Stadium. Before the game, Cal will honor its five seniors who will be playing in the final home game of their college careers. The five seniors are goalkeeper Morgan Dyson, defenders Ghillie Little and Stephanie Smith, midfielder/attacker Elizabeth T Jahp and attacker Sam Price.
Cal could still claim the No. 2 seed in the upcoming MPSF Women’s Lacrosse Championship Tournament at Stanford. The No. 2 seed would play Saint Mary’s (3-10, 1-4) on April 23. The Bears would have to defeat Oregon by three or more goals and need the Ducks to defeat Saint Mary’s on April 19 to create a three-way tie with a 4-2 conference record between Cal, Oregon and Denver. The tiebreaker in that scenario is goal margin in head to head games between the three teams. Since Denver defeated Cal, 11-10, and Oregon beat Denver, 11-9, Cal would have to defeat Oregon by three or more goals to finish higher than Oregon and Denver.
If Cal beats Oregon but the Ducks lose to Saint Mary’s, dropping Oregon’s MPSF record to 3-3, Cal would only be tied with Denver at 4-2 . The Pioneers would then earn the No. 2 seed and Cal would earn the No. 3 seed on the basis of the tiebreaker in that scenario – head to head competition. The No. 3 seed would play No. 7 seed Fresno State (0-9, 0-5) on April 23. If Cal loses to Oregon, the Bears would become the No. 4 seed and play fifth-seeded UC Davis on April 23.

Young Pac-10 Field athlete of the week!
BERKELEY – Junior Ryan Young was named the Pac-10 Men’s Field Athlete of the Week, as announced by the conference today. Young earned the honor after his record-setting performance last weekend in the javelin at the Jackie Joyner-Kersee Invitational. This is the first Pac-10 Track Athlete of the Week award for Cal in 2009.
Young set both the school and meet records last weekend, posting a record-setting mark of 250-10 (76.45m). Young’s mark on Friday also currently ranks fourth in the NCAA this season. The previous school record in the javelin was 236-0, set by Paul Teinert in 2006. Young’s previous personal best was 235-02, which he set last season and then-ranked second best in school history.
Cal heads to the Farm this Saturday for the annual Big Meet against Stanford. The Bears will host the Brutus Hamilton Invitational from April 24-25 at Edwards Stadium.

Taylor Kelly Pac10 Softboll Player of the Week!
Junior short stop Taylor Kelly is the first Cal softball player this season to be named the Pac-10 Player of the Week. Kelly had two home runs in the Stanford series, including a game-winning two-run shot in the bottom of the seventh to give the Bears a series victory over the No. 2 Cardinal.
Kelly, a native of Santee, Calif., helped the Bears earn two wins over second-ranked Bay Area rival Stanford last weekend. In the second game of the three-game series, Kelly hit a home run off of Stanford pitcher Missy Penna in the sixth inning to boost the Golden Bears to a 3-1 victory. Kelly’s home run was only the fifth long ball Penna has allowed all season.
On Sunday, it was Kelly’s second home run of the weekend which solidified her as a hero for the Golden Bears. After Stanford rallied back to tie California 6-6 in the top of the seventh inning, Kelly hit a walk-off two-run home run to win the game 8-6 and take the series against the Cardinal. The junior finished the weekend with three runs, three hits, two home runs and three RBI.
The Bears are back in action Wednesday, April 15 when they host the Saint Mary’s Gaels at 3 p.m. at Levine-Fricke Field.

Is it just me or does it seem that there are more hotties on scholarship than there are paying tuition? I watched the Cal/Stanford softball game on TV…. we got a good team this year…. though Stanford looks nearly unbeatable this year.
Besides this Kelly girl… Lauren Bauer looks great in a softball uni and she can hit the slider.

Get your butts to Witter Field on Saturday to watch Cal take on Minnesota in the Round of 16 (playoffs).
BERKELEY – The top-seeded Golden Bears (27-1) face No. 16 Minnesota (10-3) in the Round of 16 Saturday, April 18, at 1:30 p.m. on Witter Rugby Field during the second of a three-day event featuring Pools A and C of the national playoff field.
The winner of the Bears vs. Gophers will face either Cal Poly or Air Force in the Round of 8 Sunday at 1 p.m.
Minnesota edged Ohio State in the Midwest regional playoffs to earn its 2009 national playoff slot. The Gophers were on Witter Rugby Field for the 2007 Round of 16, where they lost to Cal Poly, and advanced to the national playoff field last season, too, before falling to Penn State.
Having sought all season to peak at the right time, California brings a team into the postseason that includes some veteran leadership, still-unproven young talent and newcomers who have added new dimensions to the Bears’ attack.

Cal to take on Furd this Saturday in the Big Slam
THIS WEEK: The No. 8-ranked California women’s tennis team (16-4, 6-1 Pac-10) will complete its regular season schedule as the Golden Bears host No. 12 Stanford (17-3, 6-1 Pac-10) on Saturday, April 18, at noon in the Big Slam at the Hellman Tennis Complex. Cal will honor seniors Bojana Bobusic, Claire Ilcinkas and Marion Ravelojaona in pre-match ceremonies as the Cardinal and the Bears clash for a potential share of the Pac-10 team championship. Although No. 9-ranked USC (19-2, 7-0 Pac-10) has already secured a portion of the conference title, if the Women of Troy fall to No. 10 UCLA (17-5, 5-2 Pac-10) on Friday, Cal and Stanford will be meeting for a piece of the Pac-10 crown on Saturday; the Bears with revenge on their minds. The last time the two teams met, Cal nabbed the upper hand by winning a thrilling doubles point at the top court, but the Cardinal rebounded by coming from behind to claim victories on four singles courts and prevailed with a 4-3 decision at Taube Family Tennis Center in Stanford, Calif. This weekend’s match will feature live webcasts from each court via links available at the women’s tennis page on CalBears.com.

If you’re lucky enough to be married to a decent/high wage earner, and you also make a decent wage, the marriage penalty really, really hurts. For the last 6 years we have been married FILING SEPARATELY because that actually saves us a bit of money over joint filing. And even if you only know a little bit about tax rates, you know that this situation sucks donkeys. This marriage is a tax “gift” that keeps on giving every year. And by giving I mean taking away about $10K. Ouch!

Attn: CHOWDAH re: London Metropolitan Univ.
So I took the scattershot approach to your question re: London Metropolitan Univ. and sent an e-mail to every Brit I know. Here is the first response to my query:
The University is quite ropey but the school has a pretty good reputation. Not in a bad area. It’s in Islington, on the Holloway road, a few minutes from Highbury and Islington tube. More that its suffered from a great deal of mismanagement and the Vice Chancellor has just resigned. google Brian Roper and london Met for more details.
If I get more responses, I’ll pass them on.

“Ropey” means of poor quality. I took his overall comment to mean the University is run like crap but the education itself is reasonably well thought of.

USC may actually have found Jesus in Cleats.
But when true freshman Matt Barkley — really a high school senior, considering that’s what he was before the first of the year — completed 10 of 13 passes for 195 yards with three touchdowns in a scrimmage last Saturday, it thickened the plot considerably.
Assuming this was against the first team defense, I like Cal’s chances next year from both an offensive and defensive perspective. Carroll’s really going to run Barkley out there @ tOSU, Cal, and Oregon???

Rivals Cover Story on the PAC-10
http://collegefootball.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=935590
Times change, but perceptions often do not. What you were years ago doesn’t necessarily define who you are now. Still, reputations aren’t easily lost.
For example, what “Big Six” conference has the reputation for having the most run-oriented offenses?…
…Yet, a strong case can be made that the Pac-10 projects as the most grounded conference in ‘09. Six Pac-10 running backs rushed for more than 1,000 yards last season, and five are back for the ’09 season. The Big Ten also had six 1,000-yard rushers a year ago, but Penn State’s Evan Royster is the only returnee.
They're after our precious bodily fluids
It seems to me that the Pac-10 has been the best rushing conference in the nation for some time now. Sure, no one wants to believe that, but it is true.
Question: Is there any team out there that could argue they were better running the ball over the last five years than Cal?
by Tedfordisgod on Apr 15, 2009 10:25 PM PDT up reply actions
I don’t know if they’ve been better, but these are the teams I can think of off the top of my head:
Oregon, West Virginia, Navy (don’t know if the triple option necessarily counts), Wisconsin
They're after our precious bodily fluids
I think those are the same ones I would come up with.
Oregon, WVU and Navy have the advantage of having running quarterbacks. But in terms of just smash-mouth running, I think it is hard to compete with Cal. I think a lot of teams attempt to be really smash mouth (like Wisconsin) but aren’t really that good at it.

To be honest, I think we have three 1 and a halves. Jeremy Ross may be more of a 2, but Nyan is oozing with potential and just needs a QB to actually get the ball to him (not always needed. I remember a game last year where the ball was thrown way over his head and behind him. I nearly wet myself when he caught it. It showed how he was a 4 star basketball player too. And Tucker was arguably our best receiver last year.

I think last year was a good example of how to win games despite being ranked #80+ in the passing game. If the WRs are serviceable, that should be sufficient. I think the real make-or-break will be in the OL and FB, giving the QBs enough time and opening holes for our running game.

I wasn’t clear. During the post I downgraded Ross to a 2. So only two 1.5’s. But I think if Riley remembers that the goal is to get into his receivers hands, not the ground 10 yards in front of them, then the receivers will have a big year. They weren’t bad last year. There are many examples where they caught balls they shouldn’t have because they were so used to bad throws that anything within the zipcode they had to catch.

hmmm...this is totally and completely false hope begging to be destroyed
Jones revealed that he has already made his decision, but just wants to let it marinate a couple days.
"[I’m leaning towards this school because] of the strength of the relationship that I’ve built with the coaches in such a short time," Jones said. "And then how strong their academics are, the experience of their coaching staff, who they brought in with the ’09 class, and the potential that I see with their team."
LINK
I hope this refers to Cal.
Also, there’s strong speculation that Stanford, Georgia, and UNC are high on the list, with ND as an outside shot.
unfortunately, that quote above applies pretty well to Stanford.
Sorry to spam, but this is Cal related!
haha…
"I stopped back by Stanford as I was leaving to talk to the coaches one more time. I was really impressed by them and my visit there really exceeded my expectations."
"They showed me a lot of love, I got a good vibe from the coaches, and I have built a very good relationship with the coaches there in a short amount of time. Almost the whole staff has multiple years of experience in the NFL and I like that a lot. I also like their 2009 recruiting class – I think they signed a lot of talent. I think their potential is high in football too."
and Cal:
"My visit to Cal was good too. They showed me the campus, their facilities, and I got to eat and talk with the coaches before watching them practice. I was planning to go back there too, but our flight got switched to a day earlier, so we had to fly out on Tuesday instead of Wednesday."
Dare I say it, but Stanford might win this one?

yes, keep military strong…but it being 68% of our budget is crazy! Especially when the real problem is Afghanistan/Iran!

certainly not
but training special forces to do this kind of thing (and supplying the vehicles and weaponry, etc) is a drop in the bucket when the budget is 799 BILLION. The problem isn’t these guys – it’s programs like star wars where we spend 100+ billion and it gets us nothing. So the real question isn’t whether or not we train these snipers properly – it’s whether we would rather waste 100 billion on star wars or have a decent public education system.

you should have picked a different example. Star Wars is too appealing to my childhood memories/fantasies.

so glad Reagan spent so much on it
if only he had directed, say, 100 million of it (1%) to AIDS research. Nah, who cares.

Or instead of invading Iraq, we could have funded universal healthcare, universal preschool, billions of dollars a year in cancer research, hired hundreds of thousands of cops, paid for millions of students to go to college…
Good thing we found those WMDs!

But I feel better having been able to rant a little bit too. It’s good to be in like-minded company both for my football fanaticism as well as sharing my political views.

It’s just a little difficult to participate in a discussion of various random topics but avoid commenting on the specific topics that interest you the most.
If you want to get into a fully charged discussion on the War in Iraq, be my guest. I can recommend many fine websites that cater to political readers on both the right and the left. Those are better places, I would think, to really get into the depth of discussion.
Here, the discussion is likely to be more HONK-oriented that you might like.

An article about immigration…my favorite takeaway line:
Congress now caps visas for foreign workers, a clunky system that does not match supply with demand. Business groups have long bemoaned the limits on skilled immigrants in particular, who have founded 52% of Silicon Valley start-ups, according to the Kauffman Foundation.

Here’s another article to that effect. Looks like immigrants aren’t that incompetent after all, carp…
woah…I never said the legal immigrants were incompetent! Using our tax money and supplying the workforce for multinational pharma, yes, but not incompetent (for the most part).
I have no comment on the much bigger illegal immigrant problem.

It seemed like you were implying that they get the jobs over more qualified Americans because they’re willing to work for cheaper, but maybe I misunderstood you.
Either way, while immigrants might reduce the number of jobs within a given field (I have no knowledge of the pharmaceutical industry), they definitely have a net positive effect on the economy.
It seemed like you were implying that they get the jobs over more qualified Americans because they’re willing to work for cheaper, but maybe I misunderstood you.
Nah…here’s my point:
In my field (chemistry) a large proportion of legal immigrants come from Asia every year to enroll in graduate school and/or postdoc(mostly China). For the most part, they do not come from prestigious universities (such as the Shanghai Institute). In fact, many folks who offer them admission (grad student) or job (postdoc) have no idea how good or bad their university is. We see several MD/PhD’s from China. Sounds prestigious, right? They cannot practice medicine in the US because they cannot pass the USMLE exam, thereby making their (medical) education unacceptable. I know 10 MD/PhD’s from China – none practice medicine in the US. For their research education (PhD) we have no such exam. My point: it’s a hit and miss with their pre-USA qualifications. Certainly not all are bad, but several are. Their salaries are paid with NIH/NSF (read: taxpayer) money. One of the labs I was in had only 15% Americans – the rest immigrants. On top of this, pharma does most of their R&D in India and China now when they used to do it in the USA. So, basically, we are using taxpayer money to educate immigrants with an unknown background and then essentially providing them jobs overseas while USA jobs diminish. Meanwhile we frequently talk about how hardly any US citizens go into science/math fields.
Cerainly diversity is a good thing and I have many friends that I would not have met otherwise. I am certainly not calling for the end of this practice but ~85% immigrants/per taxpayer funded lab isn’t a good thing. On a macro scale, is it that important? Sort of. It definitely affects every US scientist I know. We could not pump so much taxpayer money into people who will do little for the USA. I’m sure there are a bunch of other scenarios/stories like this, but I’m just offering what I’ve learned and experienced.
Several have posted links to Silicon Valley, etc., I have no comment on that. All I can comment on is what I’ve seen with my own 2 eyeballs.

That is interesting, I didn’t know the percentage of immigrants in grad programs was that high. As I said, I’m not very familiar with pharma or scientific industries in general. My experience is mostly with Silicon Valley, where the case is kind of the opposite (immigrants are highly qualified and they stick around).
one (wholly unsupported reason): Silicon Valley is the equivalent of Berkeley’s nuclear chemistry program in the 40’s/50’s. It is THE PLACE for that particular field and thus attracts top notch folks irregardless of nationality. Chemistry (and other non-It sciences) do not.

Wait, I don’t get how NIH/NSF money is “paying their salaries” but we are also “educating them”? Do you mean “training” them?
Here’s another way to look at it. Big pharma companies are exporting monkey labor (QC/manufacturing) overseas where it is cheaper. This gives them more $$ to open R+D avenues (in America), investigate marketing possibilities (American jobs), hire managers (Americans) who will help the company grow and steer it into profitable niches, which will require hiring more of the aforementioned people. All I hear is that we’re training ill-educated foreigners (ie Chinese doctors who aren’t really doctors and Chinese engineers who aren’t really engineers) in order to work cheaply overseas….. I don’t see how America loses…

Yes, all grad students get their tuition and stipend paid for by NIH/NSF taxpayer money for their “training” (formal classroom education, lab based training, etc.).
R&D isn’t happening in America (very much) anymore! The only thing that slows pharma down from making it a completely USA-free is the lack of quality trained scientists that are willing to relocate overseas.
In short: we’re sponsoring immigrants and it eventually leads to a decrease in USA jobs. Doubly fucked.
Heaps and Hinder...come on down!
Or another way to look at it would be that large companies are able to bring us drugs for cheaper than they would otherwise because they save money on R+D in foreign countries. And I really would like some data on how many USA-educated PhD’s actually do go back to China and India… Also the real nationwide % of postdocs/PhD’s who got their degree from OMG LOL CHINA University.
I mean my Indian PhD ex-boss just left my job for an R+D job with a startup biopharma company in South SF (not Genentech)…

heh…you mean pad their revenue? I’m guessing, but I don’t think patients will see a decrease in prescription costs. You might be right, but, like you, I’d like to see #’s.
Stats…I wish I knew them. I’m just going by the eyeball which is of course has flaws (I read Moneyball!). Again, my words can be misconstrued as all immigrants = bad for USA. They certainly aren’t. Several of them are my friends and valued colleagues.
Do you know what controls yearly chemistry graduate school enrollment at many schools? The number of TA’s needed for gen chem and ochem. I’m not even yoking. I just got back from a meeting where they talked about cutting TA stipends because of reduced freshman undergrad enrollment.
My American Ph.D. friend just took a job in Singapore…
They had a big article on this in C&E News last year.
Heaps and Hinder...come on down!
No, I don’t think you think immigrants are evil. No one does…people from all over will do what improves their stock the best based on the conditions that are offered them.
But what good does it for a drug company to “pad their revenue?”…drugmaking is extremely competitive and I guarantee that extra money will go towards growing SOME sector of the company. It will probably go towards making their operations cheaper (by moving stuff to India), increasing marketing (one huge area of growth for drug companies is the developing world…), not to mention ideas for new drugs (which I will still wager is mostly done in the US…I’m thinking mostly process development is done overseas). Either way, if they can increase their profits, share prices will rise and the public holders benefit. Either way the economy grows.
The number of TA’s needed for gen chem and ochem.
Isn’t this just reflective of how many grad students are leaving their labs when they’re done with their degrees? Undergrad enrollment is way more constant than graduate graduation… I don’t see the big deal.

increasing marketing
Only if they get rid of the Rafael Palmeiro/Viagra ads.
And legalize make roofies Viagra for women.
My point about grad admissions is this: It’s completely dictated by TA needs and not academic accomplishments/potential. When I learned this I found it shocking. We don’t have a rigorous set number (like med/vet school) to make things competitive so as a result the incoming quality is “meh to good” grad students.
Heaps and Hinder...come on down!
I mean, you could argue undergrad admissions is dictated solely by desk space and not academic accomplishments/potential. And it IS about academic accomplishments/potential. That they “need TA’s” is just indicative of how many PhD’s are leaving their labs with a degree, so how many people they can accept, not their accomplishments……I think TA need is actually a pretty clever way to determine how many people to enter.

“The girls are supposed to look up their coaches,” says one concerned parent at Casa Robles High School.
Carlie Christine bared all, all over the internet. Casa Robles High School officials in Orangevale confirm with CBS13 that their girl’s cheerleading coach, Carlie Christine, was the one who posed nude in a playboy centerfold.
Christine is also Playboy’s ‘cyber girl of the week.’
Parents and some students, who did not want to be identified, exposed the coach to school officials after rumors started slowly getting out that she had posed nude.
“I think it’s unacceptable. It’s not fair,” says Jamye Curtis.
What apparently uncovered the coach was when some girls didn’t make the cheerleading squad because they had a few unexcused absences from school. Their parents then made copies of Christine and dropped the pictures on the principal’s desk.
