And Now, Something No One Cares About

The new site header should be updated this week. Hold your breath until then. Note: Please skip over this if you can’t handle self-indulgence. I’m in these NCAA Brackets like each and every one of you (about ten this year–I think there’s an inverse relationship between the number of friends you have and the number […]

Doing What You Least Expect (Forsett’s TD vs. USC)

Tedford didn’t have too many great moments of playcalling this year (that crazy sheet he held during every game looked like it held the nuclear missile codes)–he had to do to much. But one thing that didn’t really lose substantiality was the art of misdirection (Apologies for the quality of these images, these are from […]

Cal Football Spring Links and BlogLove

All the winners of the CFBAs should have been announced today and I’d just like to say I hate you all for not finding a single award to put me in (I’d take Worst Blogger Ever, just give me attention). Ha, I’m just kidding! Congrats guys. If I ever met you in real life, I’m […]

Saying Goodbye–Justin Forsett

Tex was a great player, a great kid, a stout Christian who did things right and played right. Every game you could expect 100% from Justin, healthy or not healthy. His effort was unparalleled, and he provided the clinching TDs in 4 of Cal’s 6 victories (Tennessee, Arizona, Oregon, Wazzu). While his size could be […]

And Now You May Cringe

[youtube t9ZdNA36ulI] This treesitting farce and the comical way the UCPD has decided to combat this particular incidents (allowing hippies to intrude onto campus ground again and bang up their bongos to disturb the classrooms) makes me requestion our tactics in the war on terror. You know, waterboarding people with frayed ponytails and tye-dye shirts. […]

Pac-10 2008 Helmet Schedule

Just a little something I cooked up–I was inspired by the SEC version and decided the nations’s other great conference deserved a little visual representation. Click on the image below for the gigantic version, because the helmets are pretty. You can also download it as an Excel file by right-clicking on the link at the […]

Saying Goodbye–Tha1

It’s hard to see where you’re going DeSean. I know it’s tough for me to judge the type of player you are. One moment, you were Randy Moss in New England, doing everything in spectacular ways to help your team win, the next moment you were Randy Moss in Oakland, seemingly backing your way out […]

Blue or Gold?

This site is overdue for a major rehaul, so I was happy to let LawVol from Gate21.com try out his hand at redesigning the site. He’s done a great job with the header, and I’m opening up discussion to my readers to help me choose which one to use and Which design do you guys […]

Cal Football 2007 in Numbers: Turnovers III

So to summarize the last two posts, let’s take a look at the table displaying the output off of turnovers. Cal turnovers stand for the number of times we forced a turnover, POT is points off turnovers. [TABLE=14] The symmetry is obvious: Cal forced eleven more turnovers than its opponents in its first five games–the […]
