DBD 2.09.10 Cal Football Crossword Puzzle

Email
PrintA Cal Crossword puzzle. All players and names are from the Tedford Era.
*curses* I have to reach the 75 word minimum. Just to clarify all first and last names are needed, and the Tedford Era spans from Tedford's hiring to the present. The Tedford era receives its name from current Cal football coach Jeff Tedford, and is generally seen as the time period Cal transitioned from historically terrible to football relevance.

oh good. I was writing a DBD now I can get back to doing some work so they don’t fire me around here.
post it the night before. I am breathless with anticipation for the “Rishi Scale”.

I’m pretty sure no one here will agree with my scale. It’s not because my standards are so high, but because I account for personality when judging girls.

what is this “personality” you speak of? And how does it relate to breast size?

The Pac-10 has hired some help for Larry Scott
The Pac-10 announced Monday hired former Big 12 commissioner and Big Ten executive Kevin Weiberg as deputy commissioner and chief operating officer.
Prior to iHoops, Weiberg served as vice president of university planning and development for the Big Ten Network, expanding the range and scope of network programming, during early stages of its development. In addition, he served as deputy commissioner of the Big Ten Conference under Jim Delany, from 1989 to 1998, and was instrumental in the integration of Penn State into the conference.
http://espn.go.com/blog/pac10/post/_/id/7809/pac-10-hires-weiberg-former-big-12-commissioner
To my knowledge this is the second hire designed to aide Scott with his endeavors. The first was the creation of a deputy post to handle the day-to-day affairs fo the conference, freeing Scott to focus on larger issues.
Wasn’t that guy also a former BCS commissioner too?

No, but I thought a few years ago… Actually, I remember it was 2004 when Texas screwed us, I looked up the head of the BCS, and I believe it was the Big XII commissioner, who had a name kinda like Kevin Weiberg. The fact that we got screwed by the BCS in favor of Texas, AND the BCS head was also from the Big XII, added to the shadiness surrounding the whole situation in my mind.

Tosh Lupoi named Recruiter of the Year.
BERKELEY – Cal defensive line coach Tosh Lupoi was named the Rivals Recruiter of the Year on Monday. Lupoi is an integral member of a Cal coaching staff that was able to ink a 2010 signing class that ranked as high as No. 11 nationally by Rivals, with the Golden Bears posting the seventh-highest ranking according to the number of average stars per signee (3.58). ESPN listed Cal’s 2010 signing class at No. 15, while Scout had the Bears at No. 29.
“If you’re promoting a hot product you have the ability to pass others up quickly,” said Lupoi. “Focusing on the Cal degree and alumni association, longevity of a successful head coach, the amount of young present and incoming talent, and the progress of the Student-Athlete High Performance Center, Cal can considered to be on fire right now.”
“Just as in any major business, it’s all about the team effort in the end,” continued Lupoi. “Our staff’s committment and honest love for the players is obvious, and the same goes for recruiting. To be recognized for an award is flattering, but in my opinion it should be an award that recognizes the whole staff.”
Lupoi, who completed his second season in his role as the Bears’ defensive line coach in 2009, has been involved with the Cal football program since 2000 when he came to Berkeley as a freshman player. After finishing his playing career in 2005, he spent two seasons as a graduate assistant on the defensive side of the ball before being hired as the team’s defensive line coach in January of 2008.

Womens golf finished first round;
The California Golden Bears women’s golf team got off to a slow start the the Northrop Grumman Invitational, finishing the first round of play in 12th place. The team posted a +25 (309). Southern California finished the day as the team leaders with an even par 284.
Sophomore Joanne Lee paced the Bears, shooting a one-over 72 at the 5,912 yard Palos Verdes Golf Club. She was tied for seventh among the individuals, five shots back from USC’s Jennifer Song, who leads the tournament at four-under. Sophomore Daniela Holmqvist shot a +5 (76) in her Cal debut, the second lowest round of the day for the Cal women.
Because of a threatening forecast down in Southern California, the tournament will go with a shotgun start on Tuesday at 8:30 a.m. Live Scoring will be available through Golfstat.

Rugby game moved to this Wednesday:
Feb. 8, 2010
BERKELEY – The match between the Golden Bears and Cal Maritime, originally scheduled to take place in Vallejo at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, has been relocated to California’s Witter Rugby Field for a 4 p.m. kickoff on the same day.
Cal Maritime comes into the match as a fiery Division II side that has given the deeper parts of the Rugby Bears’ roster some tough competition in recent seasons. The Keelhaulers are undefeated in local play so far this spring, including a big win last Saturday over Nevada.
Last year, a Cal lineup laden with underclassmen was down at halftime before putting together four second-half tries to beat Cal Maritime, 24-3.

Pac-10 Expansion?
This rumor and talk is starting to gain some credibility with the hire of Larry Scott
Utah possibly to the Pac10?
This is all speculation…but sources are telling ABC 4 Sports that Utah will be invited to join the PAC 10 conference, but not BYU. The Cougars could wind up in the Big 12…or staying put in the MWC.
Several dominoes have to fall first, but here’s how it could all play out…
The Big 10 wants to expand to a 12 team league..giving them a conference championship game in football, like the SEC and Big 12. Pittsburgh could be asked to join the Big 10..or possibly Rutgers.
The PAC 10 would then follow suit, and it would need to invite 2 schools, and it could be Utah and Colorado.
So the Big XII, according to this, is going to swap Colorado with BYU? (and not TCU?)
And the Pac 10 will pick up Colorado and Utah? What happens to the MWC?
7
The article doesn’t explain why Colorado would want to leave the Big-XII for the Pac-10. But, if I were the Big-XII, I think BYU is a much better get than TCU:
1) It adds a new market, instead of overlapping with current markets.
2) Has a large national following.
3) Has better athletics across the board.
Yeah, but they were good then and we sucked. Now the shoe is on the other foot.

SC was a little down in the late 90s (we actually beat them 3 years in a row from 1998 to 2000) and beat them 3 straight times at the Coliseum (1996, 1998, 2000). In the late 90s, the Pac-10 was kind of a free for all. Between 1996 and 2000 there were five different champions: ASU, WSU, Ucla, Stanfurd, and Washington.
Our late 90s records:
1996: 6-6
1997: 3-8
1998: 5-6
1999: 4-7
2000: 3-8

Colorado and Texas were the original teams the Pac 10 wanted. Colorado wasn’t interested but A&M was and it looked like a done deal. Then the Texas state legislature (filled with powerful Baylor and Tech alums) stepped in and threaten drastic funding cuts if UT and A&M bailed on the SWC without Baylor and Tech. Thus, the Big XII was born (shifting those 4 to the Big 8).

You were saying the PAC-10 was down in the 1990s. I’m not sure about “down.” ASU in 1996 was a win away from an NC. The 1998 Ucla team was good – legit NC chance until it lost regular season finale at Miami. And WSU in 1997 was a top10 team that almost beat national champion Michigan in the Rose Bowl. Oregon and Washington had some good teams in the late 90s, too. And Arizona was competent with Dick Tomey’s Desert Swarm. .

What happens to the MWC?
Who cares! Not our problem :)
That is the correct answer.
by atomsareenough on Feb 9, 2010 9:57 AM PST up reply actions
A tinge of cynicism in the article
BYU would not be invited, primarily because they don’t play on Sunday…and the PAC 10 has a lot of Sunday games. Officially, the PAC 10 would say Utah is a better fit, because it’s a research institution and has a medical school, like most of the other PAC 10 schools…and BYU does not.
I actually buy the “official” line more than the Sunday thing. The Pac-10 could work around the Sunday thing.
I don’t believe that “most” of the Pac-10 schools have a medical school. But there is certainly a difference in the research institution aspect of BYU vs. most of the Pac-10 membership and the University of Utah, amirite?
I am a Vereenian.
I think that more than half of the Pac-10 schools have medical schools? Arizona, UCLA, U$C, Stanfurd, Oregon, and UW …
Anyway, call me old-fashioned, but I like that the Pac-10 is more or less situated on the West Coast. And who would want to make a road trip to Provo?
I agree with your old-fashioned mentality. I prefer to keep the Pac10 the way it is, but the conference is going to be jockeying for a new tv contract ($$$$$$) soon and having a 12 team conference with 2 divisions like the Big 12 is more appealing to the networks. The Pac10 needs to get with the times or it’s going to fall further behind the other BCS schools.
Personally, I don’t want the expansion to happen and wish the Rose Bowl would get out of its contract with the BCS. I don’t think that’s going to happen. Once again, the BCS and how it’s tied into the MNC is the biggest root of the problem.
The BCS can suck my Campanile.
Its really just used for training and certifying students to issue medical marijuana waivers…

Do you know, it would never occur to me to buy an SUV that didn’t have 4 wheel drive, at least not for foul-weather purposes. I have a Subaru that’s great on the snow but not so much in deep snow. It’s a nice change to be able to swing it round corners like I’m on a rally stage…. but at about 0.000015 the speed.
I bought it 2nd-hand from my parents, who only bought 2-wheel drive because the dealer didn’t have any more 4-wheel drive in stock, and it was a whole big kerfuffle to try and get one. They lived in a very mild-weather area, so it wasn’t a huge deal.
CGB: Wasting Your Potential, Your Time, & Your Life Since 2006.
Well that’s fair enough. I don’t have any strong feelings that SUVs must have all wheel drive / 4 wheel drive. Just in the entirely unlikely event that I bought one, I’d go the whole hog and get 4WD.

I’m assuming the split will be the California + Arizona schools and Northwest + Rocky Mountain Schools may mean less opportunities to raid, pillage, rape, and reclaim our neighbors to the north.
I think rivalries within California, and within the Northwest trump anything with the Arizona schools and the Rocky Mountain schools.
If it means fewer games against OSU, I’m all for it. OTOH, we could split CA up and do UW, WSU, UO, OSU, Cal, LSJU in a Northwest division and USC, UCLA, ASU, UA, UU, and CU in a Southeast Division.

New Orleans linebacker Scott Fujita seemed close to tears when he was asked if winning the trophy had been a “civic responsibility.”
“No question about it,” Fujita yelled. “It was all of us together! It was all of us in the city together the last four years! This is the moment we’ve been working for; this is the moment the city deserves! And I can’t wait to get back to New Orleans and celebrate with our people.”
Our people. I’ve heard a lot of players in a lot of locker rooms thank “the fans.” I’ve never heard them refer to the paying customers who watch, cheer and sometimes boo them, as “our people.”

Jerome Randle and the crossover
Randle would remind you that his speed alone wouldn’t give him such a deadly crossover. It takes second-nature ballhandling, body control and balance.
The time has come. You crouch into defensive stance, lifting your heels slightly off the ground so you can slide laterally. You consider forcing Randle to his off-hand, but he doesn’t really have an off-hand.
“It doesn’t matter,” he says. “I can go either way.”
As Randle charges forward, carefully bouncing the ball in his right hand, you start moving left in an attempt to cut him off.
Using physics to his advantage, Randle reacts. With your weight shifting one way, he takes a fraction of a second to deceive you, making you think he might not change his course, selling it by leaning much of his own body in the direction you’re headed.
He’s lying.
By the time your left foot is planted, your fate is sealed. The hardwood beneath you feels like quicksand, your leftward inertia preventing a recovery.
Randle executes the second half of his crossover, bringing the ball to his left hand with a low dribble that swings under your flailing outstretched arm.
You hardly had a chance.
“When he does that crossover, man, he’ll just leave a guy way behind him,” says Smith. “I’m just like, ‘Wow, that’s ridiculous.’”
Sometimes, Randle doesn’t even know what he’s left in his wake.
“I hear the crowd react, but a lot of the time I hear it from my teammates after the fact,” he says. “A lot of times they say, ‘You broke his ankles,’ but I didn’t see it.”
Randle is busy zipping into the lane for a high-arcing floater, or sneaking underneath the basket for a reverse layup, or finding an open shooter as your teammates collapse on him.
The last thing he’s worried about is you.

His crossover is pretty, but his behind the back dribble – something doesn’t look right about it to me. It looks like he carries it the way he does it – it’s very deliberate and not as smooth as say, Manu Ginobili, Chris Paul or Deron Williams (who I think are the masters at the Association level)
You are comparing him to three of the best ball-handlers ever though…

Cal rugby to be displaced from Wittier for the next two years due to stadium retrofit
Clark says the team will play at local high schools.
“(The salesman) called me up one day and told me that artificial turf would be going into Witter Rugby Field and that he wanted to schedule a meeting to present his product,” says coach Jack Clark. “I got off of the phone as quickly as possible and I called down to the athletic department. I found out some time later that it was all true.”
The Memorial Stadium retrofit, which will seismically improve Cal’s football stadium, is changing the athletic program for the next three years.
And rugby, one of the school’s most self-sufficient athletic program, will suffer the most.
The changes have already begun. A 60 by 30 meter portion of the field known as “the lab,” an area where Clark states the team does “about 70 percent” of its training, has been blocked off to make room for temporary offices. The stadium has lost half of its seating. Two days before the annual match against UBC, the entire Witter parking lot will close.
What many call the “best grass in Berkeley” will be torn out and replaced with artificial turf to accommodate practices for football and lacrosse.
“Playing on artificial turf beats the hell out of you,” said Clark. “Even the newest generations of turf are not appropriate for rugby.”

That’s too bad for Rugby… I’d think there would be another real grass field somewhere in Berkeley… They should put some on Underhill and throw up some bleachers for more centrally located games…

I didn’t think Underhill Field existed anymore. Does it?
Clark Kerr Campus used to have a grass field. If it still exists, I wonder why that wasn’t an option. Edwards Field could be a good pitch (they use it for soccer), but I guess that’s probably incompatible to use with the track season happening at the same time.

* On the Weiberg hire.
"He has a very diverse and successful track record. In particular, in his experience as the Big 12 commissioner and an executive with the Big Ten Network, he has dealt with some of the most complicated issues — from expansion to TV networks to media rights in general.
* Does that mean Scott is considering expansion?
"We’re looking at it very seriously. It wasn’t something identified for me by the presidents when I took the job. But it’s very natural as you look at the value of the conference from a media standpoint. If we were ever going to look at expansion, this would be the logical time" (because negotiations for a new TV deal will begin next year).
* I took that as an indication that Scott is more serious about expansion than he was three or six months ago.
"No, I think I’ve been consistent on that subject."
* On the possibility of the basketball schedule getting tweaked next season to include Monday night, with the objective being to get more games on TV and possibly on ESPN:
(Note: The Pac-10’s contract with Fox gives the network sub-licensing rights, allowing it to sell games to ESPN — something it does every now and then.)
"We’re putting a fresh set of eyes on it, but I wouldn’t go so far as to say that we’ll see changes next year. But we’re investigating and exploring how we might add to the number of days we play on.
"The conference has been the most conservative of the major conferences in terms of how it has scheduled for basketball.
"The key is finding a way to maximize exposure for the conference while maintaining our integrity and academic standing."
"We lose to Stanford in many sports, but if you want to make a Cal team quit, bring a weapon."

I’ll offer 2001 and that’s my last offer!
Seniors will remember the infamous Putnam Porn widely circulated our freshman year. Be warned, if your bedroom antics are as awkward as “Did you come?” and “Was I supposed to?” you may not want to webcast such misfortunes to the greater campus community.
If this writer was a senior in Spring 2005 and the Porn was widely circulated their freshman year, it was 2001-2002.

Speaking of which
A reporter from the Daily Cal came to my room this afternoon asking about Putnam Porn. He’d heard that it happened on my floor and the room layout, door color, etc. were the same, so he suspected it was either my room or another one down the hall. Pretty weird…
Saw him in SF a couple months ago. He kept the Indian inside jokes to a minimum cuz the crowd was so diverse. He was funny but not as funny as his Indian stuff.
I really liked the first two specials (the first one and outsourced) but realized that his comedy is, by nature, very very limited. I mean, his Cantonese English accent is spot on, but I’ve heard now. Twice.
When he diversifies beyond the accent jokes (ps, his South Affrican accent is hilarious), he goes to horrible areas, like having sex with deaf girls.

Deaf people can kinda talk in their funky way, right? It’s just that they can’t hear you. They’re not necessarily mute.

Apparently I can’t run a lame joke into the ground without repeated correction.
Actually, there was a near riot at Gallaudet a couple of years ago because a new President was being accused of being too interested in integration with the hearing community (there were other issues as well). It was the first I’d heard of a culture within the deaf community of people who prefer not to make any attempt to accomodate hearing people by trying to talk.
So, theoretically, if you pick the right radicalized deaf activist, my joke could apply.
It is remarkably difficult to write broad comedy. Most people become successful with a nice style and then people adapt to hearing that nice style over and over and over and over and over again.

Robert Reich: abolish student fees?
Why not abolish student fees at the University of California? And in exchange, how about requiring graduates to pay the university a percentage of their income for a while after college?
That may sound outlandish at a time when UC is substantially hiking student fees and the state budget crisis has left the 10-campus system strapped for cash. But that’s precisely why UC Berkeley public policy professor Robert Reich raised the idea to a commission trying to chart the university’s course into the future.
“We’ve never been here before, not only the university but the state of California,” Reich, a former U.S. Labor Secretary, said in an interview. “So, many ideas that would never before see the light of day are now being examined seriously.”
It remains to be seen how seriously UC leaders will examine Reich’s proposal, under which more highly paid alumni would, in effect, subsidize others. But it is among the far-reaching, even radical ideas receiving at least a hearing from UC’s Commission on the Future, a panel that is studying ways to maintain the university’s excellence yet make it more efficient and affordable in an era of shrinking state revenue.

Interesting proposal. My brother said most people in Australia get gov’t funding to go to college. Then they pay it back over their lifetime. Basically, a low-interest loan. I think it’s a great idea.

Remember that 13 year old Sills kid who commited to USC?
UCLA was interested in him when he was ELEVEN.
Note the article is from a year ago – which means DS was 11 yo when Ricky sent him materials…
Maybe more than monitored. David’s father, David Sills IV, said the family received a questionnaire from UCLA. That was a year ago. They discarded it. It might have been a mass mailing for a camp. Maybe Rick Neuheisel was that desperate for quarterback help. Who knows?

I know this won’t happen, but theoretically speaking is it possible?

All student athletes have to meet a minimum academic requirement. I would imagine it would be difficult without high school. Sure, a player might be able to knock a semester or two off with extensive studying and advanced placement. If you factor in the time and effort required to be a Division I player and there simply aren’t enough hours in the day.
Should the Monday after the Super Bowl be a holiday?
You shouldn’t have to work today.
You shouldn’t even have to get out of bed. This should be a day where you can sleep in, sleep off the effects of all the “soda” you drank yesterday, reflect on the Saints as the representation of the best in football and just keep reloading Shutdown Corner all day long.
Today should be a national holiday.
What else brings Americans together like the Super Bowl? One hundred million people all did the same thing yesterday. When does that ever happen? As a nation, what else do we universally agree on, quite like the fact that we should all sit down, eat ridiculous foods and watch a football game? We can barely get the same number of people to vote in a presidential election.
Counterpoint:
Maybe you shouldn’t have a job if you’re too much of a vag to show up after the super bowl.

Question
Would you replace taking President’s Day off with taking the day after the superbowl? Feel free to substitute MLK day.
Or host the Super Bowl the Sunday of President’s Day?
I loved the Super Bowl, but I was sad that I couldn’t drink for it due to having work early the next day.

President’s Day – sure. Only because they cheapened Lincoln’s/Washington’s birthdays anyway, so what the hell.
MLK Day – hell no. Man deserves a national holiday, end of story.

I just wish Dr. King had been born in the summer. The last thing we needed was another holiday in January. Why can’t any great leaders be born in June or July or August? Or why can’t we be like the British, who have a holiday for the Queen’s “official” birthday in June when the weather is good (or as good as it gets in Britain), instead of on her actual birthday in April? We could move King to June and Lincoln and Washington to August. Perfect!
Snobby Chick - Senior Division
Hmmm… maybe it’s in January so that the bitter cold reminds us of the bitter struggles that he faced, no, that we all faced, on the road to equality?
Or maybe it’s the birthday thing :)
CGB: Wasting Your Potential, Your Time, & Your Life Since 2006.
Those crazy British
The Queen’s official birthday is indeed in June, but alas, no holiday. The Brits are actually shockingly short on holidays — only 8 all year, with seven of them between December and May (uh, wrong way round, dudes).
Fear not, I am not Rainman about all national holidays, but I did live in Britain for 8 years.
Future And-Rags-Cub is to be born in June – so we’ll try to make it something special… She’ll be a world leader and with a holiday… with Slushies, everyone gets Slushies on this holiday…

Question For People, Most Likely Carp
Anyone ever receive a corticosteroid injection to reduce joint pain?
How long did it hurt after you got the injection?
Quantity AND quantity!
No.
And that sucks. From wiki.
Typical undesired effects of glucocorticoids present quite uniformly as drug-induced Cushing’s syndrome. Typical mineralocorticoid side effects are hypertension (abnormally high blood pressure), hypokalemia (low potassium levels in the blood), hypernatremia (high sodium levels in the blood) without causing peripheral edema, metabolic alkalosis and connective tissue weakness.7 There may also be impaired wound healing or ulcer formation because of the immunosuppressive effects.

Hurts for a while
I’ve had a cortisone shot in my hip. Shot killed, worse than original problem. Hurt for about a week, and then miracles. Hang in there.
You mind if I interrogate you a little more? Did you feel the shot only masked the symptoms temporarily (weeks, months), or did the problem go away fully? Did you need more shots thereafter? What was your problem prior, and the eventual solution?
Quantity AND quantity!
Good Solution
The problem (tendonitis in my hip) has never returned. Has been about 2.5 years. The shot was seriously painful, but so worth it.
Oh, is this a cortisone shot?
I have bursitis in my shoulder and get such a shot every other year, roughly.
The pain has varied from time-to-time. Sometimes, it hurts for the day, then goes away. One time, it hurt so badly that I couldn’t get up.
(I hope this is helpful)

Doesn’t long-term use of such injections cause deterioration in the joint?
by atomsareenough on Feb 10, 2010 7:38 AM PST up reply actions
No. Impingement of the tendon. It is, in theory, completely curable. But I tried physical therapy for 3 months, didn’t work, straight up 100% rest for 2 months, didn’t work, anti-inflammatory meds for a month, didn’t work. I’m going on 7 months now, so the next step in treatment is an injection, which I got on Monday. Next step after that is surgery, but I REALLY don’t want that. It would involve sanding bone.

Ok, contracting words is one thing (although – is typing out “you” instead of “u” really that hard?), but what the fuck is the logic behind misspelling words in ways that take MORE characters?
Part of it is because they’re British, and some of the stuff is spelled phonetically, so it’s different than we’d do it. Like when she writes “everyfink” and “togeva”, it’s because that’s how she pronounces “everything” and “together”. Could be Cockney, could be North Country/Yorkshire, I’m not sure.
CGB: Wasting Your Potential, Your Time, & Your Life Since 2006.
I would guess that’s more along the lines of “Estuary English” – Cockney merging into Essex. Yorkshiremen and women sound like Jeremy Clarkson and Michael Parkinson.
ah, thanks for the clarification, I still have much to learn about accents :-)

But you also, for obvious reasons, have waaaaaay more experience with British accents than I do.
