Put Those Teabags Away!
For democracy has finally accomplished something. We won the Best Of Berkeley Competition (link in title) for Best Blog! Yay for us! Here is what they wrote:
Best Blog: California Golden Blogs
California Golden Blogs isn’t five guys sitting in grandma’s basement in their underwear, typing aimless blabber about all things Cal sports. In fact, the men who run California Golden Blogs are all employed, according to a poster named ragnarok. Four are situated in the Bay Area, while a lone correspondent reports from New York. And the quality shows—ever since joining the sbnations.com network of blogs, California Golden Blogs has blossomed into to web’s top source for Cal apologetics.
According to ragnarok, the site does not reap profits. Any and all ad revenue is donated to the Cal Band, and the only motive that keeps California Golden Blogs running is fandom—or fanaticism, if you prefer.
For fans who would rather not participate in rabid Cal discussions under an online alias, be sure to at least check out the numerous highlight reels put together by a reader named danzig by clicking on the fanshots tab.
Started in 2006, the site has somewhat become a mecca for Bears fans. For readers that have already exhausted the stories of local media outlets, it’s tough pickings trying to find a website that does a better job of fostering community and furthering fan interest.

Honorable Mention: The Daily Clog
Editors' Pick: The Daily Clog
First, I like how they are shocked that some, if not all, of us actually, stunningly, unbelievable, incredibly, have jobs!
Second, what the what is going on with this: Editors' Pick: The Daily Clog. What sort of Tyranny is this? How should we express to the Daily Cal Editor's our displeasure with them denying the will of the people? My suggestion: Throwing a million teabags into the Potomac River. Who is with me?

No editor’s pick for best professor or best class? Clearly those editors aren’t going to class!

I think the Clog hates you guys
They left CGB out of the slide show for entertainment:

We might put something small, but I don’t think these mean much in terms of traffic and such. Hell they didn’t even link to us in the actual article! Why should we link back to them?

I call bullshit. It says right on the homepage By Your Own Admission that CGB is the
3rd Best Sports-Oriented Cal Blog on the net.

Good call, we should probably change that. My proposal:
“The Democratically Elected #1 Cal Sports Blog on the Internet.”
Thoughts?

So...
The Daily Cal editors say that the Daily Clog, run by the Daily Cal, is the best Cal website? Conflict of interest much?
I call shenanigans!

I feel sad to be a Daily Cal alum after this.
I guess this isnt just for Cal sports blogs, but either way it is awful.

Do you have any connections? We gotta get the inside dirt on these “Editors.”

I don’t see anything wrong with the write-up other than being a little silly, but selecting your own blog “Editor’s choice” is pretty low.
