KC Cal’s Weekly Super Fantastic Happy Explosion Awesome Article: On Bloggins and Hearing From Nasty Nate
Yesterday, Avinash wrote a trite and insightful piece on his take about the Bissinger-Deadspin controversy. It is true that sometimes we like to mock and joke on our favorite team when they’re down in the dirt just a little. Yet at the same time, I also ask the question: is that so bad? Lately, there [...]
The Sports Media Revolution
There’s been some talk by the Golden Blogs and Excuse Me For My Voice about the Bissinger-Deadspin huzzzah! Now it’s my turn (I’ll provide a healthy set of links later on).
I admit, I’m a long-time Deadspin reader (although not as frequently as before). Unlike my fellow compatriots, I’m not going to be so harsh on [...]
KC Cal’s Weekly Super Fantastic Happy Explosion Awesome Article: The Draft
Hi everyone. My name is KC Cal, and Avinash has kindly let me fill in for him for a weekly segment over here at the Bears Necessity. I also run a blog at The Play in California. I excel at making up characters like Emo Alex Smith, Impatient Aaron Rodgers, and other [...]
Ask the Readers: Call for Cal Writers
I’ve been putting it off long enough, and now with the new site design going in and Cal sports reaching a lull, it’s a good time to look for new writers.
Writing seven times a week seems great, but the rest of my life has suffered because of this site. Eventually I’ll crash and burn, and [...]
Cal Sports Weekend Links
As much as I’d like to, I can’t report on everything…and for some reason, my auto del.icio.us weekly responder didn’t report the links I compiled last week. So here are spring links on Cal from a week ago.

Oh Yeah, I Won
If you have no idea what I’m talking about, I refer you to the Play in CA’s bold declaration. I treaded last place throughout the entire contest, but Kansas and Memphis pulled through for me, saved us from a Hansborough-Love slobberfest, and catapulted my bracket into an impregnable first. Everyone else had UCLA and North [...]
“A Turn For The Awesome” (Ben Braun Memories)
Because I only caught the tail end of Cal basketball under Braun (the NBA consumes too much of my life to follow college in earnest), I can really add nothing to personal memories of Ben Braun. I just watched what I saw on TV, and it was kind of like watching paint dry, then repainting [...]
Cal Sports Weekend Links
As March Madness rages, in between commercial breaks and CBS lunges, I thought you might be interested in some other Cal material.
Remember when I created those primitive Pac-10 recruiting maps (here they are again)? Well, someone much better than me created something far more visually pleasing. Below are the 2008 HS and JUCO and upcoming [...]
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 [...]
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 prefer, [...]
