Feedback Time: How Much Does This Place Suck?

We’re nearing the end of July, which has been a practically dead season for blogging, so we want some suggestions before the fall season kicks up and everything gets crazy again. What would you like to see that would help out you, the typical college Cal student/alumnus?

No Breaks for the Rich–Golden State’s Summer, Part II

While the Warriors didn’t land Garnett, they were busy making other moves.

Clearly with this punctuation mark from last year’s playoffs, Jason Richardson didn’t seem to be ready to leave Golden State anytime soon. As most Warriors fans know by now, Chris Mullin thought otherwise. On Draft Night, the GM dealt Richardson for the Bobcats #8 [...]

Destiny Was Just A Dropped Call Away–Golden State’s Summer, Part I

It’s been a pretty quiet summer in the offseason–you know, other than that referee taking away Game 3 from the Suns, and fixing about a thousand other games as far as we know. But there’s also been some hullabaloo over at NBA Nation’s favorite story in the Bay Area. The Warriors have been busy trying [...]

Does This Paragraph Make You Want to Quit Bottled Water?

Berkeley might consider themselves a bastion of the environmental cause, but man do they like drinking their bottled water. Obsessed with flouride, chemicals in the tap water, or just trying to be cool, the yuppies are always looking for ways to feel like they’re overseas and very trendy hipsters. It’s just so cool to [...]

Ever Found A Nudist You Would Date? (Warning: Not Safe For Life)

Some people think Berkeley is just a swell place to live. These people conjure these ideas because they see residents like our friends above inhabit it, not allowing themselves to be constricted by trifles like clothing and decency. And we agree. Never can imagine a more pleasant feeling watching physically sagging human beings walk around [...]

Barry Bonds, Feeling Young Again

See that young chapper above? That’s Barry Bonds, or was him when he resembled a normal human being. By the end of this week, he’ll probably be your home run king. At least for another six or seven years, when the even more unlikeable A-Rod will surpass him. So no matter what happens, the American [...]
