DBD 06.24.09 Cal's Odds are 45:1

So I found myself in Vegas this last weekend. Not really sure how I got there. The whole ride there was sort of blurry and I woke up in the trunk of a car at the Bellagio valet.
Not too long ago Fever put down bets on the Eagles, Cal, and the Nets (i think) to bring home the hardware this upcoming season (he said he should have parlayed those bets I think he should have too). I figured I ought to do something of the same.
So I meandered my way around the strip in the 100 degree weather, and stumbled upon the sportsbook.
I checked the odds for the BCS.
The top three in order were:
1. Florida 3:1
2. Texas (don't remember the odds)
3. USC (don't remember the odds).
....
...
I forgot what number Cal was on the list, but our odds had gone up (more likely to win) from the opening odds. I think we were like 60:1 at first, but now... we're at 45:1.
Here's a picture of my winning ticket with the sensitive information blocked out:
Yeah, that's right. I did it. If you really can't read the image above it says:
$20 straight bet. Odds to win 2010 BCS Champ. 3022 (bet #) California. 45/1. Win $900 to pay $920.
Ohio State was #4 I think, then Oklahoma or something. I should have just brought the odds sheet home.

(2) I only post the not-serious flags. We at the CGB do take flagging seriously so we will never post REAL flags that are legitimately complaining about something. Thus don't be afraid to use the flag feature to give us legitmate flag feedback. If, on the other hand, you use the flag feature to joke around and send us funny little messages that only the mods can see, well, we might post those here and there.

I just witnessed something horrible.
Today I was in NYC, I take summer classes at an art school in New York, and I saw a man following an old asian woman and her little Asian grand daughter I think it was. He followed them for 4 blocks before making his move, I only saw all of this because they were all in front of me walking down E22nd street at the time I was walking down it. Anyways, the man kept getting closer and closer to them until finally he hit the woman with a crowbar and grabbed the girl. I immediately ran up to him as fast as I could and whistled for a cab and when it came near the license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror. If anything I can say that this cab was rare, but I thought “nah, forget it, yo holmes to Bel-Air!”
I pulled up to the house around 7 or 8 and I yelled to the cabbie “yo holmes, smell ya later!” I looked at my kingdom, I was finally there, to settle my throne as the prince of Bel-Air.
Cal track athletes trying out for Team USA:
Eleven current and former members of the California track and field team will be participating in the USATF Outdoor Championships from Thursday, June 25, through Sunday, June 28, at the historic Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore.
The United States’ best athletes will be vying for the chance to represent Team USA in Berlin, Germany this August at the IAAF World Championships, the first major international track and field event in the Olympic stadium since the 1936 Olympic Games.
The current Golden Bears competing are Michael Coe (1500), Ryan Young (javelin), Mark Matusak (1500), Sebastian Sam (junior 800) and recent graduate Katie Morgan (pole vault). The Cal alumni scheduled to participate are Alysia Johnson (800), Ed Wright (high jump), David Torrence (1500), Grace Upshaw (long jump), Kristin Heaston (shot put) and Rhuben Williams (shot put).

Farudo’s early prediction of the finishing order in Pac-10 basketball.
2. CAL In guards Jerome Randle and Patrick Christopher, the Bears have two players returning from the 10-man all-conference team, but they still need a lift in the post from JC transfer Markhuri Sanders-Frison. Cal’s chances of challenging for the top spot depend in part on the recovery of three players who had offseason surgery — Theo Robertson (hip), Harper Kamp (knee) and Jorge Gutierrez (knee). Kamp is the most uncertain.
From first to last, the teams are UW, Cal, UCLA, OSU, ASU, Arizona, Oregon, WSU, USC, Stanford.

They have this one kid, Sebastian.
Hes ALL about the hair. Anyway, hes bragging about how he hooks up with 2-16 girls a month. Firstly, its odd that he has a range. Secondly, 2 girls a month!??! Wow! Way to go, Sebastian. You are like Gene Simmons and Ron Jeremy combined!
I’m old and married and (if its a lucky month), I’m 50% of the way to your “playa status” Sebastian. I mean seriously now, lets not get your flat lifeless hair (me-ow!) in a knot over hooking up with 2 girls over a 31 day period.

I was going to make a Rodgers/Kaczynski beard comparison, but then I found this
When asked to described his new look, Rodgers explained “(its) a tribute to the Civil War generals from the mid-to-late 19th century.” But it was apparently inspired by a Russian czar. “I was watching ping-pong on MSNBC in the Olympics, and they showed this ad for this TV show which was going to be about Abe Lincoln and Czar Nicholas, who was the last czar of Russia,” Rodgers said. “So anyway, Czar Nicholas had this look. So I was laying in bed, I go, ’That’s a sweet look.’ So I got up, about 10:30 at night, I shaved my chin and said, ’Hey, if the czar can do it, I can do it.”
That’s a great motto for life. If the czar can do it, I can do it.

Georgia
will not be one. They won’t even be ranked at the end of September.
Their opening schedule is just miserable: @OkSt, vs. SoCar, @Arkansas, vs. AzSt, vs. LSU, @Tenn. I see them going at best 3-3 over that stretch. 2-4 is likelier. And they still won’t have played Florida. Richt is a fantastic coach – UGA has the highest winning pctg. of any team in the SEC since 2002 – but they’ve lost enormous amounts on the offense, and I just haven’t been impressed by their defense recently.
Richt is awesome for all the 2007 shenanigans.
And that is an OOC schedule I can respect. Good job Georgia.

Ole Miss
Has basically scheduled 9 wins. To figure out if they’re a quality team or not, you really need only to look at how they do in three games: vs. Alabama, vs. Tennessee, vs. LSU. They should be double-digit favorites against every other team on their schedule.
If they go 3-0 against those teams, then I’ll be convinced that they’re worth a damn. But Ole Miss hasn’t had more than 10 wins in like 50 years. Could be interesting.
The Oakland Raiders, of course, because we’re the shit.

Florida is going to be pretty salty
Loaded everywhere. Tebow calling Chris Leak and screaming “Tebow is running for Two Hundy today!” SEC speed. Ok, I choked when I typed that last one.
Texas will be very very good too. Their 2 weaknesses are the dicey but okish RBs and replacing their DT’s who are essentially an unknown quantity. Other than that, they look like a very solid pick for the NC game.

Predicting the winners of the major conferences:
Pac 10: [deleted]
Big 10: Ohio State (sorry Penn State)
Big XII: Texas
SEC: Bama (sorry Flo Rida)
ACC: UNC
Big East: WVU (even without Pat White)
I can imagine Florida losing in the SEC title game to Bama, though I don’t see Bama going in undefeated.
If Texas has a season like last year, they’ll once a gain be amongst the best in the country.
And, naturally, most-improved teams: I’ll say Arkansas (Ryan Mallett is a huge upgrade over Casey Dick), Michigan (nowhere to go but up), NC State (taking the right steps), Louisville (lol wut), UDub (once again, no where to go but up – plus Jake Locka).

I'm totally thinking about making a return trip to Vegas and parlaying those bets
I got my ticket from the Grand at 45/1 also. Eagles were 12/1 and Nets were 75/1. Parlay them, and what do you get…1000/1? 10000/1? Do you just multiply the odds together? That would be kind of pointless. I figure it has to be higher than just 45*12*75.
Still holding out hope that Ryan Anderson will capitulate and grant him that interview he's been asking for for months now.
Ugh, stop tempting me.
You with all your talk of parlaying bets and Hydro with the pictures of Vegas…
Man…
I just wanna go now.
JAI HO!
Holy crap, just a straight multiplication would be 40500/1. Of course, there’s about a 10000000000/1 chance that actually happens, but you know. It’d be nice. Maybe I’ll put 100 down on that if I make another trip to Vegas before college football season starts.

It was great to see Bob Welch, Hendu, Stew, etc. from the ’89 team although it would have been nice to see more of them.
For the record, I’m hoping Sabean et al. trades for some offense so the Giants won’t get bounced out of the playoffs in 3 games. Who’s on the Giants fan wish list? Holliday would look good in the orange & black.

1st or 2nd baseman who won’t cost us our most valuable prospects (Alderson, Bumgarner, Posey, or Villalona). So, in short, a player that doesn’t exist. I’d be totally OK with the team standing pat. Despite the record, I would be shocked if the Giants make the playoffs, and I’m more optimistic than most Giants fans.

The Recruiting Trail
I was reading the recruiting trail section on espn, and came across a kid that just committed to UCLA. Now, this isn’t a knock on ucla as many might want, but he had an usual quote:
“I still want to take my trips, just to have my fun but my commitment is solid. I know I want to check out Washington and a few others. I’ve only been outside of California one time so I want to see what’s out there but I?m solid with UCLA and excited to be a Bruin for sure.”
So he is basically saying, I want to freeload off of some out of state schools, to have a good time.
I can tie my shoes!
That reminds of something Freedarko wrote over a year ago with regards to the NBA draft:
Potential: Working toward a distinct game. Bird learning how to fly.
Potential potential: Someone with the tools to put together some kind of distinct game. Bird in the egg with the genes for wings.
Potential potential potential: Is this even a bird egg?
I can tie my shoes!

Its disgusting, I think, to start recruiting junior high school players for football. Even if the kid is 6’4", 180lbs at the age of 14. Its just wrong.

http://myespn.go.com/blogs/pac10/0-9-142/Yep—Cal—you-ve-got-to-get-up-early-at-Minnesota.html
California’s Sept. 19th game at Minnesota will be broadcast on either ESPN or ESPN2.
Kickoff is — cue the shower-scene music from “Psycho” — noon EST!
Yep, that’s 9 a.m. PDT.
I can tie my shoes!
Someone please tell Tedford to leave on Thursday…please?
noon kicks at Big10 schools mean wake up drunk and then drink for breakfast. Plus they might be selling booze inside the stadium.
"We lose to Stanford in many sports, but if you want to make a Cal team quit, bring a weapon."
--Coach Clark
It will be interesting to see if the team goes out a day earlier. Tedford claimed the time change and jet lag had nothing to do with the team’s performance last year at Maryland, but if the team goes out a day earlier this year, that might be a telling sign that perhaps the time change was a factor last year.
www.californiagoldenblogs.com
Coach Tedford also lived in a warehouse…I think he’s more man than any other. He might not publicly admit it was a factor, but I’d be surprised if we saw a repeat of last year.
"We lose to Stanford in many sports, but if you want to make a Cal team quit, bring a weapon."
--Coach Clark
So with all the budget cuts, it might be increasingly difficult to justify staying the extra day. I think we should come earlier than last year at MD, but I would not be surprised to hear us going the day before.
by Longhorn@Berkeley on Jun 24, 2009 10:11 AM PDT up reply actions
While the sentiment is probably true, I don’t think the athletics department would put it to Tedford in those terms, especially if the football team can point to its bottom line and say that it’s the one of the few sports that is profitable at the school. You could definitely make the argument that the marginal benefit from the potential win is much greater than the cost of flying out and staying one day earlier if that ends up being the difference between a great season or another above-average one.

The budget was the reasoning behind the Maryland logistics, as far as I know. It’s only worse this year. Contrary to popular belief, the football team does not print its own money.
nope - Minnesota's stadium officially dry.
The University of Minnesota’s new football stadium is officially dry — as are all other sports venues on campus.
The university’s Board of Regents today approved a proposal to ban all alcohol sales at the university’s new football stadium, a prohibition that will be extended to all other sports arenas on campus.
The university’s previous policy would have allowed alcoholic beverages to be served only in such premium seating as boxes, suites and club rooms of the stadium. However, the Legislature passed a law requiring an all-or-nothing approach to selling alcohol to adults who attend games, regardless of where they sit.

How much were they? I’m thinking about going out for the game…
I haven't seen that many tear-stained dollar bills since my dad hired a stripper for my uncle's funeral.
Is it me, or are the first 3 weeks of this year, setting up to be exactly the same as last year. Big home non-conference game, followed by the easiest game of the year, then an early morning cross-country game.
I can tie my shoes!
I'm hoping for a much better result in the 3rd game this year
I was in attendance at Maryland last year, and I wholeheartedly agree with CBKWit’s assertion that it wasn’t the early start time that got to our Bears so much as the oppressive humidity. It was seriously awful, and I was just standing around for 3 hours. As long as Minnesota isn’t that humid, I’m less worried about the start time.

The offense actually wasn’t too bad in the first quarter, and two of our top receivers were suspended for that quarter. The defense did start slow, but I would say that they were simply getting used to defending the triple option. In this, they were following the same pattern as the game at Air Force in 2004, where the defense gave up some long early drives, then stiffened as they got used to what the Zoomies were doing, and their superior athleticism was able to clamp down on the Air Force offense for the rest of the game.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
we pretty easily dominated Colorado State, and then let them back in the game late by allowing the Rams to recover 2 consecutive onside kicks after giving up two quick touchdowns, both of which involved very long pass plays that were somehow completed. not an early-morning issue at all.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
I remember a very slow start to the game, and needing a Desean Jackson 65 yard td to wake up.

Our offense was definitely relying on a few home-run plays to make up for a lack of consistency. You’d expect a bit of a let down after the Tennessee game, though.

2004 – W @ Southern Miss

2005 – W vs. BYU (Las Vegas Bowl)
2006 – L @ Tennessee
2006 – W vs. Texas A&M (Holiday Bowl)
2008 – W vs. Miami (Emerald Bowl)
Overall, a 6-4 record isn’t bad, but if we throw out the bowl games (all but the Las Vegas Bowls featured opponents traveling much further than the Bears), Cal’s record at night and on the road is a paltry 2-3 (and no one is impressed by a win at New Mexico State).

• Portland (Ore.) David Douglas four-star defensive end Owamagbe Odighizuwa was blown away by his recent camp visit to Cal. And while he wouldn’t say the Bears are his top team, he made it clear he had a great time in Berkeley. “It was an unbelievable experience,” Odighizuwa said. Odighizuwa recently narrowed his list to five schools – Florida, USC, UCLA, Oregon State and Cal.
Ward (6-4/285) is up to eight offers after new additions from Colorado and San Diego State, but he still considers Cal and UCLA his favorites.
Both coaching staffs have impressed Ward. His lead recruiter from Cal has been defensive line coach Tosh Lupoi, and the two have a good connection. He said at this point, Cal is recruiting him harder than UCLA.

Honestly, I think lying under oath is a huge concern. Mostpeople dont think its a big deal, but 99% of what we all do is “under penalty of perjury.” Theres, in most cases, NOTHING backing up the people’s statements EXCEPT for tha tconcept.
So, to me, lying under oath is huge. If you allow it in one sitch, its b-a-d. Others who dont work in my field might not see it the same way and I get that. And I agree that the affair was stupid. But the lying under oath was huge.

That’s my point. From a purely legal POV (which is where Twist is coming from), Clinton might have broken the law. But the whole thing was a political witch hunt – the Republicans got Paula Jones to accuse him of sexual harassment and then asked him various questions while he was under oath to try and get him to perjure himself.

Well, then, here's another question
(Again, I’m sketchy on the details here)
If Clinton was accused of a crime, and the questions related to whether he committed that crime, doesn’t he have the right to simply not answer the questions to avoid implicating himself? And if, on the other hand, the questions didn’t relate to a crime he may or may not have committed, couldn’t he have avoided answering those questions on the grounds that they weren’t relevant to the accusations at hand?
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
Again, don’t know the legal side of this, but I do know that a deposition can be used as a way to force people to answer questions that are only tangentially related but are politically embarrassing.
If you look at the Starr report, large sections of it are graphic descriptions of sex acts performed – things that have absolutely no relevance to whether or not Clinton lied under oath, but that Starr thought would be embarrassing to the president.
by HolmoePhobe on Jun 24, 2009 12:41 PM PDT up reply actions
If memory serves, the deposition leading to the perjury which led to his impeachment was taken in the sexual harassment lawsuit that Paula Jones filed against Clinton. Clinton was asked in that deposition about his affair with Ms. Lewinsky. Since an affair is not a crime, he didn’t have a 5th Amendment privilege to avoid answering the question.
As to the question whether he could avoid answering the question on the ground that they “weren’t relevant,” the answer is no. For one thing, the questions about Lewinsky were “relevant” in the legal sense. Because the depo was taken in the context of the Paula Jones suit, the questions about his affair with Lewinsky were fair game for a discovery deposition. (Scope of discovery in civil cases is wide.) And even if the questions were arguably irrelevant to the subject matter of the case, the witness in a civil deposition normally has to answer the question anyway.

Well, first and foremost, it was a witch hunt. Kenneth Starr was supposed to be investigating him for the Whitewater scandal (that nothing came out of), and Starr just kept digging for stuff, and then he started asking questions about Monica Lewinsky, which had nothing to do with anything. Starr should have been run out on a rail for asking impertinent questions, but the Republicans had Congress under their control and they were out for blood.
So the questions got asked and Clinton got caught. And they went SO overboard with it – testing the dress, all that crap. Insane. And complete crap. I mean, when Clinton got impeached, none of the Democrats even voted – they all staged a walkout, because they knew it was bulls***. He was supposedly impeached for lying under oath about something that had nothing to do with his governing of the nation. Yeah, it’s a horrible thing to have an affair. But what does that have to do with being President? NOTHING.
Kenneth Starr, by the way, is the same guy who defended Prop 8 in front of the California Supreme Court. Yeah.
I haven't seen that many tear-stained dollar bills since my dad hired a stripper for my uncle's funeral.
Originally dealing with the failed land deal years earlier known as Whitewater, Starr, with the approval of Attorney General of the United States Janet Reno, conducted a wide ranging investigation of alleged abuses including the firing of White House travel agents, the misuse of FBI files, and Clinton’s conduct during the sexual harassment lawsuit filed by a former Arkansas government employee, Paula Jones. In the course of the investigation, Linda Tripp provided Starr with taped phone conversations in which Monica Lewinsky, a former White House Intern, discussed having oral sex with Clinton. Based on this and other evidence Starr concluded that Clinton perjured himself when, in a sworn deposition for this case, Clinton denied having a “sexual affair” or “sexual relations” with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. At the deposition, the judge ordered a precise legal definition of the term “sexual relations” 2 that Clinton claims to have construed to mean only vaginal intercourse.

- Alan Hahn reports that the Knicks may send cash to the Timberwolves for the 28th overall pick.
- The latest trade rumor included Rajon Rondo and forward Brian Scalabrine going to Memphis for guard Mike Conley and swingman Rudy Gay.
- ESPN reported late Tuesday night that the Thunder and the Suns are reportedly discussing a trade that would give Oklahoma City two lottery picks Thursday night in the draft.
- Point guards Brandon Jennings and Jrue Holiday should be available with the eighth pick, but sources claim that Donnie Walsh and Mike D’Antoni prefer Duke swingman Gerald Henderson over the pair.

JO on details of the Minnesota game.
This year will be a little different. The most significant difference is the Bears are only changing two time zones, not three. And, of course, it is a shorter plane ride.
For the record, according to weather.com, the average high in Minneapolis on Sept. 19 is 70 degrees.
There was a lot of discussion last year whether Cal should have left on Thursday for Maryland to get acclimated to the time change. Because of the economy, I can’t imagine the Bears would consider doing that this season. But again, since the time change isn’t as severe and the weather probably won’t be as much of a factor, travel shouldn’t have quite as much of an impact as it did for the Maryland game.

can someone explain these rules to me
why is the game not over after 90 minutes, wtf is offsides in soccer. i majored in PEIS so laymans terms are appreciated
Remember, the enemy's end zone is DOWN!
The game is not over because there’s stoppage time and they play that because they lose some time with injuries and what not. And being offside in soccer is when you’re ahead of the whole field and you get the ball.
The Ultimate Opportunist

More specifically, you are offsides when you are further forward than every opposing man (except the goalie) when the ball is passed forward.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
You know, I never knew what offsides was until that explanation. It seems to me that outlawing offsides prevents cherrypicking, but also artifically lowers scoring. If you allowed players to be offsides, I think you’d end up with better spacing and more scoring opportunities.

A Short History of Nearly Everything
Hey carp, have you ever read A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson? It came out in 2004 but I’m just getting around to it now. The book goes into chemistry, paleontology, geology, and other general sciences. You might be interested to read about the forefathers of your field, e.g. :
Chemistry as an earnest and respectable science is often said to date from 1661, when Robert Boyle of Oxford published The Sceptical Chymist -the first work to distinguish between chemists and alchemists-but it was a slow and often erratic transition. Into the eighteenth century scholars could feel oddly comfortable in both camps-like the German Johann Becher, who produced an unexceptionable work on mineralogy called Physica Subterranea , but who also was certain that, given the right materials, he could make himself invisible.
Perhaps nothing better typifies the strange and often accidental nature of chemical science in its early days than a discovery made by a German named Hennig Brand in 1675. Brand became convinced that gold could somehow be distilled from human urine. (The similarity of color seems to have been a factor in his conclusion.)
It’s a nice book for non-science people to learn basic science. Doesn’t really cover new ground though, just provides details the layman will understand.

Goal.com associate editor Shane Evans:
“The U.S. and Spain are set to battle, but for my money, I don’t think it’s going to be much of a competition. Spain is superior on all parts of the pitch and will take the game to Bob Bradley’s man quickly. I can see a small settling in period, but I believe after about 20 minutes or so, the Spanish midfield will take over and make life very hard for the U.S. Because of this, I could see the score ballooning to 2-0 before halftime with a final score or 3-0. If the USA wins, I’ll take up ballet lessons.”

I suppose it’s just about having the time. We used to say that my grandfather moved to England late in life so he would have time to watch test matches after retiring and without the suspicion that this would have caused in Scotland. The BBC theme music for cricket is still the sound of summer for me, nearly 30 years later.
By “nobody” you mean “everyone who isn’t American”? I suppose Americans only like sports that NEVER end with 2-0 scores, like hockey or baseball. Wait…
Compare the ratings of the Super Bowl, NBA Finals, World Series, and Stanley cup, aggregated over the past ten years.
