Pac-10 Coaching Carousel, Part I
The coaching fluctuation has been pretty consistent in the Pac-10: Two coaches out last year, two coaches out this year. Bill Doba is out. The Karl Dorrell Kool-Aid is now fresh out, and Bruins Nation has now lost the inspiration for 80% of their posts. It’d be funny if the Bruins really did go ahead […]
On the BCS, Part II
I’m sure you already know the story. Missouri got HOSED. HOSED I say! Chase Daniel is a Heisman finalist damnit! Sadly, in a month no one will remember their cries. The reward for the #1 team the next-to-last week of the season is to face Darren McFadden in what’s basically his NFL audition. This will […]
On Coaches
On the bright side, for the first time in many an offseason, we probably won’t have to worry about Tedford leaving us. It’s kind of ironic, because before the season started, 2008 seemed like the perfect time for him to jump to healthier pastures. His youngest son was graduating. The impending retirement of Lloyd Carr […]
On the BCS, Part I
Oh, I forgot about the actual BCS, didn’t I? Despite all my gripes about a playoff system, it does nothing to alleviate the loathing I have for the BCS. This system is utter douchebaggery at its finest, an arrogant tool that tinkers and fixes itself on a yearly basis, only to create more substantial fuckups […]
On Quitting
I don’t really want to talk too much about the collapse yet–it’s too soon. Breaking it all down right now will force me into alcoholism. Let me dwell on it after our bowl game. But there are a few things I want to touch on, some of them involving the status of our head coach. […]
On Playoffs. “PLAYOFFS?”
There is going to be a lot of debate about who deserves what after the way things ended this season about how to decide a national champion. That there should be a playoff because this season of chaos has not revealed a clear-cut two teams that stand from teh pack. More importantly for Golden Bear […]
Cal to the Armed Forces Bowl
The BCS looks like it’s snubbed Arizona State, sending them to the Holiday Bowl to face Texas. East coast bias strikes again! Thanks again Tom Hansen, you worthless douchebag. Enjoy rubbing one out to your precious volleyball matches. That leaves the following projections. Holiday: ASU Sun: Oregon Emerald: Oregon State Las Vegas: UCLA Armed Forces: […]
The Bears Are Whimpering (Reactions to the Big Game)
Some blogs handle defeat better than others. On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being tolerable, 1 being intolerable, The Golden Blogs are a 15, Oski Talk a 10, TBIOOTF is a 0, I’m probably a 3, and Bruins Nation is -5000. Some blogs stopped writing after the Husky defeat, so I guess they’re […]
The Big Game Report Card
Quarterback: D. Typical Nate. Strong promising start, even a deep ball or two. He even had a great play-action throw to Jordan. But his second half was hideous, 9-30 with two picks, and he looked more and more gimpy as the weeks went on. There was an inordinate amount of pressure put on him too; […]
Yeah…
[youtube Fj_K-0ucHYA] This is how I feel. [youtube LpZBEiWj-i8] And this. [youtube mZJOPwDzG4o] And this. [youtube 5QAn6nfQN8Q] I’ll be back when I stop hating myself.
