Men's BBall to face Louisville in NCAAs:
BERKELEY - California, 2010 Pac-10 regular-season champion, earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament and will play Louisville in a first-round game Friday at the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Fla. The Golden Bears (23-10 overall, 13-5 Pac-10) are the No. 8 seed in the South Region, while the Cardinals (20-12, 11-7) are seeded ninth.
Tip-off will be 30 minutes following the conclusion of the game between Duke and Arkansas-Pine Bluff/Winthrop at 4:25 p.m. PT, approximately 6:55 p.m. PT.
The winner of the Cal-Louisville game will play a second-round game Sunday against the winner of No. 1 seed Duke (28-5, 13-3 ACC) and the No. 16 seed, which will be determined by the winner of an opening-round game between Arkansas Pine-Bluff (17-15, 14-4 SWAC) and Winthrop (19-13, 12-6 Big South) on Tuesday in Dayton, Ohio. Game times will be announced later Sunday, and all games in the NCAA Tournament will be televised by CBS.
The Bears are making their second straight and 16th overall appearance in the NCAA Tournament. Last year, Cal earned a No. 7 seed but fell to 10th-seeded Maryland in the first round in Kansas City, 81-74. The Bears are in the NCAA field for the sixth time in the past 10 years and 11th time in the last 20.
This year's Cal team is led by Pac-10 Player of the Year Jerome Randle, who became the school's all-time leading scorer during the Pac-10 Tournament. He enters the postseason with 1,802 points and an average of 18.7 ppg in 2009-10.
Randle is one of four senior starters who averaged at least 10 ppg and earned All-Pac-10 notice this year. Patrick Christopher, also a first-team choice, contributes 16.0 ppg, along with second-team selections Theo Robertson (14.1 ppg) and Jamal Boykin (12.0 ppg).
The Bears enter the tournament having won six of their last seven and nine of their past 11. Cal reached the final of the Pac-10 Tournament for the second time in its history before losing to Washington, 79-75, in the title game.
Louisville was defeated by Cincinnati in the first round of the Big East Tournament after finishing tied for fifth in conference during the regular season. The Cardinals are led by third-team All-Big East selection Samardo Samuels in both scoring (15.3 ppg) and rebounding (7.0 rpg). Edgar Sosa leads the club in assists (4.5 apg) and three-point field goals made (66-172, .384), and is also the team's only other double-digit point scorer (13.3 ppg).

Sunday Selection Press Quotes:
On being in the last bracket announced
“I wish they would have announced that the first bracket but we’re in the tournament and that is what we played all year for. We are happy. We are excited for it.”
On playing on Friday in Jacksonville, Florida
“The Friday game I think is good. The distance is probably not as good but if you are going to go a-ways-away having a little extra time is going to help.”
On facing Louisville in the first round
“Louisville is obviously a storied program with a great history. Rick [Pitino] is a great coach. It is certainly a big challenge. I haven’t seen Louisville on tape yet but we have been taping games of potential NCAA opponents consistently so we have a whole bunch of their tapes to look at to see what challenges they present.”
On being in the same bracket with Mike Krzyzewski and Rick Pitino
“Well, I know Mike Krzyzewski very well. I consider him a pretty good friend and he is one of the people I respect. Rick is one of the coaches that has been around with a little bit of a similar background as far as spending time in the other league. Those are two programs that if you look at the history of college basketball show up pretty nicely.”
On making the NCAA Tournament
“For us it was great to earn the right to be in the NCAA Tournament. People sometimes don’t recognize how hard that is. I don’t think that I probably did initially either. It is hard to get in the tournament. There is a lot of good basketball being played. With only 64 teams getting to go, it is a privilege to go and we are going to represent the University of California and these kids are going to represent themselves in the best fashion we possibly can.”

Womens BBall falls to Stanford:
The California Golden Bears (18-13) exited the Pac-10 Tournament with a 64-44 loss to the top-seeded Stanford Cardinal (30-1) Saturday in Los Angeles.
Cal, coming off an exciting 60-50 victory over the Arizona State Sun Devils to advance to their fourth consecutive Pac-10 Tournament semifinal appearance, played a very low-energy game against the Cardinal. Stanford scored the first seven points of the game, and never looked back. Cal pulled twice within three early in the game, both on jumpers by senior guard Alexis Gray-Lawson, but steady play by the Cardinal helped them build up a 16-point lead at the half.
Stanford opened the second half on a 10-2 run, extending their lead to 26 with 13:19. Senior guard Lauren Greif drained a three to put an end to the Cardinal run and restarted Cal’s offense.
Just as Cal begin to show some energy, with five minutes left in the game, they were dealt their biggest blow of the season.Play was halted for approximately ten minutes after senior guard Alexis Gray-Lawson fell hard on the court after having her shot blocked by a Stanford player. She was attended to on the court by medical personnel.
Cal outscored the Cardinal 12-8 after play resumed, with the Cardinal moving into the Pac-10 Tournament championship game with the 64-44 victory.
Freshman forward Gennifer Brandon led the Bears with 10 points and 9 rebounds. DeNesha Stalllworth had 8 points. Lauren Greif scored 7 in the final Pac-10 tournament game of her career.

Many perennial starters were rested and others exited in the vicinity of halftime, which had the Bears up, 52-0. James Bailes shifted from his usual fullback spot to flyhalf and was 4-for-6 on conversions before yielding to Todd Grant, who connected on 7-of-9.
By game’s end, eight true freshmen had featured for the Bears (19-0), with Braun and Colin joined by Brendan Daly, Seamus Kelly, Josh Tucker, Jake Wrobel, Alex Bowman and Tanner Mohr.

Well, first of all, CONGRATS on two talks! Somebody cares about your research!
I don’t think your sessions are too bad. Sunday AM is pretty good b/c even if no one shows, your name gets top billing. And Thursday AM tends to pick up the captive audience of people who are flying out later that day, but have nothing to do and nowhere to go.
OTOH, I’ve peeked into Thursday PM talks, which are essentially the organizer, the speaker, and whoever’s left after the speaker.

HOUSTON, TEXAS -
The University of California baseball team was neck-to-neck with No. 9-ranked Rice until the host Owls broke a 4-4 tie with three runs in the bottom of the seventh inning on the way to a 7-4 win in the final game of a four-game series Sunday, March 14 at Reckling Park in Houston. The Golden Bears ended the series, 2-2, with highly-ranked Rice, winning the first two games, 8-6 and 6-4, before falling 26-11 and 7-4 in games three and four. Cal drops to 9-5 overall and the Owls improve to 10-7.
Rice scored its three runs in the seventh on a sacrifice fly and a pair of wild pitches off Bears’ freshman left-hander Joe Kurrasch.
Junior first baseman Mark Canha was 2-for-4 on the day and gave the Bears the first run of the game with an RBI single in the first inning. Rice came back with single runs in the second and third innings of Cal junior right-hander Kevin Miller (1-2, 6.0 innings, eight hits, seven runs, five walks, three strikeouts).
The Bears added two runs in the fourth inning on a pair of sacrifice flys by freshman third baseman Tony Renda and freshman right fielder Jimmy Bosco off Rice starter Boogie Anagnostou (6.1 innings, seven hits, four runs, one walk, one strikeout) to take a 3-2 lead.
Rice regained the lead, 4-3, with two runs in the fifth inning, but Cal was able to tie it, 4-4, with a run in the top of the seventh on an RBI double by sophomore shortstop Marcus Semien, scoring Bosco who had led-off the inning with a triple.

Softball beats Davis:
BERKELEY – The No. 13 California softball team returned to form after a 2-0 win against UC Davis on Sunday afternoon with an 8-0 shellacking in the second game of Sunday’s doubleheader at Levine-Fricke Field. The Bears scored the game-winning run in the second thanks to a Shannon Thomas RBI, but really put the hurt on in the fourth when Lindsey Ziegenhirt had a three-RBI double and Vernae Sevilla had a three-run homer. Cal finished the weekend at its California Tournament with a perfect 3-0 record to move to 19-4 overall.
To begin the second game, Arioto and the Cal defense sent the Aggie order down with a ground out and two strike outs – one swinging and an inning-closing looking. The top of the second went eerily similarly to the first – a lead-off ground out and then two swinging strike outs.
With no score through the first 1.5 innings of play, Taylor Kelly had a two-out single to right center. Jamia Reid then reached on an error at short, which also allowed Kelly to move to second. Next up for the Bears, Shannon Thomas singled to center field to score Kelly from second, giving Cal a 1-0 lead that they would never relinquish.
Things came unraveled for the Aggies but together in a nice, offensive package for the Bears in the bottom of the fourth. Freshman first baseman Jolene Henderson, who had pitched a one-hitter in Sunday’s earlier game, led off with a single to center field. Thanks to a Taylor Kelly, who laid down a perfect sacrifice bunt off the first pitch, Henderson moved to second.

Womens Gymnastics doing well:
The California Golden Bears earned a team score of 190.650 in the Sunday, March 14 Tri-Meet hosted by UC Davis. The Aggies of Davis won the meet with a 194.600. Texas Women’s University was second with a 192.825.
For the sixth straight meet, the floor was the strongest event for the Bears. Avery Gee earned a 9.850 for her routine. The score matched Gee’s career high and also tied the top score for any Cal gymnast in any event during the 2010 season. Freshman Mariesah Pierce was nearly as strong, earning a 9.825 for her performance. Sophomore Alex Leggitt performed a clean routine, nailing a 9.725.
The Bears had three gymnasts earn 9.700 or higher for their balance beam performances. Freshman Madisyn O’Brien scored a 9.775, the top Cal score in the event this season, tying her for third in the event. O’Brien’s previous career high on the beam was a 9.650. Avery Gee scored a 9.750 and Mariesah Pierce a 9.700.
Each of the five Bear vaulters posted a 9.500 or higher with four ranging at 9.600 or higher. Freshman Chelsea Spomer paced the Cal gymnasts with a 9.675.
The Bears did not fare as well on the bars, an event that has troubled them all season. Arla Rosenzweig had the top mark, earning a 9.600.

Alysia Johnson captures Bronze at 800:
Former Cal All-American Alysia Johnson won a bronze medal in the 800 meters at the World Indoor Championships Sunday in Doha, Qatar, running an indoor PR of 1:59.60.
Johnson, the 2007 NCAA champion at 800 meters both indoors and outdoors, set the early pace, finishing the first 200 meters in 28.01, and she still held the lead at the halfway mark with a 58.16 split.
Great Britain’s Jennifer Meadows surged ahead and led the field through 600 meters before Mariya Savinova came through at the finish in a world-leading time of 1:58.26. Meadows was second in 1:58.43, followed by Johnson and 2010 USA champion Anna Pierce (2:00.53), who entered the race ranked No. 2 in the world. Lithuania’s Egle Balciunaite (2:01.37) and Russia’s Yevgeniya Zinurova (2:01.68) rounded out the list of finalists.
“Amazing,” Johnson said. “I just tried to go after it. I was going for gold. I wanted to push myself and make it happen. I’m so happy, so, so happy right now.”
Johnson earned her place on Team USA with a runner-up finish to Pierce at the U.S. Indoor Championships last month.

I know it’s very fashionable to trash Mrs. T these days. And she was certainly not very likeable as a person. But I’ve always felt that she was what the UK needed at the time. The country really was headed down the rat-hole. I remember when she became PM in 1979. I thought it was kind of cool that Britain had a woman PM, but I also remember vividly thinking: why would anyone want to be in charge of that country? It’s hopeless. The place is doomed, and there is nothing anyone can do to fix it. Mrs. T used harsh tactics indeed, but without them, I don’t think the UK would have pulled itself out of the nose dive it was in. In my view, Mrs. T’s biggest failure was that she stayed around too long. She kept wanting to go further and further, when the country had already gone far enough.
Snobby Chick - Senior Division
I hope you’re seated, because I’m inclined to agree. (And believe me, it was fashionable to trash her at the time.) One of the reasons that my parents were happy to leave the UK was because the unions were completely out of control, and having winters where you had power for three hours and then out for three hours, etc., was wearing really thin.
So while Thatcher did the country an overall service in breaking the unions’ destructive behavior, she also exacerbated structural unemployment by accelerating the demise of the UK’s industrial base, which in turn created a cadre of white collar folks who last worked in their 50s because it was cheaper to pension them off than maintain the jobs in the UK. That wasn’t her fault, but she put a foot on the gas pedal, and in some portions of the British population haven’t recovered (to be fair, some of them haven’t tried too hard.)
Thatcher’s governments also did a lot of damage to civil rights, but then so did the Major and Blair governments.
Gasp!
And I do know she was wildly unpopular with large segments of the British public while she was in office. How could it have been otherwise, with the measures she took? I was living in Berkeley during most of the time she was in office, and she wasn’t terribly popular there, either. I remember this marvelous poster for sale on Telegraph Avenue (and regret I did not buy one), which was a parody of the Gone With the Wind poster, with Ronald Reagan (as Rhett Butler) holding Margaret Thatcher (as Scarlett O’Hara) in a passionate embrace. The tag line was: “She offered to stay with him until the world ended. He promised to arrange it.”

Hey guys, so I didn’t just watch YouTube videos over the weekend, I swear, but I wanted to share a few…Did any of you see the new Telephone music video from Lady Gaga? That video is completely weird and long, but I kind of like it.
But I found a weirder and more excessively long video this morning: Carly Fiorina’s new video about an evil Barbara Boxer blimp attacking California. This one really puts her Demon Sheep ad to shame.
Also just in case you missed Saturday Night Live (who doesn’t!), The Lonely Island made a music video for my favorite song from their album, Boombox.
And then there is this amazing video about teddy bears attacking the Worthing beach.
The Fiorina ad is just absurdulous. And really the whole thing could be condensed into like five seconds of content (“zomg Boxer = liberal, Carly = businesswoman”).
See, it would be so much cooler if she bought an actual blimp and painted Boxer’s face on it and flew it around Sacramento. It’s not like that would be any more bizarre than Demon Sheep.
so...is she nuts? or did she just hire
a consulting firm made up of Cal Poly Sci majors who would rather take her $ and see her get abused at the ballot box?

I got a note today that was asking me to confirm the breed of my dog to determine whether or not it will change my policy… They want to make sure it is not a breed on their threat list
The dog is mixed breed, but looks kinda pit bull-ish… But because I can’t verify the breed, they want me to send in a picture of the dog so they can take their best guess at the breed… Thus determining if my policy will be changed (or even continue to be covered)
Does anyone have any insight into an issue like this? Legality of making a judgement call on temperament based on a picture and their best guess at a mixed breed dog, etc?

You can actually get DNA testing kits for dogs now. You take a swab inside their mouths and mail it to the company. Then they send back a report telling you what breeds the dog has in it. I’m sure you could find this on the internet if you wanted to. But maybe you don’t want to know, in case it turns out to have a lot of pit bull in it. Insurers don’t like that, so maybe it’s better not to know.
Snobby Chick - Senior Division
I wouldn’t rely too much on “my excuse is ignorance/willful blindness”. Your insurance policy likely says “we won’t pay for damage caused by these breeds: _.” There’s no exception for “only if you know your dog is this breed.” Certainly not after they made a point to ask you.

But if he doesn’t know the breed, at least he can honestly say he doesn’t know the breed. If he sends the picture, and the insurer decides it’s not on their “threat list,” then he has done what they asked, end of story. But if the insurer decides the dog is on their “threat list,” then he could do the test. If it turns out the dog is not pit bull (or other “threat list” material), then he could inform the insurer of the test results.

“I’m blessed to have great friends, and there are a lot of men in my life who’ve been more than just friends.”— (Golf Digest, April 2005)
Yeah. Go ahead and let that one sink in a little bit. All right now I want you to read the quote again, but imagine Jim Nantz’s voice saying it dead seriously with that familiar smug Nantz tone.
Tremendous.

You’re saying Jim Nantz is gay, huh? Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

So are you implying that Jim Nantz could be a fan of giving and/or receiving Massa Massages?

I am posting this link only because it is a genuine news event that I know would be of interest to many people who visit this site. Okay, and because even I find it hilarous.

CAL WOMEN IN NIT
The Cal women’s basketball team will host a first round NIT game on Wednesday, March 17, against U.C. Davis.
The California Golden Bears women’s basketball team will be playing in the post season for the fifth straight year, earning an at-large bid to the WNIT. They will open play on Wednesday, March 19, hosting the UC Davis Aggies at Haas Pavilion at 7:00 p.m.
Tickets for the game will go on sale Tuesday March 16th at 9 am over the phone, online or at the Athletic Ticket Office window. All seats will be general admission and the prices are: Adults – $12; Youth/Senior/Student – $7; Group (10+) – $3.
The 64-team field for the WNIT consists of 31 automatic berths – one from each established conference – and 33 at-large teams. The intention of the WNIT Selection Committee is to select the 33 best available at-large teams in the nation, regardless of conference or geographical location. All games in the single-elimination format are played at the main or alternate facilities of participating schools.
The winner of the Cal/ UC Davis game will advance to play the winner of Saint Mary’s and Utah, who face each other on Sunday, March 21.

Meanwhile, over at Esquire...
Lane Kiffin is absolutely killing golfer Natalie Gulbis in the race to become Esquire’s Sexiest Woman Alive.
It’s not too late for you to vote!
Best bit? Not one comment or bit of snark as to why they have decided to include Lane in their 64-woman bracket. I used to think Esquire were a bunch of douchebags, but now I just think I love them.
