What Is The Purpose of A College Coach?
Watching Marshawn Lynch piledrive his way into the end zone on Sunday against the Raiders yesterday, I can’t help but look back upon his exciting tenure at California.

The offensive line was absolutely flawless in their execution of the game plan and their protection of Mark Sanchez. Yes, they allowed one sack in the 4th qtr. when SC was going for […]
Let’s Speak of It One More Time: Cal-Maryland Report Card
(Check out Testudo Times for a report card of Maryland’s team) First of all, everyone’s looking for a scapegoat to blame Cal. The humidity, the weather, the turnovers, the coaching.

Now Let Us Never Speak Of It Again
Well, this beltway trip hasn’t quite turned out the way I expected. I was expecting to have pictures to accompany this post, but I’m thinking this one should go down the memory hole asap, and I’ll be destroying all records of it (perhaps I’ll have a change of heart later). Here are some initial, slightly-impaired […]
